My 17.5yo girl has arthritis which kicked in about November so apart from once a month Librella I’ve been issued with lexicom and tramadol which seems to work on and off, then someone suggested this sleeping aid, bottom line I’ve stopped everything except librella and if at night when she’s more susceptible to pain cry’s-normally twice a week she has some of this, which I believe is natural and it works a treat.

Green lipped muscle supplement,the human version is much cheaper than the animal targetted version and is the same.

Used to give it to my old collie-cross and it made a bit of a difference he got to 16, but your pup sounds like they are having a really hard time. It is so heartbreaking when they are in pain.

Thanks for sharing.
Seeing our furry friends struggle with age-related issues is really heartbreaking.
Our dog also had arthritis. We gave her Galliprant (thanks to a pet prescription without vet I could order it any time we needed it). From what I read, this is one of the safest options for controlling pain and inflammation compared to over-the-counter, non-veterinary products.
Also, it is essential to control exercise. Gentle regular lead walks are better than an hour spent running around after a ball or with another dog.
