Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | spayed | 2 years and 2 months old | 55 lbs

At what age can I start my dog on a hip and joint supplement? I know she will end up with hip and joint issues just want to make sure I can give her some preventative care for as long as possible. And what is a good one to use?

I usually start dogs at risk when they are adults. I recommend Dasuquin Advanced. I would also start an Omega3 supplement to reduce any joint inflammation. Keeping your dog fit and lean is more important than any supplements. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Bella.
