Vets can't seem to agree that Glucosamine helps at all. Studies go both ways. It's supposed to help lubricate the joints, but again there's no hard proof of this. That being said, I give it to my Rottweiler who had her hips basically removed (salvage surgery). Try to get it in the HCl (Hydrochloride) form and not in the sulfate form. It thought to be absorbed a little better.
I also use a human painkiller called Meloxicam on the same dog. It has to be dosed down for dogs but is much cheaper than the Veterinary equivilent when prescribed this way. Many dogs can get away with getting it every other day and it's not too bad on their stomach in this fashion.
Your Vet is the only person that can really help you here. If you listen to anyone on GFY without contacting a professional, you're making a bad choice.
