A Natural & Healthy Way to Treat Your Dog

Jubilee Wafers can be mixed with the dog's regular food or given as a special treat. They should be part of a complete care program as a dietary supplement. Jubilee Wafer GAG's will benefit any dog that has experienced severe joint trauma. Best of all, nearly all dogs love these highly palatable biscuits. Even better - they are formulated to be a complete and balanced diet and not just for older dogs.

Chondroitin Sulfate (GAG) - A natural polymer of protein and disaccharides is composed of glucosamine, galactosamine and glucuronic acid - collectively, chondroitin 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.

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.

• Provides mechanism for nutrient absorption
• Helps to lubricate joints
• Anti-inflammatory effect on joints
• Regulates activity on cartilage
• Inhibits enzymes that break down cartilage

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 prescribed 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.

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 on bone contact if the cartilage damage is extensive, is very painful.

Symptoms 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.

HIP DYSPLASIA - Malformation of the joints causing arthritis and painful joints.

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.

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 - it works as a great preventative. It can even be started in young dogs known to have a predisposition to hip, elbow, knee or shoulder dysplasia in canines. Any dog that has experienced severed joint trauma will benefit.
