When I got my Frances I was given two jars of supplements, glucosamine and omega 3. I just thought it was a bit over kill to give dog supplements,we finished the jars and never got her some more. I had no idea how much of high maintanace EBDs could be. Three years later my baby has a cherry eye and hip displasia. When she gets up in the morning I can almost all hear joints popping. I thought she was always going to be healthy and active like any other dog I have as she was when she was when she was a puppy, I was dead wrong. Now I have her eating a high protien dog food and have her glucosamine(COSEQUIN). The glucosamine helped alot I would recomend for any pup, adult or senior EBD. As we all know EBD activity level and health can significaly change from pup to adult age. I can only wonder if I would have kept her on glucosamine how diffrent things could have turned out....
