I have no interest in reading mountains of anecdotal info.
I have reported your PM to me. If you have something to say, kindly do it in public.
Now you are going on my Ignore list.

Claire there is a product called JointAid and it is very effective, not cheap but it does work. I gave it to Rosie for a while, its all natural products and you just add it to their food.

Thankyou.

If you wanted to feed joint friendly treats, apparently cartilage is naturally high in glucosamine. So treats like dried oesophagus would be a source, although I have no idea how much you'd need to feed to have an effect, probably would need feeding in addition to a proper supplement.

I'm surprised Smokeybear hasn't commented on this yet, being a raw feeder who feeds a number of well researched supplements too.

That is cos I have been at Crufts since 6:30 am!

Is there some reason you cannot give capsules, tablets, powder?

Excuses, excuses

No reason - just that they tend to spit them out.
I wondered if, instead of giving fish oil capsules, feeding pilchards or some other fish does the same?

Cetyl M are great big pills which dogs eat like treats, and they are (I assume) very tasty.

There are some studies which say that getting your OMega 3 via real food rather than supplements has a more beneficial effect on animals, so yes feeding fish high in the relevant EFAs would be a good idea

Sardines, Pilchards, Mackeral etc (I would avoid tuna).

As previously mentioned consuming raw meaty bones is useful.

This has really helped Whisper. She's had stiffness in her shoulder and thanks to smokeybear - - we found out about this supplement.

Whisper won't eat them on their own but then she's bloomin' awkward with treats of any kind other than Markies! She won't eat them mixed in with her food (we found them delicately licked clean and spat out next to her dish! ) so we grind them up and then mix them in her food.

We had tried the Flexijoint (vetvits) but tbh I didn't seem to notice a big difference with Whisper - it certainly wasn't anywhere near as effective as the Cetyl M.

Interesting you say to avoid tuna. I read an article that said dogs with renal disease shouldn't be fed tuna.
