Causes of arthritis in dogs
Humans have arthritis, so do pets, but they can't express it. Healthy joints, including strong bones, have a special substance called synovial sac, which protects the ends of bones from being hit by adjacent bones. However, due to long-term overuse or unbalanced nutrition of dog food, there are too many acidic substances in pets, while synovial bursa and cartilage dissolve in acid, the natural protective barrier disappears, and the end of bones protrudes and proliferates, which limits the movement of joints and brings great inconvenience to pets. In addition, the expansion of acidic substances will lead to a large loss of calcium in the body, causing muscle pain.
