Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What you can do is feed her a joint diet such as Hill's Science Diet j/d which has all the joint supplements and is usually palatable and dogs like it. If not, you can get supplements that are pills and not chewables that you can administer in food or perhaps by pilling her. Good luck and have a great day!
