Jubilee GAG Wafers are specifically formulated for dogs. These wafers are food products that may function to inhibit cartilage degradation by helping to stimulate the body’s ability to produce more GAG’s. The cartilage make up of our formulation may help with the hydration of joints because of their polyanionic characteristics- thus the lubrication needed in joints for proper function.

GAG’s are in the form of a functional food rather than the traditional oral pill form. Jubilee GAG wafers are natural (not a drug), so feeding in conjunction with arthritis medication by your veterinarian can be useful with no side effects. They are not a substitute for treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine discomfort.

DISC DISEASE - Collapsed disc spaces and bony formations under the disc spaces causing back pain.

OSTEOARTHRITIS - knees or elbows - damaged cartilage occurs in these joints secondary to dislocating knee caps, torn ligaments within the knee, hereditary or congenital malformations of the knees, elbows or trauma.

Chondroitin Sulfate - A natural polymer of protein and disaccharides - is composed of glucosamine, galactosamine and glucuronic acid collectively, chondrotin sulfates make up a major portion of the GAG’s (glycosaminoglycans) in cartilage.
Glucosamine - a precursor of hyaluronic acid and other GAG’s - helps with cartilage repair.
Hyaluronic Acid - a principal component of cartilage and helps with inflammation and discomfort.

Arthritis stems from the degradation of the cartilage within a joint. Cartilage acts as a buffer between bones in a joint and breakdown of cartilage can reduce the efficiency of the functions of the joint. Mild arthritis is uncomfortable. Severe arthritis, which can progress to bone contact if the cartilage damage is extensive, is very painful.

Symptom of Osteoarthritis include:

• Stiffness in moving joints - Favoring a limb

• Difficulty in rising - Hesitancy to jump

• Decreased activity level and lethargy

Diagnosing Osteoarthritis can be done by a veterinarian with a physical exam and validated with radiographs.

GAG’s should be a part of a complete care program supervised by your veterinarian. There is no need to wait for the symptoms of Arthritis to become pronounced to start using Jubilee Wafers because it works as a great preventative. It can even be started in young dogs known to have a predisposition to canine hip, elbow, knee or shoulder dysphasia. Any dog that has experienced severe joint trauma will benefit.
