Dog with stiff joints?

[Listlessbean]

I saw this on another forum... and tried it... and what a result!

I have a lab and he was starting to slow down ..it looked like joint pain ...and I was recommended a bioflow collar and to give him Greem Lipped Mussel tablets.

He is 8, but running around like a pup now. I would deffo recommend these.

To be honest, I don't know if it's the collar or the tablets ...or whether he just 'got better' himself ....but I'm happy he's happy!

Ooooh! Thanks for this, one of my GSD's has stiff joints and I have recently got her a Bioflow collar which seems to have helped but I will definitely try the Green Lipped Mussel tablets.

BTW what dose do you give them? Thanks.

I just give one tablet a day with his food. Hope it helps.

I have an ancient greyhound, where do you buy the tablets from?

Listlessbean - are you a vet? Am at "it looked like joint pain" - could be many things.

Coccyx, if you have an ancient greyhound please get them to the vet for an assessment. If they have arthritis, they should be having pain relief and anti inflammatories. If they had a long racing career, there may be racing injuries?

I can't find any significant evidence of effectiveness of GLM against arthritis in dogs - some small, and older studies in humans, showing possible benefits for arthritis and bowel problems.

Scuttlebutter I am not a negligent dog owner. My old girl has been to the vets for an assessment and is on an anti inflammatory. She has never raced just the runt from an unwanted litter.

Coccyx, I apologise. Should not have jumped to conclusions.

Bet your grey is lovely though.

We gave our lab a product including GLM. Jury is out on any benefit. However he now hoovers up all mussel shells at the beach. Dread to think about his rear end subsequently but doesn't seem to bother him
