Aging cats frequently experience joints that become inflamed (swollen) and painful as the cartilage and connective tissues of his joints slowly break down. Warning signs that your feline is suffering from arthritis can start with just a reluctance to stand up or climb stairs.
Other telltale signs of feline arthritis include:
- Your cat favors one side of his body
- Limping, especially when he first gets up
- Swollen joints (especially the hips)
- Reduced appetite
- Aversion to being touched or petted
- Hiding and avoiding attention
Overweight cats tend to suffer from arthritis more often than smaller breeds. This is most likely attributable to the extra body weight putting additional stress on the joints.
There is no way to entirely eliminate the risk of feline arthritis. But as a pet owner, you can reduce the risk by ensuring your cat gets plenty of regular exercise, without overdoing it. This will help keep your cat's joints healthy and well lubricated. It will also keep him from becoming overweight, which tends to make matters worse. Ease your kitty’s mobility with a natural supplement to increase the natural lubrication and reduce inflammation of the joints.
What is Agile Joints?
Agile Joints was formulated to address mobility and help maintain a normal range of motion in feline joints. Older pets in particular may benefit from extra support, but our pet friends at any age may need to require additional support for joints and connective tissue.

The joints of the body are made up of the bones of the joint, cartilage that covers the ends of the bones, ligaments and a joint capsule that contains synovial fluid. This fluid works to lubricate the joint and works as a shock absorber when your pet walks, jumps and plays. All of these components need to be comfortable and working smoothly for the healthy function of the joint. Additionally, normal circulation into these areas helps to transport nutrients in remove waste products.
Commonly used for shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, elbows, and vertebrae. Agile Joints nourishes the components of the joint tissue by supporting the underlying normal physiology. This proprietary blend of herbs works effectively to support the physiology of the joint tissues in all feline sizes and breeds.
