Good advise, I started taking "Old" people pills as I call them when I was about 35. I only take them as needed.

I took him to the Vet and they found nothing wrong.
He's old and thats that they said.
I found a CBD oil made just for dogs.
2 weeks of the recommended dose twice a day for his size and I have a new dog.
No more limp and slow walking,he bounces now like a pup.
Hops up on the bed or couch in one leep.
He now brings the ball to me and wants to chase it.
It's amazing
Ask the vet about Doggie glucosamine, might be a better and cheaper option. Personally I have done a very extensive medium/long term 9 month daily CBD treatment program for pain control, and I can say for me it did work. So, I'm not against giving it to your dog, I'm just saying it is very common for pet owners to give elderly dogs glucosamine. This is the first I have heard of CBD for dogs. If it works for him I'm happy to hear of this, my Pitbull is getting close to your dogs age.

lol, Opiates won't do anything for your pains except mask them for a while, then you will build a tolerance and need an increase, this is where the problem lies. Opiates merely block "Some" nerve pain at the base of your skull before they get to your brain's pain receptor inputs. As your tolerance to Opiate builds, your chemical dependency to Opiate increases.
I would strongly suggest that you try this, "Glucosamine/Chondroitin", buy at Costco, for at least 3 weeks and see if that makes a difference, I'll be willing to bet it will. Opiate's will do nothing for your aching joints! Infact studies have shown exactly the opposite Opiates will make you hurt worse when you stop taking them, so they say...

In all seriousness OP, is the CBD oil for dogs a topical or oral supplement? I have an aging Shepard with arthritis, i would be interested in trying it with him, do you have a product link?
I believe it would be oral, doggies= furry, they are describing it as "Oil" which typically is a reference to Simpson Oil, Rick Simpson If I recall correctly developed this method. You would not want CBD Oil on your dogs fur!
Now for Human use, Topical by all means is an old school Mexican Arthritic solution made with herb and rubbing alcohol. I have never tried it, but a number of my Mexican friends say it is a common treatment for some elderly that live in rural area's. Just rub onto skin until it dries, follow up with clean alcohol so your not "Sticky" lol, they say it works!
