Following injury: Broken bones (located next to joints) may put pressure on joints due to pain or mechanical restriction from bars, plates or bands or it could be that the cartilage has also been damaged. Large breed puppies can suffer problems as a result of rapid growth and an unbalanced diet can lead to problems with cartilage. Even as puppies, signs of pain and limited movement can develop. Breed specific: Certain breeds are prone to limb issues with uneven pressure on joints. Targeted dietary supplements may prevent such problems. LUPOSAN Joint 20 Powder can also be administered for the optimal development of ear cartilage for puppies with pricked ears. LUPOSAN Joint 20 Powder optimally supports pregnant bitches in the third and final trimester with the formation of connective tissue in fetuses and supplies the mother with essential vital substances. Sporty and working dogs also put more stress on their joints than normal cartilage without a dietary supplement could possible handle. LUPOSAN Joint 20 Powder supports exercise, vitality and motivation. Optimale diet + exercise = healthy joints.
