    Hi

    Looking to change from Hill’s J/D joint care, to a grain free product. My dog was very ill for a month probably do to lyme borreliosis . We’re of the meds (antibiotics and adrenocortical hormone) and recovered, however with stiff joints especially in hear rear legs after laying down, and not quite the same motivation to play and run with her son (7y), and inability to jump as before.
    However things are doing somewhat better than just after the recovery, we’re doing an hour walk/run in her pace only on soft soil like in the forest. We supplement Hills with joint supplement powder containing (Glycosaminoglycans, Proteoglycans, Organic sulfur, Green-lipped mussel, Collagen II), turmeric with bioperine, Omega 3 (EPA/DHA) and the popular CBD oil 30 mg pr. day, dogs weight 30 kg/66 lbs.

    I’m not certain that I’m on the right path her, and looking at first to find another base food instead of hills full of grain.
    I’ve found Wolfsblut as the best substitute and like another pair of eyes on it.

    What are your thoughts about this product?
    Also, i’d like some advice on the following
    – The need if any, to supplement this kind of food with additionally or other nutrition.
    – Exercise, I know shorter and more frequent walk is advisable, however she is responding rather well on 1 hour long walk a day.
    – If you know about another joint care dry food or any other advice, whom you have good experience with, I’m all ears, however needs to be sold in Europe.

    Thanks for your time
