I have everyone on 1000 mg of Glucosamine daily. I generally start with a 2000 mg dosage for a month or so, then drop it down to 1000. I give glucosamine from WalMart, just plain capsules you can either give whole in a spoonful of yogurt twice a day, or I open the capsule and pour the gluco over some wet food when I feed. Works wonders for them. Also, you can go to most feed stores (horse feed) and find a product called ActiFlex for dogs. It is a great product for joint issues. I give the horse version to my horses and they are awesome on it.
Exercise and glucosamine have kept my girls from surgery, but like it was mentioned above, this may be a knee issue, not a hip issue. In any case, a good joint supplement is in order.
