Sometime RX's just mask the pain and don't solve the problem.

Actually Glucosamine is a great idea. Without glucosamine, my 14 year old dog acts like a very old dog.
With glucosamine, it's amazing, he is like a puppy and can keep up with the young dogs at the dog park.
It works like a light switch, he goes from bad to super-wonderful in a few days.
Sadly, I tried people glucosamine for six months, and it definitely doesn't work for me.
The products I use for my dog:
Head to Tail - Hip & Joint (chicken liver flavored dog chews). I bought it at Paws. Sometimes he gets tired of taking one every day, so I put a little mayonnaise on it.
or
Cosequin DS joint health supplement plus MSM (tasty soft chews). I bought this product at Walmart.
