Why would someone give glucosamine to a dog?

Is there a nice vet who would tell me if I can give glucosamine supplements marketed for human consumption to my dogs. The dogs are two years old in great health and weight between 8 and 10 lbs.?

Well I'm not a vet, but I am a vet tech. I know the doctors at the clinic I work at recomend to give human glucosamine supplenments to patients all the time (that usually have joint issues). You could also find a good dog food that have Glucosamine in it. Glucosamine is glucosamine. It is a supplement and is not dog/human specigic. Glucosamine with Chondroitin works well too.

How much Glucosamine Chondroitin should I give my 25 lb.dog for joint pain?

The standard amount of glucosamine and chondroitin that should be given to your dog is 20mg's per pound of weight, so in the case of your 20lb dog the amount of glucosamine and chondroitin would be 500mg's. You should try getting a supplement that also contains a natural anti-inflammatory such as MSM alongside glucosamine and chondroitin to help ease the pain and swelling that so often occurs with joint pain in dogs.

Is it ok to give dogs human glucosamine?

I have recently stummble upon a product that is much better than SynoviCare, it is made by Effective Natural Pets it is a vegetable source glucosamine that combines other things such as Chondroitin and MSM and some herbs that help with the over all health of the joint. The one thing I really like about this product is that because the glucosamine is not derived from shellfish you don't have to worry about any allergy interactions. I called the company and they were wery friendly and helpful. I was blown away when they told me they guarantee their products to work or your money back. I have seen great results on my dog and the product doesn't have to be refrigerated so that was another plus. When compare to SynoviCare on price the Effective Natural Pets Glucosamine Plus was much less. They also have a comparison chart on their website and a few other products not only for dogs but horses and cats as well. I hope this helps and this proves you don't have to pay a lot for a quality product. Nutri Vet has a whole line of glucosamine products ranging from chewables, treats, and even liquids you can add on there food or in there water. I believe theres a product called Cosiquine that is also good. Nutri-Vet and Cosiquine are good Glucosamine supplements and also a product made by VPS known as SynovialMax soft chews are really good. They are treats that you give to your dog every day depending on the weight. My dogs love them and i have seen an improvement from just the last couple of weeks.
