Chrondrotin Sulfate (GAG)
This is a natural polymer of protein and disaccharides and is composed of glucosamine, galactosamine, and glucuronic acid. Collectively, chondrotin sulfates make up a major portion of the GAGs (glucosaminoglycans) in cartilage.
Jubilee GAG Wafers are specially formulated for dogs. These wafers are food products that may function to inhibit cartilage degradation by helping to stimulate the body's ability to produce more GAGs. The cartilage make up of our formulation may help with the hydration of joints because of their polyanionic characteristics - thus, the lubrication needed in joints for proper function.
GAGs are in the form of a functional food rather than the traditional oral pill form. Jubilee GAG Wafers are natural (not a drug), so feeding in conjunction with arthritis medication prescribed by your veterinarian can be useful with no side effects. They are not a substitute for treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.
Arthritis stems from the degradation of the cartilage within a joint. Cartilage acts as a buffer between bones in a joint and breakdown of cartilage can reduce the efficiency of the functions of the joint. Mild arthritis in uncomfortable. Severe arthritis, which can progress to bone on bone contact is the cartilage damage is extensive, is very painful.
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis include:
Diagnosing Osteoarthritis can be done by a veterinarian with a physical exam and validated with radiographs.
Hip Dysplaysia - malformation of the joints causing arthritis and painful joints.
Disc Disease - collapsed disc spaces and bony formations under the disc spaces causing back pain.
Osteoarthritis - knees or elbows - damaged cartilage occurs in these joints secondary to dislocating knee caps, torn ligament within the knee, hereditary or congenital malformations of the knees, elbows or trauma.
GAGs should be a part of a complete care program supervised by a veterinarian. There is no need to wait for symptoms of arthritis to become pronounced to start using Jubilee Wafers - it works as a great preventative. It can even be started in young dogs known to have predisposition to hip, elbow, knee or shoulder dysplaysia. Any dog that has experienced severe joint trauma will benefit.
