Hip and joint support for senior dogs: ingredients and amounts
Short answer. Joint supplements for dogs are dosed by body weight and given every day, because the ingredients work by building up rather than by acting on the day you give them. Trueleaf's Hip + Joint chews are one chew per 8 lb of body weight a day, so half a chew for a 4 lb dog and twelve for a 96 lb dog, with twice the daily amount for the first 10 days. The ingredient with the most direct canine research behind it is the marine Omega-3 group, green lipped mussel included. Glucosamine and chondroitin have a far more mixed evidence base than their fame suggests. Give it six to eight weeks before you judge it, not two.
