Took stella to the vets for her boosters yesterday and general mot, the vet mentioned that her back legs were a bit creaky, and something about cartlidge build up. She said we should be giving her joint supplements but I cant remember what she said to take, she said u can use human ones? The vet wrote it down but my other half didnt pick it up i dont wanna call and look like an idiot.
any suggestions or advice on what you guys have used.

Re: HELP needed joint issues
Hi Eve,
I would recommend 'Joint Aid' a friend of mine had a GSD with hip problems (he was about 10 years old) and after he'd been on this joint aid for a little while, he was walking about again with no problems.....
Here's the link to the joint aid website:
http://www.jointaid.co.uk/
There's another sort of thing made by pedigree, I don't really know much about it, but I've heard its good..

I use joint aid for mine, they haven't got joint issues but serving it to them still helps anyways.
Hope this helps

Thanks John I'll have a look at the link, she had lost more weight which is good, slight cateracts but nothing out of the ordinary for a 11 year old

Re: HELP needed joint issues
Hi Eve,
Years ago I was recommended "Glucosamine Chondroitin & MSM" by my vet to treat knee problems our old dog had. After seeing the results in my dog I tried some for my own knee pain and it worked wonders. You can by this most places but here's a link to Holland and Barretts.
