then let me offer a hasty health warning - listening to it as an audio book cost me a great deal of sleep

I got some supplements but they are much too big to hide and as I say she is wary by nature, she isn't a treat eater either, yes I might contact Mark thanks!

Mark is the expert here so perhaps a pm to him?

I tried Tiffany, who walks stiffly these days, with several of the treat type supplements, but she only liked the ones containing green mussel extract, and she's allergic to fish - they did seem to be working though before I had to give up on them when she got sores above her eyes

thanks desley, I've had a look, I don't think she will go for it but worth a try!!  she isn't good with new things but i'll try anything she just looks a bit sore

My vet uses J/D on her cat, quite a lot of senior dry foods do contain glucosamine/chondroitin. I would give Seraquin a try, I give Lucy them as treats, and she isn't easily tricked - they are meaty, so tend to go down well.

has anyone used any of the joint care/mobility diets with any success?  Tilly, who is 12 this year, is starting to look like she is struggling a bit, she is hesitant about stairs and when she first wakes up looks like she feels stiff, I can't give any oral supplements and she won't be tricked into eating anything!
