HA Chewables
I have to tell you about my latest discovery! The vet who owns the company that makes HA Chewables gave me a bottle to try on my 11 year old Black Lab, Bonnie. Bonnie was born with severe hip and elbow dysplsia, and subsequently, arthritis. I kept her on her Rimadyl as I started her on these chewable tablets. In 3 weeks I noticed a difference. She was up and watching us prepare her meals. Then she started going for daily walks again! In a few weeks she was RUNNING out the door in the morning, hopping up on a 2’ terrace wall, and running to the back gate to sniff who had passed by in the night, and still going for daily walks. After 2 months use, we only give her Rimadyl occasionally when she is limping (usually from overdoing it!). I have been amazed. So, we decided to try it on Jake.
Jake is 7 years old, just starting to slow down a little. He has severe hip dysplasia, and had hip surgery when he was 1 year old, so we started him on it. It’s been a month, and he hops up and down when he gets excited! I’ve never seen him do this before!
HA Chewables is a veterinarian-researched and developed, clinically demonstrated sodium hyaluronate formula containing proven ingredients that help maintain the health of your dog’s joints. These convenient chewable tablets offer palatable natural beef and liver flavorings and can be given daily.
H yaluronic Acid (the HA in HA Chewables) is found in the synovial joint fluid, the vitreous humor of the eye, the cartilage and skin. However, as we age, the level of HA decreases. Injuries and surgery can also compromise our ability to produce HA. The same is true for dogs. As they age, their HA levels decline and they are more prone to joint trouble. Hyaluronic Acid is responsible for joint lubrication, absorbing shock and supplying nutrients to cartilage through its ability to attract water and liquids. This is important because cartilage is not supplied with blood vessels and relies on the joint fluid to supply nutrients and to cleanse the joint of impurities.
HA Chewables provide 10mg of sodium (hyaluronic acid – the precursor to glucosamine in the body) per chewable tablet. Each bottle contains 60 chewable tablets. Try it on your dog today!
