Get Glucosamine and chondroitin. I have big dogs so I give them the adult dose. My oldies have been on it for years and it does help but takes about 6 weeks to kick in.

Under the supervision and guidance of your vet is the best way to give them what they need. I would always seek the advice of your veterinarian before starting any medications for your dogs.

She was 16 when she passed, and up until the last few weeks she was running and playing with our younger dogs. It's completely natural, it does contain glucosamine among other nutrients, and you're dog doesn't even know it's taking medicine.

I give my 11 year old dog a good diet first and foremost. I used to feed pedigree and purina until I found out how bad that was for them. Switched to innova, a year later to raw feeding and I will never go back to kibble again. Raw has worked wonders for my three, especially my two senior dogs. The lab mix has bad back legs and we will supplement her diet occassionally with glucosamine. Exercise helps too. Just follow the bottle for weight. Yes that is true.

Google "glucosamine dog food". If you want to give it as a supplement about 1 gram per 40 lbs. I would advise consulting your vet but in my experience most the time that no results are observed is because the dosage is too low. There are some dog foods out there with glucosamine in it.

My friend used them for about 5 years and her dog died at 17 1/2 yrs old. The dosage is about half that of a human for a medium size dog. Cod liver oil or primrose oil is also good (recommended by my Vet for my elderly (now deceased) dog. Also half the adult dose, and some exercise every day and watching a dog's weight is also important, as overweight puts more strain on the joints.

She walks on 3 legs a lot, because of her hips. I recently found one, and she has been walking on all 4 legs after about a week on it. I'm thrilled with the results so far, she has been on it for about a month, and is much more comfortable. Check out: http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/results.php?category=7 I'm feeding the Phyto Flex. I'm going to start a few of my older dogs on it, after seeing the improvements of my handicap dog.
