[Charlie007]

Please could you recommend me an effective, cheap joint supplement? I have a 6yo jrt, thanks

You get what you pay for so I would not get a cheap one. It will be cheaper in the end to buy a good quality one

I use Stride Plus although about £50 to start with you reduce the amount you use as maintenance. I also use Flex from Nupafeed this is Greenlipped Mussel

I wouldnt suggest the injections anyway. They're almost always never a 1x time deal and can cause long term effects.

What injections and what decent studies do you have to prove that they have long term effects?

I recommend cartrophen njections then green lipped mussel pills and turmeric, chondroitin, glucosamine and hydrotherapy if you can afford/find it.

I put my old westie who was 15 on silver lining herbs for dogs. Made an old girl into a puppy again!

My lurcher (Beddie x Whip) had a cruciate lig done 2 years ago this coming Jan. Since the op she has been on Mobile Bones powder (Pooch & Mutt - family that do Blue Chip stuff) £9.99 per pouch that lasts her (16kg approx) around a month.http://www.poochandmutt.com/products/mobilebones/ - (Amazon do free P&P)!
Also has cod liver oil (get human stuff from Tesco) about £2 per bottle. So far touchwood not had any problems since.

OP is there a particular condition or reason you are looking for a supplement? Or just because of the age?

My girl has been on Metacam for years but I also give her joint supplements aswell. She has severe arthritis in her front legs.

I have tried many to varying levels, Seraquin being on of the better ones and relatively cheap after the loading dose

However the one I am currently using is Flexi Joints http://www.vetvits.co.uk/dog-supple...nd_sitelink3&gclid=CNKt5KHOv6wCFUdB4QodjWuHpw It really has made a difference but Kc will only eat them crumbled in with her dinner

This is the one that works best for my dalmatian:-

Tried lots of others with no effect including Cortaflex and Vet Vits but noticed a real difference with this.
