Help You’re Pet Grow Old Comfortably
After many years of being a veterinarian one of the saddest things we see is joint discomfort / pain, removing many potentially happy years from your much-loved pet, cat, dog or horse etc. After many years these pets are an integral part of the family and we all want them to be as happy and comfortable as we possibly can.
The fact is pets that remain active live longer. And nothing will slow down your pet like stiff, aching joints and obesity. Regrettably, many owners miss the signs of reduced joint mobility because cats and dogs will often conceal their discomfort and distress for as long as they’re able to. This is especially prevalent in cats who are the masters of disguise (we are bringing our new Cat Joint Supplement FLEXICAT out shortly to help these individuals)
Sadly, this problem is becoming more prevalent. Diagnosed degenerative joint disease (DJD) has increased @ 38% in dogs and 67% in cats since 2007, according to one national study. Many of our, veterinarian prescribed drugs for joint suffering are essentially pain killers, and they simply mask symptoms instead of helping to at least try to solve the problem. We wanted to develop something that would help slow down disease progression if possible.
The good news is we think we HAVE..
7 Signs Your Pet Is Suffering From Joint Problems
- A reluctance to jump, run or climb up inclines or stairs
- Reduced range of motion in many joints
- Your pet no longer wanting to play or take part in many activities he or she previously enjoyed, eg long walks, games with a ball in the garden etc
- Stiffness or painful swelling of joints
- Weight gain due to boredom, over eating and a reduced activity.
- Your dog or cat has problems sitting or standing
- Obvious limping or lameness and selecting to use one limb over others
New Natural Alternatives Can Help Keep Your Pets Healthy and Active for YearsMy name is Paul Proctor and I am a veterinarian of over 30 years experience. Some 3 years ago together with my partner Sarah we decided to set up a small new Business called Simply Pets Online. The whole ethos of this business was to help our clients pets live the very best life they possibly could. To be Healthy Happy Pets, free of as much pain and discomfort as we could possibly remove, using our extensive experience of pet practice through many years.

The whole ethos of this business was to help our clients pets live the very best life they possibly could. To be Healthy Happy Pets, free of as much pain and discomfort as we could possibly remove, using our extensive experience of pet practice through many years.
We started to develop a small premium range of Pet Health Products, that would we hope be the very best in their fields, as practicing veterinarians we have a very strong moral code and wanted to try and develop wonderful products that used the best, ingredients, technology and where available science. All the products had to also be good value for money, so the return on investment in your pets leading a healthier, happy more mobile life was obvious.
All products also come with a 100% no quibbles Guarantee as to quality and can be easily returned.
One of our first products to come to market after over 12 months of testing is FLEXIDOG a canine Joint Supplement.
After over 30 years in veterinary practice, we certainly know what works in most cases and what does not!! Remember no nutraceutical will work in all cases, there is just too much biological variation. However, we researched the amazing benefits of some advanced nutritional supplements that are actually starting to be backed up by scientific evidence and used these ingredients in special concentrations to develop Flexidog. We think this is at least as good as any other canine joint supplement on the market today, and in many cases is a LOT better. We use pharmaceutical grade, natural ingredients and every single one has been proven to be the best of class in the many studies that are available. The skill is then combining these ingredients into the final product.
And guess what research is now starting to prove that what is happening in human nutritional research…
The Correct Nutrients In the Correct Amounts Can Work Wonders for many Dogs and Cats, Too
The more Sarah and I have learned about dog and cat nutrition, the more we have found that extra support in many cases is advantageous, particularly in the area of joint health and well-being. It would seem that in many large dogs the beneficial effects are more profound that in many of the smaller breeds. In practice we used to see many large eg Labradors with severe joint dysfunction / arthritis compared to eg poodles or terriers. Genetic factors will also have a role to play here.
However it is important to keep this in perspective as it is true that big breed dogs are more likely to get some signs of Degenerative Joint Disease based on our findings in practice they are not the only ones. Smaller pets can are also susceptible to joint issues, in fact some Chihuahuas and cats are classic examples.
The fact is practically any type of cat and dog as they age can develop painful joints, and particularly if they’re heavy. Even mild obesity is a huge risk factor for joint pain as it is in humans.
As our pet population is growing older ( often due to modern medical advances helping all of us live longer ) and heavier like our human population more of them are developing and showing signs of reduced joint mobility, pain and discomfort. The typical arthritic dog.
So remember that it is never late to start taking care of your pet’s joints. Cats and dogs of all weights and all ages can significantly take advantage of extra, targeted nutrition for healthy joints.
Combining a high-quality nutraceutical preparation, strict weight control plus an exercise program is in our experience essential in many cases to provide maximum health and wellbeing as your pet ages.
It is also true that many of us pet owners should take the same medicine. Good nutrition, a good joint supplement as we get older, watch our weight and exercise as much as we can!
