I have always loved animals . I currently have 3 rescue canines- Chaplin- a hound/beagle, Boone- A labradoodle and Buddy - A sheepadoddle. These are large dogs ranging from 65 pounds to 125 pounds. A dog’s health is very important to me. In large dogs I worry about Osteoarthritis. It is chronic degenerative inflammation which they will experience as they get older. There are many supplements I give my dogs as they age. It varies from supplements to various herbs.
I utilize three supplements The first one is glucosamine It is used in my human patients to help alleviate arthritis It does provide a moderate level of comfort for my large dogs. Having the youngest dog, Buddy helps keep the others active in the yard and on walks. I also utilize MSM which helps joint discomfort, ease inflammation and assists in physical function of my best friend(s) Truly my dogs are my best friends- Their unconditional love is beyond any comprehension. The last supplement is PEA which helps in pain relieving properties. All can be given together with no side effects or contraindications. I sometimes use a tincture of the herb , Devil’s Claw
How a human treats his canine is the utmost importance to me. This is how I generally judge human’s character
