| Best glucosamine/chondroitin supplement Hello yorkietalk pals! I was recently advised that my 7 year old Yorkie who has luxating patellas could benefit from a glucosamine and chondroitin supplement. I would love to hear which brands you would recommend as I'm having a hard time deciding between so many different brands. My vet recommended Glyde however I'm not seeing a whole lot of reviews regarding this brand and am weary to try it. I only want the best for my furbutt and am looking for a supplement that has quality ingredients and no fillers. Thanks in advance! |

| I start out with Cosequin, then go to GlycoFlex if it gets to the point where the Cosequin is not working. I start with one cap that I open and sprinkle on food...they dont seem to even notice it so it cant tast bad....then after a couple of years, if one does not work, I will do one in the morning and one in the evening....then after a couple more years, if necessary, I go to the Glyco-Flex III. It is super and works fabulously. You could actually start with GlycoFlex I, then advance to II, then go up to III if you preferred....I have used Cosequin for sooooo many years....my seniors tolerate it so well, dont even seem to notice it in their food..... You can really see how well it works....I ran out one time and in the 5 days it took for my order to come in the mail, after 3 days, my senior could not/would not get up and cross the room....went and bought some at PetCo.....dog was up and fine by the next evening.....now I keep a bottle or a bag ahead at all times. |

| I have an almost 16 yo with a grade IV patellar luxation. I give tramadol for a few days if it's bothering her. I also have used adequan shots which I found more effective than the cosequin.
