Nikki has luxating patella but she doesn't need surgery (yet), no pain, no often limping, and she also has an unknown allergy (she licks hers paws all the time). I have changed her food recently and now I am looking for a supplement that could help her with those 2 issues at the same time (joint and skin health). Does fish oil will help ? Or is better fish oil plus glucosamine ? I also prefer chewies rather that a pill/liquid supplement. Thank you !

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would put her on a Glucosamine AND Omega 3 fish oils. I like Dasquinn treats and for fish oils I prefer VRS Omega Benefits but it is a liquid. Otherwise try Nordic naturals. The Omega fish oils helps the joints and skin and the glucosamine is just for the joints. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=34361 https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=24785 https://www.vrshealth.com/feline-products/omegacat/ I hope this helps!
