Unfortunately our yellow lab Manni is starting to stiffen up and limp around more often as he gets older. The vet suggested putting him on antiinflammatory drugs, but before we do that we'd like to try some natural alternatives first.
Right now he's on Zukes Hipaction treats and fish oil. I'm curious what experiences other folks have ad with natural treatments for stiffness/limping in older large breed dogs, both what has worked and what hasn't.
Also, is there a good reference somewhere with what foods/herbs etc are safe/unsafe for dogs? There's plenty of great antiinflammatory supplements for humans but I'm never sure what's OK to give a dog.
Thanks,
Adam
