Much like in humans, chronic inflammation is a problem that can lead to health complications in our furry, four-legged counterparts. Although inflammatory immune responses are normal, chronic inflammation is not, and mitigating it starting when your pet is young may help them live a longer and more comfortable life.

When humans are in pain, we are able to communicate to others what hurts and how severe the pain is using our words. Unfortunately, our furry friends do not have this option. For this reason alone, it can be difficult to know if and when your cat is experiencing pain.

If your dog is active or excitable, it is bound to get into a little bit of trouble from time to time. After running around outside, minor scrapes and cuts can occur quickly and easily. The biggest concern with scrapes and other wounds is infection, since bacteria or fungi can settle into the open skin and reproduce quickly. Therefore, if you find a cut on your pup, you’ll want to take care of it as quickly as you can.
