Redditch, Worcestershire -- (SBWire) -- 12/21/2011 --Making sure that pets are happy and healthy is a very important matter. Canine nutrition is the key to making sure that dogs remain healthy, and a healthy dog is a happy dog. With some dogs, keeping them happy and healthy is as simple as choosing the correct dog food, however, other dogs require extra care in order to remain in top condition.

Dogs come in all different shapes, sizes and breeds and it is important to take all of these factors into consideration when choosing the correct dog food. For instance, a smaller dog is extremely unlikely to be able to eat the same amount of food, or have the same nutritional needs, as a large dog. In addition to this, inadequate dog nutrition can lead to dogs feeling restless and lethargic, as well as causing dogs to become more prone to illnesses and infections.

There are a wide range of dog food brands available on the market, and many brands offer a selection of different foods that are tailored for specific dog sizes and breeds. Puppies also need different food, compared to more mature dogs, as they need the correct nutritional mix to grow properly and healthily. Some dog food manufacturers also produce food that is tailored for specific canine medical conditions, such as those tailored for dogs who are overweight. Online pet pharmacy, sell a wide range of branded dog foods for dogs of all shapes, breeds and sizes; including Royal Canin, Arden Grange, Bob Martin, Burns and Hills.

One of the most common occurrences when dogs will need extra nutritional care is if they develop arthritis. Years of running around, chasing balls – and in some cases even their own tails – can lead to joint pain and stiffness. If this is the case, then there are a range of treats and supplements to help ease both the associated pain and stiffness.

This is because it is believed that glucosamine can help to reduce inflammation and enhance the regeneration of bones. This makes it the ideal supplement for dogs with arthritis. Chondroitin is also commonly found in nutritional supplements for canine arthritis suffers, as it helps to keep cartilage healthy, as well as helping to block out the enzymes that can cause damage to the cartilage. Synoquin Tasty Tablets include both Glucosamine and Chondroitin to help maintain healthy joints.
