What is Dog Hip & Joint Support (with Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM)?
Hip & Joint Support for Dogs is a synergistic combination of ingredients (including glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM) that can optimize your dog's joint function and comfort, while at the same time provide the building blocks necessary to support normal joint structure. It maintains healthy joint and connective tissue function in dogs predisposed to loss of structure and function in joints over time.
Age, breeding, diet, lifestyle injury and stress can affect the health of any joint's structure and function, and Hip & Joint Support for Dogs is designed to meet the needs of your dog. Hip & Joint Support for Dogs offers your dog an alternative line of defense, whether your goal is to support existing healthy tissue and joints, or to help maintain joint function in the pre-disposed, aged or injured animal.

How Does Glucosamine Work?
Numerous double blind studies have shown that Glucosamine produces significantly positive results in reducing the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. The main function of glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of substances, including cartilage, necessary for joint repair. It appears that some people lack the ability to manufacture glucosamine and this has been suggested as one of the major factors leading to the development of osteoarthritis. European researchers were the first to study the link between glucosamine levels and osteoarthritis. Of the three ingredients in Glucosamine + Chondroitin + MSM, Glucosamine has the strongest amount of research indicating its efficacy. If you are on a tight budget, Glucosamine alone is a less expensive option.
How Does Chondroitin Work?
Chondroitin Sulfates are long chains of repeating disaccharides that are sulfated. They are part of a group of glycosaminoglycans, also known as as mucopolysaccharides. They are made up of amino sugars, sugar acid and galactosamine (which is a precursor to glucosamine). The chains of Chondroitin Sulfates are much longer than other glycosaminoglycans. This added length seems to assist in the efficacy of chondroitin. Chondroitin Sulfates have negative charges which cause them to repel each other and attract water, which in turn fills space in three dimensions and enables cartilage to absorb shock. While Glucosamine helps you manufacture or repair cartilage, Chondroitin seems to help maintain its health and lubrication.
How Does MSM Work?
Methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM, is a safe and natural assimilate derived from the Southern Louisiana Pine. MSM is found in every cell of every animal and plant. MSM is a pure, natural, stable, white, odorless crystalline powder without the unpleasant taste or odor of DMSO. It does not produce intestinal gas or body odor that may occur with other forms of sulfur. MSM is not a drug or medicine, and is unrelated to sulfa drugs, to which some people have an allergy. MSM may help relieve joint pain and swelling - without the stomach damage, rebound pain, and (yes, it's true) joint damage associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's), such as ibuprofen.
Recommended for:
- Dogs with advanced need for joint support of structure and function of joints
