How can I help my old Golden Retriever with joint pain and mobility?

Question

I have a 13 year old Golden Retriever. He is getting older I know but I am hoping there is something I can give him that will help with his joints. He’s moving really slow, having a really hard time getting up and he just drops when he lays down. Is there anything I can do to help him?

I hate to hear Scrappy is slowing down. My top joint supplements are Dasuquin and Duralactin. Either one to start is fine. Putting him on an omega-3 fatty acid would also be beneficial. Just make sure to get a dog version as the human versions can have xylitol which is toxic to pets. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
