They seem to be in quite good shape for their age. :-)

It's some sort of glucosamine thing for dogs, I think. I had my vet friend write it down, just so I wouldn't have to remember the pronunciation. :)

Oh yes! Glucosamine can definitely work wonders (for a while). Let's hope they'll be back at full speed soon, then. :-)

Good news!

My cats are due a visit and I'm frightened! They're fifteen years old, just like your Lou.

Your pups seem to be in good condition (apart from the arthritis). To slow down the arthritis you might want to start to put green-lipped mussel in his food. You can get it pulverized and you just sprinkle it in with the food, stir once and ready for Lou, President of the Hearts' :)
This is how we treat the arthritis of Cenour's *lucky paw*.
