Much like humans, our Lab’s joints wear down over time. As proactive pet parents, we want to do everything in our power to ensure our dog’s joints stay healthy and our dog’s stay active for as long as possible.
It goes without saying that proper diet and exercise are absolutely vital for the health of your Lab’s joints. In addition, many veterinarians recommend supplementing your dog’s diet with glucosamine & chondroitin as a preventative measure, and as a way of supporting the health of already aging joints.
When Should I Begin Using a Joint Care Supplement (Glucosamine, Chondroitin) for My Lab?
The larger the breed of dog you have, the earlier you should consider supplementation. Labs in particular are prone to more severe joint problems. Many veterinarians recommend supplementation for Labs as soon as they stop growing, or as early as 12 months old.
Remember, all preventative measures (diet, nutrition, and supplementation) are far more effective before signs of joint pain are present.
Joint pain is an absolutely terrible thing to observe in our Labs. Talk to your vet and come up with a plan. If supplementation is right for your dog, we encourage you to try our Project Paws ™ line of Canine Joint Care Supplements. Not only do we believe it to be the best product on the market, but each bottle provides 14 healthy meals for shelter dogs!
