Common Causes & Risk Factors

• Up to 1 in 5 dogs experience joint pain or mobility issues (osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease).

• Age-related wear and tear

• Genetics & breed predisposition (e.g. hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia)

• Previous joint injuries (e.g. ligament tears) that trigger chronic inflammation

• Obesity or excess weight, which increases stress on joints

Signs to Watch For

Dogs may not say “I hurt,” so watch for subtle changes:

• Hesitation getting up, lying down, or climbing stairs

• Slower or limp walk, short stride

• Less interest in playing or walking

• Stiffness, especially after rest

• Favoring one limb or “skipping”

• Muscle loss around affected joints

Why Nutrition & Supplementation Matter

Joint degeneration progresses at the microscopic level long before obvious symptoms appear. Because of that, diet and the Nzymes Sprouted Granules play a crucial role in slowing damage, reducing inflammation, and supporting repair.
