[darren m]

any body give there dogs joint supplements

 

cali my middle springer who had both cruciate ligs done needs to take a joint supplement , this is on my vets advice .

i,m just wondering what you all use as opposed to getting it from the vets .

 

i remember vit c was a good one and cod liver oil , gave these both to my german shepards many years ago , but things have moved on since then somewhat

 

any opinions

thanks

Put my 2 yr old Patterdale Terrier on some stuff called JOINT AID for DOGS, after he kept limping on one of his front legs after running after the ball.

 

Cleared up Ok and I have kept him on a maintenance dose and it has not reoccurred.

 

Information says it contains the following -

 

•Chondroitin

•Collagen

•Curcumin

•Glucosamine

•Glutamine

•MSM

•Oatinol™

•Vitamin C

Nope, if thier diet doesnt contain all they require change it so it does IMO. Some vets are pure gold, ut it does seem that many have become glorified salesmen these days

I use cod liver oil capsules for my springer, just one a day in her feed and she's a different dog!!

Most of the supplements contain glucosamine I was reading up on it recently although I feed my dogs barf it turns out that dogs can absorb 90 odd percent of the glucosamine in connective tissue collagen etc that they get from a raw food diet my old biitch is 13 this May and still galloping like a youngster.

There is no evidence for these products in the literature. I was in a discussion on a vet forum and the majority agreed. The best point made was they do no harm.

 

A BIG study in people found no benefit.

A six months old my lab had the same op but only on the one leg, and for a while after she used to limp no and again. I used Brod Pod it's a pair of magnets that you put on their collar, I got this because it had a 90 day money back offer. Since putting it on she has had no problems or a single limp, I really endorse magnets and so does a friend who uses them on horses. All my future dogs will have them, and you can get beds and all sorts.

I've always gave my dogs one cod liver oil capsule from pups, one a day but don't give the full strenght one ie: 1000mg as otherwise they might be getting to much vitamin A which my vet told me it could be harmful, so i get the minimum one i can get which is 400mg. I get it from wilkinsons.
