From Booklist
Our companion animals are suffering the same joint pain that we do and usually for the same reason--aging. Beale, a veterinarian with more than 10 years of studying osteoarthritis in animals, and Adderly, a health reporter and coauthor of The Arthritis Cure, show in this new book how a combination of nutritional supplements can halt, reverse, or even cure the pain of arthritis. Beginning with two chapters that define and explain exactly what arthritis is and how it affects dogs and cats, the authors move on to discuss painkillers and the fact that they will not cure arthritis. The meat of the book is in the next three chapters describing the cure--glucosamine and chondroitin--and supportive measures, such as painkillers, a healthy diet, and mineral supplements. The remaining chapters discuss other types of arthritis treatments, the value of exercise, and the aging pet in general. This sensibly written book will help pet owners to provide over-the-counter care for their arthritic animals, and, in conjunction with veterinary care, should enhance the lives of aging pets.

Help relieve your pet's pain
Very informative book. Covers everything from explaining Arthritis, how it develops, how to recognize the signs and various step to help your pet. I learned so much from this book. It explains how exercise and diet can greatly help your pet and what to look for in commercial pet foods. The book also explores the supplements that can promote healthy joints and what pain medicine is available for your pet. Everything in the book is relatively easy and inexpensive and will give your pet a better quality of life.
