My vet recommends double strength the dose that is listed on product. Is this due to the source of ingredients?

Our 90 pound Dobie gets one in the morning and one at night. She runs,jumps and is friskie-too much sometimes.. not really but she is a changed and happy girl. Jessie is 10 years old. Great product

I did double the dose but it made my dog very sick for some reason. I tried this but did not like the way it affected my dog so I am going back to what I know works, Cosimin DS. It costs more but I KNOW it works.

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.

You definitely MUST check with your vet. Some products for one species are toxic to others. You need to check with a trusted expert.

We use 1ml. for every 10 lbs. This is a huge bottle compared to how much you use...so you should be fine. The vet told us you can't over-give on this (and it's the exact same type they use).

Hi, a friend had recommended this because my guy (11 years) had started having joint issues. He seems improved. It's got 500 mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride and 500 mg Methylsuffonylmethane (whatever that is!) There's no actual "strength" they just give you a chart with the daily dose depending on the dog's weight.

you have to talk with your vet. the ingredients on same for dogs and humans is not identical, the differences may not be beneficial to your dog.

I followed the instructions by giving 2 tablets to our 10 year old golden retriever (80 lbs.) for 8 weeks and after 8 weeks, I give him one tablet since there is approximately 900 mg of glucosame, 300 mg condroitin and 90 mg MSM. Our vet recommended 1000-1200 mg. Our golden's mobility has improved with use.

MAX Has more ingredients go to the phycox site and read info on it - I was very impressed especially I have a older dog with an injury. I was using Phycox before but no the max then I researched it and switched. Now my vet carries it too. Great stuff.

There is a Dasuquin for small dogs. I would use that instead of breaking pills to make sure you have the proper dose for your dogs weight.

The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think). I recently compared it to another product, ingredient to ingredient, this other one being one that has almost 500 five-star reviews and reportedly lots of vet recommendations, and OsteoPet was better, ingredient for ingredient, than this competitor. My boy pup is still doing great with these supplements, and on days he's really active (like chasing squirrels at 12, wow!), then he gets a pain-free aspirin substitute, too. Also here on Amazon. His sister gets Osteo and Zeel, doing great, too. I've rambled. Oops. LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!! The ingredients list/label is shown on the bigger bottle here on Amazon.com (the 180 count, I think).

~I got this off BachFlowerPets.com .... "Is there a dosage different for different size animals?Since the Bach Flower Remedies are used on all animals the dosage can be adjusted a little, normal dosage for cats, dogs, goats; double dosage for horses, cows and elephants; and smaller dosages for rabbits, birds and reptiles." ... I usually give my 16 pound poodle 3-4 drops, and my cats the same. The drops can be given every few hours if needed. I traveled from New York to Florida with my cats in their carriers & they really only needed it once in the morning & before bed at night. I put it right in their mouths. Hope this helps !

I always wondered the same thing. I looked it up and never found an answer but I think the smaller capsule and larger quantity is more convenient and my dog is doing well.

I am not exactly sure but give half the dosage the back of the bag recommends. This brand is very rich and put extra weight on my dog.

Whenever using any type of pesticide follow the instructions on the label. Just deciding to double or triple the recommended mixes can lead to all sorts of negative enviromental and or health issues. Chemicals are a valuble tool but must be used witin guidelines.

The weight of the dog determines the size of the dosage. You can find that information online.

Hi Shontay,I have a 66 lb lab & I give her 1.5 of the calming treats and it seems to keep ker mellow for about 6 hours. The product does say you can double or triple the dose if the pet is over stressed, however I would start out with the regular dose until you know how your pets are going to react. I do NOT use the treats on regular basis, only when I am having company over that will be over for 4-6 hours just so my lab is not continuously begging for attention.

I've used it on my dogs as well as my cats because I found that both active ingredients are used on both types of animals, the dosage can be just a bit different due to the animals weight. Personally, I referenced the dosage amounts for each of the medications on the brand name literature and got as close to the milligrams as possible. Remember to follow the instructions and give with or right after a fatty meal. I give my cats one capsule each sprinkled into canned food. My small dog only weighs 7lbs. so I gave her 1/2 a capsule sprinkled into food. I have two larger dogs that weigh more than 60lbs. each and I gave them 2 capsules each sprinkled into their meal. Also be diligent about household and yard flea control or they will keep getting fleas. Because of the medication, once they bite they will die off, but it is better to just be proactive. Hope this helps.
