luckypup Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 hi there, thought i would ask a question about Joint Guard and Sashas blend. My friend has a Nova Scotia that has severe joint issues. I suggested one of these 2 and she asked if they are low in protein, as his liver cant convert it. I have no idea, but thought i would ask dol'ers who may use it or know more about the products. Are they low in protein? which one would help most without his body needing to help much? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 She should check with her Vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Archie~ Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Perhaps call the company that makes it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Fox Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Okay, reading off the back of the Sashas Blend container: Typical analysis per 2 grams Composition: Crude protein 1.29g Don't know if that helps at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah8 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 im pretty sure they are really rich cause they have lots of omega 3s and fish oils and things- might not be a good idea. my beagle JJ had a course of zydax injections for her arthritis, they really helped. maybe that would be better? because its an injection, she wouldn't have to digest it? JJ responded really well.. maybe ask her vet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Archie~ Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Joint Guard doesn't have Omega 3's in it. I would assume it's low protein because it's so purified, perhaps call Nature Vet and confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
