Glucosamine Chondroitin for Dogs

Glucosamine in powder form is much easier to administer, just mix it in with the pet food. We tried glucosamine with our two previous elderly pets, a dog and cat, and it worked very well, better than it did for us elderly humans. The pets became noticeably more mobile.

This is a powder, 1 teaspoonful a day, have tried a few others but this is the one that’s works best for my 12 year old dog. We will continue to use it.

My 6yr old Akita Ruby had an inflammation of the nerve in her back and slight arthritic symptoms in her hip, these were causing her to limp slightly on her hind leg when rising.She was prescribed a long-term anti-inflammatory and also had a course of hydrotherapy, with only slight improvement.I requested a change of medication and she was given high dose Rimadyl and was due to have the dose gradually titrated down to a maintenance dose over a period of a few weeks.I noticed an improvement with the Rimadyl very quickly- she stopped limping.However, because of the side effects I really wasn't keen on keeping her on long-term Rimadyl (or any other anti-inflammatory medication) if I could possibly help it, but I wanted to maintain the improvement.After some research, I decided to try this.She's been taking it for over a week and remains limp free.I give her 1 3/4 teaspoons as she weighs 40 kgs.It's a bit more than recommended but doesn't seem to have caused any unwanted side effects.She happily eats it mixed in with her breakfast.I have put it in a jar as recommended by other reviewers.I've given four stars as obviously it's still early days, and I have to credit the Rimadyl for working so well in the first placeThe only slight negative is that Ruby is now so well she seems to have regressed to puppyhood and galumphs around like a small hippopotamus, throwing objects which result in occasional breakages.But as long as she's happy I don't mind!

I have been using this for over a year now. My dog started to get arthritis and really slowed down, this brought a bounce back into his step. It really does work, whilst I was away for a couple of days my partner forgot to give it to him, he really struggled again, within a couple of days of restarting he is back to being active again and no more limping. So easy to use, sprinkle on your dogs food and mix in, no taste so they are not aware they are taking it.

My rottweiler is 11 and would struggle a lot and couldn't jump on the bed any more what so ever she just couldn't an gave up trying and she hobbled around and she would take about 25-30 minutes to get up in the morning out of her doggy bed. This has honestly gave her a new lease of life she jumps on the bed with ease and is finally excited to go for a walk again it's amazing I genuinly can not believe this product. I never leave reviews for products but I had to for this because I hope it will change many more dogs lives. Shes like a younger version of her self again and is so much more happy now she's not struggling of course!

Used this years ago in my elderly dog and noticed a difference, used it again on a different elderly dog and no difference

My 12 Jack Russell had recently started with a limp. The vet treated her for a strain and gave pain relief which really upset her tummy. Vet said to take her back if it didn't improve. The week went on and the limp stopped but I noticed back leg weakness and shaking. She stopped going upstairs, wouldn't get out of bed in he mornings and was very slow on walks.I did some research and suspect this wasn't a strain but the start of arthritis.I ordered this after reading about it in the internet.I'm only 2 and half week into giving the dog this but already seeing a massive difference. She is much more playful, she's back at normal speed on her walks and she's attempted the stairs on a couple of occasions.Although the weakness in her legs is still there it's no where near as bad and she doesn't seem in any pain anymore. I'm hoping to see further progress over he coming weeks. I have also started her on fish oil and got her an heated bed which are also meant to help with the symptoms.The only thing I will say is this did upset my dogs tummy for the first couple of days, I knocked down the dosage then built it back up to the recommended amount over a week or so and now she's fine with it.

My son's beautiful 14year old Malamute was staying with me for five weeks. He has athritis but when out walking he thinks he's two years old. Bear has not flinched , hobbled or winced once during his stay. It's fair to add that my son has him on this together with omega 3 oils and collagen.PS Bear's 15 years old in Feb 2019. It's also true about this extra large breed. Gentle giant and wonderful family pet.
