I’m sure you can look up natural herb remedies or something, for dogs of course.
Or tell your vet you don’t want something to mess up her liver.

I am confused as to what you are looking for… a pain reliever, or something to actually help her joints?

You can put her on a glucosamine supplement (human grade from Walgreens or whatever) to help her joints, but that won’t help if she is in any pain.

Aspirin can be used, but ask your vet for dosage, of course.

We sell a product called D.G.P. (Dog Gone Pain) It’s all natural and very effective.
There is also Rejuvenate (same idea as above)

You can slowly rebuild her spongy tissue between the bones and joints too, and that should help alleviate her pain. Glucosamine hydrochloride (2000mg daily) plus 1000mg Vit C daily should help after about a month.

There’s also a dog treat by “Zukes” called “Hip Action” that can be very helpful in alleviating arthritis pain but again, it takes a bit of time to become effective.

Good Luck

NEVER EVER GIVE MEDICATION MENT FOR HUMANS TO DOGS, UNLESS THE VETS RECOMMEND ITS, BUT ONLY ON YOUR OWN VETS ADVICE.

Also just because something natural and aparently safe, does NOT neccessarily mean they are safe, SO don’t be fooled by the term natural. Remember many natural things are toxic to dogs!

The only things that i believe you can get without a prescription and i would recommend asking the vet before even using them! Because I do not think they cure the arthritis-they may releave a small amount of the dogs pain.

GO for glucosamine. I also have an older dog, She just turned 13 last month. She has arthritis in her hocks. The vet told me to give her 1/2 tablet once daily, since she is a medium size 1 table would be better for your Rottie. She would spit it out, so I would grind in up into her food. That way I know that she is getting it. Also we switched her to senior food that has it in the ingredients. If she is better at eating any kind of treats, they sell them in treat form. Either from the local pet store realtor like Petsmart or Petco or online like Omaha Vaccine Co.
She is now acting like a puppy at times running around vs having her crying just to be able to go outside to the bathroom.
Hope this helps out.

Cortaflex capsules worked brilliantly for my Dobermann when he developed arthritis. If you have canine insurance you may be able to claim for the cost on your policy.
