I've seen several posts and things places that mention joint health shakes for dogs. So, my BABEY is having some trouble trotting up the stairs, should I consider this? If so, how many, how often? I have a 45lbs welsh corgi. Also, Vanilla right! Last thing I want is a chocolate addicted pup when there could be real chocolate in the house.

Any thoughts?

I know several people who have had success with giving the Joint Health to their dogs. Chocolate is not safe to give to dogs so always stick with the Vanilla. Most people start with half a packet twice a day. Try giving it to him just mixed in water. Some dogs love that and look forward to the treat. If your dog does not like the drink then add the shake to some dry food, it taks on the flavor of the dry mix and kinda works as a gravy.

DeDe, do you give him the joint supplements made for dogs? Mine both take glucosamine (the female also gets chondroitin but it's been linked to cancer in males) daily to maintain joint health.
