What supplements should I give my pit bull?

Anyone give your pits any kind of supplements--like Muscle-Up or Best in Show? What about hip and joint supplements I know pits tend to have hip issues.

Only reason i ask is i want what's best for my best friend. And to me who better to ask but a group of pit owners

Thanks

Hi John (and Glock)

I believe that the right supplements can make a real difference in your pit's overall health. However, I don't consider myself an expert on which ones are best.

Fortunately, Janie Knetzer wrote an a great article that appeared in the January 2011 issue of Bully for You! entitled: From Puppyhood Thru the Golden Years: Ten Tips for Optimal Health. In it, she addresses the use of supplements as well as other key factors that promote canine health.

I think you'll find the article really helpful. And, if you haven't yet subscribed to Bully For You!, there's a sign-up box in the right column of this page. It's free.
