Osteoarthritis is a disease where pain and stiffness develop as a result of wear and tear on the joints.

Cartilage, which usually acts like a shock absorber in the joint, becomes damaged. This leads to inflammation and as the underlying bone is gradually affected, joints become very painful causing lameness.

These changes are not curable, but you can lessen the pain and inflammation associated with them to give your cat a better quality of life.

A large proportion of cats over 12 years are likely to have joint issues, however younger cats can also show symptoms.

With joint disease it’s best to intervene early for better outcomes. The good news is that there are many things you can do to help including

• Weight management

• Modifications in home

• Prescription medications

• Physical therapy or therapeutic exercise

• Joint supplements

To help, the best thing to do first is to book an examination with your vet clinic.

Cat-Pep™ for cats is a daily supplement, available in tasty palatable tablets, with a natural shellfish flavour. It is the natural way to aid in the promotion of mobility, enhance condition and wellbeing.

Cat-Pep™ contains five natural ingredients to optimise wellbeing and joint health which include

NZ Green-Lipped Mussel Extract

Taurine Cats cannot produce enough of this important amino acid and rely on their diet to satisfy their daily needs. Taurine is easily destroyed by heating and may be absent from processed foods.

Potassium Gluconate Potassium is an essential electrolyte which may become depleted in kidney disease.

Yeast Enhances appetite and provides a natural source of B vitamins which keep energy levels up and the coat shiny.

Thiamine / Vitamin B1 Although rare, thiamine deficiency can produce a nervous system disease in cats leading to seizures. Bomazeal™ Cat-Pep™ contains important B vitamins with a high level of thiamine (vitamin B1) to compensate for any dietary loss.
