Vet Review

There are not too many effective joint supplements on the market today for cats. A wonderful and effective economic alternative is the Joint Enhancer for Cats from 1800PetMeds. The synergistic combination of glucosamine and chondroitin help maintain healthy joints and healthy activity levels. Using this product regularly will reduce joint pain, as well as ease motion in middle age and older cats with arthritis. I will also often suggest it as a preventative to senior cats, who often mask hidden arthritis very well. Most cats do love the tuna and chicken flavor as well. I will often reach for this economic product to try first over cosequin in practice. I give this product an overall rating of 4 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.
