One of the most happening things right now in joint care for dogs is Glucosamine. Athletes and joint pain sufferers have been long extolling the virtues
of glucosamine to keep joints healthy, and many people take it as a
preventative measure. But what is it? It is an amino sugar, usually produced from fermenting grains such as corn or wheat.
Glucosamine’s anti-inflammatory properties and ability to prevent the
manufacture of cartilage-damaging substances has made it a widely used,
unregulated remedy for joint proglems.
There are many products which include glucosamine for dogs, as clearly joint health is key to their wellbeing.

Chondritin (another great tool in the fight against joint damage) in an
easily chewed liver tasting tablet that your dog is sure to enjoy.
