Hello Marshall! Welcome!
You can get glucosamine and chondroitin supplements in the UK quite easily. The stuff for humans from Holland and Barrett is perfectly acceptable for dogs and they often have it on special. If you're looking for good fish oil, you can't go wrong with tinned sardines or pilchards. They are cheap as muck and delicious-- though you may find yourself buying breath freshening treats to counter the... ahem... fragrance.
I would recommend Metacam only if there is arthritis present. It's a painkiller, not a preventative. It is a very effective painkiller, but if you can work with fish and supplements now, you may not need it yet. A good diet will certainly help!
