[nagdu] Joint health.

[Sherry Gomes]

I sue a dog supplement I get from amazon. I use it with Bianca. It's cheddar
and bacon flavored and she loves it. From what IO understand, you can give
them human strength, but I prefer the flavored doggy stuff, so I don't have
to fight with her over pills a couple times a day.

Hi,
My seven year old guide dog, Pascal has been slowing down over the last few
months. The Vet also noticed some joint pain in his hips, low back and
shoulders. I would like to start him on a joint supplement. I am considering
Glucosamine and chondrointin. Is it safe to use human strength products, or
should I purchase it from my Vet's office. How many miligrams does a 75lb.
dog need? I was also told to put him on a fish oil supplement too, so what
is a good amount of that to give him? What is the best way to give these
supplements (do I put it in his food, etc)?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Deanna and Pascal
