Glucosamine for dogs

[Deleted]

Does anyone give this to their dog as a daily supplement to help with joints?

There are so many to choose from I'm curious on which type & brands you've had success with (your dog willingly takes it; you've seen improvement; tablet/liquid/capsule)

Is the one you use Rx or OTC?

Thank you

We gave it to Dexter for arthritis. It helped when his arthritis was mild, but once it got severe, we had to progress to acupuncture. But we always still gave it; we figured it couldn't hurt, and he would take it willingly, so we kept giving it. We used Cosequin; it was an OTC chewable tablet. We bought it at the vet at first, but then I discovered that Costco had it at a great price.

Good luck! I hope your pup feels better soon!

Oh good, these are the ones I ordered on Amazon. But I wish I had thought to check Costco first. I paid $65.99 for 250. Do you recall what Costco charges?

We just started on Glyco Flex III. They were $60 for 120 at the vet. I haven't shopped around yet. They definitely make a noticeable difference in how much he limps.

I give them chicken feet.

Costco's current price is $100 for two bottles, which I believe is around what I paid. But I just checked the website and they only have the "with MSM" kind, which is not what we used. I'm not sure what the difference is.

ETA: Amazon has the MSM kind for $52 for one bottle, so not far off in price if you want to try that kind.

I'll have to look at my bottle when I get home tonight, but I believe my vet wanted me to give the one with MSM. I just use OTC (human) glucosamine per her vet.

Glyco Flex III and Zeel.

Look into springtimeinc.com. Great product, great price. I just can't give it to my dog since he went on a specific diet.

I just checked and the vet wanted me to get the one with Hyaluronic Acid.
It was about $12 for 150.
