(Omaha, Nebraska, April 2008)—Meridian Animal Health, a new Omaha-based companion animal health company, introduces BoviCart MSM™, a natural alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that supports joint health in dogs of all ages. Available exclusively through veterinarians, these beef-flavored chewable cubes are easy to administer and can be given once a day to dogs regardless of size.
The principal component of BoviCart MSM is a complete glycosaminoglycan (GAG) matrix consisting of chondroitin sulfate and naturally occurring Type II collagen, an essential structural protein in cartilage. BoviCart MSM also contains methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a naturally occurring organic sulfur compound, which helps maintain healthy fluid pressure of soft tissue and reduces pain.
According to Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing at Meridian Animal Health, BoviCart MSM has been proven to reduce the symptoms of the osteoarthritis in approximately 85 percent of dogs who were given the product.
“Millions of dogs in the U.S. suffer from joint problems and we are proud to offer veterinarians and their clients this natural solution to help provide fast pain relief to animals,” Stichler says.
