Many readers have reported good results giving arthritic dogs a daily supplement of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. Flaxseed oil and turmeric can also help, along with regular massage therapy.
The supplements should be given with food, calculating the dose on the basis of a human weight of 150 pounds, so you would give one-third the amount to a 50-pound dog.
Flaxseed oil, also good for coat and skin, has anti-inflammatory properties, so add one tablespoon daily to your dog's food. Salmon or cod liver oil is better for cats, but use only a few drops daily in food.
