Glyco-Flex Soft Chews contain the same formula as Glyco-Flex chewable tablets, but are now available as a delicious chicken liver flavored soft chew. Each Glyco Flex Soft Chew contains Perna, Glucosamine, MSM, Dimethylglycine (DMG), and Manganese to help maintain healthy joints. Made in the U.S.A.
For: Dogs and Cats
Benefits:
•
All natural ingredients
•
Two soft chews of Glyco-Flex II for Cats have 250 mg of glucosamine and 300 mg of Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel), and two soft chews of Glyco-Flex III for Dogs have 1000 mg of glucosamine and 600 mg of Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel)
How it works:
The active ingredients include glucosamine, Perna Canaliculus (green lipped mussel), and MSM. Glucosamine is a natural compound that is found in healthy cartilage in both humans and pets. It helps hydrate healthy joints by increasing the production of molecules that bind and hold water in the cartilage. Healthy cartilage provides cushioning which helps protect a pet's joints while exercising. Many believe that it provides clinical benefit in the synovial fluid by strengthening cartilage and aiding glycosaminoglycan synthesis. Further research on the effectiveness of glucosamine is still needed, but many of our customers find it to be very beneficial to their pets.

My 10 year old cat is now bouncing around like a kitten! He loves his Glyco Flex and looks forward to them daily. I would recommend this product for anyone with an animal over 10 with joint pain and limited mobility.

Luxating Patella relief
Pumpkin, a 11 year old Chihuahua, was diagnosed with luxating patella in both rear knees in August of 2010. I started him on the Glyco-Flex 3 soft chews at that time. Within 3 weeks he had very few problems & I have given him 1/2 soft chew per day since & he never has any problems at this time& he walks at least 6 blocks every day the sun shines & no rain. This is a great product for any pet that has joint pain or problems. I recieved the product 3 days after ordering & they matched a competitors price with no hassle. I would recommend 1800pet meds to anyone.

glyco-flex chews
My 8 yo tuxedo cat is not normally one who gets treats, but the glyco-flex chews are great for him. He is already on a prescription diet and received nothing but dry cat food up until now. The vet said they would be good for his luxating patella. He actually will wait at the cabinet door where I keep them and beg me for them at the appropriate time that he normally gets the chews. He is spunkier and full of more energy that I haven't seen since he was a kitten!

12 Yr old cat loves GlycoFlex
My 12 year old female cat has been using Glyco Flex for several years. I used to buy it at the Vet for a much higher price. Glad to see PedMeds has it !
She is much friskier & does not seem to have as much trouble jumping up to her favorite nap spots.

I don't know if this increase in drinking is because of beginning the GlycoFlex Soft Chews or it was a coincidence that Trevors drinking has increased... He does have diabetes & wasdrinking a large amount of water until he began to take medication...he slowed down considerably but since starting the soft chews....it has increased. we have a doc's appt to discuss the necessary action.. He is otherwise doing quite well and I don't want to stop using them.
I'm not sure how to answer you other than to say there is only one formulation of Glyco-Flex II tablets. It should be exactly the same whether bought from your veterinarian or from us. The Glyco-Flex Bite-Sized Chews for Dogs are equivalent to Glyco-Flex III. Did you order the Glyco-Flex II Feline Bite Sized Chews by mistake? Those are intended for cats.
