By: DK-Publishers Home | Health-and-Fitness


Many American Pit Bull Terriers with hip dysplasia develop osteoarthritis, or degenerative bone disease. The symptoms of these ailments have been proven to lessen when glucosamine is added to the diet. Cartilage maintenance and the production of synovial fluid are augmented when glucosamine is included in the diet of the American Pit Bull Terrier. The joints are lubricated by synovial fluid to keep them functioning with ease. Adding glucosamine to your American Pit Bull Terrier's diet will help keep its joints working at their best for many years.

Shellfish is a natural source of glucosamine. A particular fermentation process of corn produces a vegetable base glucosamine. This can be beneficial if your American Pit Bull Terrier is allergic to shellfish.
