Joint Supplements

[~flower~]

I am looking into trying a new joint supplement for Emmett, Joint Max TS

  The soft chews, but he would probably eat the chew tablets which are little cheaper. 

  I give him (and all the dogs) fish oil capsules every day, Emmett get about 14 a day, split into about 7 or so each meal. 

  He tore a tendon at 4mos of age and had surgery at 6 months.  He is going to be 6 years old and that leg is getting wobbly.

  What's anybody use, like, dislike, suggestions, etc?

I always gave Keesha glucosamine/chondroitin - the same stuff I take (I take 3 and she'd get one).  I'd just pulverize them and put it in her food.  She had arthritis, but didn't act like it and lived to be 19.   It's basically tasteless/odorless anyway.  No need to spend the extra $$$ for something marketed for pets when it's the same thing.

It's just getting it in him.   If I sprinkle it on his food he won't eat it.(and to be honest I don't want to crush all those pills up and then hope he will still eat his food or not leave some in the bottom of the bowl and waste them.)  I give him the Liquid K9 right now, I just pour it in his mouth.  I figured chews he would just eat and I wouldn't have to get pills in him.
