Oral glucosamine is commonly used for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Since glucosamine is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans, and glycosaminoglycans are a major component of joint cartilage, supplemental glucosamine may help to rebuild cartilage and treat arthritis. Its use as a therapy for osteoarthritis appears safe, but there is conflicting evidence as to its effectiveness. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found glucosamine sulfate is no better than placebo in reducing the symptoms or progression of hip osteoarthritis.There are two main types of glucosamine, Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine hydrochloride. In a placebo controlled trials of Knee pain the Glucosamine Hydrochloride failed to show superority over placebo (GAIT) but a similar trial of the Glucoasmine Sulfate showed superiority over placebo and paracetamol in the control of pain.

Fro personal experience I know another 3 people that have undergone the same experience.

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.
