Have been reading about supplements that would help young and old Labs with joint issues or would be good to give to help them stay problem free.
Here are the main ingredients I see mentioned over and over again.
Glucosamine with HA (LiquidHealthinc.com) Has worked best, even tried it myself The regular Glucosamine with anything else has not worked. This was amazing. However be careful when ordering they have sent the wrong stuff on occasion.
I have the best results with Hyaluronic Acid, either Trixsyn or Lubrisyn. A good MSM (Opti-MSM) 1000 mgs. 2 x's per day is also very good and I've tried this myself. Neither are hard on the stomach.
I've had remarkable luck with lubrisyn with my boy who has OCD of the hocks. He's almost 8, and so far, no pain killers needed. I need to go knock some wood now.
I've had good luck with Dasuquin and Omega 3,6,9 suppliments for a young lab diagnosed with FCP. She has been on it for almost 9 months and is not limping at all. She had been limping at 6 months.
You can email me privately if you want the latest information on joint supplements. I work for a distributor that sells all kinds of joint supplements that I have information on, but have also worked for veterinarians for 22 years, so I would ask you what your vet has recommended also.
I can help you with the ingredients you have mentioned. Generally speaking, the best joint supplements have perna or blue/green algae (natural cox-2 inhibitors) or have the SAP, like Dasuquin by Nutramax.
Email me if you would like more information.
