I'm looking for the best product , any ideas?

A lot of people use people ones, but if your dog has allergy issues, they contain ingredients that would aggravate them.

I've heard really good things about Fresh Factors. In fact, I'm going to order it for my dog.

I give Puff the same G&C as I take, no problems.

We use the Kirkland G&C (house brand, sold only at Costco) @ tab G = 750 mg; C = 600 mg.

A couple years ago, Consumer Reports rated this brand as the highest quality & lowest price.

I give mine the human version. Meijers occasionally has them on sale buy one, get one free.

We just use the people kind also. I believe we've had the Meijer brand the last several times. We also wait until they go on a buy-one, get-one sale.

I know a lot of people use cosequin DS, but I think you have to get it from your vet.

My mom's older dog takes this stuff and it has helped her a ton:

Cosequin DS here, on recommendation of Jes's ortho vet.

I know a lot of people use cosequin DS, but I think you have to get it from your vet.

You can get it on eBay, many farm supply stores, or use the human Cosamin DS from places like Costco, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS, etc. Most vets do sell it, but I think it's normally a lot higher than the alternatives.

Do you need a script for it?

i love and have had best results with the human product Osteo Bi-Flex Triple Strength

 

[Nick]

Do you need a script for it?

No, it's just sold along with vitamins and such.

What ever Glucosamine you choose stay away from the much less effective KCl or the NaCl forms of glucosamine (only shown when you examine the ingredient list)....they are mostly fillers.....Glucosamine in the Potassium Salt form, which means you get much less absorbable Glucosamine. You want Glucosamine HCL and/or Sulfate for better absorption....ideally both...the more pure glucosamine. Liquid glucosamine is supposed to be absorbed quicker but I've only just given crushed pill or granular form. Also I look for other synergistic ingredients like MSM, chondrotin sulfate, omega 3's, vitmain a,c,e, etc.

Also would look into the source if your lab is prone to allergies because it is also derived from shellfish most often. Anyhow, just something that might be helpful when shopping for your glucosamine
