20 Best Dog Foods for a Boxer with Arthritis or Joint Pain
I’m not sure there is a food that is recommended for arthritis, but it’s a good question for the vet. There are lots of meds, both traditional and holistic, that can help as can PT, stretching, massage, laser, acupuncture, keeping the pet lean etc etc.

Raw!! Or gently cooked. Remove all carbs such as rice, potatoes etc. Carbs make inflammation much worse. Went through this with my 12 year old lab mix. Arthritis so bad I thought I would have to put her to sleep. Changed her diet to raw, use natural anti-inflammatories and she is like a new dog!!

My girl has arthritis and hip dysplasia. She takes tramadol and a joint supplement. Two years ago I began making food that she gets morning and evening and then I give Lamb/rice dry. I only give the tramadol when she is having a bad day.
