There is not a lot of info out there as to how effective it is and it is quite expensive. I personally think it would be more effective and easier to control the dose of glucosamine by giving a separate supplement. Especially considering that you should give a loading dose of glucosamine followed by a lower maintenance dose. Perhaps that doesn't apply if you start the dog food at an early enough stage before any visible problems arise. If anyone has any experience with glucosamine supplemented dog food please share your experiences with us. You can buy dog food that has glucosamine added.

I need to look into getting my boxer some of this. He is getting older and is having trouble walking. Are any of these ingredients active in store bought dog foods?

If I felt my dog required supplements then a visit to the vet or animal clinic would be advisable. As with human’s any deficiencies should be administered following specialist advice.

I like dogs, but I don't have one of my own (it wouldn't be fair on the dog because I'm away from home too much of the time) but my family always had dogs when I was a child. Several of our dogs suffered from arthritis when they got old and it would have been good to have helped them but we didn't know about Glucosamine then. My dad was crippled by arthritic hips and I'm showing signs of going the same way, so I take a Glucosamine Sulphate supplement twice a day and I think it helps. The progress of the arthritis has certainly been slow, considering that I first felt it 15 years ago (confirmed by x-ray). My sister also takes it and swears that it helps relieve pain in her knees. If I had dogs, I'd certainly feed them such supplements. If I deserve it, then they certainly would! Hi.

Check out my other site http://arthritismedicineforodogs.net for much more detailed info about the causes of arthritis. The fact that it acts up in cold weather makes me think that there is already some arthritis going on (but of course, I am not a vet, check with your vet to confirm). I worked as a Veterinary Nurse for 15 years so that is my educated opinion. I would start a glucosamine supplement as soon as possible to help prevent any further damage. Good story, thank you so much for sharing. Hi Gingi,

My dog has had a luxating patella in one leg since she was a year old. It's not arthritis, is glucosamine good for that? I have given her supplements but so far nothing has helped. It mostly acts up in colder weather. These are all good suggestions. My dog has had a luxating patella in one leg since she was a year old. It’s not arthritis, is glucosamine good for that?
