Anecdotal, but glucosamine and chondroitin really seemed to help my grandmom's poodle.
She was 13,a bit overweight, and started having issues with stiff joints; I decided to try glucosamine and chondroitin and it really helped. I started her in the winter and she ended up doing better that winter than she had been during the summer, the next summer was better too.
She got around much easier and wasn't as crabby on the medicine. We went into it thinking it wouldn't do much and were surprised when it helped.
Basically I think it's worth a try. |
