My dear old dog has wintered well but is generally stiff and we feel he would benefit from a general daily supplement. Here is a little about him - any supplement advice much appreciated...


He is on 1.5 Previcox a day..
He is fed on Millie’s Wolfheart which we love, all the dogs have it, and cured his sensitive skin flare-ups and in general is amazing. He has a tablespoon of sardine in with this (brine).
He still comes on our daily walkies which includes a sea swim and is always the first in the water and last out.
He has a little evening potter around our village which he again is always keen to do.
As with most, I have to be mindful of his weight, and he does have a sensitive tummy so I can’t add any more oil content to his feed.
He has a heart murmour which is monitored and not worsening at the moment.
Thanks all.
 
We give cortaflex to our Westie, it makes a huge difference. She suffers from colitis, and she's had another flsre up of it recently so we stopped adding the cortaflex for a few days and she can hardly move without it.
 
I use Yumove Advance for my elderly greyhound - it definitely makes a difference, I deliberately stopped it to see if her behaviour/ability to move changed and I quickly put her back on it!
 
I use yumove advance 360, it's amazing stuff, twice I've taken my dog off it and in a week she's started to get stiff when getting up after a sleep. A few days on her yumove advance 360 and the stiffness goes, it really works. I didn't find the ordinary yumove made any difference.
I'd be interested to try the riaflex as it's cheaper, however at the moment my insurance pays for the yumove advance 360 so it's not worth it.
