Can you give your dog yucca root for arthritis?

I will strongly advise that you do not - there is no evidence that yucca root has any beneficial effects on arthritis and it may have negative side effects that could cause a medical emergency. If you believe your dog would benefit from medication to alleviate arthritis pain, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. He/she can figure out what is causing the arthritis and if indicated can provide a prescription for medication to help your dog feel better.


How do you ease the pain of a dog with arthritis?

My dog has arthritis in her hips, and what we find works, is giving her a Tylenol arthritis!Answer First of all, Tylenol is an analgesic drug to relieve pain and fever like symptoms but they are not advisable to be given to pets, especially dogs and cats. In the short term, it may relieve the pain, but in the long run, they have the potential to produce a number if undesirable and potentially fatal side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney disease, liver disease.For long term treatment, it would be better to give natural chondroprotective supplements such as Arthro-Ionx, which is formulated specially to help relieve the muscle pain and eliminate arthritis in dogs.Even pets with hip dysplasia can also benefit from it.
