Ease Spot’s stiff joints

-

If you notice that your older dog is walking stiffly or seems less eager to head up and down the steps in your house, it’s likely that his achy joints are acting up. To help him feel better, steep 1 tsp. of dried rosemary leaves in 1 cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Let cool, then strain and mix 1⁄8 tsp. of the infusion per 20 pounds of body weight into his food for two weeks. The herb contains substances that ease the inflammati­on that causes tender, painful joints.
