It's worked for my dog for 5 years. She has hip dysplasia and has been on a glucosamine preparation since she was 7. It's worked great - we haven't had to resort to NSAIDS yet (they're tough on the dogs liver so we're holding them back as a last resort).

DH also takes it for his knees. If he misses a few days his knees start to hurt again.

Great stuff, IMHO.

That's how it all started, the vets were using glucosamine on race horses and it worked and as usual it took the orthodox medical establishment about 30 years to start recommending it to their patients, in some respects they are so advanced, can save a life in critical condition yet, when it comes to chronic diseases and using nutritional supplements, they are behind the curve.

My dog has been taking the glucosamine/chondroiten combo almost a year for arthritis and it has worked wonders on her.

say does DH take the GS-Chondritin combo?

Which brand and how much? 1500 mg a day? 3 x 500 mg

I've never seen the one a day 1500 mg pill the study talks about, that would be great hmmmm

Mrs. B was having so much discomfort from the plate in her neck that a few months ago, she was literally kicking me out of bed every night. I suggested she switch from the more modern celebrex to old-fashioned, enteric asprin, and try glucosamine and MSM.

It's made all the difference in the world- she rests comfortably now.

The old dog (12) takes a lighter dose as well. FWIW, the vet tells us that in dogs, relief is highly individuallistic-- some behave like a much younger dog, others get no relief at all.
