I do like supplementing with a high quality product containing glucosamine and omega fatty acids. Here's a good one. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-hip-and-joint/cosequin-ds-maximum-strength-plus-msm-and-omega-3s-chewable-tablets If you're concerned about Babe's joints, I do recommend having him evaluated by a vet. Vets will have access to much more effective pain control options, and can also evaluate Babe's weight to make sure he's not putting excess stress on his joints. Hope this helps!
