What is best for dogs joints?

[JoClark]

I have a 10 (nearly 11) lab x collie who still thinks shes still 2. She comes down the yard with me and doesnt stop, then at home she's shattered and gets stiff and limps .

I've put her on Seraquin now, i was just wondering if there was anything else or is seraquin the best?

Any views would be helpful.

Thanks

Best to look at ingredients as Seraquin is Glucosamine , Chondroitin plus tumeric.
Youmove & a pinch of tumaric would provide the same for around 30p a day.

Jack has Glucosamine, I just get the tubs from whereever is cheapest (normally our local wholesaller) and it works out 6.6p per day (one tablet twice a day). I've stopped very long walks but he does up to 5 miles with no problems or stif

I use raw virgin coconut oil, Diatomaceous Earth and Turmeric, my JRT who is 11 going on 12 now runs around like a whippet!
My whippet x saluki Lurcher is as mad as ever and my staffie x lab with stifle problems is better too.

Glucosamine needs chondroitin to be activated, hence why seraquin has both.

Raw chicken wings will also provide a good supplement.

Green lipped mussel is good, IME as is turmeric.

Thoroughly recommend green lipped mussel. My ESS is 14 and keeps going on it.

I was going to say green-lipped mussel supplement as well. Supposed to be fab - you can get them from the likes of Holland & Barratt I believe.

My dog has arthritis and really bad joints - we give him Seven Seas pure cod liver oil (orange flavoured). He really likes it and seems to help

Lintbells Yumove is recommended but not sold by my vet! Also another vote for green-lipped mussel extract in the yumove also in Flexi-chew plus. Available on line much cheaper than vets.

I put my dog on yumove after seeing posts on here about it. I have a 12 year old collie who still thinks he is about 2. He has started to get quite stiff after a long walk, and would yelp when he got up after a long sleep etc.

He has been on yumove since August and his stiffness has decreased noticeably. I also think his gait is a little bit springier! Think Yumove has glucosamine, chondriotin and green lipped muscle.

Pistolpete, I work in a vets and we can get it! I would have thought most vets would be able to get it in, but it's cheaper online anyway
