Glucosamine Condroitin For Dogs



"Glucosamine Condroitin for Dogs is a natural substance called a neutraceutical that is proven to be effective in helping dogs with arthritis joint pain. Glucosamine is more effective than condroitin."



Glucosamine Condroitin for dogs can be a miracle arthritis medicine and should be seriously considered when selecting an arthritis medicine.

Glucosamine is in most dog multi-ingredient nutraceuticals and may be the most effective.

It has been shown to rehabilitate cartilage and reduce the pain from arthritis. While some Veterinarian’s question the clinical support for this substance, most Vets report that 50% of their patients respond to the treatment. Since glucosamine and chondroiton are considered safe, it is worth trying this option.

Glucosamine is available in tablet and liquid form. While liquids tend to work faster since they don't have to be dissolved in the dog's stomach, tablets are fine. Follow the manufacturers directions for the correct dose.

Cosequin ™ - is often used as a supplement to Rimadyn since it contains glucosamine and chondroitin, supplements that can restore cartilage.

Adequan - Unlike Rimadyn that focuses on pain, this drug can reduce pain and begin to repair cartilage. It is administered by injection for four weeks. Note that this drug is a glucosamine.

Maximum Glucosamine Dose for Dogs

Glucosamine Sulfate is usually prescribed in 20mg/lb or body weight or 1 500-mg. tablet per 25 pounds of body weight.

Condroitin for Dogs

Condroitin is not absorbed as easily into your dog and therefore may not be as effective.

There is a product call Nutramax (also known as TRH122) which is more easily absorbed.

We suggest that after consultation with your Veterinarian if you decide to use condroitin for dogs that you used a blended product like Cosequin ™

Good Sources for Glucosamine

Good commercial sources for more information are PetAlive Muscle & Joint Support Formula to Treat Symptoms, Relieve Pain and Reduce Stiffness of Arthritis, Rheumatism and Degenerative Joint Disease in Pets and Glucosamine Plus for Pets.
