Black Lab, hip problems, What to do?

[BadgeBunny]

My GSD, Jackie, was on Rimadyl when I adopted her but it made her really groggy so I switched her to Blue Buffalo dog food and Glucosamine/MSM tablets. She was a different dog and only got down in her hips again about 3 months before she passed away.

I will have to look when I get home. Can never remember the name of it, but in Edmond the only place that sells it is Farmers Grain.

That stuffs ingredient list looks very similar to what we give our dog(minus the barley, oatmeal, ect....)

I don't think people understand how important it is to feed dogs a healthy dog food, or they think it is all made equal and just get what is cheaper!! You are what you eat, eat good feel good, eat crappy feel crappy.

Toward the end she got really finicky and I bought a couple of books off of Amazon and started cooking her food for her. If she saw it on the stove she thought she was getting people food. Her favorite was rinsed, drained hamburger meat and oatmeal and these little peanut butter snacks ... Good grief, I miss her still ...

If anyone doubts that "regular" dog food is garbage then they need to drive by the Purina factory when it is fired up ... bleech ... that's a nasty-arse stench that comes from that place!

I miss her too. Each time I came by she was there to greet me.
