Arthritis in hind legs

[Persephone]

I am posting on behalf of a friend who has recently taken on a 7 year old Rottweiler x Retriever. Apparently his hind legs are very stiff in the mornings and she wants to try a supplement to relieve it.

I don't know about dogs, but for a horse I would be trying Cod Liver Oil first. Would this be correct? Any other suggestions ?


Does anybody have any recommendations? Also any sites to keep the prices down.

Thanks

You'll probably get advices about supplements from others so I'll only say that for all my three late old dogs with different problems, nothing has worked as well as acupuncture. Made them walk like dogs half their age, sleep as relaxed as a puppy and I could forget about pills or morning stiffness!

Synoquin
Cartrophen and Rimadyl. We tried acupuncture and it worked for a short while only
