The Link Between Diet and Joint Health in Ageing Pets

As pets age, wear and tear on their joints can lead to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. While joint supplements can help, the foundation of joint health begins with what’s in your pet’s bowl.

Weight Management Matters

Excess weight puts additional pressure on joints, leading to inflammation and discomfort. Feeding a biologically appropriate diet that maintains lean muscle mass helps reduce this burden.

Anti-Inflammatory Nutrients

Certain foods contain nutrients that naturally reduce inflammation:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or krill oil
  • Antioxidants from organ meats and coloured vegetables
  • Collagen and glucosamine found in bone broth and cartilage

Avoid These Ingredients:

  • Excess carbohydrates, especially refined grains and starches
  • Inflammatory seed oils such as soybean or corn oil

By feeding for joint support, you help your pet stay active, comfortable, and happier well into their senior years.
