I have copied the description of this product from their website:


DOGZYMES Complete contains the following powerhouse ingredients for joint support: Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Yucca and Hyaluronic Acid. DOGZYMES Complete also contains our special herbal blend formulated to support the soft tissue associated with the joints - tendons and ligaments. The multi-vitamin pack contained in DOGZYMES Complete includes but is not limited to Vitamins A, D, E and C along with amino acids and omegas.
Finally, the DOGZYMES Complete is rounded out with probiotics and enzymes for a total of 6 Billion CFU/gram. The probiotics and enzymes help the body in more ways than one. Traditionally thought of as just an aid in digesting food, more and more research is coming to light on all of the benefits of having probiotics and enzymes in the diet, everything from balancing body pH to detoxing the kidneys, controlling yeast and even working with the body to help boost the immune system.

You need a recipe from an actual vet nutritionist and a supplement meant to replace what they would be getting in dog food. It is extremely important or there could be bone loss and everything else. You can check out balanceit.com
