No. There are foods that have glucosamine in them but nowhere near enough to make even the slightest difference to a dog with arthritis.
What your dog needs is a trip to the vet for x-rays to determine how bad her arthritis is. The vet can then tell you if she needs prescription meds to keep her pain free or if you can give her glucosamine chondroitin with MSM and how much.
She deserves the best care and doesn’t have to be in pain – just take her to her vet.

something with omega 3 added. It is good for joints, heart, skin, etc. Very good for arthritic dogs.

I’ve only heard of putting ground aspirin in her food.

There are no dog foods that have arthritic treatment pains in them. What you need to do is take her to the vet. The vet needs to find out haw bad her arthritis is and then put her on pain meds.
