My dog has severe hip pain. Supplements aren't helping. What now?
If supplements alone haven't helped, it may be time to add in a pain medication or other joint medications to help relieve Halo's discomfort. Unfortunately, these do require a trip to the vet in order to be prescribed, but it's a good idea to schedule a vet visit anyway to monitor Halo's joint health and any progression of disease. Your vet may recommend regular bloodwork and X-rays to watch the hips for any additional deterioration so that medications and joint supplements can be adjusted as needed. Changing supplement types in addition to this, such as adding in fish oil and vitamin E, Green-Lipped mussel, or another glucosamine/chondroitin combo may also help, however, consulting with your vet first to make sure there is no interaction with other medications is best.

Do bone or calcium supplements help hip dysplasia in German Shepherds?
Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Halo and your other dog are on a good quality, balanced diet there is no benefit to giving calcium. I'm assuming you mean that they are already on a glucosamine supplement. Glucosamine supplements vary in quality so make sure they are on a quality veterinary product like Dasuquin. Adding in an omega-3 supplement may also be helpful. Nordic Naturals pet products offers a good omega-3 supplement for pets. Finally, it would be a good idea to ask your veterinarian about Adequan injections. These injections can be very helpful managing hip dysplasia and are very safe!

When to start dog hip and joint supplements & which ones are best?
I usually start dogs at risk when they are adults. I recommend Dasuquin Advanced. I would also start an Omega3 supplement to reduce any joint inflammation. Keeping your dog fit and lean is more important than any supplements. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bella.

Picky Maltese with stiff joints: how to give joint supplements?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What you can do is feed her a joint diet such as Hill's Science Diet j/d which has all the joint supplements and is usually palatable and dogs like it. If not, you can get supplements that are pills and not chewables that you can administer in food or perhaps by pilling her. Good luck and have a great day!
