  As dogs age, the decline in mobility is a common physiological change. The incorporation of complementary feeds can be an effective strategy to support and preserve joint function and mobility, contributing to the maintenance of overall musculoskeletal health and comfort in geriatric dogs. Privately owned dogs aged over six years, exhibiting reduced mobility and no changes in their mobility management within the last three months, were recruited for this study. They were administered a chicken cartilage hydrolysate complementary feed containing a complex of glycosaminoglycans and type II collagen (Glycosane®, MP Labo, France) once daily for 56 days. Assessments were conducted at baseline (D0) and follow-up visits at D7, D28, and D56. Mobility, pain intensity, and pain interference were evaluated using a revised Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs (LOAD) scale and a Canine Brief Pain .. Read More»
