My senior dog's arthritis pain isn't improving. What should I do?

Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | spayed | 11 years and 2 months old | 55 lbs

My 11 year old border collie called Tilly has stiff joints. I have been giving her a Flexadin tablet everyday for over 2 years now but the tablets now seem to be getting less and less effective. Could you advise me what is the best product to give her to help with the problem

It sounds at this stage like she may need prescription antiinflammatory medications from your vet. I recommend a specialist diet such as hills mobility also which is fully supplemented to reduce arthritis pain
