I would suggest not using herbal remedies in dogs with Arthritis - these remedies have not been tested and there is no evidence that they will do anything to alleviate the symptoms of arthritis. However, there are several studies that have shown herbal supplements to interfere with prescription medication, sometimes fatally, so any herbal supplement you give has the potential to interact with any medication your veterinarian may prescribe.
Outside of herbs and other ingested medications, however, there are a variety of things you can do to help your dog manage arthritis pain. You can provide a deeper, softer bed (if he will use it) - this can help cushion the joints overnight and keep your dog from tightening up. Providing warm heat, such as through a rice bag or a pillow fluffed in the dryer for 10-15 minutes can also help. Gentle massage and moderate low-impact exercise, such as walks on grassy areas, can help keep the joint moving. Some dogs really enjoy swimming, which is another great way to keep the joints moving without putting a lot of stress on them.

Can you give your dog yucca root for arthritis?
I will strongly advise that you do not - there is no evidence that yucca root has any beneficial effects on arthritis and it may have negative side effects that could cause a medical emergency. If you believe your dog would benefit from medication to alleviate arthritis pain, you should make an appointment with your veterinarian. He/she can figure out what is causing the arthritis and if indicated can provide a prescription for medication to help your dog feel better.
