Pain Meds or Supplements for Doggy Arthritis

Hi, sorry for the off-topic thread but I don't know where to turn. You can PM me if this is against forum rules. My mom's dog, who is 11, has seemingly developed a sudden case of arthritis pain. She may have been arthritic before, but it didn't affect her activities until this summer. The vet my mom goes to has prescribed Galliprant. Does anyone have any experience with this medication or can you suggest anything else? Galliprant is so expensive, at over $26 for a 14-day supply and my mom is worried about long-time use. Cheaper, or at least safer and effective, options would be very much appreciated. I've done a little bit of research, and it doesn't look like we can get Galliprant cheaper (or very much cheaper) than that. Does glucosamine work?

Also, Mom is open to going to another vet if necessary. She's not totally sold on her current vet because he failed to be able to diagnose Addison's Disease in her other dog (who is now deceased ). A different vet, who diagnosed and treated the Addison's, is a little more inconvenient to get to, but Mom wants to get the best care for her dog. She is such a sweetie!

Thanks for any and all advice!

Donna
