Nutrition That Can Help the Joints

​

Not every “joint supplement” has the same amount of scientific evidence behind it.

​

Among nutritional supplements, omega-3 fatty acids—particularly EPA and DHA—have some of the strongest evidence for dogs with osteoarthritis.

​

Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce inflammatory processes associated with arthritis and can be provided through certain therapeutic joint diets or appropriately formulated supplements.

​

The amount of EPA and DHA matters, so we recommend discussing the product and dose with us rather than choosing a supplement based only on the amount of “fish oil” listed on the bottle.

​

Joint Supplements

Joint supplements may be incorporated into a dog's overall arthritis plan.

​

Products may contain ingredients such as:

  • Glucosamine

  • Chondroitin

  • Green-lipped mussel

  • UC-II® / undenatured type II collagen

  • ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables)

  • Omega-3 fatty acids

Supplements are not regulated or studied in the same way as prescription medications, and evidence varies considerably among ingredients and products.

For this reason, we recommend choosing veterinary products with reliable quality control and discussing supplements with our team.
