Hi! I have been giving my dogs Glucosamine and Chondrotitin
for years now. Some senior dog foods have it in the food already.
I buy the supplement at Walmart it is cheaper then going through the
pet stores and magazines. I give my 82 pound german shepherd 1000 mg a day of Glucosamine, 800 mg of Chondrotin. (2 pills)
She has elbow dysplasia and her surgeon recommened her
taking this supplement to help her with her arthritis. It is not
a cure but it suppose to help rebuild the cartilage and tissues.
My husband takes this supplement and he says it helps him also.
I do not think it would hurt to start your buddy on this supplement. Light excersise like walks are good for arthritis.
I hope this info helps you.
