Vet Review

There is no better trustworthy neutraceutical company in the veterinary profession than the vetriscience company Their very first product called glycoflex, has reliably and in a trustworthy manner served the veterinary community and our companion dogs and cats with degenerative joint disease and arthritis for several decades now. . Fortunately with great distributers like 1800petmeds, products like glycoflex III are now readily available to the public at very reasonable costs. Not only does this wonderful whole food supplement contain the whole food perna canaliculus,(that has been researched recently in even human medicine in significantly helping very severe human arthritis patients), that is naturally rich in glucosamine and chondroitan sulphate, but also adds the wonderful synergistic nutrients in MSM and dimethylglycine(called DMG) to this wonderful formula which only enhances efficacy of this wonderful combination product. . The stage III formula is especially useful in those pets with either advanced arthritis of any cause, or in helping post operatively in terms of reducing recovery time in those aging pets who need to undergo stressful and painful orthopedic procedures. I find it best when this product is combined with other wonderful synergistic joint supplements like proanthozone from 1800petmeds, as well as fatty acids like super joint omega or super pure Omega 3 from 1800petmeds. When these products are used in combination, the efficacy of the combination certainly goes up significantly in my experience and opinion. The only drawbacks I have seen are in those rare dogs who are allergic to shellfish or wont eat this chewable flavored joint supplement, and on even rarer occasion in those pets with established diabetes, where sometimes dose adjustments need to be made. With all of that being said, I give this product an overall rating of 5, with its effectiveness a 5 and its taste a 4.

Promotion brought to us by one of my favorite companies, Animal Health Options, this glucosamine and trace mineral vitamin supplement is truly a reliable and trustworthy supplement that I have used for years in practice. I will often use promotion in conjunction with the antioxidant proanthozone, which I often find enhances the effects or both products in reducing joint inflammation and improving mobility. When used regularly, promotion provides nutrients needed for joints to remain healthy, as well as being a potent antioxidant. It is easily crumbled and mixed with food and I have found it highly palatable for most dogs with no side effects seen in my experience. I give this excellent glucosamine supplement an overall ranking of 4.5 out of 5.
