Pain Relief For Dogs – A Simple, Natural, Very Effective Supplement That Really Works!

We are getting more requests from clients lately for pain relief for dogs and other pets, so we decided to do an article on it for others. Although conditions like chronic body pain, joint and muscle inflammation and arthritis are traditionally associated with humans, our favorite furry companions can also experience the wrath of these diseases. In fact, chronic pain can affect dogs just as much as it can affect humans, especially as they get older.

As dogs age, they are less able to do the things that keep them healthy, such as run, jump, play, and exercise. We all know that exercise is important to everybody in order to keep the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues healthy, but what happens when your beloved canine friend can no longer do these things?

Studies have long shown that MSM is an amazing supplement that can not only help your dog move without pain, but can also help to increase energy, strength, and encourage the build of stronger, healthier muscle tissues. This article will tell you how a dosage of MSM (smaller than the human dosage, of course) can help your dog live a longer, pain-free life, and why MSM in the form of Organic Sulfur Crystals can be highly beneficial for your dog or really any pet.

A True Natural Anti-Inflammatory for Dogs:

First of all, let’s talk about how MSM works to relieve pain for dogs. MSM stands for Methyl Sulfonyl Methane, it’s an Organic Sulfur based mineral that is crucial to every living thing’s performance and well-being. It’s created by our bodies through the foods that we eat (or our dogs eat). MSM in its purest, crystalline form is known as Organic Sulfur, which is the only version we sell, because it is the purest form of MSM, and by far the most impactful and efficient form of MSM compared to powders or pills. It is also the highest sulfur content available to us in any food or supplement on the market, and when it’s in the pure crystalline form, the body (human or dog) is best able to absorb it.  Since you can’t get sulfur from anywhere but your diet, MSM is extremely important to anyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle.

When you have a diet rich in sulfur, you will find that the tissues in the body will move with ease. There is increased flexibility, stronger connective tissue, and an increase in production of new, healthy cells, allowing for the body to rid itself of harmful toxins more efficiently. MSM is also very effective as an anti-inflammatory and quickly, and naturally helps to decrease the terrible pain and swelling in any muscles and joints associated with chronic conditions or diseases such as Arthritis. It’s a natural, safe way to make the body pain-free, reduce toxicity, increase oxygen and blood flow and so much more! The benefits of MSM are just incredible.

Unfortunately, for humans and dogs, we are in the midst of a silent epidemic, where our soil, which is responsible for passing sulfur into our food and our pet’s food, has been completely depleted do to the overuse of commercial farming techniques and chemical based fertilizers, as well as over-processing. Today less than 70 years after mandating these farming methods, there has been such a drastic drop in the level of sulfur in our soul that the foods we eat, that it can no longer be a reliable source of this critical mineral. Even the US Department of Agriculture has confirmed the shocking reduction in our soil’s mineral and nutrient content.

In addition to this, the rise in GMO foods has caused the problem to worsen. Since genetic modification and chemical sprays were introduced to our crops, there has been a staggering rise in disease, so many that it is has become difficult to count (Cancer, Diabetes, Parkinson’s Disease, and even Autism are only a few examples of this rising disease trend). This is even worse for our pets, dogs in particular. If you think about the standard, and even premium dog kibble its nothing but a collection of dried grains and powders baked into a pebble with limited nutritional impact and nothing that is truly alive. Here is a great image from Dogs Naturally Magazine showing what truly goes into the vast bulk of our dog foods. Yummy!

Arthritis Pain Relief For Dogs And So Much More

Giving your pet MSM is not a new idea. In fact, it’s been given to racehorses before races to prevent soreness in the muscles and decrease the risk of cramping afterwards (2) for decades. If given to your dog in their food, or added into a treat,  you will find a drastic improvement (especially if your poor pooch is suffering from something like Arthritis).

Similar to humans, but way worse, dogs are simply not getting enough of the correct minerals that they need to be healthy, pain, and inflammation free and happy (especially sulfur). Commercial dog food brands that you find in the stores are truly the “fast food” of the dog world as they are highly processed and essentially the equivalent of feeding your dog a fast food burger and fries daily for life. It’s been discovered that dogs and humans share roughly 75% of the exact same genetic make up (3), so it goes without saying that our nutritional needs are fairly similar.

A lot of the health and nutritional benefits that dog food companies claim are often entirely false (eg: a “balanced” diet for your dog is not always going to mean the same thing as having the “best” diet for your dog). Simply put, vets and dog food manufacturing companies are for profit first and the rest comes later.

This is especially important as they age and their bodies’ cells don’t reproduce as quickly as they used to. The passage of time can leave them susceptible very susceptible to muscle soreness, joint and bone issues, and tissue damage. Not receiving the proper nutrition certainly makes matters worse.

When MSM is introduced to a dog’s food, treats or water on a daily basis, you will find that they will experience the exact same benefits that a human would. Increased energy, stronger bones and teeth, better joints, increased cellular repair, and as a bonus,  a shinier and healthier coat are a list of most of the benefits that will occur when introducing Organic Sulfur to your dog’s diet.

When you add all of these things together, you will find that the sum is this: your dog will FEEL better. When experiencing chronic pain, inflammation and poor energy, it can be difficult for them to experience the things that they used to enjoy. With stronger tissues and better joints from their daily doses of MSM, they will experience a vigor that will not only be free of pain, but will also put them on track for a healthier, longer life.

Our product will help ensure that your dog, and family member  is getting the proper level of sulfur in their diet to feel their best. Again our crystals are 99.9% pure, so it’s the best in terms of bio absorption, with no additives, fillers or binders.  We may be a little biased here, but we really do LOVE our product.

The bottom line here is that regardless of which product you choose, do your beloved pet a favor and start them on MSM, they will love you even more for that.

How To Give Your Dog MSM:

Since sulfur passes through the system  within a 12 hour period, it is important to give your dog two doses per day, whenever you feed them (morning and evening around breakfast and dinner are optimal). My little tip, is to take a slice of a cold-cut like a nitriate free ham, and ‘wrap’ our sulfur cyrtsals in that so its easy to give to your dog, and easy for them to take.  Of course, your dog won’t need quite as much as you would, so for smaller dogs use a 1/5 of a teaspoon or 1000 MG per serving. For larger dogs use up to a 1/2 teaspoon or 2500 MG of MSM crystals. Have access to lots of clean water, and watch the results!

Since most people feel the benefits of the Organic Sulfur crystal within days, you can expect to see the same change with your dog. Within a week, you may find that you have a totally different pooch! Dogs that suffer from chronic pain often experience the best benefits from this dosage.

When you care for your pet, any discomfort they go through can be a heart breaking thing. With the help of Organic Sulfur crystals and a couple of doses a day, you can put your mind at ease and know that your dog is living the most comfortable life possible.

Living an optimally healthy life shouldn’t be a privilege limited to humans. The door should be open for animals as well, especially your canine companion. MSM gives you the perfect chance to really show your dog how much you love them by extending the quality and length of their life. It’s a gift that your furry friend will thank you for!
