Looks good!! The lab and the g. Retriever here dont let me skip a day, and the yard generally shows it. Hockey stick or a chuck it works great!!

If anybody wanted to rob my house all they would need is a ball.

Chuck it balls are Ruby's faves. We used to get tennis balls. She'd tear the covers off and pop them within a matter of a few hours. Chuck it balls last her about a year.

What do you guy's give your older dogs when their joints are a little sore.  Had to help my lab get up in t he truck t he other day.  Most of the time she does ok.  Bought a nice ramp for her but she is scared of it.  good luck.

baby aspirin was one if I remember correctly..

reiny, there's all kinds of stuff you can give dogs for that. if you know your vet good give them a call or I know fleet farm has stuff for them, just read the labels.

I give my dogs Cosequin and a fish oil pill every day and it seems to help. The latest and greatest now is a product called Antinol. It claims to have improvement in 90% of dogs.   For what it’s worth, I take two glucosamine pills every day and one fish oil pill-the same one that I give my dogs. It seems to work for me, although I know several people that have tried glucosamine and claim it does nothing for them.
Another thing to consider is whether or not your dog may have contracted Lymes, erlichea, or analasmosis-all tick borne diseases. I’ve had three dogs that have had or do have Lymes in spite of being vaccinated for it. It acts up every once in a while, but is easily relieved with doxycycline.
Good luck with your dog, Reinhard.

 glucosamine pills are what I take and have done so for a few years, I feel that has helped my hands for sure...

my mom takes those pills. and I know I used to give something to my black lad also, think that was it.

now I used to do the fish oil pills but I was told those where a waste by my doctor. since they and I have to watch my blood sugar they claim that like taking vitamins you pee most of it out anyway. I was told if you eat halfway right you don't need vitamin supplements.

with that being said, i'm not to sure about those glucosamine pills...…………….. i'm not that old yet and lived a good, clean and healthy lifestyle!!!

Per Dr Busby we give our dog a Tylenol every morning and every evening.  Also the glucosamine pill morning and night.  We give glucosamine to Buddy now too even though he doesn't seem to hurt like Sammy.   I got one of those ramps too RH.  Our dogs love it.  Try putting it on when they are getting out so they have to use it.

Good idea LPS.  Will try that.  I give Lucy glucosamine also.  3 a day.  Thanks.  good luck.
