Default Duralactin use

I recently added an 11 year old rescued German Shepherd to my household and she is somewhat stiff in her movements (as is expected). There are many supplements available and I wondered if anyone has used Duralactin canine with any success for joint support?

Many thanks for any advice,
Shannon

With my elderly G.S.Ds i always used Glucosamine and Chondroitin along with a starflower oil capsule.This works really well and they always had beautiful coats as well.

I have a 12 1/2 year old, and the only thing that has worked for her is sea mussel plus. I get it at www.vitacost.com If you check it out, you will have to type in sea mussel in their search box. It's done wonders for her!!!!

My last shepherd we gave her Deramaxx for her hips and joints. It worked great but the only thing is it's price.

Default Duralactin use?

Has anyone used Duralactin? With other senior and dysplastic dogs, I have used combinations of glucosamine, chondroitin, glycoflex, rimadyl, deramax, Nupro Joint and tramadol. The reason that I am asking about Duralactin is that I would like to try something different with this dog and wondered if anyone has found that it helped their dog or dogs.

I used Duralactin with my senior Golden. She had DJD, arthritis and spondylosis. I think it helped me avoid NSAIDs with her for a while, although I did eventually have to use them.
I also used DLPA.
