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.

This wonderful whole food human grade nutritional supplement truly fills in the gaps in nutrition that are lost in the processing of commercial pet foods. Not only do the wide variety of nutrients including flax and other nutrients optimize nutrition for the dog, but the inclusion of added glucosamine also helps maintain healthy joints. I have found that when animal guardians add this wonderful formula to their canine companions' diets, that the immune systems function better, as well as there is better digestion and overall health. While I will recommend the Missing Link only formula to all of my new puppy clients, I will also recommend the Missing Link Plus Canine with Joint support to all of my senior dogs, especially those with any signs of arthritis. Most pets find this formula highly palatable, which is easy to sprinkle and mix with whatever diet is being fed. And boy, will it make that diet so much better and healthier for the pet. I therefore give this product an overall ranking of a 4.5 out of 5.
