Keeping older dogs feeling young

Post by JSmith »

Does anyone know of any good muscle and joint supplements? The dogs do their part so I would like to help them with aches and pains. Thanks for any recommendations.

Cosequin is an awesome product if you can afford it. If not the above mentioned is a great idea and there are several other horse supplements that will help them out also.

I purchased some arthritis/joint pills from Walmart. They were for people but just cut them down. If you compare the bottles it's pretty much the same stuff. My old dog could not hardly walk after a hard days run but this stuff had him jumping on the kennel gate in no time at all. The best part is its a lot cheaper! I'm sure any of it would work as long as it a pill you can cut down but if I still have the old bottle I will post the name of it later. Hope this helps
