The other is Galliprant 60mg for a large dog (our collie was 60-70lbs while taking it) and is a 90 tablet bottle 1/2 full. If your dog is prescribed either of these or both and you can use them, msg me.

I didn't know these dog meds so I looked them up
Denamarin is a patented liver health supplement for veterinary use only In the long description on Drugs.com there is no mention of it being used for arthritis. Nor is there any recommendation in use for arthritis when I Googled Denamarin Arthritis.

Galliprant is a NSIAD approved for osteoarthritis in dogs. It works at a different chemical level than drugs like ibuprofen which are also NSAIDs. It is a bit pricey at just over 2 dollars a pill online. The offer to give it away is a kind one. Neither product requires a prescription so there is no issue with that potential problem.
