Joint Supplements – Does my dog need one?
The answer to this may be simple if for example you have an elderly dog, then yes a joint supplement will definitely be of benefit. What about the rest of us with healthy fit animals?
The answer is in most cases feeding a joint supplement is probably not necessary, but there are situations where feeding a joint supplement can be considered a wise investment. Working dogs who are more active and put their joints under more strain than normal would be an example where feeding a joint supplement may be of benefit.
