That product is fine but it is not addressing all the issues with the joints. This is just fish oil (which is fine) but he will need something that contains glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM to be of any real benefit. I think this would be more beneficial although you could do both. http://www.zooplus.com/shop/dogs/supplements_specialty_food/bones_joints/bayer/635754 Hope this helps.
