Glucosamine & fish oil supplements

[user1501183617]

Hi,

I have two elderly shih tzus, one of which has always had hips that are clunky and can be dislocated relatively easily. Despite this they are both really well, no evidence of joint disease currently and have good muscle mass around the hips etc.

I would like to start some supplements, glucosamine and a fish oil. Vet says that there is no strong evidence for using them in animals (likely due to lack of good studies because its ethically difficult) although there is good evidence in humans so no reason not to try.

My question is where do you purchase your supplements from?

And are there any other supplements you give your elderly dogs?

Thank you

I buy a high quality 'veteran' food which has these things included. I've also had a lot of success with 'YouMove' which has helped my older dogs arthritis a lot - he used to groan when lying down etc but now doesn't at all. Initially it was prescribed by the vet but now I buy it off amazon.

I give mine Yumove and think it has made a huge difference.
Usually buy from Viovet.co.uk and actually get the 'working dog' one as it is the same formulation as the other Yumove tablets, but Vat free.

Brilliant, thank you both. Off to look it up now

I give my dog Canine Joint Right , it comes from a company called horse supplements ( I think) , it has improved his legs a great deal .
