Hi Judy,
I love dog lovers and am sorry that yours is feeling his age. I second the benefits of Glucosamine Chondrotin. My 12 year old labrador had knee surgery about 1 1/2 years ago and he had a VERY long recovery. He had accupuncture once a week for about 10 weeks. I so hoped it would help him but he hated it and it didn't seem to work for him. I have friends who swear by it, however, and you know (because dogs don't lie) that there is no placebo affect.
I've heard that Glucosamine and Chondrotin takes about six months to have any real benefit but for my dear dog, it has made him into a very happy and spry old guy. Best of luck.
