Nowadays, osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease with a high prevalence in pets. Predisposing factors such as age, breed, overweight, joint trauma/injuries, individual congenital abnormalities in dogs and cats, along with more advanced diagnostic methods used in veterinary clinics and owners’ increased awareness of this disease, justify the search for an innovative product that can effectively address the clinical signs associated with OA. Consequently, the absence of curative drug therapy combined with the high degree of debilitation that can affect the life quality of dogs and cats makes this disease a growing challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. The pursuit of natural ingredients that can make a difference in controlling pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis, while improving the quality of life of companion animals suffering from joint problems without compromising their overall long-term health, is of utmost importance to FEEL® ANIMAL WELFARE. This is where FEELCondro® Tablets and FEELCondro® Paste come into play. These two products combine the action of conventional ingredients such as Glucosamine Hydrochloride, Chondroitin Sulfate, and Native Type II Collagen with carefully selected Nature-derived ingredients like Boswellia Serrata and Curcuma Longa, which, in synergy, possess a potent anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways.
Controlling inflammation and pain is a determining factor in OA, which is also characterized by chronic neuropathic pain in advanced stages of the disease, leading to a decreased quality of life for the affected animal. In order to address neuropathic pain and thereby improve the animal’s quality of life, FEEL® ANIMAL WELFARE has incorporated another differentiating and innovative ingredient into FEELCondro®, Cannabis Sativa L. This ingredient has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and pain-relieving properties, enhancing the overall well-being of companion animals. The combination of innovation, sustainability, and concern for animal welfare, along with scientific rigor, makes FEELCondro® Tablets and FEELCondro® Paste crucial tools in managing cases of osteoarthritis in the daily clinical practice of the Veterinarian. FEELCondro® is available in 30 and 200 tablets as well as a 30 ml Paste.
