No, daily ginger is not recommended. While a tiny pinch of fresh ginger can occasionally help settle an upset stomach, giving it regularly can irritate your dog's digestive tract. Over time, this could lead to chronic stomach upset or mouth irritation. For managing joint issues, there are much safer and more effective supplements and diets specifically formulated for dogs. Offer plain ginger only very rarely as a one-off, and consult your vet for a proper long-term management plan.
