Who needs joint supplements
Joint supplements are given to growing large-breed dogs, senior, active and sporting dogs, and after injuries or surgery — usually as a 1–3 month course. The key ingredients are glucosamine and chondroitin, often with collagen, hyaluronic acid and MSM.
Check the dose for your dog's weight in the leaflet. Limping, pain or stiffness are a reason to see a vet first: supplements support the joints but don't replace treatment.
