Sherry,
Do you know the brand name of the stuff you get on Amazon? Yes, giving a pill to some dogs can be difficult. I usually give pills tucked inside a piece of cheese or bread. 
Thanks!

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
