So, it's not "official" but it's extremely likely that my 70lb Weimaraner has Hip Dysplasia as all the signs are pretty obvious-- which is probably why her owners gave her up at the pound. But the vet was nice enough not to "diagnose" her because we're still looking for insurance that covers this. She's only 2 years old and I've started her on some glucosamine/chondritin but apparently it's not enough.
The vet suggested 2000mg of Glucosamine a day but I can't find any dosage at Petsmart/Petco that are higher than 500mg. Not sure what brands out there are reputable. I'm looking at this:

However, HUMAN glucosamine-chondroitin dosage is much higher/cheaper and I'm wondering if it's SAFE to give to her.
