Hi

We have probably all heard alot about how labradors inparticular, suffering from arthritis, especially in old age. A good diet can sometimes aid or prevent this, but does anyone feed their labs any vitamins or supplements as a precaution to avoid this problem or help an existing one?

If you do, what types do you give?

Thanks in advance

my neighbours labs suffer from arthritis and she gives them glucosamine for their joints, it helps to ease the joints and has given then a new lease of life.

Hi,

I posted a similar Q the other day, as basil has just started agility but is healthy and fit.

I think i'm going to start giving omega 3 each day too

Indie gets a couple of glucosamine tablets per week, and a dash of green lipped mussel extract a couple of times per week.

Other than that, they don't get any added oils, vitamins or minerals, as they have these in good amounts in the BARF diet.
