The in laws dog I mentioned and an elderly dog that belongs to some good friends are both on something called Librella which the vets inject monthly. I`m sure it wont work on every dog but I can vouch for the positive effect on these 2 old chaps. I would say it was similar to knocking 2 years off their ages so a very noticeable improvement in quality of life.
Well at least I have a tired German Shepherd and a tired Great Dane now, though the Dane kept trying to stop and have a sit down towards the end, lazy sod, especially for one so young.
Have to keep an eye on this one though
Keeps giving me dirty looks or deliberately not looking at me. Best not fall asleep on the sofa, think he might piss on me or something.
Arthritic Pooches (plus a few other conditions) can be helped by Turmeric Golden Paste apparently - the dog trainer/sitter we use recommends it highly, so if your pooch is getting on, it might be worth a try - and it's very inexpensive to make
Now the weather has warmed up I’m having fun with this dopey bugger.
He’ll walk quite happily for about 30 - 40 minutes, then decide he’s had enough, sit down and refuse to move.
Less if we’ve encountered many other dogs and he’s worn himself out bouncing with excitement.
It’s his birthday tomorrow, 2 years old already.
