We Use Glyde and cartrophen shots. I have tried Sashas blend and joint gard and dont know if there is any difference but I use glyde on advise from a vet. try them all. Anotner option is Adicell I had a consult about this and the cost was around $5000 with a 80% success rate. I would say cartrophen is a must at around $20 a shot your looking at $320 a year if you get it done quarterly which is probably an extreme case but that will still work out cheaper than most of the powders over a year.

So is anyone using Canidae yet? any reviews would be good.

Im currently looking for a new vet around the coomera/oxenford/noorthern helensvale area. Just not happy with the current one as they seem to be getting more focused on sale pitching than my dogs. Anyway I have done a little research and found oxenford vets with DR Chris Dixon or Anvet in upper coomera with Dr Jason Schulz. Does anyone use either or can someone recomend anymore?

I dont mind if its every 3 or 6 months, its just that its gone from 1 shot at $26 to $38 and a $57 consult for the first of the 4 shots and a $36 on the last of the shots. the 2 in the middle get done by the nurse/secretary so no consult fee but that means its gone from costing $104 for 4 shots to $245. Im thinking of changing vets to be honest.

what sort of money are you guys paying for this? Is what im paying about the same?

Hi all, My dog has been getting Catrophen shots for about 2 yrs now. Originally it was 1 shot per week for 4 weeks then 1 shot every 3-6 months but at my recent visit we were told its been proven better to get the 1 shot every week for 4 weeks cycle, every 3-6 months. Is this the case? Also The vet is now using Zydax which is about $10 dearer than the Cartophen that was used at the start. Im also being charged for a consult on the first and last Visits so when you add it up its becoming quite a hefty bill. Is it possible to get this stuff and do it yourself?
