Is your senior dog struggling with arthritis or limping? In this video, Dr. Randy Aronson addresses a common concern for pet parents of aging dogs: what to do when standard supplements like glucosamine aren't enough. Using a case study of a 12-year-old Labradoodle, we explore the science of osteoarthritis and why reducing systemic inflammation is the first step toward healing. Dr. Randy discusses the importance of moving away from heavily processed kibble toward anti-inflammatory diets like freeze-dried, raw, or lightly cooked options to support joint health.

We also dive into specific, vet-recommended interventions that go beyond basic over-the-counter fixes. Learn why Omega-3 capsules are superior to bottled oils (to avoid oxidation and free radicals), the benefits of advanced collagen supplements like Jope, and how injectable treatments like Adequan can help cartilage retain moisture and "sponginess." Whether you're interested in physical rehabilitation, underwater treadmills, or simple at-home nutritional shifts, this guide provides a holistic, integrative approach to keeping your senior pet mobile and pain-free
