Vet Review

Similar to the original Cosequin for dog formula, I have found that many picky canines will prefer the Cosequin Soft Chews over the original formula, and it is in those cases that I will often reach for this product first. This wonderful product contains the same glucosamine and chondroitin of the original formula that significantly supports joint health. I have only rarely seen diarrhea in dogs when using this product, however it¿s easy to administer formulation does make it one of my favorites. I therefore give it an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5.

One of the most versatile and effective products I have used in practiceis Super Joint Enhancer from 1800petmeds. I have found it both helpful in older pets with increasing stiffness and spinal or joint arthritis, but also helpful in those pets recovering from surgeries. Compared to other products on the market it is quite cost effective with its synergistic combination of glucosamine and chondroitan sulfate and MSM. While relief is sometimes seen very quickly, more commonly it takes several weeks to see results with a nutritional supplement like this. I also find that it works best when used in conjunction with other nutritional supplements for the joints such as the antioxidant proanthozone, as well as fatty acids like be well from 1800petmeds. The only disadvantages I have seen with use of this product in my experience is occasional diarrhea in sensitive pets, and even more rarely problems with sugar regulation in diabetic animals. Otherwise I highly recommend this wonderful product!!!! I give this product an overall ranking of 4.5 out of 5.

One of my favorite comprehensive joint supplements, synoviG3 has an excellent high concentration of glucosamine, MSM, creatine, and Perna Canaliculus. I have always favored products with perna canaliculus on the ingredient list, as this ingredient has been shown clinically in human trials to be very effective for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. With regular use, this product can not only support joint function and flexibility, but also help strengthen joint cartilage as well. The addition of antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, not only enhances the efficacy of this product, but also has other health benefits for the heart, brain and kidneys. Another excellent benefit of this product is the availability of it in several formulations to fit the needs of any dog. I have yet seen any side effects when using this product. The only drawback to this product is the somewhat high cost. I give this product an overall ranking of a 4.5 out of 5.
