There are a lot of recent studies that have concluded that Glucosamine is no more effective than a placebo in helping with Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, or other degenerative joint conditions. One of the most prominent was a study published in 2006 in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed that Glucosamine did not help slow the loss of cartilage in a statistically significant group of study participants over the course of two years. This is one of the longest scientific studies to study the effectiveness of Glucosamine supplements to date.

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.
