Is it too early, at almost six years old, to start giving my dog Glucosamine. Do you have any recommendations as what to start him on as a preventative?

Full Question:
My Daughter thinks she's noticed a problem without almost six year old male Aussie's rear leg. Is it too early to start giving him Glucosamine and if so, do you have any recommendations as what to start him on as a preventative for future years. Also is it necessary? Our previous two male dogs really had problems in the end with arthritis. Thank you.

It’s never too early to give glucosamine; it can be given whenever the dog needs it. Have you had the dog to a vet to determine what the issue is? If it’s arthritis, I do have some recommendations for your dog. If it’s an injury, glucosamine probably won’t make a noticeable difference.

I’ve started a new regimen with my old dog here, I give the supplement Soothe Arthritis AND our liquid Syn-Flex. Those 2 products together have a made a big difference in my dog’s mobility. Glucosamine wasn’t doing much for her when I tried it alone.
