Staying mobile – for life: What dogs and cats need for strong joints

The secret of good joint care – how gentle products can help

Joint health is an issue that affects many pet owners – not just older ones. Even young animals can benefit from targeted care. But how can you support mobility naturally? And what gentle remedies are available that strengthen joints and well-being in the long term?


1. Why joint care is important – not just for seniors

Whether running around, jumping, or climbing stairs, joints are in daily use. Over time, they can lose elasticity and function due to age, stress, or genetic predisposition. Targeted support can help maintain quality of life.

Typical signs that joints need support:

  • Reluctance to stand up or jump

  • Stiffness after lying down

  • Avoid stairs or long walks

  • Sudden reluctance to move


2. Gentle support for healthy mobility

Many pet owners are looking for natural ways to care for joints – without any harmful additives.

Gentle helpers can be:

  • Green-lipped mussel – contains glycosaminoglycans and omega-3 fatty acids

  • Herbs such as willow bark, nettle or rosehip

  • Plant-based nutritional supplements

  • Products with natural essences that can be administered daily via treats


3. Movement is key

Joint care is not just a matter of feeding – moderate exercise is also crucial:

  • Regular, joint-friendly walks

  • No excessive demands, but also no protective attitude

  • Soft bedding and warm resting places

  • For cats: heights and play opportunities for muscle building


4. Prevention starts early

It's important not to wait until problems arise to act. Joint care can be supported even at a young age, especially in large breed dogs or active animals.


5. Conclusion

Healthy joints are crucial for vitality and activity. Gentle, natural products—combined with sensible exercise—help keep your pet mobile and happy in the long term.
