Vet Review

One of my favorite comprehensive joint supplements, synoviG3 has an excellent high concentration of glucosamine, MSM, creatine, and Perna Canaliculus. I have always favored products with perna canaliculus on the ingredient list, as this ingredient has been shown clinically in human trials to be very effective for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. With regular use, this product can not only support joint function and flexibility, but also help strengthen joint cartilage as well. The addition of antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, not only enhances the efficacy of this product, but also has other health benefits for the heart, brain and kidneys. Another excellent benefit of this product is the availability of it in several formulations to fit the needs of any dog. I have yet seen any side effects when using this product. The only drawback to this product is the somewhat high cost. I give this product an overall ranking of a 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.
