How much glucosamine and chondroitin is in each chew?

Each soft chew has 500 mg of glucosamine HCl and 200 mg of chondroitin sulfate, plus vitamin C.

How many chews should I give my dog?

Follow the label's weight-based directions and your vet's advice. The chew count rises with the dog's weight.

Is this for older dogs or active dogs?

Both. It is marketed for active dogs of all sizes and is commonly used for older or stiffer dogs.

Will a picky dog eat it?

Most do, since it is a soft chicken-and-cheese chew. Some owners report dogs refusing it, so introduce it gradually.

Can I give it alongside other joint supplements?

Check with your vet first to avoid stacking glucosamine and chondroitin beyond a sensible total.

Does it replace veterinary care for joint disease?

No. It is a supplement for cartilage and mobility support, not a treatment for diagnosed arthritis or injury.
