Question
I am totally overwhelmed by all the information about which supplements a dog should have for joint care & arthritis.
what I am looking for is a list of ingredients with quantities per Kg of dog weight

Answer
Tony,
I am a real beleiver in a high quality dietand proper feeding to maintaining the weight of your dog at a healthy level,which is individual for each dog. I do not beleive that supliments should be given, yes there is a lot of products which are marketed for joint care and arthritis. I beleive that a veterinarian should be consulted for any supplementation of a dogs diet for any reason. unless you are prepared for imbalances of nutrients which can cause just as many problems as inproper nutrition. there are alway two sides to a solution. good and bad effects. What you are looking for may only be available from the maunfacturer of a product.
