Hi I want to pick folks brains on herbal potions for arthritis in the older dog. She can not get glucosamine or cod liver oil due to a fish allergy. She has a bio flo collar and used CSJ herbs is there any other potions (non Fishy) that I can give her. She has anti infamitory from the vet to use when required but with the cold weather and icey walks she is needing to take them more and I was wondering if there was an alternative. Thanks Lorain and Callie
Have you spoken to anyone in a Holland & Barrett shop? My husband cannot take anything with fish/shellfish in it & had recently been thinking abt taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin until we saw the labels abt allergies. The woman in Paisley's Holland & Barrett says that you can get something (not sure if it is still called Glucosamine or under a different label) that is the same but does not have fish/shellfish in it. Of course it is dearer than normal Glucosamine surprise surprise!!!! Maybe worth a try?
Hi I have been asking around and I have come up with this http://www.velvetenergy.com/ I have e-mailed them to confirm there is no fish extract in it. No answer so far but the web site looks promosing. Lorain and Callie
Hi lorrain Just read your question. Don't know if you have an answer yet but Higher Nature are good for supplements and stuff. They do a vegetarian Glucosamine so therefore fish free.They are mail order. I have got stuff from them for myself and the dogs. I would recommend them as they are not expensive and deliver in a day or two. Telephone number is 0800 458 4747 Also, you could try accupuncture from a Vet who is qualified to do it. I found great results with my greyhound. Good luck Pauline
