Hello all,
     I had a question about supplemening on EVO or any high end dog food.  Do y'all do it.  I'm specifically wondering about giving supplements for joint support.  I've got a 15 month old golden. He's eating EVO.  Just wondering if anyone out their supplements... .

Goodness... I'm sorry to hear about Jack's conditions.  I think that you are absolutely right about the kibble having everything that they need.  I'm just wondering if I should give a joint supplement?  Tucker sometimes looks like he's favoring one side of his hind end over the other.  I've had 2 dogs with joint issues and am wondering if I can avoid something by supplementing him.  BTW Tucker Jack is his real name.  He knows that something great is coming to him when I say "Tucker Jack".  It's a little hillbilly, but it suits him.

Thanks!!!  So giving human glucosamine is okay?

You can also give treats of foods high in glucosamine/chondroiting, basically anything with lots of cartilage, cow trachea, chicken feet, etc.  2 of my dogs have severe arthritis, one in his hip and the other in her knee.  Both get 1/2 dozen chicken feet daily and trachea weekly.  Natural sources are more easily digested and assimilated than artificial sources.
