Therefore, weight loss is the first step in providing&nbsp;natural&nbsp;pain relief, especially when your&nbsp;dog\u2019s joints&nbsp;have&nbsp;osteoarthritis&nbsp;or&nbsp;joint pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing your dog\u2019s ideal body weight and how to body condition score your dog will help you get them to an ideal weight if they are overweight. This is important because studies have shown that excess fat on your dog increases the pressure on your dog\u2018s joints and can lead to excess inflammation in their body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reducing excess weight has natural anti-inflammatory properties for your dog and can be done by increasing exercise, adding real food like steamed broccoli and leafy greens to your dog\u2019s food, and reducing excess treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the treats that can be beneficial for your dog\u2018s health and provides extra nutrients in a&nbsp;natural way&nbsp;is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/wholesome-pride-treats\/16-oz-pumpkin-strips.html\">Wholesome Pride Pumpkin Slices<\/a>. These single-ingredient natural treats help keep your dog full, help with weight loss, and aid in improving your overall dog health and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Pain&nbsp;Medications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dogpills.jpg\" alt=\"dog next to pills. is human medicine safe for dogs\" class=\"wp-image-14304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dogpills.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dogpills-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dogpills-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dogpills-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has joint pain, chronic pain, or is in need of pain relievers, your veterinarian (DVM) may recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/sharing-medicine-with-your-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">certain drugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&nbsp;(NSAIDs)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&nbsp;are the most common conventional&nbsp;pain relief&nbsp;for dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common drugs in this class of pain medications are Metacam, Rimadyl, Deramaxx, and carprofen. The human drug, Ibuprofen, is another NSAID pain management. However, Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and should not be used, even though this is a commonly used over-the-counter drug for people with arthritis pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common side effects seen with NSAIDs are gastric ulcers and possible liver and kidney disease. This class of drugs is COX-inhibitors which work by reducing the production of certain prostaglandins which are important for gut health. &nbsp;This is why dogs may experience these side effects when taking these types of pain medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Other conventional pain medications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Tramadol&nbsp;and&nbsp;gabapentin&nbsp;are two other common&nbsp;pain medications&nbsp;that your veterinarian may prescribe for your dog. There is a lower risk of&nbsp;toxicity&nbsp;with these medications. However, numerous studies have shown that&nbsp;tramadol&nbsp;is not a very effective&nbsp;pain reliever&nbsp;for dogs and should not be the only medication used in your dog\u2019s&nbsp;pain management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of these&nbsp;side effects,&nbsp;natural&nbsp;pain relievers&nbsp;and&nbsp;natural anti-inflammatory&nbsp;supplements should be an important part of your dog\u2019s&nbsp;natural&nbsp;pain relief&nbsp;plan to provide comfort and minimize adverse&nbsp;side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Top&nbsp;Natural&nbsp;Pain Relief&nbsp;Supplements for Dogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Planet-Dog_Planet-Ball_Beach.jpg\" alt=\"dog playing on the beach\" class=\"wp-image-15970\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Joint supplements are important to support joint health and reduce inflammation that may be occurring in your dog\u2019s body, especially as they age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few of our top&nbsp;natural&nbsp;pain relievers&nbsp;for your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Glucosamine&nbsp;Chondroitin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy to give&nbsp;joint supplement&nbsp;is&nbsp;glucosamine&nbsp;chondroitin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an older dog, osteoarthritis is a common cause of pain. Cartilage in the joints can degrade as your dog ages, leading to inflammation and pain. This thin layer of cartilage in the joint is what produces the joint fluid that provides cushioning in the joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glucosamine&nbsp;chondroitin&nbsp;supplements provide support to the cartilage through glycosaminoglycans which provide&nbsp;natural&nbsp;anti-inflammatory&nbsp;properties&nbsp;and&nbsp;pain relief&nbsp;to help your&nbsp;dog\u2019s joints&nbsp;feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Fish Oil &amp; Green-Lipped Mussels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omega-3.jpg\" alt=\"omega 3 fish oil\" class=\"wp-image-16019\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another popular&nbsp;joint supplement&nbsp;is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thenaturalpetdoctor.com\/omega-3-for-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fish oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet owners&nbsp;have been using&nbsp;fish oil&nbsp;for decades due to its excellent&nbsp;pain relief&nbsp;for dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fish oil is a great source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. The fatty acids in fish oil are mainly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These types of fatty acids help with controlling inflammation in the body and promote nerve\/brain development and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good source of omega-3 essential fatty acids is green-lipped mussels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Green-lipped mussels are better than&nbsp;fish oil, because they have over 90 different types of omega-3 essential fatty acids rather than just DHA and EPA, but they also provide a natural source of&nbsp;chondroitin&nbsp;to support cartilage health in the joints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Numerous studies have shown that green-lipped mussels provide natural pain relief, are a natural anti-inflammatory supplement, and can improve your dog\u2019s quality of life. They are also an ocean-friendly source of omega-3\u2019s and do not accumulate heavy metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Curcumin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tumeric-golden-paste.jpg\" alt=\"tumeric for dogs\" class=\"wp-image-16016\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To replace or reduce conventional pain medications when our dogs are painful, it\u2019s important to find plants, herbs, and foods that are naturally anti-inflammatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curcumin&nbsp;is a great one to add to your&nbsp;dog\u2019s food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from the Indian spice turmeric, curcumin is an active ingredient that has natural anti-inflammatory properties and many other positive effects in the body, such as reducing your pet\u2019s risk of cancer due to its cancer-fighting properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many&nbsp;dog owners&nbsp;will grate&nbsp;turmeric&nbsp;root into their dog\u2019s food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But an easy way to use turmeric more effectively&nbsp;is to make golden paste, which is&nbsp;turmeric&nbsp;powder mixed with <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/health-wellness\/coconut-oil-for-dogs\">coconut oil<\/a> and a little black pepper to increase absorption. Studies have shown that fats and piperine in black pepper increase the absorption of&nbsp;curcumin&nbsp;by up to 2,000%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Golden Paste Recipe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>1\/2 cup organic&nbsp;turmeric&nbsp;powder<\/li><li>1 cup filtered water<\/li><li>1 1\/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper<\/li><li>1\/4 cup organic MCT oil or coconut oil<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Mix the&nbsp;turmeric&nbsp;with 1 cup of water in a pan. Save the remaining water in case you need it to thin your paste a bit.<\/li><li>Stir the liquid on low heat for about 7 to 10 minutes. It should form a thick paste at this time.<\/li><li>If the paste gets too thick, add more water.<\/li><li>If the paste is too liquidy, add a little more&nbsp;turmeric&nbsp;and heat it for another couple of minutes.<\/li><li>Once your paste has thickened, add the pepper and oil and stir thoroughly.<\/li><li>Allow the mixture to cool.<\/li><li>Place it in a jar with a lid and store it in the fridge. It\u2019ll keep for up to 2 weeks.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3011108\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studies show<\/a> that turmeric performs as well as traditional NSAIDs like Ibuprofen in humans, helping significantly with knee pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your dog ages, oxidative stress increases which cause inflammation and cells to break down, leading to pain, osteoarthritis, and even diseases like cancer. Turmeric is an amazing antioxidant that slows down these degenerative processes as your dog ages and can help repair the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your dog has arthritis pain, start adding in turmeric golden paste for your dog and see how they do. However, turmeric is a warming spice, so if you notice your dog seems hotter, then discontinue and try the other natural supplements mentioned here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>CBD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dog-oil.jpg\" alt=\"natural pain relief for dogs\" class=\"wp-image-16017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dog-oil.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dog-oil-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dog-oil-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dog-oil-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Using&nbsp;Cannabidiol, or CBD, with your dog can help naturally reduce inflammation, control pain, and even support optimal gut health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CBD oil&nbsp;is the non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant and is becoming very popular amongst&nbsp;pet parents&nbsp;for its numerous beneficial properties ranging from pain control, seizure control, reducing anxiety to even helping with cancer treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THC is the psychoactive component that gives people a high but can also make your dog sick and even comatose if they get into cannabis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every mammal has an endocannabinoid system, and it\u2019s these receptors that the CBD molecules will bind to. You can learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/thenaturalpetdoctor.com\/cbd-and-pets-is-cbd-harmful-for-my-pets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBD and pets<\/a> on my website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For CBD to be labeled as such, it must have less than 0.3% THC in it, making it much safer and easier to give to your dog without adverse effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, CBD is still illegal at a federal level, which can make it tricky for your veterinarian to discuss this plant with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u2019s especially important to ask your vet about&nbsp;CBD oil&nbsp;if your pet is on any medication. CBD is processed through a specific CYP450 pathway in the liver, and certain drugs are also metabolized through this pathway, which can affect how long they stay in your&nbsp;dog\u2019s body. Because of this process, there may be an increased risk of adverse&nbsp;side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always start with small doses, make sure you\u2019re using quality&nbsp;CBD oil&nbsp;products that have a valid certificate of analysis, and talk to your veterinarian or a holistic vet about the best dosage and way to use CBD with your dogs. There are many different options out there, so make sure you\u2019re not throwing money away on a useless or even harmful&nbsp;CBD oil&nbsp;product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Acupuncture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-16020\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screen-Shot-2021-07-26-at-1.32.18-PM-e1627320861731.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16020\"\/><figcaption>Mark Hillary from Serra Negra, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil, CC BY 2.0 via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there\u2019s&nbsp;acupuncture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acupuncture must be performed by a certified veterinary acupuncturist, but it\u2019s worth looking into if your dog is in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ancient modality has been around for hundreds of years and works through the placement of small needles in specific points all over the body.
