I wanted to start Jack on the glucosamine just as a preventative. He had ACL surgery on one leg and now the other seems to be a little touchy. Where he is a big dog and almost 6, I thought it might do some good. The vet said that the pills could only help him so...

At lunch time, I bought a bottle of glucosamine sulfate pills at 1000 mg at WalMart. It was in the people section so I'm not sure if I bought the right thing and what to give Jack. I'm going to call my vet and see if that's the right thing. I have a feeling the mg might be too high, but then again I would rather give him the least amount of pills. He already takes enough as it is!! (Phenobarbital for seizures and Soloxine for thyroid)

Jack has been on a diet for a few months and has lost 16 pounds!! (Hopefully another thing that will help his leg situation!) I feed him Nutro Max Weight Control dry food mixed with a little bit of the Nutro Max canned. Thanks for the info!
