GraceMcC Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Just wandering what joint supplements people use for large growing pups and/or their aging dogs? Any foods/ products that anyone could recommend? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 growing pups get a good quality dry food the breed and keep them trim for older dogs I love the Ethical Nutrients high strength liquid fish oil, and I use human 1000mg glucosamine/chondroiten tabs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I wouldn't give a joint supplement to a growing pup. A balanced diet is what they need. I use Joint Guard for my older dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staranais Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I give fish oil with vit E, glucosamine, chondroitin. Don't see any issues giving any of those things to growing pups. Like Nekhbet says, keeping the pup lean is one of the best things you can do for its joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSD FAN Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I use Vets All natural Joint Formula for my 10 year old GSD. I get it from Petstock and it's reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassandBel Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have found Glyde to work the best for geriatric dogs. Can be a bit pricey if purchased through vet $120+ but can be found online for about $80. Had used a combination of Sasha's Blend and fish oil prior to this and also one starting with "P" :D but Glyde definately gave my 16yo a few extra years of comfort.

~Archie~ Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 We're using Joint Guard as a preventative for our very active dog, and Mum uses it in her old Labrador. There is no harm in using it in a large breed dog or a dog predisposed to joint issues or an active dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ophnbark Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 100% Natural shark catilage is great for older dogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenblue Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Pernaease powder is a product we are sucsessfully selling a lot of in our clinic.... we used to stock a fair bit of sashas blend, but this cheaper product is selling really well and the feedback has been positive. I would think a high quality specialist puppy diet would be sufficiant enough for a pup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
