Quoted:
Currently giving Glucosamine HCL (500mg) with MSM (500mg) each day for a 20lb dog but it doesn't seem to be working. What have you found to be successful to treat arthritis in dogs? My Pitt mix had developed a limp in his front right leg. He was having a hard time walking around the block. I was racking my brain for ways to help him and had even gotten a prescription for anti inflammatory meds. They did not work but I decided to try something else, and that was Ostioboiflex. That stuff did wonders, in a few weeks he was back to walking fine and with a regular dose he is not limping anymore except under extreme exertion. It's expensive but worked wonders. He is about 85 pounds and I give him one every few days. I know some people give more like 2 pills a day |

Is Ostioboiflex for people or specific for pets as I didn't see one.
I prefer one for pets only because it is much easier to get her to eat it. |

My sheltie got to where I had to carry him up and down the stairs (yes at his command) and we put him on a grain free food and started adding MCT oil to it and he went back to going up and down the stairs by himself.
I got the Idea after my Dr put me on a grain free diet for my arthritis and it helped me. |

Both of mine spit out pills so it took me a while to perfect the way to give it to them. I either cut a hot dog into smaller pieces, cram the pill in it or coat it with mayo. They never spit it out then. Neither will take a pill outright though |

Cutting out inflammatory foods has made dramatic improvements for the whole family. Outside of stupid injuries I am pain free and my chiropractor thinks I am stepping out on him. from visits once a week to it's been a year. |

Accupuncture worked great on our old dog. His hips were pretty well worn out. He didn't like it at all the first time, but by the third, he couldn't wait to get those needles in. His walks went back to his usual 2-3 miles, and he gained 12 pounds back he had lost due to loss of muscle mass. It made his last few months pretty pleasant.
Good luck. |

My dobbie was on Rimadyl for the last few years of his life. It helped him get around tremendously.
