Treating dog with arthritis?

We gave something similar to my golden retriever who recently passed away this January at 13yrs of age.

At one point she has extreme difficulty in getting up. She tolerated the meds just fine and they helped, but only to a point.

What really really helped her was laser treatments. There was a difference after the first time. She started to go up steps again with a lot more ease and got up better. There was a huge decline if she ever missed a treatment.

She eventually passed away because of an infection of a tumor (well, we put her to sleep, she was in a great deal of pain) on her belly which wasn’t able to be removed anymore.

I think the laser treatments helped her a great deal towards the end of her life.
