Original!! Or cooked soft. Eliminate all starchy foods like rice, potatoes, etc. Starch makes inflammation worse. Went through this with my 12 year old lab mix. Arthritis was so bad that I thought I would have to put her to sleep. Change her diet to live food, use natural anti-inflammatory and she is like a new dog!!

My daughter has arthritis and hip dysplasia. She takes tramadol and a joint tonic. Two years ago, I started making food that she ate in the morning and evening, then I gave Lamb/dried rice. I only give tramadol when she’s having a bad day.
