Hi all. Using my pet-matters FB page to introduce you to Merlina. A beautiful, black female cat ready to be adopted through Les chats du Mercantour....Are you ready to learn more about Merlina and fall in love 😻?

Merlina is a beautiful 3 year old, super healthy and all black female 🐱. She is a typical, what we call in French, chatchien - or rather 'a cat acting like a dog type cat' in English 😉 - meaning she will follow her human around everywhere (bye bye solo toilet visits 😊😂). She therefor requires a home where her people are present most of the time.

Merlina absolutely adores cuddles and will reward you in return with many super calming purring sounds, she is a real purring machine, say bye bye to lockdown stress! She prefers to be the single most important member of the household (can you blame her?) so no other animals nor (young) children.

Ofcourse Merlina would loooove a garden so she can tell you all about her daily outdoor adventures, she is rather talkative so we need you to speak and understand cat language to be able to enjoy her stories 😉.

We think Merlina is a real gem and are convinced you will feel the same once you've met her!!
* Merlina is a non pedigree, European short hair
* Born 01/01/2018
* Dewormed & sterilised
* Tested negative for FeLV (Feline leukemia) and FIV (Feline AIDS).
* Health certificate will be provided by our vet

If Merlina has tugged at your heart strings, how can she not have?.... Please contact me, Jo, on [email protected] or call/whats app on 0689689212.

What are the main causes of joint issues in dogs? Whilst each dog&case is unique there are some common causes and knowing and reading about them could help you become more aware, so here goes:

Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a condition where a dog’s hip socket has not properly formed. This results in joint damage and arthritis in dogs due to the ill fit. Because the bone doesn't fit into the socket properly, it can create pain, inflammation, and irritation from the rubbing. A few signs of arthritis in dogs include change of behavior, limping or whimpering. Although any breed of dog can be affected with this condition, it is often seen in German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Newfoundland, and Labrador Retrievers. Hip dysplasia is considered a genetic condition that can be passed down the line and inherited by their offspring. However, other factors such as obesity or insufficient levels of exercise can speed up the onset. Additionally, though this condition can occur at any time any dog's life, it appears to be more common in older dogs and related to the aging process.

Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis in older dogs is caused by natural degeneration due to wear and tear on the joints. Dogs can suffer from this wear and tear with any joint in their body, including their elbows, shoulders, knees, back, and hips.

Panosteitis
Panosteitis is common, and is the result of inflammation on the surface of a dog’s long bones. Panosteitis is sometimes referred to as “growing pains”, as the condition appears to be related to rapid growth, especially in younger, larger dogs. Lameness can affect more than one leg bone, and shift from one leg to another.

These are some of the most common causes. As mentioned before, always see your vet, but being aware and informed may help you recognize early symptoms.

Our Dog Joint&Mobility supplement supports healthy and flexible joints, has a strong anti-inflammatory effect & supports the immune system. For more information and ingredient list visit our website: www.horseandpetnutrition.com

COMMON HIP&JOINT PROBLEMS IN DOGS -WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:
Occasionally, you may notice your dog appears to be moving a bit more slowly than normal, or perhaps even limping. Often, this is due to some sort of hip or joint discomfort your dog is experiencing. Dogs can develop hip and joint problems at any age, and it doesn’t matter whether they are young or old, or whether they are tiny or big. Some breeds may be more prone to hip and joint problems than others, and older dogs are more often affected simply due to age and the natural deterioration of joint and bone health, but hip and joint pain doesn’t discriminate in choosing its victims. Though joint discomfort in the hips seems to be the most common area, dogs can suffer in their shoulders, knees, and elbows too. Some dogs may even develop stiffness in the joints between their spinal vertebrae. It is important to properly diagnose the source of your dog’s discomfort to effectively treat it. In some cases, it may never be fully eradicated, and treatment will encompass managing your dog’s discomfort over the long-term.
Our "DOG JOINT & MOBILITY" supplement supports healthy and flexible joints, has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and supports the immune system and can be given from a young age onwards. Forming strong bones and cartilage during growth is extremely important, and may prevent expensive future vet treatments.
In our next post we will focus on causes of hip and joint issues in dogs. In the meantime check out our website www.horseandpetnutrition.com for more information and to place your order!
