About This Site

The Dog Joint Health List publishes first-person reviews, comparisons and how-to guides on joint supplements, omega-3 oils, orthopedic beds, foam ramps and support slings for older dogs. Everything here comes from daily life with one aging dog and a lifetime of family dogs. It is not veterinary advice, and one dog is never proof of what will happen with yours.

Your Dog's Safety

Nothing on this site is veterinary advice. Limping, stiffness or trouble rising can come from arthritis, but also from injury, infection, nerve problems or cancer, so have a vet look at your dog before you start any supplement. Sudden lameness, crying out, a swollen joint, dragging paws or a dog who cannot stand needs a vet the same day.

Joint chews and fish oils are supplements, not medicine, and they do not cure arthritis. Tell your vet about every one you use, especially if your dog takes pain medication or a blood thinner, has a bleeding disorder, pancreatitis or diabetes, or is headed for surgery. Fish oil can loosen stools and adds calories. Follow the label for your dog's weight, and never give a dog a human joint product or human pain reliever, because some contain xylitol or drugs that are toxic to dogs. Keep every supplement out of reach, since flavored chews can be eaten by the bag.

Check the weight limit and the height of any ramp or steps against your dog and your furniture, set it on a surface where it cannot slide, and stay beside your dog until it is confident. Fit a support sling snugly, lift gently with your legs rather than your back, and never use one to drag a dog or to hold up a dog with a fresh injury. Watch for rubbing under the sling, and take care on wet steps, where you can slip as easily as your dog.
