DaintyDutchess Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Anybody here check out the Trader Joe’s supplements they have for dogs? I just saw them in stock in my area. Made in USA... Thoughts/comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronckew Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 My last dog, when she got elderly, I used an American Equine glucosamine & chondroitin powder, cost me about £15 for a kilo tub (2.2lb.) and lasted forever at about a teaspoon a day mixed in her food. My vet said there is no difference in the chemical formulation between the horsey or the doggy versions, or even the human ones. I used it myself. probably should buy some for me again now... Poppy doesn't need it yet as she's only going on 7 yrs. Does make you want to chew on the lawn tho.

2greyhoundMINI Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) I used Dasaquin Glucosamine, Chondritin, MSM chews for my last 2 hounds and it seemed to work well. Am planning on getting it for my new girls as well. Ordered from Amazon.

FiveRoooooers Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Costco’s Kirkland brand of Glucosamine/MSM is 1500mg of each component. My seniors have been on this for years. A bottle of 375 caplets is around $18, and they are often a sale. Give one caplet twice a day. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

SerenityHounds Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I have been using Get Up and Go from https://www.greyhoundgang.org I had at first bought just the small containers, then went ahead and got the bags for refills. I do use all 4 recommended items, but the MSM and Vitamin C only about 1/2 the time. The lady who has this site has a good bit of information regarding this subject. I started this on older hounds a few years ago and it seemed to work quite well. I now use it on my two newest (3 & 4 year old) hounds. Sadly I no longer have my elderly pack :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I’d like to think that these sorts of supplements help, and I am wishful enough to possibly use them again in the future, but I just haven’t seen results in any of my dogs. my vet says, “probably won’t hurt, but might not help, either” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
