Our 10yo Lab gets a fish oil pill and glucosamine chew 2x per day. I'd say they both help for sure, despite my scepticism. The fish oil pill definitely makes her coat healthier and the glucosamine seems to have lessened her stiffness and limping after long / hard plays. We are certainly trying to take it a bit easier on her as she gets older, but they seem to be worth it.
Iggy had her back knee ACL repaired and she shows no signs of the injury 2 years later.
It's also key, just like people, to keep their weight down. Helps alot.
