If your dog is suffering from arthritis or other types of joint pain, you should think about treating your dog with liquid glucosamine for dogs. I have a Jack Russell who was having a bit of trouble playing with our other dog, like he had before. Being a Jack Russell he was always on the go, and it was hard to see him obviously in pain and not moving freely. As dogs get older they suffer from arthritis and joint pain just like we do. We were keen to get Bruce free from his pain, so we went to the Vet to see what he could do to help us. There are a few treatment available from the Vets, as about 30% of dogs will suffer from arthritis in their life.

We tried a couple of things to begin with. Bruce started on a NSAID first, and when he didn't appear to be getting any better while he was on that, we tried Rimadyl. While he didn't suffer any of the side effects that these drugs can have, he just didn't seem to benefit from them at all. And as there can be side effects from Rimadyl, such as death and other side effects with other NSAIDs.


Then one day I tried liquid glucosamine for dogs and after about 2 weeks I noticed that Bruce was getting about a lot better than before. This was great news for us and Bruce as dogs don't know they're being given a supplement to help them get better. We knew when he was running around again that he was getting relief from the pain.

I'd been using a liquid glucosamine product myself with great results, but I wasn't sure if it would work for a dog as well as it did in people. I learnt that these products work great for a number of animals, but they were really good for dogs. Also using liquid glucosamine for dogs was the best way as it was easier for your dog to digest with their food.

Have you ever tried putting a pill in your dogs mouth? This is a hard task. Also they may just chew it in their teeth and not swallow it. I've had this problem before, and it's quite frustrating when they don't swallow it. Almost all types of liquid glucosamine for dogs are made with a nice flavor that dogs like. So they may think of it as a treat of some kind.


Also we increased the dosage for the first 2 weeks, so that the healing process started more quickly. It's really good to do this and your dog will get great benefit from it. Research has shown that glucosamine in the right form will ease your dogs joint pain in about 2 weeks. This turned out to be the case with Bruce too. Sometimes if you dog has really severe problems it may take longer than the 2 weeks, so don't despair if the results don't come as quickly as you would like.

If you would like to see your dog pain free, like my dog is now, perhaps you need to take a look at glucosamine for dogs. Maybe it could help your dog in the sane way it helped mine without the side effects of harmful drugs.

Gary helped his dog ease his arthritis pain. Maybe liquid glucosamine for dogs could help ease your dogs arthritis the same way it did for Bruce. He has more information about what worked for him at glucosamine for dogs.
