Joint supplment for my 11yr old pitbull?

My almost 11yr old pitbull is starting to feel her age especially with the cold winter coming in and she is starting to get stiff, the vet recommended putting her on a joint supplement but didn’t really recommend a particular brand. I’ve been looking around and I’m looking at the Cosequin DS and the Canine Complete Joint Mobility….I know cosequin is the more popular supplement and one of my horses is actually on one of the cosequin products but the CCJM supplement seems to have more of the same ingredients as well as MSM. Anyone have any insight on these two products???

The best supplements for dog joints, bones, muscles and cartilages are supposed to be

* Glucosamine sulphate which is a crucial element in the support and maintenance of healthy cartilage.
* Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil’s Claw) – Scientific research has confirmed the benefits of Devil’s Claw in supporting muscle, cartilage and joint health. and its efficacy and tolerance of Harpagophytum procumbens versus diacerhein in treatment of osteoarthritis.
* Calcium fluoride (6cH) is a biochemic tissue salt which helps to support routine elasticity to all cells and body tissues and maintain easy movement in the body.
* Arthrospira platenis (Spirulina) is a single celled micro-organism found in the sea and is widely used as a source of chlorophyll. Widely used for its nutritive properties, Spirulina contains protein, vitamins (including B12 and folic acid) and carotenoids. This sea algae has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years as a tonic to support energy and vitality, as well as healthy liver and immune system functioning and all around systemic health.

These natural remedies can help to support a healthy immune system, encourage systemic cleansing (important for healthy joints and muscles), support strength in the skeletal system and generally support the overall health of your pet.
