My 80# golden's hip are breaking down, If I use this product would I also need additional liquid glucosamine?

I don't think so -- it has quite a bit of glucosamine -- but I can't speak for your particular situation. It has strengthened my Newfoundland's knee joints a lot.

I add 1500mg glucosamine with MSM tabs from Costco at a rate of 100 tabs per 23oz tub. This is an inexpensive way to add more glucosamine. I just run the tablets through a small coffee grinder to make a power which I just mix in with the Connectin. This increases the gluco by about 150%. The 3/4 scoop now contains 1200mg instead of the 469 as is. I would ask your vet what he/she thinks is a good amount. My 11 year old heeler still climbs mountains with me!

Product contains 624mg of glucosamine. I'd hold off on any extra at first and see how it goes. Effect of supplement is apparent in a matter of days.

You might want to ask your veterinarian, but I give my cat Trixsyn, a supplement for joints, and the fish oil. She has not had any problems.

http://www.missinglinkproducts.com/products/dog/product/42-the-missing-link-ultimate-canine-hip-joint-coat-formula-for-large-adult-dogs-1-lb-pouch This is the link for the product I bought. I called the company because the label was different and I wanted to make sure I was getting the same product. They told me they had changed the label recently and it was the same product. They also explained that the Omega 3 and 6 Plus Glucosamine were the ingredients that helped with the shedding. I recommend you contact them if you have ingredient specific questions. I has greatly reduced both of my dog's shedding. I hope this helps. Thanks and God Bless!

My yorkie-maltese was diagnosed with hip dysplasia (with osteoarthritic changes) at two yrs old. Shes been on 25 mg chewable rimadyl for 3 years now and its been a great product. I walk her daily and she runs and fetches. Hopefully i can put off her FHO surgery for years to come. I do also feed her food containing omega 3 and give her a joint supplement treat daily. I plan to try phycox as her joint supplement treat as the one ive been giving her has been discontinued. My vet recommended using both together as well as a dog food containing omega 3/6.

Hi Cindy, Thanks for asking your question. Glucosamine = 900mg, Chondroitin = 350mg, MSM = 800mg. This is the recommended dosage for dogs 60lbs and over. Our supplement also has a score on it (which means you can easily break it in half) for smaller dogs. So dogs under 60lbs can also be given our supplement using half the dosage. I hope this answers your question.

My dog took the extra strength hip and joint tablets, which contained 750 mg glucosamine and 400 mg chondroitin per tab. Dosage amounts to give dog are indicated on bottle, determined by dog's weight.

250 mg of Glucosamine, 200 mg of Chondroitin, 50 mg of Ascorbic Acid, 15 mg of Zinc, and 2 mg of Copper per tablet. We give our 32 lb dog one tablet a day and she is no longer limping and is much more active.

That's how I got on it myself. The Vet put our 30 pound cat on Nutramax Cosequin and he did so good that I ordered the human Glucosamine Plus for me. I have been on it for about three years now and doing better today than I was three years ago. If it is for you dog why not order the Nutramax Cosequin for Dogs here at Amazon. We use to give it to the cat in a spoonful of baby food. he would lick the dish and spoon like it was a treat, kept him going till he died of old age.

yes - that is why I bought it! My doctor told me to buy the glucosamine with sulfate rather than the hcl

I have no idea. I have not used the other. I would check out the Missing Link web site and check the ingredients on them. I would expect that there is an additional ingredient in the hip, joint and coat. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I would use the Ultimate Hip & Joint if the other were not available.

The label says: 500mg of Glucosamine Hydrochloride minimum, 400 mg Sodium Chondroitin Sulfate minimum, 5 mg Manganese minimum. My dogs love these. They just got excited when they saw me pick up the box. The three of them are seniors (11, 12, and 12). They all have arthritis, some worse than others, but I think it has helped them a lot.

My vet was pushing glucosmaine for my 8 year old Golden Retreiver. I laughed and said it didn't work for me. He responded that the MSM made all the difference in the world. One of the vet techs swore by it. I broke down and bought this online. My now 10 year old Golden gets up and down quicker than 2 years ago. I have started taking a similar suppliment and my knees are like they were 20 years ago. No clicks, pops or stiffness. This is an expensive product but you shouls see changes in 6 to eight weeks. If it doesn't work, you at least tried to help your dog. It should help anywhere there is cartilage. My vet was pushing glucosmaine for my 8 year old Golden Retreiver.

No glucose in this joint medicine. Do you mean glucosamine? If so, has 500 mgs

No, no chondroitin. My old german shepard sure benefits from it though. Perhaps having chondroitin added would help a slightly different joint problem, I can't say. But if you feel you want that included with your glucosamine and MSM, I would sure see if the Shiff company makes it. Consumer Reports notes that as this is not an FDA oversight med, the mfg can tell you whatever they want about the mg of this or that in the tab. Doesn't mean it is IN there. In fact, they tested about 20 types a few years back, and some had precious little active ingredient in it, and nowhere NEAR where it was advertised. My gsd is 104 pounds and I give him two whole tabs a day in peanut butter. He takes em right down. Some day I will probably need to give him 3 a day. I can see no reason this product would not help the appropriate human, if their joint problem was able to be helped by this kind of supplement. Good luck.

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.
