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. | 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. | One of my favorite long term and reliable joint supplements that has been out for years is the product Glyco-Flex classic by Vetri-Science. The main ingredient in this wonderful product, known as perna canaliculus(the green lipped mussel) has many years of clinical research behind its use in the human field for helping treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This product was the very first offered by one of the most trustworthy and reliable companies in Vetri-Science, and was the basis for many of their other wonderful Glyco-Flex products. This product helps to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue health, and so it is an excellent product to use as a preventative in those pets predisposed to hip or joint problems. The only cautions I can bring up is to check with your veterinarian if a pet is diabetic, as well as if there is a history of urinary tract stones. I find that any digestive side effects are prevented by giving the chewable supplement with food. It should also be avoided in pregnant and breeding animals. I give this product an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. |
