Hi, I am the proud owner of Liskeard, he is a 5 year old SBT. He is on a Slentrol diet treatment at the moment to assist with his on coming arthritis. We have chosen to take this option with our vet to assist with his further inevitable problems. Has anyone else been recommended this. In the last 8 months he has lost 7kg. He is naturally a big boy and was weighing in at 27kg. The vets want him down to 19kg and will then review him. He goes to weigh in classes every month. What are your thoughts on this?

Hi and welcome from me and my two

Hello - you could try switching to raw food. Also, add sardines to his diet. They are v good for joints. Diet in general can make a difference. Avoid grain.

Welcome to the forum from Bane and I Sorry no experience here either as Bane is only little!

Hiya from me and Moo.

Moo has quite severe arthritis in all six front joints. She is now fed Hills JD Diet calorie control and I have her on Freedom Forever Aloe Vera Gel (I actually swear by this as since being on it she has never needed any meds).

Photos will help with the supposed weight issue.
