Leg tremors or shaking

My 13 yr old Jack russell's legs shake when standing, especially if he is alert. Vet says - common in Jack Russells. is there a homeopathic for this?

Dogs can have leg tremors for various reasons. If your vet feels there is no medical problem causing this it may for example be nerves, in which case no medical therapy is needed.

At age 13, your dog is older and considering a natural comprehensive canine vitamin supplement would be helpful to support his bones, joints ands overall health and wellness.
