Whats the difference between PhyCox and Actistatin? My 100 lb. pup ruptured both his ACL's in the past year, he has been on Actitstatin the last 6 months or so and it does help him but I see PhyCox offers the same results at a more affordable price.

Wish I had more information for you - would check with Vet to see if Phycox might be an option.good luck! :)

I don't have an answer for you. The reason my 14 year old dog is on these is because my vet put him on them for his stiff joints. They were more expensive from the vet so I started ordering them through Amazon. Sorry I can't answer your question.

I have a couple of large Labs, both female and both have had puppies. I have tried everything I could for their hip pain. Phycox is the only thing I have found that actually works.

While they seem very similar, I would ask your vet what would be best for your dog. Side note: most vet offices will price match a number of different products.

I have been using this for years - my vet offers it and suggested I get it on Amazon for a cheaper price. Works great - such a difference in my Dalamatian!!! She is like a puppy again, can do stairs well now, jump and run great. Her fear on stairs is only because her depth perception is going a bit. Definitely try it. I don't know why the bottle says that, perhaps it's the state you live in. Apparently in NY you can't get the Heartguard without a prescription so I can't get that one online which is disappointing...have to buy it for a higher price at the vet.

Yes it is fine to give both of them. We found that our 15 yr old Aussie/Beagle mix no longer needs the Rymadyl since taking the Phycox Max. She is hiking and acting like a puppy again without coming home sore. I can't recommend it enough!

Hi Dana! I went to DONA's website but didn't see milligrams, just salt (3%). I think the difference is that one comes in blister packs and the other loose in a bottle. I don't think there is a difference in dosage. I use Prime to get free shipping. I also check Walgreens as they sometimes have a better sale, but not often. I've been using this for 2 years and rarely have a problem with knees or hands. Anne

My labrador retreiver has never used the G3 so I do not know what to say about comparisons of the two products. I just know that the G4 has saved my labs life! Buddy, our 6 y/o yellow lab was on the verge of not being able to walk well or get up from the ground position due to hip displacia. Our Vet gave us a sample of SynoviG4 and then we purchased more from Amazon at an amazing price. Buddy is now running across the back yard. He still gets stiff from time to time but he is walking and getting up easily. This product is a miracle as far as we are concerned! I hope this helps answer your question.

My cat got a claw caught in a blanket while jumping to the floor and ended up slipping a disc in her back in the process of falling. She lost the use of her hind legs for a few days, but recovered very slowly and was clearly in pain for weeks. I started her on Synflex after a couple of weeks of pain meds in an effort to find an alternative to narcotics for long term. After about 2 weeks on Synflex, her limp became less pronounced and she clearly was feeling better. After about a month, she only had a slight limp so I backed off the Synflex to every other day. Within about a week, I noticed the limp was getting worse again so I started her back on a low daily dose and she will remain on it for the rest of her life. If I were you, I would follow the recommended dose on a daily basis for at least a month. Any improvement is better than nothing.

My vet recommended the Dasuqin with MSM. He felt the results were better with this than he had seen with the Cosequin. Our 11 yr old Sheltie with a partially torn ACL and resulting arthritis has done well on the Dasuquin. I found Amazon to have the best price on it.

The pills worked better for me, a friend tried the drops and those worked better for him. Both cost the same for a months supply. Give them a shot.

My doctor wrote an RX for 50,000 I.U. the Giant Eagle near my home filled my RX with Biotech product and charge my $5.00 for 8 pills. As you can see Amazon seller supplied me with 100 for $20.00. I went to see my doctor if fact yesterday, and told him of my finding to which he said "yes, it's the same". The RX was for my insurance company .... I think that 0.20 cents a pill, is a lot better than 8 for $5.00.But let me get off my soap box and say YES, it's the same. But to be safe ask your doctor.Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Looks like they are different material. I am not sure which one is stronger but stronger is better unless you want more flexible. My dog used it for off lead and recall training and dragged it around so a stronger one wasn't really necessary. If your dog is large then best to go heavier duty.

Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure. I am not a doctor however I will share my sons experience. My son was born with a severe club foot that required 3 surgeries to correct at 14 months old. He is now 26 years and has been suffering with arthritis for about 4 years. I originally bought this for myself and he had asked me if I thought it could help him. I was not sure if it would so we gave it a try and it did! He said that it works great for him. I now see that there are pads available on Amazon. I will be buying some here. (The unit wants you to purchase replacements from China. I did not feel comfortable doing that). Best wishes to you.Cheryl Sorry about your knee. No fun for sure.

I actually just called the company and they said there is no difference between the two models. They just market them differently for those people who have small dogs or cats. So go with the cheaper one (small version)!

So sorry, ,Has been confusion between the two packs in similar(ultra joint builder and bone-up) I think that the medicine needs time to get results . I apologize for the error.

We purchased the ramp for our Havanese following TPLO surgery (ACL injury). We did not want him jumping on any thing. He had trouble with the ramp as the fabric is somewhat slippery for him. I purchased a small carpet that has a pattern with sections somewhat raised and pinned one end on the backside of the ramp and the rest falls down the ramp. This gives him a better grip.The next ramp we purchased was the scalloped stairs and these are much better and easier for him to use. The scallop is not a truly defined step, however it does give something for his feet to 'rest' on before the next step without slipping down. If we had to purchase another one, it would definitely be the scalloped stairs. We purchased the ramp for our Havanese following TPLO surgery (ACL injury). We did not want him jumping on any thing.

I really don't know. I would ask your vet. Like anything else. I'm sure the folks at Abbott want you to buy Alpha Trak 2 and get those new strips. If you have the money,I would invest in the Alpha Trak 2. Cheers.

I ordered the Pet Tabs with calcium by mistake once. We usually use the AF formula. It probably does work and I'm sure it had calcium in it because they were much harder to break in half for out 15 LB doxies. (They get 1/2 a tab with each meal -2 times a day). The one question to ask maybe would be: ..What type of calcium is it? My Dr has told "me" to get calcium "citrate" as it is easier to absorb. Ask your Vet and check the ingredients. I will say we LIKE Pet Tabs and the were originally recommended by our Vet. Buying them on Amazon is a cost effective way to get them. Especially true if you are a Prime member!

I probably should have clicked the "I don't know," but I've been taking the Celadrin for four months and have noticed a significant improvement in the knee area, better than when using JointAstin. When taken with glucosamine, the effect is even better. Good luck!
