Hi,
My name is Tanja and this is my first post to this board. I am currently owned by 2 male German Shepherds... Stormy and Niko (aka Reino) and also 3 house cats. I've been reading about supplements... Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Ester C etc. and am feeling a little confused
My first question is: What supplements should I be giving to my dogs? Storm is 7 1/2 with a slight thyroid condition, otherwise healthy. Niko is 16 months and is healthy.
What would be the correct dosage for a 105lb dog as well as an 80lb dog? I know that Stormy (105lb) needs to loose weight and is on thyroid meds now since being diagnosed a couple of months ago.
Also, suggestions on best places to buy the supplements??
I have used a liquid glucosamine called K9 Level 5000 and was wondering if this stuff looked like a good supplement. It is pricey. Here is a link for the
ingredients:

Both dogs eat Canidae dog food. I did buy a Norwegian Kelp supplement which was recommended by the groomer where I train. I actually think this stuff is very good. Their coats are nice and not flaky. The heat during the winter months makes their skin a little dry and the kelp seems to be helping!!
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated ;D
Thank you!!!
Tanja
