Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

Does anyone use joint supplements such as GlycoFlex or Cosequin on growing pups for support while they grow so quickly? If so what do you use? TIA!

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

I use the Glyco Flex Classic and also Vit C.

At what age do you start supplements?

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

cosequin at 8 wks

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

Fish oil and Vit C starting at 4-6 months.

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

I thought cosequin wasn't good for puppies? I start Glyco Flex and Vit C pretty much right at 8 weeks.

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

Which GlycoFlex do you use?

Re: Joint Supplementation For Puppies??

For ease of dosing I use Natures Farmacy PhytoFlex. It is a powder that contains what you need for joints, and as a powder you can increase easily for weight or for stress working conditions. I double the dose for my seniors and it works well. I also use Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Fish Oil capsuls startn at 8 weeks.

Is this true? I haven't heard of this before? Is there a certain ingredient in it that is not good for puppies?
