"When should I start giving my dog joint supplements?"
One usually starts giving joint supplements when the dog needs extra support for the joints due to early stiffness. It is important to pay attention to changes in the dog's movement patterns. Is it having a harder time jumping into the car? Does it look stiff at the beginning of the walk? If so, it may be time to start with a joint supplement.
Even better is to start with joint supplements as a preventive measure. This may be relevant if the dog is starting to age, is being actively trained, and one wants to prevent injuries, or if it belongs to a larger breed that generally puts more strain on the joints. Even dogs with a conformation that does not favor durability, for example, poorly designed joints, can benefit from supplements at an earlier age. Overweight also negatively affects the joints, and in such cases, a joint supplement can be a good complement – but always in combination with a tailored diet and exercise to achieve a healthy weight.
