My dog has swollen joints from training. What food should I feed?

Question

Shelby the pitbull, 20 months old has been diagnosed with gout. Although vet said this is one of the rare cases. Her joint swells (visible fluid around the joint) due to intense weight pull training. She was given pain reliver for the meantime. I was advised to change her diet and add glucosamine supplement on her diet. Right away i stopped feeding her raw meat and bully max supp. Can you suggest any food to help her strengthen her joints and improve her health? thanks

I'm not familiar with gout as a condition for dogs, so this answer is for joint health but not specific to a dog with gout. There is a food called J/D made by Hills that contains joint supplements that could helpful for her. Your vet will need to prescribe it and can make sure that it makes sense for her intestinal situation. Otherwise, a general adult diet from Hills, Purina, or Royal Canin with a glucosamine supplement would be good.
