Let’s talk about joint health
I have helped a number of my clients with dogs of all types recover joint functionality with the following protocol I thought I would share.
Prevention:
There has been a study done that says running on gentle rolling hills throughout puppyhood can decrease the chances of mild to moderate hip dysplasia. Avoiding excessive stair climbing before 3 months of age is also helpful.

Puppies who carry too much weight or are forced to gain weight too quickly can also be prone to joint issues.
Keeping your adult dogs an ideal weight and in an active lifestyle also matters!
There is no cure for some conditions without surgical intervention, but you can get some comfort and functionality back with proper supplementation.
Keeping your dog on joint care supplements for the course of their life can drastically improve the quality of their life and extend their ability to be active as a senior dog.
If you have a dog showing arthritic symptoms or having trouble with their hips already, it is advisable to double the dose for their weight for the first couple of weeks.
Collagen all types
I do a half a scoop a day for dogs under 30lbs, one scoop for dogs 30 to 70lbs, and two scoops for 70lbs +.
Glucosamine chondroitin+MSM
I do a half a tablet for dogs under 30lbs, one tablet for dogs 30 to 70lbs, and 1.5 for dogs 70 to 100lbs and 2 tablets for over 100lbs.
Hyaluronic acid
I do a 1/8tsp for dogs under 30lbs, 1/4tsp for dogs 30 to 70lbs, and 1/2 tsp for dogs over 70lbs.
I take all these same ones myself for the same benefits. They are all human grade and lab tested. They are the best most affordable ones I have found.

I hope this information is helpful. Please comment with any questions.
