    A woman that works in the local pund today suggested that my 11 year old staffy has arthritis. This could be true but I hope not

    He is less active goes very slow up the stairs now but still loves his walks, doesn't run but sort of jogs

    If he dose have arthritis what is the best thing I can do for him?

    My guy who's nearly 10 has stiff joints, my vet reckons at some point he will need injections into his shoulders etc but in the mean time I give him the following:

    Luposan pellets
    Salmon oil

    Each day in his food a spoon of the hunter salmon oil and a scoop of the pellets I buy them direct from zooplus.ie

    I did use arthuraid as sold by my vets but find the luposan pellets better.

    Try this and after a few weeks Youll see results, move movement etc!

    Best of luck
