What makes up my dog's joints?

At it’s very foundation, a joint consists of two bone endings, a joint capsule, and thick, viscous joint fluid. The joint capsule is a membrane which keeps the joint fluid in place around the bone ending. Keep in mind that healthy joint fluid is like a thick syrup and is made up of components such as chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. If the synovial tissue of the joint capsule becomes inflamed, released degrading enzymes that break down the thickness of the joint fluid.

Directly protecting the bone endings is cartilage – a smooth, porcelain-like surface that contains nerve endings and allows uninhibited motion. When the cartilage breaks down and the surface becomes rough, joint movement can create a firing of nerve endings and your dog will experience pain.

When mechanical force continues to come into contact with a weakened joint, that normally thick joint fluid thins, leaving the cartilage less protected. This causes the cartilage to break down more quickly, and, in worse cases, fracture.

A healthy diet + a solid joint support supplement

A healthy diet will work wonders for our pet’s joints but there are also supplements that can assist in giving our dogs the joint-supporting nutrients they need to thrive!. A joint supplement that would best support your pet’s needs would include the following:

dog glucosamine structure: a joint support element in sound dog viscosity
Glucosamine
chondroitin structure: an element in sound dog viscosity joint support supplement
Chondroitin
msm structure: an element in our joint support formula sound dog viscosity
MSM
hyaluronic acid structure: an element for thickening joint fluid in dog joints
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
herbs to help relieve joint pain in dogs, sound dog viscosity
Joint-Supporting Herbs

Fact: Few dogs get enough glucosamine from their daily diet!

As carnivores, dogs would normally obtain joint fluids from the cartilage and bones of their prey, which would naturally promote joint health for the entirety of their lives.

When examining supplements to promote joint and musculoskeletal health in your pet, it is important to look for a product that not only includes moderate-term aids like glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid, but also incorporate short-term aids like MSM and herbs to keep the soft tissue healthy and inflammation down.

Not all joint supplements are created equal and there are presently no legal distinctions between the presence or a substance in a product and a therapeutic amount. It’s important to do the math and make sure your pup is getting a therapeutic level of active ingredients on the daily!

A high-quality joint supplement should be given every day to help your dog thrive!

What The Other Dogs Are Saying:
"Before starting the product I was noticing that Parker, my 8-year-old black lab, was starting to slow down a bit after her normal play session. I've only used the product for little over a month and I have already seen an improvement in her. She seems to have an easier time keeping up with my other dog along with an easier time getting up from the floor. I will be continuing to use Sound Dog with her!"
Anthony & Parker
"I have been feeding my 2 doxies Sound Dog Viscosity for years - the dogs love them and are doing very well. They are both younger (4 and 8 years respectively), but both have luxating patellas. I have been using this as an investment in their future health and well-being. Neither one is showing any signs of arthritis and they are both very mobile. I couldn't be happier with the results!"
Jim, Lou C, & Dezi
"Zoey is 13 years and 3 months old. Being a large dog there is a big concern about hips and joint care as labs get older. First off, What I've noticed since she's been taking Sound Dog is less lingering soreness in her legs after long walks. Zoey still has all the energy of a young playful lab despite her age. I plan on keeping her on the Viscosity treats for the rest of her life now."
Jared & Zoey

"Our English Bulldog, Baby Howard is 7 years young. Lots of people say that Bulldogs have a shorter lifespan of usually only 10 years. They also come with multiple health issues... joints, pulmonary, digestive, allergy, eye, etc....and we were on a mission to change that.

We started him on a raw diet from a puppy. We began researching supplements to compliment his healthy diet and were thrilled to find the Herbsmith line.

Baby Howard tore his ACL when he was 2 years old and required surgery. We added a joint supplement but never felt it was doing much for him. Since switching to Sound Dog Viscosity, he has become like a big Puppy Boy again. We are so grateful to have found something that makes a huge difference for him!"
Josephine & Baby Howard
