Most joint support supplements contain glucosamine. A Glucosamine supplement is often
given to middle age dogs and cats to help relieve the pain and soreness within
their joints. It is especially helpful for pets with deteriorating joints, dysplasia
(hip or elbow) and arthritis. Glucosamine acts as a shock absorber in the joint
and helps produce new cartilage and connective tissue in the joints..
Does your pet suffer from a Glucosamine
allergy? While many pets can tolerate glucosamine without a problem, there is a fair amount that might experience symptoms such as Itchy skin, hot spots, diarrhea, vomiting and other digestive system problems (gas,
rumbling stomach, acid stomach, etc.). The most likely culprit is a food allergy to shellfish since glucosamine is derived from shellfish.
