MUSCULAR & JOINT ACHES & PAINS RUB FOR CATS & DOGS (50ml)

The rub is made from a blend of all-natural, vet-approved botanicals, including Arnica, Cedarwood, Ginger, Frankincense, and more. These ingredients are carefully selected for their therapeutic properties. There are no artificial chemicals, fillers, or harmful additives, making it a safe, non-toxic option for your pet when used as directed.

The Aches & Pains Rub uses a unique blend of seven botanicals that work synergistically to relieve pain and inflammation. Arnica targets inflammation and swelling, Cedarwood helps with muscle relaxation, and Frankincense supports joint mobility. Ginger improves circulation, while Peppermint and Boswellia bring additional soothing effects. The rub’s blend of oils amplifies the release of key chemicals during massage, including endorphins and serotonin, which reduce pain and calm anxiety. These ingredients work together synergistically to provide faster relief.

The Aches & Pains Rub can be safely used alongside most existing supplements or medications, as it offers a complementary, topical approach to pain relief and inflammation. This holistic approach offers a comprehensive strategy for managing your pet's discomfort.

Pain in pets can be hard to detect, but common signs include:

1. Behavioral Changes: A pet may become withdrawn, more aggressive, or less interested in interaction.
2. Limping or Stiffness: Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or moving normally can indicate joint pain or injury.
3. Appetite Loss: Decreased eating or refusal to eat can signal pain, particularly in dental or abdominal issues.
4. Vocalising or Whining: Whimpering, growling, or excessive vocalising when touched or moving is often a sign of discomfort.
5. Excessive Licking or Grooming: Pets may lick or chew at a painful spot in an attempt to relieve discomfort.
6. Panting or Increased Breathing: Rapid breathing or panting can occur when a pet is in pain, especially with conditions like arthritis or injuries.

The pain relief duration for dogs using the Aches & Pains Rub can vary based on factors such as the level of inflammation, pain thresholds, and the specific needs of the pet. Typically, once a week application is sufficient for maintaining comfort in pets with mild to moderate discomfort. However, for pets with higher pain levels or more severe inflammation—such as those with arthritis or chronic joint issues—the rub can be applied twice a week to provide more consistent relief.

The active ingredients in the rub, like Arnica, Cedarwood, and Ginger, work by reducing inflammation, promoting circulation, and providing natural pain relief. This can result in lasting comfort that helps pets move more freely and comfortably throughout the day. The exact duration of relief will depend on the pet's individual condition and pain threshold. Some pets may experience relief for several days, while others might need more frequent applications for ongoing support.

It's important to listen to your pet's needs. If their discomfort is more pronounced on certain days or during specific activities, additional applications may help. Regular use helps ensure your pet stays comfortable and supported. Always consult your veterinarian if you're unsure about the frequency or if your pet has any underlying conditions requiring special attention.

The Ginger in the rub enhances circulation, which helps to keep your pet warm and comfortable, especially for older pets or those with mobility issues. It can support your pet's temperature regulation during colder months by promoting warmth and comfort. As for Peppermint, while it has a cooling effect when applied topically, it does not counteract the warming effects of Ginger in this formulation. The cooling and warming properties can work synergistically, offering a balance that helps with pain relief, muscle relaxation, and overall comfort without conflicting effects. The Peppermint primarily helps to soothe muscles, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Together, the ingredients create a well-rounded effect that supports your pet through both temperature regulation and relief from aches and pains.
