Cosequin, GlycoFlex, Synovi, Chondro-Flex...

If you use a joint supplement for your adult dog, which do you use?

Arthogen
Chondro-Flex
Curaflex
Cosequin
Duralactin
GlycoFlex I, II, III
Synovi G3, MSM
Other

Do you like the granules, tablets, or chews, where available?

Do you add any additional supplements for the joints with these?

Side effects?

Dasuquin with MSM for large dogs.

I have all three of my dogs on Synovi G3 soft chews, I give them 3V capsules for their skin, joint and heart health. The two boys get Adequan injections twice monthly as well.

Synovi G3 soft chews or granules. Either, they don't mind the granules at all.

I use cosequin, i perfer the powder. I also use chicken cartelidge.

I use the Synovi G3, MSM equine formula granules. You have to figure the dog dose. The only difference from the canine formula is the apple flavoring. It's much less expensive to use.

I use Costco's G/C for the one dog that needs it. I also use human grade MSM for the same one. She also gets Glycoflex as well. My other 2 with no issues just get fish oil, though I am going to stop it for awhile since they are getting a salmon kibble now.

Re: Cosequin, GlycoFlex, Synovi, Chondro-Flex...

I have used Cosequin, GlycoFlex, and one not listed. It is a liquid from Liquid Health Inc. I was not impressed with the Cosequin. The other 2 seemed to help my dogs more than the Cosequin.

After trying numerous things my old girl gets 2 GlycoFlex III tablets a day and the showing/working lab group gets 1 GlycoFlex III tablet a day for maintenance, with my vet's approval. My vet is a strong believer in giving showing/working labs glucosamine/chondroitin even pups if they are in training.
