In this Q&A, Cath from McDowells Herbal explains why mobility issues develop and how herbal and lifestyle support can help dogs move with comfort and confidence.\n\nWhy does stiffness occur?\nIn older dogs, joint degeneration is extremely common: osteoarthritis alone affects over 90% of dogs over 5\u202fyears old, causing pain, reduced range of motion, and decreased activity \nCold and damp weather can further worsen stiffness\u2014cold temperatures thicken synovial fluid and reduce blood flow to joints, making movement more difficult \n\nIn younger dogs, particularly those lacking proper early-life nutrition like raw bones or those with inappropriate early exercise, connective tissues and joint mechanics may be compromised, increasing the risk of injury and early arthritis \ntailschirocare.com\n.\n\nIn this video, Cath covers:\n\u2705Common causes of reduced mobility: arthritis, spondylosis, hip dysplasia, Degenerative Myelopathy, and past injury\n\u2705How nutrition influences joint strength\u2014from omega\u20113 anti-inflammatory fats to glucosamine, chondroitin, and antioxidant-rich diets that support cartilage, connective tissue, and immune balance.\n\u2705Lifestyle strategies: low-impact exercise like walking or swimming, weight control, environmental adaptations (e.g. ramps, padding), and indoor enrichment to maintain range of motion.\n\nAt McDowells Herbal, our Mobility Program combines evidence-informed herbal formulas, nutritional guidance, and movement strategies tailored to each dog's individual needs\u2014whether they\u2019re experiencing age-related wear, past injuries, or early-life imbalances.\nhttps:\/\/shop.mcdowellsherbal.com\/animal-botanical-mobility.html\n\nWant tailored support for your dog\u2019s mobility?\n?

In this video, Cath from McDowells Herbal answers common questions about MMM\u2014its causes, symptoms, and the natural approaches that can complement veterinary care to support recovery.\n\nWhat is MMM?\nMMM occurs when the immune system mistakenly targets the muscle fibres responsible for opening and closing the jaw. This attack leads to severe inflammation, pain, and muscle wasting. Over time, scar tissue can form, restricting jaw movement and making it difficult, or even impossible, for the dog to eat. Early diagnosis is critical because the condition can progress quickly without treatment.\n\nIn this video, you\u2019ll discover:\n\n\u2705The early warning signs of MMM, such as jaw pain, swelling, difficulty opening the mouth, drooling, and reduced appetite.\n\u2705The link between autoimmune disorders and immune system imbalances in dogs.\n\u2705How conventional treatments, such as corticosteroids, aim to reduce inflammation and preserve muscle function.\n\u2705Holistic support options, including herbal anti-inflammatories, immune-balancing remedies, and nutritional programs that encourage healing and reduce the risk of relapses.\n\nAt McDowells Herbal, we specialise in creating tailored herbal programs that work alongside veterinary treatment, focusing on reducing inflammation, supporting muscle health, and helping restore overall vitality.\nhttps:\/\/shop.mcdowellsherbal.com\/masticatory-muscle-myositis-progam.html\n\nWant to learn more about natural support for MMM?\n?

In this product-focused Q&A, Cath McDowell dives deep into the benefits of Equical, a carefully formulated supplement that supports optimal skeletal development and maintenance in horses of all ages.\n\nWhy Equical matters:\nEquical combines organic, chelated calcium sources with nutrient-dense botanicals like kale (rich in Vitamins\u202fA and\u202fK), celery seed, nettle, rosemary, aloe vera, and kelp - all selected for their roles in promoting bone density, reducing inflammation, and supporting digestion.\n\nWhat the research shows:\nNearly 99% of the horse\u2019s total calcium resides in bones and teeth, and maintaining a dietary ratio of 1.5\u20132:1 calcium to phosphorus is crucial for absorption and bone health. Imbalances\u2014particularly low calcium or excessive phosphorus - can lead to bone demineralisation, lameness, or even Big Head syndrome \nEquical\u2019s organic formulation promotes superior absorption and helps preserve skeletal integrity in horses grazing high-oxalate pastures or consuming grain-heavy diets \nstanceknowledge.com\n.\nIn this video, you\u2019ll learn:\n\u2705How Equical supports bone health and prevents conditions like osteoporosis and facial bone swelling (Big Head)\n\u2705The importance of balanced Ca:P ratios and why bioavailability matters\n\u2705Why kale and other herbal ingredients enhance calcium uptake and digestive support\n\u2705Recommended usage guidelines, including loading and maintenance doses for horses at risk of calcium deficiency\n\nAt McDowells Herbal, we believe in combining evidence-based mineral science with holistic herbal wisdom to support long-term equine wellness.\n\nCurious how Equical can benefit your horse?\n?
