We put our old lab/chou mix on some arthritus meds when he was about 9-10 years old. It gave him another 3+ years of good life. I really miss old rex, but he was an outdoor dog ,85lbs, and lived 13 great years. Only dog I know that would look up in the trees to find squirrels. I am not sure what the med was, but it really helped his back legs and back.
