spanner the stig asked: My Border Collie is almost 11 and is starting to show a lot of signs of age. The vet says that his skin condition is reflecting the fact that his liver is starting to age but said that all he needs at the moment is a good vitamin/mineral supplement for elderly dogs. The vets themselves sell a supplement which was about £40 a pot - more than I can afford at the moment! There’s a bewildering array of health supplements for dogs and I just wondered if anyone could recommend a good vitamin and mineral supplement for elderly dogs? Many thanks!
Sorry Ms S, I couldn’t open the webpage - what was it? Thanks
Thanks for all the answers so far and I meant to put that I’m in the UK so needs to be something I can source from here.

Valerie asked: I have labradors, and i was wondering, should i start them on a joint supplement now?
As you may know, Labs are prone to hip dysplasia, and i want to prevent that with my dog.
so, do you think i should start my dogs on joint and hip supplements now?
btw; my labs are from the ages 8 months, to 4 years.
and i have 3
Ok, so my dad also owns a lab, and he gives him a fish oil tablet everyday, he just buys the regular ones from walmart, i think they are naturemade brand
would that be the kind i would get if i wanted to start my labs on those?
just the regular human kind?

If you don’t remember this product, but know of another that also promotes dog health and longevity I’d appreciate it if you’d share the name of the product. Thanks.
Thanks for your answer Smiley. You said your Dad used to use it. Do you know if they still make it; if not, does your Dad use a different product now?

my mom has been giving my dog, that is ten years old, vitamins. My dog has thyroid issues and is on medication for that, but she also has cataracts, but within a period of about a 2 weeks she’s become almost completely blind…i think my mom unintentionally caused it….

We have a 7 yr old German Shepard whos is beginning to have hip problems. We give her fish oil and a joint health supplement for dogs and it seems to help, just wondering if the calcium would also help.
