Sushi, Pomeranian & Stiff Joints or Arthritis
Pomeranian Arthritis: How Sushi Found Her Stride Again
Sushi is an 11-year-old Pomeranian from Tustin, California. Due to high breeding, she had struggled with her gait her whole life — and as she aged, severe arthritis settled into her front shoulders and legs, leaving her with a stiff, peg-legged walk. A friend's recommendation led her owner S. Griffiths to Nzymes Antioxidant Treats. The results came quickly — and not just in her joints.
What happened when a high-bred Pomeranian's arthritis kept getting worse with age?
Sushi is my 11-year-old Pomeranian. Due to her high-breeding, she has had problems with walking correctly her whole life, apparently due to stiff joints or annoying joint pain. As she aged her condition got progressively worse. A few years back, she developed severe arthritis in her front shoulders and legs causing her to have a stiff almost a peg-legged walk.
A friend told me about Nzymes® Antioxidant Treats and how it had helped her dog's arthritis in such a short time. I ordered some and within just a couple of weeks, Sushi was able to get 
around much easier. After about a month there was a significant improvement in her mobility along with her spirits and overall health. Additionally, I noticed that her coat had improved and that the amount she sheds has reduced quite a bit.
The great thing about Nzymes® Antioxidant Treats is that to Sushi they are "treats". The minute I pick up the bottle and shake it, she comes immediately. I truly feel that I owe my dog's good health to Nzymes®.
From NZYMES: A note about small dogs and the Antioxidant Treats
When Sushi's owner found Nzymes back in 2002, the full-sized Antioxidant Treats were all we offered. They worked beautifully — as this story shows. But small dogs like Sushi were exactly who we had in mind when we later developed our Antioxidant Tiny Treats for Small Dogs.
Same formula. Half the size. Ideal for smaller mouths and easier daily dosing for toy and small breeds. If you have a Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Maltese, or any small dog dealing with joint issues, the Tiny Treats are the practical choice — and they're listed as a size variation on the same product page.
Antioxidant Treats — full size and small dog (Tiny Treats)
Live superfood nutrition in a chewable daily treat. The same foundational formula that supported Sushi's joints, coat, and overall vitality — now available in two sizes. Select the size that fits your dog on the product page.

Is your small dog dealing with stiff joints or arthritis?
Sushi's improvement — faster movement, better coat, reduced shedding, improved spirits — reflects what we see consistently when foundational live-enzyme nutrition gives the body what commercial pet food can't provide. The joints benefit. The coat benefits. Everything works better when the cellular foundation is right.
For a deeper look at how Nzymes foundational nutrition compares to and complements glucosamine-based joint supplements, see our article on Nzymes vs. Glucosamine.
