Which do you recommend?
Bindi was diagnosed with a mild case of stage 1 LP

Ellie May · 10-16-2008, 04:51 PM

I recommend Cosequin because it is backed by research/studies which some supplements lack. I have also heard good things about SynoviG3 and Glycoflex.

Ladymom · 10-16-2008, 07:32 PM

I swear by Cosequin, too. I used Glycoflex for years, but really noticed a difference when I switched Lady to Cosequin.

Have used Cosequin for cats for years (capsules).....per my vet; it's the correct dosage for toy dogs.

My vet recommended CosaminDS for price and equivalence to more expensive brands. She said that it would take 30 days to see a difference. It's several months later, and WOW what a difference. My 12 year old, arthritic Yorkie is like a pup again.

my older 2 girls Tumi and Gracie have stage 1 LP also and they are on Cosequin for couple of weeks now. They used to be on Glycoflex but i switched them after doing more research. My little one Tsubi has not be diagnosed with LP but I give her Glycoflex soft chews as a supplement for her future protection.

The DS stands for "double strength". It's formulated for larger dogs. Toy breed dogs need the regular strength.

I get mine from Entirely Pets. They have great prices.

Cosequin Reqular Strength

If you get the Cosequin for cats....which is the correct dosage for toy dogs....it would be 1 capsule a day....just open the capsule and sprinkle onto their food.

stedmansmommy · 10-19-2008, 12:03 PM

My vet put Tatum on Glycoflex, however, I have heard so many good things about Cosequin so I will be switching her over to that shortly

AVERYxo · 10-27-2008, 01:44 AM
