Functional chews formulated by veterinarians to support the maintenance of joints and assist in the reduction of arthritic symptoms in small herbivores.
Arthritis is becoming a more commonly seen issue in small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs, particularly as our care for the animals improve and lifespans increase. There can be many factors that contribute to the development of joint issues such as:
• Age – rabbits and guinea pigs older than 5 are more likely to develop arthritis.
• Obesity – high body weight puts pressure on joints and restricts movement.
• Previous trauma – previous joint injuries are more likely to cause issues later on.
• Poor nutrition – if not fed a balanced diet, bones and joints may not have the nutrition they need to form correctly and maintain strength.
FlexJoint contains a combination of plant-based glucosamine and MSM to help provide joint health support for small animals in an easy, tasty chew. Glucosamine provides nutritional components for the maintenance of healthy joints, supporting joint function and repair. MSM is a naturally occurring supplement known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
Key Features:
Support – May assist animals suffering from osteoarthritis, joint pain and reduced mobility.
Repair – Glucosamine provides the nutritional components for joint function and repair.
Naturally Delicious – Easy to administer, as a highly palatable chew made from fresh Australian ingredients.
