I have a 2 year old lab female. She is in great shape and completely healthy, but thinking about getting her on supplements just to help her out as she ages. She was a rescue as a puppy, so I have zero idea her lineage, or anything else. All I know is she is a phenomenal dog with lots of energy.
Currently I feed purina proplan year round. I try to run her 4-10 miles 3X a week, plus fetch exercises couple days a week. During hunting season we stop formal training and runs, but hunt 5-6 days a week.
Had our annual checkup 2 weeks ago and the vet says she is looks great and zero issues with our training plan. I forgot to ask about supplements, and don’t really want to pay for a TeleVet appointment just to discuss supplements when I know there’s others that may have just as much knowledge and personal experience with them. .
Because she runs so much, I’m most worried about joints as she ages. Does anyone feed any special supplements, or just a basic dog glucosamine? What do you prefer/suggest for active working dogs?
I was looking into alpha dog nutrition line, but am open to other suggestions.
Thanks!
