My eldest dog will be 11 this year and I have heard that glucosamine tablets that you get from the health food store can be beneficial in preventing and treating stiffness in the joints in dogs.

Does anyone have any experience with this and also what dosage would a medium sized dog take.

Chuckles is almost 12 and has slowed down in his senior years, but still active, and I know he would benefit some from getting Glucosamine/Chondroitin tablets.

A few people on here told me they use human glucosamine, (they didn’t say whether tablets or powder) and I found a good deal on the tablets at a local health food store. If I did use them, would I have to cut them in half? There are 900mg in a tablet, and the highest I’ve seen for dogs is 500mg. Thanks for any answers.

And if this is a question for a vet, I’ll ask him, but I wouldn’t get an answer ’till after the sale is gone.
He’s 85 pounds.
