"Hello my name is Zephyr Clarke-Dolberg in Miami, Florida with Miami Dog Training. In this clip we're going to talk about dog joint pain supplements. And the majority of supplements that you will find are glucosamine based which helps to build up the joints, the cartilage in the joints helps to keep them safe, helps them to keep them moisturized and helps to keep them working properly. Some dogs are proned to things like dysplasia which is the hip joints, some dogs are proned to elbows dysplasia, some dogs just have arthritis. So depending on what the situation is, maybe it's preventative or maybe it's to deal with pain. So in this case this is a veterinary prescribed supplement or pain killer rather, that's Rimadyl. Over here we have Canine Liquid Health Supplement for dogs, it's glucosamine and HA which is one of the better ones, also has MSM and vitamin C and right here it's setup so that you can give the correct dosage to the dog. Once again this is Zephyr Clarke-Dolberg with Miami Dog Training."
