Ok so some of you that know me by now are probably wondering why i am asking about an older weim!?!
Well, when we finally decided to buy our first home i went and found the one Real Estate agent in the county that owns a weim! Yeah i am that crazy.....
Her girl is 8 yrs old (she was a stray so no one knows for sure) and lately she keeps injuring herself by running to hard or jumping the wrong way. I have invited my Real-estate agent to join the forum but she has not yet done so.
Are there any supplement out there that would help an older weim with joint problems, arthritis, hip problems?

I use Nupro Silver w/joint supplement. There is also an outfit called Springtime that makes a supplement called Longevity and another called Fresh Factors. It is a little pricey but I have heard wonderful things about both. I get a supplement for Jake from B-Naturals. They are also worth taking a look at.

ziggy got fido-wobenzym. it has all kinds of enzymes that are anti-inflammatory if you feed it between meals. also good for blood and tissue strength. it did wonders and added a lot of time to her life.

right now, lakshmi gets joint supplements with green lipped mussel. she is going strong at almost 8.

It's been great fun getting to know Iris and Rocky. I appreciate her knowing my crazy schedule and taking the initiative with my pup. Ihana is doing better and is no longer limping or favoring her leg. I will look into those supplements for her. Many thanks!!

Hi guys,
IhanasPal is my agent and her girl is just soooo gorgeous and so well natured, we just adore her.
We got Longevity from Springtime for Rocky and the ingredients are great, the only problem is that he would not take it or if he ate the smallest trace of it the food would come right back out and into my carpet. I gave a good try for about a week and just today actually i am sending it back. The people as Springtime are so nice as well and they were very helpful with tips on how to feed it to him. They said that sometimes (very rarely) it does not agree with the dog and they are more than happy to take it back. I was really hoping and praying though that he would take it so his immune system would build up a bit against allergies, but no luck.

Iris, try something by B-Naturals. Just google it and you will come up with their website. Jake takes their supplement for chronically ill dogs and he loves it. They have all kinds of blends to boost the immune system and the flavoring doesn't seem to be as strong as the other supplement I use for the younger ones so maybe Rocky with handle it better. It makes a nice tasty gravy and Jake loves it.
