Should I give my young dog hip and joint supplements for prevention?

Question

I have a 2 year old greyhound lab mix. I was wondering if I should start her on hip and joint supplements now to prevent issues when she gets older?

Hello, thank you for your question. It would not be wrong to start your dog on a supplement to help lubricate her joints and prevent/slow the development on arthritis. You could start with Cosequin or another glucosamine supplement. These can be purchased online/over the counter at your local pet store. Additional ways to help minimize the development of arthritis include maintaining a healthy weight and active lifestyle. Hope this helps!
