We used to have a 128 lb Alaskan Malamute that lived to be really old. He was healthy, except he had hip issues that made it hard to get around. We used stuff like glucosamine for a while and then it wasn't sufficient. We had reached the point that the vet said there were 2 pain killers that could help him: one was cheap but he'd basically sleep away the rest of his life and one was very expensive, but would keep him active. We didn't like either. My husband's Mom sold Shaklee vitamins and he'd heard someone helped their arthritis with alfalfa, so we tried it (since he was adult human sized, we gave him the human dose). It worked as well, if not better than either pain killer. He lived to 13.5 years with a 9-12 life expectancy, so it worked well.
I don't know if it will work for all dogs with joint issues, but it really helped our dog, so it is worth trying the alfalfa. It is cheap.
Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏🏼💜 in what form did you give your dog alfalfa?
I sprout alfalfa…and could mix it under her food. Or is it the seeds powdered?
I will try everything natural before chemicals.
She is also so healthy and playful. Also the pain in her joints seems to come and go. Haven’t found out a pattern yet.
It was tablets. I just mixed them in with his food. If you already sprout alfalfa, you could try just mixing that in with her food. If it doesn't work, you could try supplements.
Thank you. I will do this for sure... She is not picky at all with her food....So I already mix in her food rosehip powder daily. She also drinks barley grass juice almost every morning :) And MSM in her water... I will try to get alfalfa powder for sure. It is more dense and easier to mix into her food as sprouts I guess.

Trying to zap you, but gives me an error (failed to get invoice)...
Life has gotten the better of me and I still haven't finished setting up my alby hub.
