If this is a glucosamine supplement he should probably take it forever as long as he does not have any negative side effects like diarrhea or stomach upset since he will always have a luxating patella and be predisposed to developing arthritis. If your veterinarian recommended starting a supplement it would be best to see how long they would want Rascal to be taking the supplement since they know his individual case best.
