Will I be sent the supplement for large dogs? or are these the small bites?

The bits are about 1/2" round. I have medium sized dogs who eat small treats and they don't have a problem with the soft chews.

These are for large dogs. The pills are about the size of grapes but I do believe there is a version made for smaller dogs that are much smaller in size.

I believe these are for larger dogs. I have a 15 lb shih tzu so I was cutting each chew in half.

These are small kinda chunky bites- it goes by the weight of the dog. My Golden gets 2 daily-she LOVES them. Hope that helps

The Phycox soft chews are for larger dogs; initially 4 chews/day for a 100 lb dog, then 2 chews/day after the first 6 weeks. You have to split the chew for dogs smaller than 31 lbs.Hope this helps.

Hi JoAnne , I would ask another vet !? My vet doubles the price well almost tripped ? He said buy here too ? I brought them in after I read this and he shows me his and they even have the same marks ion the tabs ? I'm happy I can get them so inexpensive as I know my dogs do better in them and a life time user and never a problem oh my dog got sick one had a sensitive stomach and so I give with food ? Other than that nothing but hep ?

No. It just says recommended feeding 2-4 per day but nothing about weight. My pups are 9lbs and 60lbs. I give them one each, broken in half inside a Kong with a little bit of peanut butter before I leave the house. Sometimes I'll do that before bed too but usually I give them Pet Naturals of Vermont Calming before bed because my Lab used to have nightmares. Same thing basically; for calming, but he sleeps through the night with the Pet Naturals one. So I do Chill Out in the day and Pet Naturals at night. If you go that route, I found it cheaper to buy the Pet Naturals for med-lg dogs and give the little one half and the big one a full one instead of buying the ones for small dogs too.

Sorry - I transferred the contents to an airtight jar. My 130 pound 11 year old black lab with Cushings Disease much prefers these chewies to the tablets. I believe the ingredients are the same as the pills - check on line. I break two of them up in his food every morning and they are not left behind like the tablets. Good luck.

No, some dogs just require more. This can be due to the size of the dog, or the environment the dog is in. I have a large dog, and in the colder months, she needs four a day. This would be the same with any glucosamine supplement.

As far as I know, the large capsules are for dogs, while the small ones are for cats. I also notice that they do not offer the larger capsules in the 90 capsule amount. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Absolutely! You'll want to follow the initial dosage per body weight for the first 2-4 months and then transition to the maintenance stage. And you'll save a ton ordering through Amazon versus buying Connectin at a pet food and supplement store. I love this product and have used it for my beloved basset hounds for years. It is my go to supplement for their joint problems.

That is what is recommended and that's what I do, but I have always had smaller dogs (largest being about 30 lbs.) It does seem like a lot per dog but they are relatively inexpensive and a 1000 tablet bottle will last a long time. I currently have 9 dogs and give 13 pills daily and a bottle lasts me about 3 months. The product really does work I have used it for over 25 years and only once in all those years did I ever have a flea problem and I have always have multiple dogs (anywhere from 5 to 13 at any given time) and also live in a rural wooded area. I swear by them and I think it would be worthwhile giving them a try. They also improve coat and skin conditions. Hope I was of some help to you.

Probably about the same. Treats should be just that....treats. They should not be part of the diet.......in large quantity make for overweight dog.

I buy these for two mini schnauzers, 15 & 18 lbs. The 15 lb. female goes through one of them in an hour. The 18 lb. male just chews one until the flavor goes away. From chewing, they become quite gummy and they aren't nearly as thick a chew as they used to be. Out of the 30 in the bag, maybe 10 are heavy duty chews like I want them to have and the other 20 are quite flimsy. I don't think I could recommend them for a larger dog and am not certain that I will even order again for our two little ones. Hope this helps.

they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it.... I don't know that I'd call it a "treat", never have offered him one by itself - knowing our Barni, he'd just gobble it without asking what it was :) (they don't have a definitive "odor" so probably fairly tasteless) He eats so fast (inhales so to speak), I doubt he realizes taking 'medicine'..... they are "breakable" flat tablets and we break in half and then break the half in small pieces and mix in his food.... it's joint/arthritis type medicine...similar to human's glucosine, but you don't give the dog the human version and vice versa. we have 10 lb Pomeranian and don't want to give him to much is why we half it....

Hi Caryl, this is Benebone the seller. We have a new smaller bone coming out in the coming months. For a heavy chewer, we recommend the larger size for safety. But we are excited about the smaller one. You can always order it and if it doesn't work out we will refund you. Best, Peter at Benebone

It should be OK. Go to their website and compare ingredients. I'm guessing it is a little lower in fat and protein which means you can feed your pup a bit more treats, but not much more, LOL! I accidentally purchased the puppy formula instead of adult and my dogs were fine. The puppy formula has more protein and fat, but to tell the truth, not much! And the price was so much cheaper than the adult formula, I just might buy it all the time! Its a good seven bucks less per case! Wellness and some of the other so-called high quality foods have much more protein in their dry food alone. My pups eat Taste of the Wild dry food, which is an excellent, never advertised, (so the cost savings can be passed on to the consumer) lower cost, high quality, no grain, high quantity of meat (not meat byproducts) food and the doggies love it. Their protein is a little less than those other popular high prices brands. My sisters German Shepherd could not handle the high protein and ToTW had just enough. So, I dont think messing with a few grams of protein one way or another makes much of a difference for the time it will take for your pup to eat one case of dog food. I have two standard Dachshunds (6 y.o. & 4 y.o.) & a 5-1/2 y.o. Boston Terrier mix. All very healthy. They share 1/3 can of CSFTDLS as a flavor enhancer (little princess Bostey girl doesn't like just dry food, the Doxies will just about eat beef flavored cardboard, they don't care, LOL), 2x's per day.

I would say this is not a bad idea at all. If it were me however I would not mix it. But give either or , maybe every other day or so. This way you can keep up with the right amount of food to prevent over feeding and getting over weight.With the less expensive brand try to buy one that is grain free. Nutro is a good one, but look around. I disagree that giving both is a bad idea. I think it is a good one if it is all you can do. Also can you by brewers yeast? If you can add this once a week to the food, talk to you vet he can give you advice too on this supplement. What breed are you dogs?

The size of the dog doesn't matter, only the size of the pill you have to give to the dog. If the pill is small use the pill pocket, otherwise if the pill is very large you may need the tablet pocket. These products are made for pills (small) and tablets (large). If you are giving your dog just a pill, the pill size is adequate. To save some cash, you could use the larger tablet size pocket and break them into two pieces. The product is very soft and pliable and can me molded around each pill as necessary. I would recommend you try different flavors as one of our dogs did not like the beef flavor but both dogs loved the peanut flavored ones.
