Maintaining a trim waistline, a nutritious diet, and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for senior dogs. Adding nutraceuticals to their regimen can prevent joint deterioration and inflammation, ensuring your senior dog stays active and comfortable.

Dr. Moran explains, “Joints are like an old house, and nutraceuticals are the materials needed to keep them healthy. While you might not see an immediate response, you're investing in the future joint health of your dog.”
