Dog Arthritis Treatment

My 9 year old dog has arthritis. I’m going to start giving her glucosamine to help. She’s about 104 pounds and the glucosamine I have is Glucosamine HCl, 1500 mg per tablet. My vet said one per day would be fine, but I also read that doubling the dose for the first 1-2 weeks helps. So would it be okay to give her 2 tablets per day instead of 1? Or would that hurt her?

Call your vet and ask him. They make aspirin for dogs, you could get that and give it to her as recommended on the bottle.
