Aging dogs have special nutritional needs, and some of those can be supplied in the form of dietary supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin. A large percentage of older dogs suffer from arthritis. Feeding a daily dietary supplement containing glucosamine and chondroitin can help reverse and prevent future damage to the cartilage in the joints. These dietary supplements for older dogs have been shown to be very safe and effective and do not require a prescription.
There are currently several dietary supplements for dogs available without a prescription to help your aging dog be more comfortable as he begins to experience joint and muscle pain, arthritis, hip displasia, and other geriatric ailments.
Here are our favorites:
