Joint supplement for my dog?
I have a five year old black lab that takes a calcium supplement as a preventative measure for her joints. I was using Cosequin, but I was hoping there was a less expensive alternative available in the human over-the-counter. Can anyone suggest an alternative? Cheers!

bu some pig’s feet and boil them, there’s a lot of cartilage in them.
Here is one source.
“Compares to Cosequin at a much lower price!

glucosamine for pets – few different brands available – good for older arthritic dogs. Also my dogs always swam alot and from when they were puppies they have sardines canned in oil twice a week, recommended by vet. Fish oil is good for joints.
Try Previcox. Its a rx you get from your vet. I work in an animal hospital and everyone raves about it. Also if your pets pain persists try cold laser therapy (also at the vet). I have seen dogs who were in so much pain they could barely walk and after the treatment were running around. Not a quick fix though, you need to do it a few times, like once a week or so.
