Older dog needs help with joint problems.

Thanks for all the hlep. I do have a question now that I have researched the OsteobiFlex a bit. There is regular, double and triple strength. Would it be better to give her a stronger one and maybe a lower dosage since there are some differences in the ingredients or should she not have the other? What strength would I give her of either the regular or the stronger ones? She is between 38 - 40 pounds and guessing her age she would be within a year or so of around 12 yrs. old. Thanks.

I don't recommend self-dosing....discuss it with your vet....tell him which product you're interested in, he can advise a starting dose of the mg amount he feels is best for your dog in particular.

Costco also carries it, if you are a member. It's often cheaper.

It's even cheapet at Sam's Club. WalMart has the best price except of the warehouse stores. As for dosing - read the Cosequin site - the dosing is the same - start high and taper off. Cosequin is also a very good product that is made for dogs, but it contains a form of Vitamin C that some dogs can't tolerate (they throw it up). My only experience with it was with Mickey, who did not tolerate it, that's why I tried the OsteoBiflex. Generics didn't work for him, just the OsteoBiflex. I am convinced that the addition of the nutroceuticals helped him through the last several years of his life. He was never cured', but obviously much better then before I started treatment
