What is a supplement for dog joints that really works?

My 12 yr old Norfolk terrier walks fine around the house and garden but frequently limps (nearside front) and even occasionally stumbles when on a proper walkies. Mentioned it to vet at annual checkup and was told it was probably age related as nothing obviously wrong. Thinking of adding a supplement to feed. There are loads out there but which actually work? Any actual experiences and recommendations would be appreciated.

Cortaflex is excellent http://www.caninecort...IaB2LACFY5pfAodECGczg and Amazon often sell it cheaper ... have used it for dogs and horses - and it always helped. There is a human version too.
My dog has got like this recently, I'm going to try him on glucosamine and chrondroitin.
Yumove by Yumega. You could also try a Bioflow collar.
Another vote for Yumove from me.
i I always gave my dogs a cod liver oil capsule every day.
does anyone know of a good equivalent for cats I could try?
My dog has a Seatone every day (in his dinner). It's extract of green lipped muscle and is excellent for joints. Buy from Health Shop.
Yumove is suitable for cats too, but as its a tablet you might prefer to use a liquid version on the food.
There is a human version of Yumove too!

I feel that this is rather offhanded and perhaps another Vet's opinion is warranted.
