Osteo biflex can be given to dogs safely, but there are a number of products formulated specifically for dogs that work well, the best of these in my opinion is Cosequin. It's important to have him checked by your vet if you haven't already done so to determine the cause of lameness or joint problems so the underlying cause can be managed correctly. Your vet is also the best person to ask about the correct dosage of any over the counter medication you're considering giving your dog. Adding fish oil to his diet will help protect and ease joint pain and a product called Adequan, an injection available from your vet is excellent for slowing and healing arthritis.
