Here are some of the best supplements for joint health, plus specific product options from Pets’ Station to consider, with direct links.
1. Glucosamine & Chondroitin
These are key building blocks for cartilage and connective tissue. They help with repairing joint wear, maintaining flexibility, and reducing pain from arthritis. (Reference:Cornell – Joint supplements & orthopedic conditions, VCA – Glucosamine Chondroitin Combination)
