A vet talks about arthritis in dogs and some of the different ways you can help your dog. What he mentions about consulting your veterinarian and the over-the-counter pain medicines is especially important!

Supplements

Along with liquid glucosamine I also give my dog Vitamin E on top of her dry dog food. The reason I give her vitamin e is to help with her bowels and help make her regular, its a good oil for her to have. This way you’re covering all the bases with your dog. As with anything also be sure to bring this up to your veterinarian.

And as a added plus I also top it off with a few scoops of canned salmon, not too much you just want to give them flavor. This also provides Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids plus fish oil to help them with bowels and their coats.

It’s the little things we do for them that helps them out in the long run.

Delivery methods

GFD — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:44:32 +0000

As I was reading about the many different methods used to get your dog glucosamine I thought about the very many delivery methods. Such as the one I prefer is liquid glucosamine as it absorbs directly into your dogs blood stream and then is delivered directly to your dogs joints where it can begin to rebuild lost or damaged cartilage.

Really its whatever works for you and your dog, Liquid glucosamine can work for you as it is mixed with dry dog food, but what happens if your dog doesn’t like that?

What are the other methods that we can explore ?

Powdered glucosamine – This can also be made into sauces or even just sprinkled on your dogs food.

Glucosamine tablets – These are usually pressed little nuggets that are packed with glucosamine. Think treats.

Liquid glucosamine – There are different versions of this form, some that you can mix in water, some that are more solid and cannot be mixed in water but can be added to your dogs food.

I have tried all of these some with different variances of success, the one that I’ve stuck with is the Liquid Glucosamine. My dog doesn’t mind having it poured on top of her dog food, the Syn-flex I use is orange flavored and I guess to her that’s considered human food.

Read the directions on what dosage to give your dog depending on their weight.

And when you should do this, or what stage of life ?

(I despise putting a life expectancy on a dogs life but for this example) If your dogs estimated life expectancy is 1-14 years then obviously then by age 7 which would be the middle of that expected life span would be considered the geriatric stage of life. Not depending upon what breed they are or what size of dog they are.

The reason we are researching and testing all these products is to extend your dogs life expectancy. There are some dogs now that are hitting age 21 never have we heard of such a older dog, but more power to that dog and their owners!

Frequented Question

GFD — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:48:48 +0000

Frequented Question.

I get this question a lot. If it is safe to give your dog glucosamine that was meant for humans. And I always say yes. I have been giving my dog liquid glucosamine for dogs for about 4 years now after first trying to give her powdered glucosamine (which failed miserably). But the liquid she would take, it was easier on her stomach as its already in a liquid form which would easily absorb into her system.

I have seen other liquid glucosamine products that are able to go directly into their water. But I really didn’t trust the company as they were new and saw it on a late night commercial. But the one I use I did my research and found a lot of testimonials on the subject. And decided to try it, after alerting my vet about it we all agreed it would help.

And it did!
