Hi there. You can start Cloud on a joint supplement consisting of glucosamine and chondroitin-but this takes a while to show a lot of improvement. It is available in a canine formula and you can order from an online pet store or places like Amazon. If you can take him in to your veterinarian, they will prescribe you some medications to keep him much more comfortable and potentially discuss surgery options if his knees are the only thing giving him some issues. Hope this helps!
