QuestionI have a 4 yr old Bullmastiff that is currently taking Fish-oil, Glucosamine and Chondroitin daily. I was wondering if there is anything else I can give him to help with his joints? He has bi-lateral hip dysplasia and a torn ACL. Is is not over weight at all. I have been reading differnt supplements people give there pets. I was wondering what if any could I add to his daily intake.

Sheena, Poor Bullmastiff kid! *** hip dysplasia in both hips, and a torn ACL, too....
Wow! YES- I can help you with some supplements.
Glad you are taking the Fish oil/ My favorite is pure Salmon oil.....
Make sure you are using a good Glucosamine Brand.....

Many owners see results in less than 2 weeks.
We have a dog here with 2 ACL MESSED ups surgeries, and the NUJoint started to work in 3 days.
MORE skip in his step and he is now putting some pressure on the bad leg.
NuJoint takes away the pain and inflammation of the joints and hips.

NEXT - how about some Turmeric? This is a herb used in cooking.
Give your dog just 1/4 of a teaspoon per day / mix well into his dog food.
This helps to reduce swelling and inflammation.
You can find this any place that sells cooking herbs.
Good luck:
