A NATURAL, HEALTHY WAY TO TREAT YOUR DOG. Jubilee Wafers can be mixed with the dog's regular food or given as a special treat. They should be part of a complete care program as a dietary supplement. These wafers are dog health food products that may function to inhibit cartilage degradation by helping to stimulate the body's ability to produce more GAGs (Glycosaminoglycans). The cartilage make-up of our formulation may help with the hydration of joints because of their polyanionic characteristics - thus, the lubrication needed in joints for proper function. Jubilee Wafer GAG's will benefit any dog that has experienced severe joint trauma. Best of all, nearly all dogs love these highly palatable biscuits. Wafers are 2 inch squares that are designed to encourage your dog to chew his treat, exercising his gums and teeth to promote healthy dental hygiene. They are formulated to be a complete and balanced diet and not just for older dogs.
JUBILEE WAFERS are low in fat and can be given safely as a natural treat/meal for:
*These Nutrients are not recognized as essential by AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profiles. Statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Jubilee Wafers are not intended to diagnose, treat., cure or prevent any disease.
Feeding 2 Jubilee Wafers twice a day (total 4 Wafers) will provide 500 mg. Chondroitin Sulfate and 60 mg. Glucosamine HCL.
The most common problems dogs encounter as they age include osteoarthritis, rheumatism, schleroderma and arthritis diseases. Genetic disorders include Elbow Dysplaysia, Herniated Disc, Mayasthenia Gravis, Degenerative Myelopathy, Osteochondritis Dissecans, Panosteitis and Leg-Calve-Perthes Disease. Signs include pain, lameness, reluctance to climb stairs, stiffness, joint distortion, wobbly and uncoordinated gait.
Different practitioners favor different combinations of treatment from herbs, homeopathic preparations, nutrition, acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, surgery and medication to help manage the pain and inflammation. Emphasis should be on a good, diagnostic work-up before initiating any treatment.
Management of the patient's pain and stiffness is essentially management of the arthritis, as nothing can be done to correct the underlying problems of joint laxity or to reverse the degeneration of the bones. On the other hand, alleviating the inflammation and pain of arthritis without negative side effects is often enough to restore function to the joint and a meaningful quality of life.
Cartilage derived mucopolysaccharides as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates A and C have been found helpful in relieving inflammation and may even reverse the degenerative process in some dogs. It does this by nourishing the cartilage and increasing viscosity of the synovial fluid - the joint's lubricating system - thereby reducing friction and pain. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfates attract fluid into the joint's cartilage system and help the body repair damaged joints while keeping the cartilage-destroying enzymes under control - equal or better results than anti-inflammatory drugs. Mucopolysaccarides are being prescribed increasingly by conventional as well as holistic veterinarians. In tablet form of 50 mg. - 100 tablets can be extremely expensive.
Along this line - FLINT RIVER RANCH has been active in research on a natural source of Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine - that stimulates the immune system and acts as an angiogensis inhibitor - which may help improve joint flexibility and increase mobility and support of healthy joints.
SUMMARY OF TREAT STUDY - Started in Aug. 1998
Number of dogs clinically diagnosed: 16
Number of control dogs (normal): 4
Statistics:
12 out of 16 showed improvement as diagnosed by veterinarian
14 out of 16 owners reported improvement
1 dog diagnosed with no significant improvement in condition.
One 14 year old diagnosed with 5 collapsed discs - condition significantly improved as diagnosed by veterinarian
One 11 year old, knee surgery cruciate ligaments; severe hip dysplastic; knee arthritis and not using leg. Was in product for 30 days, dog showed clinical improvement.
GAGs are in the form of a functional food rather than the traditional oral pill form. Jubilee GAG Wafers are natural dog treats (not a drug), so feeding in conjunction with arthritis medication prescribed by your veterinarian can be useful with no side effects. They are not a substitute for treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.
Arthritis stems from the degradation of the cartilage within a joint. Cartilage acting as a buffer between bones in a joint and breakdown of cartilage can reduce the efficiency of the functions of the joint. Mild arthritis is uncomfortable. Severe arthritis, which can progress to bone-on-bone contact if the cartilage damage is extensive, is very painful.
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis include:
Stiffness in moving joints - Favoring a limb
Difficulty in rising - Hesitancy to jump
Decreased activity level and lethargy
Diagnosing Osteoarthritis can be done by a veterinarian with a physical exam and validated with radiographs.
HIP DYSPLAYSIA
Malformation of the joints causing arthritis and painful joints
DISC DISEASE
Collapsed disc spaces and bony formations under the disc spaces causing back pain.
OSTEOARTHRITIS
Damaged cartilage occurs in knees or elbows, secondary to dislocating knee caps, torn ligaments within the knee, hereditary or congenital malformations of the knees, elbows or trauma.
GAGs should be part of a complete care program supervised by your veterinarian. There is no need to wait for the symptoms of arthritis to become pronounced to start using Jubilee Wafers healthy dog treats - it works as a great preventative. It can even be started in young dogs known to have a predisposition to hip, elbow, knee or shoulder dysplaysia in canines. Any dog that has experienced severe joint trauma will benefit.
