Stiff joints are a common and progressive condition that is thought to affect up to 80% of older dogs. The older your dog gets, the more likely it is to be affected, though it can unfortunately affect younger dogs too.

It is a common observation that as dogs progress from middle to old age, they decrease their levels of activity to some degree. This may be for several reasons, including the numerous undiagnosed factors involved in the process of aging. Several studies have previously been undertaken looking at the potential benefits of nutraceutical supplements.
