Vet Classics S.O.D. & Boswellia Joint Support Chewable Tablets for Dogs and Cats

For dogs and cats.

Product Description

S.O.D. & Boswellia is an antioxidant and joint support tablet built on two ingredients rather than the usual glucosamine blend. Superoxide dismutase is a naturally occurring antioxidant enzyme, and boswellia serrata is a resin extract with a long history of use for joint comfort in both human and veterinary supplements.

That makes it a different tool from a standard joint chew. It's a reasonable option for a pet already on a glucosamine product, for a cat where dosing options are limited, or for an owner looking for something without shellfish-derived ingredients.

Each 500 mg tablet supplies 1,500 IU of superoxide dismutase and 150 mg of boswellia serrata.

Active Ingredients (per 500 mg tablet)

Superoxide Dismutase (S.O.D.) — 1,500 IU
Boswellia Serrata — 150 mg

How to Use

Give daily by body weight, following the label or your veterinarian's direction.

Give it time. Joint and antioxidant supplements generally need six to eight weeks of consistent daily use before there's anything meaningful to judge.

Keep your pet lean and keep activity regular but moderate. Body weight is the single biggest thing an owner controls when it comes to joint comfort, and no supplement outperforms it.

Cautions

For dogs and cats. This is a nutritional supplement, not an FDA-approved drug, and not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

Tell your veterinarian about all supplements your pet receives, particularly if your pet is on an NSAID or other joint medication. Safe use in pregnant animals or animals intended for breeding has not been established. Stop use and consult your veterinarian if your pet's condition worsens or does not improve.

Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Talk to your veterinarian

Limping, stiffness that doesn't loosen up after a few minutes of movement, reluctance to jump or use stairs, or a pet who has stopped doing something it used to enjoy deserves an exam.

Cats are the harder case. They rarely limp visibly, and feline arthritis usually shows up as reduced jumping, sleeping in new low-down places, missing the litter box, or being grumpy about handling. It's badly underdiagnosed, and it's worth mentioning those changes to your vet rather than writing them off as aging.

Sudden lameness after activity in a dog can mean a torn cruciate ligament and needs to be looked at, not supplemented.
