      this is along with the question I just submitted. we have a black lab and the vet and many others have commented on how shiny his coat is and how healthy he is. we feed him Acana Regional and he eats it up with no coaxing and he likes it dry with a dish of water on the side.

      our dog has experienced a bit of joint problem and my wife is supplementing his daily feeding with Dr. Maggies glucosamine. we give him 4 tablets daily 500mg each tablet. Is that ok or should we cut him back because of the amount that he gets in his daily feeding. How many mg’s should he get daily to meet his need to maintain healthy joints?
      thank you
