Isn't glucosamine obtained from cartilage? We just used the same tablets the DH and I took for our Lab, with our Vet's OK. The Glu. in it is derived from chicken cartilage which we prefer after reading how sharks are being slaughtered and may become endangered. Yes, we know, chickens are not treated very humanely either but at least they are not endangered.

There can be some concerns with giving Gluc., diabetes being one. Best to check on dosage with Vet first.
