My poor doggy
February 8th, 2010 | by admin |Although arthritis does seem to plague dogs more as they get older, young dogs can suffer from stiffness too. If your dog means a lot to you, you will not want to ignore the signs indicating that he has joint pain. But you hesitate to try glucosamine for dogs without knowing whether it is safe and effective.
Yes, glucosamine has been proven in several recent studies to be safe and easily tolerated by dogs. This is because glucosamine is designed by nature to increase the strength and endurance of joints. Your dog produces this substance himself. However, he may not produce enough, especially as he ages. That is when he will start to feel the aches and pains which may also plague his master, with age.
