Answer:

I have used Glyco Flex for years with several large breed dogs. In the past when I would let us run out, I could really tell that they hurt alot worse after missing doses.... I don't do that anymore! It served one of my large breed dogs to over 15 years of age as well! I buy it on this website. There is mutliple versions to choose from as well. With our last Rottweiler puppy we got I even started him on low doses as a preventative measure. That seems to be going well as well. He is 5 years old now and showing no signs at all of slowing down!

Answer:

I put both my elderly bulldogs on Coesquin DS, and it has made a big difference. They have a lot more engery, and don't seem as achy first thing in the morning. Great product, highly recommend it.

Answer:

We've had much success with the combination of Cosequin DS & Adequan (which now can be administered within the skin). The combination of these two arthritic formulas work in different parts of the joints. I would recommend doing research in this area and under the advise of an orthopedic surgeon or a knowledgeable vet. Good luck!

Answer:

I purchased the most expensive orthopedic feathertop bed for my dog who limps from time and time again.... Now that he sleeps on a orthopedic memory foam bed (along with myself with him) his limping has come to almost non existent. That bed is completely top quality and everyone should one have for a dog 60lbs +.

Is there a kind of wrap I can put around my dog's knee?

She tore a ligament about 6 months ago and I'd love to find something to wrap around it, or maybe something to heat it to help the pain and to keep her poor leg moving.
Thanks so much,
Tracy

Answer:

Thank you for your question. We would have our product ELASTIKON® Elastic Tape, which can be used to wrap your pets knee. However this is not heated. The item number 79005 and would be $34.99. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-381-7179 or email Customerservice@DrsFosterSmith.com as more information is needed to better answer your question.

Answer:

Look for a dog-sling. It's like a hammock that goes under the belly and up around the sides with handles on it. That way you can support her and help her keep her balance.
