Arthritis Treatment for Dogs
I have several pages on both of our glucosamine sites concerning the fact that there is only one formula of Flexicose, one formula of Synflex 1500, and one formula of regular Synflex. There is no such thing as a “pet formula” of Synflex or Flexicose. Although “pet” formulas of each are advertised and sold, only the labels are different. To limit confusion we only stock our liquid glucosamine with the regular label. We, as well as many of our customers, open one bottle at a time and share with our dogs.
Here I am running with one of my dogs, Avie.
Along the lines of using Synflex and Flexicose liquid glucosamine for pets, I’d like to also point out that most our customers who purchase our products for the pets are using it for dogs. Although we do have some customers who purchase Flexicose or Synflex for their cats, and even more for their horses with arthritis, the vast majority of pet purchases are used as an arthritis treatment for dogs. It is extremely rare for a dog to turn his or her nose up at either Flexicose or Synflex. Most dogs simply don’t mind if it’s on their food. Cats are a different matter. It may take some coaxing or trickery to get a cat to eat their food if something….anything….is on their food which isn’t normally there. We suggest finding something to pour over your cat’s food which he or she does like. And then simply mix the liquid glucosamine into that. Large pet stores sell “toppings” for dry food to entice cats to better eat which may work for finicky cats.
