Most joint
support supplements contain glucosamine, which is a supplement that 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.
While many pets
can tolerate glucosamine without a problem, some may
experience symptoms such as Itchy skin, hot spots, diarrhea, vomiting and
other digestive issues. The
most likely culprit is a food allergy to shellfish since glucosamine is derived
from shellfish.
