STRIDE Powder 150g

Stride PLUS helps joint pain and muscle heal and repair.
The joint is where two or more bones meet. Each bone end is protected 
with a layer of cartilage; the entire joint is enclosed in the synovial capsule 
which is filled with synovial fluid. Bones provide a frame to support the 
body and protect the organs, muscles and blood vessels.
The Cartilage Matrix
The cartilage matrix is composed of collagen fibres and chondrocytes. 
Chondrocytes produce and maintain proteoglycans which are made up of 
proteins and Glycosaminoglycan (GAG chains).

Impaired function of skeletal joints can dramatically reduce joint flexion,
movement and mobility. This seriously decreases a dogs life quality 
with affected animals exhibiting decreased activity levels, stiffness and 
inability to partake in walks or play. 
Predisposing factors can be:
• Congenital 
Certain breeds may also have a genetic predisposition towards 
skeletal joint diseases. Surveys have found 9.4% of Retrievers 
were affected by Hip Dysplasia (FCRSA Health Survey) while the cumulative 
hazard rate for cCHD in Boxers from 7 weeks to 8 years of age is 
8.5% (Van Hagen et al.)
• Developmental (Osteochondrosis and Hip Dysplasia) 
Developmental problems will typically occur during periods of 
rapid growth between 3 and 9 months of age.
• Traumatic (fractures and dislocations).
