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.

Glycoflex II is middle stage product is an excellent choice for those pets with moderate joint problems or arthritis. What separates this product out from Glyco-Flex classic and Glycol-Flex I is the amount of glucosamine, perna canaliculus and MSM in the product, as the Glyco-Flex II does contain higher amounts of these nutrients. While these level of nutrients are not needed in dogs with mild arthritis, dogs with more severe joint problems do benefit from these and other added nutrients in the Glyco-Flex II product. It is made with the same trustworthiness and reliability as the other Glyco-Flex lines. This is often the product I will reach for that if in doubt about which Glyco-Flex formulation to use, you can¿t go wrong with this one, as it will not overdose or under dose any pets. As with the other products, the only cautions would be to check with your vet if a pet has a history of diabetes or urinary tract stones. I do love this product and give it an overall rating of 5 out of 5. With the development of these easy to administer chewable tablets, feline guardians do in fact find it alot easier to administer these wonderful joint supplements to often finicky felines. I just love the wonderful combination of synergistic ingredients in this product. Not only does it have the original Perna Canaliculus(green lipped mussel) of the Glycoflex classic formula, but also additional MSM, glucosamine, DMG and manganese to promote joint health and reduce inflammation. Given the lack of effective joint products available for arthritic or stiff felines, this will often be the first product I will reach for when treating lame or stiff cat. I will even start cats preventatively on this supplement past middle age to help slow down the progression of degenerative joint disease as they age. IT is very safe to use long term and a definite favorite of many veterinarians from the trustworthy Vetriscience company. I give this product an overall ranking of a 5 out of 5.
