Osteoarthritis is a common condition affecting German Shepherds' joints and other breeds of dogs. It causes pain, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. Unfortunately, German Shepherds have a high risk of developing osteoarthritis, with 35.6% of the dogs in a study having the condition in at least one joint. While there is no cure, treatment options are available to manage the pain and improve mobility. One such option is UC-II®, a natural supplement that has been shown to support joint health and reduce pain and inflammation in dogs with osteoarthritis.
