darren 67 Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Has your spaniel got wet the on the days shooting when its stiff? Mine gets stiff if I don't dry him off well and now I put a coat on him to travel home in after days done. After all if you got wet and cold would you not feel a bit stiff the next day.

Tim Kelly Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 My old spaniel used to get really stiff after a day out from when he was about 8 or 9 onwards. Started giving him glucosamine and chondroitin tablets every day with his dinner and he was utterly transformed. He'd be fine after a couple of hours of rest after a day out, not stiff and creaky all evening and the following day as he had been. I think you have to give them the tablets all the time for it to work, but I was amazed how effective they were. Look out for bargains on them at holland and barrett, two for ones etc and it's not massively expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
