Thanks for all the comments guys. He's had little walk with hubby this morning and managed ok . I'm going to add an extra tablet in his tea tonight and see if it helps. I don't really want to go down the road of pain relief until he needs it because he doesn't seem to be in any pain at the moment it's just stiffness to his rt hip. I will monitor to see how he goes this week but if I feel he is struggling will probably ask the vet about a steroid injection. She did say that we did have plenty of options. I have got to admit I did have a bit of a wobble over the weekend worrying about him and his age , I think it was my anxiety kicking in and I was overthinking 🥲but he is OK 🐶I think we have to keep him moving but reduce the exercise which he will be pleased about ..

I think I'm going try the joint chews as well from asda - he has had them before but he is becoming so fussy now with his food / treats but I will give them a try.

Phoebe gets Riaflex Joint Plus Pro (which contains :- MSM, Glucosamine HCl, Green Lipped Mussel, Chondroitin Sulphate, Hyaluronic Acid) and 2x Riaflex Canine Boswellia Serrata Capsules. Hope this gives you some ideas of the kinds of things that might help joints.
I have recently started a NSAID with her. Phoebe does not have known joint issues like Gypsy had but at over 12yrs old she now needs something to help!

Well just a little update regarding Riley’s joints. We increased his supplements to 3 capsules about 1 week ago and he is like a new dog. He had a walk everyday last week which was unusual to go every day but when I had walked Elsa Riley was waiting at the kitchen door for me 😀Friday he even tried to get me run a little bit. The extra capsule has definitely made a difference and put a step in his stride 🐶🐾🐾he also seems to have a bit more energy.
