The best supplements to give your dog when they have joint problems are glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. They provide the necessary nutrients for cartilage repair and function. Vitamin B is good for necessary nerve and muscle function, but it's not what is used in dogs with joint problems. It is most commonly used in animals who are not eating adequately, or have a debilitating disease or liver condition. Toxicity with it is very rare, as there is a large safety margin. If Danny is making a noise like he's hurting when he's sitting, it can be an indication of a hip or joint problem, and I would have him seen by a vet.
