Vet Review

Glyco-Flex I is a wonderful product is for those pets with early or mild arthritis. Not only does this formula have the Perna Canaliculus of the original classic formula, but additional glucosamine added helps add to the joint stabilizing effect of this supplement. This is one of the most common products I will use in younger dogs as a preventative supplement, or dogs/breeds predisposed to hip or other joint dysfunction. For pets that have more serious joint problems. I will often use the more advanced formula Glycoflex II or Glycol-flex III products. However for those pets with mild or early arthritis this will be one of the first products I will reach for off of the shelf. I only rarely see diarrhea in treated pets, and am happy to give this product an overall ranking of 4.5 out of 5.

Another wonderful joint treat for dogs are the Greenies Joint Care Dog treats. These treats include a synergistic mixture of glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega 3 fatty acids for healthy joints. The amino acids in the product help maintain normal cartilage health. I also love the fact that these treats contain the ingredient the green-lipped mussel, which has been shown in human research trials to be effective for management of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Additional minerals of zinc, copper and manganese also support healthy joint function and mobility. I give these tasty treats an overall rating of 4 out of 5.
