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.

Arthritis is a common issue in adult dogs. A dog that may be suffering from this should be brought to a veterinarian for an exam; it is important that the dog is diagnosed and treated as soon as possible. Diet, exercise, and medication can help. The dog should not be given human medication.
