Not dog food but you can add salmon oil to their food and give your dog glucosamine and corydalis for joint/muscle pain. (My brother is an Oriental Medicine Doctor and had us give these to our dog that had hip dysplasia, a collapsed trachea. Our dog was adopted at age 15 years old with these issues and the original owners gave him to me because they were told he only had 2 weeks left to live and they couldn’t stand the thought of him dying on them. We had him for 5 months and he was well loved, he had a stroke but died in my arms, knowing he was adored.)

This is not a food recommendation but a new monthly shot that helps dogs with mobility issues specifically targeting arthritis is now available in Canada called Librela. I don’t know where you live but something to check with your vet. Using it on my old dog and seeing positive results. Love seeing him more able.

I would order some Duralactin online- it did wonders for both my boys! Patented protein- worth a try! Also, I gave my boys cartrophen injections- also fantastic results without the liver damage from anti inflammatory meds.

Managing arthritis in huskies requires a holistic approach that emphasizes a well-balanced, anti-inflammatory diet. Integrating ingredients rich in fish oil for dogs, antioxidants, and natural supplements like glucosamine for dogs and chondroitin can significantly improve joint health and mobility. Consult with a veterinarian to personalize your husky’s dietary plan, accounting for breed, size, and specific health requirements. By incorporating these food recommendations and maintaining a healthy weight, you will not only alleviate your dog’s arthritis symptoms but also boost their overall well-being, ensuring a happier, more comfortable life for your husky.
