Glyco-Flex III Joint Supplements (soft chews)
It took me forever to find a place that would ship these from the US to Canada, but they came in the mail today. We purchased them to help with Jaida's hip dysplasia and associated joint pain. The manufacturer is Vetri-Science.
First off, I'll say that buying them online was WAAAAAY cheaper than buying similar supplements at the vet. We got them off ebay from the "entirelypetsstore", a year's worth for just over $100 including shipping. The ingredients: Recommended for those that need maximum joint and connective tissue support. GLYCO-FLEX® III represents Stage III of our comprehensive stage of life program for joint support. It’s also recommended by veterinarians for geriatric and working dogs as well as a follow-up to orthopedic surgery. Active Ingredients Per Tablet or 2 Soft Chews: Glucosamine HCl. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1000 mg Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). . . . . . . . . . . .1000 mg Perna Canaliculus (GlycOmega™ brand Green Lipped Mussel) . . . . . .600 mg N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl (DMG) . . . . . . . . . . .100 mg Vitamin E (dl-alpha Tocopheryl Acetate). . . . . . .50 IU Calcium Ascorbate (a source of Vitamin C) Tablet . .30 mg Ascorbic Acid (Stay-C®) Soft Chew. . . . . . . . . .24 mg Manganese (as Manganese Amino Acid Chelate) Tablet. 10 mg Manganese (as Mn Proteinate) Soft Chew . . . . . . .10 mg Grape Seed Extract . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 mg L-Glutathione . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2 mg Selenium (as Sodium Selenite) . . . . . . . . . .0.002 mg Tablet Inactive Ingredients: brewers yeast, cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, natural imitation roast chicken flavor, silicon dioxide, stearic acid. Soft Chew Inactive Ingredients: brewers yeast, canola oil, chicken liver flavor, glycerin, natural mixed tocopherols, propionic acid, soy lecithin, Sursweet™ (maltodextrin, sodium alginate and calcium sulfate), whey. The manufacturer's website: http://www.vetriscience.com/glyco-flex-III.php I'm mainly starting this thread to remind me to do a review on the results after we complete the loading dose. All the reviews I've read about the product have been really favourable, and I've had a few breeders of large-breed working dogs recommend it to me. We'll see what happens.

I'm really interested to know what the savants think. I do not have much idea on ingredients, looks good to me. Thanks for posting. It sure is way cheaper by far.

Well, in the very short term, I can say that the taste must be good...she's only been on it for a few days now, one chewy with each meal, and she gets all concerned and hovering and pestery if we don't give it like IMMEDIATELY after her meal. I think this is a new routine she really enjoys, she definitely looks forward to her new "treats". They really STINK so they must be nummy

If you see any difference in movement I would like to know also. Since Lukka had her acl surgery in Jan. she still limps and I know there must be pain in that darn knee of hers. Also she does have mild HD. Look forward to your reviews.
What about the Glyco-Flex I, II are they not as good?

Thanks for sharing this - also interested to see what results you get. My in-laws dog is getting quite sore these days and we have to start thinking about a good supplement for them to give her. I never would have thought of trying to find something cheaper on e-bay!
