May Is Dog Health Awareness Month At Pup Life; This Year PupLife.com Will Focus On Joint And Bone Health.
Fennville, MI (PRWEB) May 1, 2008 -- PupLife.com is pleased to celebrate Dog Health Awareness Month in May by providing timely articles, resource guides, tips and information to encourage and promote healthy lifestyles for dogs. Joint and Bone Health in Canines serves as the focus for 2008. PupLife.com is proud to sponsor Dog Health Awareness Month for the fifth consecutive year.
Throughout the month of May, PupLife.com will feature articles and information specifically related to joint and bone health, maintaining healthy lifestyles and managing joint diseases like arthritis. Arthritis is the result of inflammation in the joints. This may be caused by degeneration or swelling of the joint either through a genetic abnormality, wear and tear or infection. Stiffness after exercise or intermittent lameness in dogs may be a sign of arthritis. Because arthritis and other joint-related diseases may have several underlying causes, a trip to the veterinarian is a better choice than giving an aspirin and turning a blind eye to the problem.
It is important to know that much progress has been made in the treatment and management of canine arthritis and joint-related diseases. Veterinarians are offering more practical options and strategies to enhance the health of companion pets. Growing interest in biologically appropriate dog food, natural supplements and holistic health care for dogs has encouraged pet owners to take a more proactive approach to their dog's diet and lifestyle in an effort to make better choices.
Additionally, veterinarians and pet owners alike are beginning to recognize that exercise is a vital link in creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle for pet dogs. All of us are aware of the dangers of obesity, but many of us may not know that poor nutrition and lack of exercise may contribute to an increased risk of disease. Establishing a healthy diet and exercise program will help your "best friend" enjoy a happier and hopefully longer life.
"We believe that education is the first step in creating healthy lifestyles for ourselves and our pets," said PupLife.com CEO, Leslie Hayes-Houtkooper. She continued, "In addition to seeking out the best products for dogs, we gather a wide array of information, both conventional and alternative, and make it available to our customers to aid them in creating the healthiest lifestyle possible. That's why Dog Health Awareness Month is so important to us."
