VETRISCIENCE Glycoflex 3 Maximum Strength Dog Supplement

I Had a prompt delivery and they were happy and polite

My dog thoroughly enjoys these, this is my 2nd purchase of them and they were recommended by her vet. Good price to

All three of our senior dogs get these as a daily supplement. We don’t have any problems getting them to take these, and they do seem to help. I know there’s a big debate over the effectiveness of glucosamine in joint health and if it actually helps or it’s more of a placebo. Our oldest dog is a little over 13 and has been receiving hip and joint supplements for years, and based on what our vets have told us, for a dog his age his hips and spine are in great shape. He is just recently starting to show arthritis in his spine and dysplasia in his hips, and being a larger dog (75 pound Lab/Retriever mix), every vet he’s seen has said to keep up whatever we are doing for him. He gets good exercise, high quality food, and these supplements, so even though the jury is still out on whether or not glucosamine does or does not help, I’ll keep giving these to our senior dogs. Maybe it’s the other ingredients rather than just the glucosamine, but so far they’ve helped hold back the aging process in their joints. Even our two other dogs (one is 11 and the other is 9) don’t show the level or extent of arthritis or dysplasia that should be present at their ages for their size and breed, especially our GSD.

We had been giving them the hard tablets, but decided to switch to the chews because we don’t have to worry about them being eaten. They have a bit of a funky smell, but the dogs don’t mind. The pups snarf it down eagerly and look for more. We haven’t had any tummy troubles switching from the tablets to the chewies, either. My only concern with the chews is that they will dry out as they do have a bit of a crumbly texture to them. There are a few tablespoons of crumbles at the bottom of the bag, but I think that is more of a shipping and delivery issue as these came in a big box (way too big for just two bags of chews) without any padding to keep them from bouncing around the box during shipment.

In the two years we’ve been giving these to our pups, we’ve been pretty pleased with the results. Prevention is cheaper and less time consuming than vet visits, x-rays, shots, getting a pet to take meds like steroids or Rimadyl (which too frequently can permanently damage the liver), blood work to see how those meds are affecting the pet’s liver or kidneys, and more. So as long as our guys keep showing such good results at keeping arthritis at bay, we will keep using GlycoFlex.

Mi perro tiene casi 16 años. Estaba deprimido y no quería caminar mucho. Después de empezar a tomar este suplemento, está mucho más animado y se siente mejor. La glucosamina y el aceite de mejillón de labios verdes realmente lo ayudan mucho.

Great product

We have an eleven year old Golden Retriever who’s used to being very active. I could tell he was getting stiff and not jumping as high as he used to..but he still wanted to play hard. After the initial dosage and after starting his new, as directed, dosage of 2 @ day. I broke them in half with my hands, they’re very soft and easy to chew. He’s a new dog!! He’s more active. Loves to fetch balls, sticks, frisbee’s etc… This improve his mobility and joints. He LOVES the taste. I love price and the quality, packed with all kinds of nutrients. You and your dog will love this stuff!!

Most of us have seen the rows of supplements on the human shelves that promise joint health, improved mobility and ease of joint pain. Usually right along side the rows of stuff for natural estrogen, prostate health and all sorts of stuff. Like most people, I sort of scoffed at that stuff, firmly believing that most of the effect is the placebo effect.

Dogs, however, don’t have the placebo effect. If something works, it is because it is actually working. It changed my mind completely on Glucosamine, MSM and the other joint improvement supplements.

My former old man dog rescue came to me with horrific joints (as well as everything else) as he had never received any medical care of any kind in his life. He was an old hunter that had a number, not a name, and was rescued. He was a mess, I admit, and no one in their right mind would adopt him. But it was one of those “love at first sight” things. We were best buds from the moment we met.

He had two torn cruciate ligaments and dire levels of arthritis. He had his surgeries but to prepare for them and for his overall health, the vet prescribed these for him. I was not convinced but I forked over the money because I figured it was worth a try. I was absolutely astounded at the changes after about 6 weeks. He still needed his surgery but that horrible creaking and popping and stiffness all but disappeared. At first, I put it down to just being cared for and having his teeth done and all of that.

After his surgery and recovery time, I stopped giving him the Glyco Flex III because the vet didn’t say anythng about it. He probably just figured I wasn’t a complete idiot and knew to give it but I was and I didn’t. Within about a month….well post surgery and after a full recovery period…of not getting it anymore he was really showing the arthritis. Back to the vet we went and I have to say, the vet was very nice about NOT rolling her eyes at me but did say that this was a lifelong need of his. Back on it we went and back to being a flexible puppy my old man went.

Sadly, my boy passed last year of a sudden collaps of 5 vertabrae in his neck…just from turning his head suddenly. Which brings me to the caution for this stuff. YES, it will improve the joints. Absolutely. But it doesn’t actually correct degenerating bones. It will make their time on earth less painful and more full of fun, but it won’t stop crumbling bones from crumbling.

My rescue boy now, also an old man with significant health problems (I’m a sucker) takes it now too and like my former dog, he’s now a jumping happy maniac with pain free and flexible joints. I just can’t recommend this highly enough!

Introduce it slowly and be sure to do it with food to avoid initial stomach upset. Good luck!
