4ngi3 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi, My American Bulldog, Nelson was diagnosed with hip dysplasia when he was 11 months. We have been taking him swimming to keep his muscles in his legs strong as we weren't able to afford the hip surgery when he was diagnosed. I used to buy Glycoflex III from a USA online company but now there are some problems with these tablets getting thru Australian customs. Can anyone please recommend something that can be bought online or in Australia that has no probs with customs here that is just as good. I researched a lot of tablets when Nelson was diagnosed and Glycoflex was the best at the time. Now I'm down to my last bottle of Glycoflex and need to get some more glucosamine, chrondotin tablets. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavNrott Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have tried most of the products available and the best I have found is Joint Guard. If you go to the top of the page here you will see under the advertisements "View all Advertisers" The Joint Guard info will come up for you. The best price for this product is at http://www.greyhoundproductsdirect.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recommend it or greyhound products direct highly enough. Cheers, Westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILuvAmstaffs Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 After trying a lot of different products, I have my Amstaff on Flexicose. It's made a huge difference to his mobility & there has been no issues with delivery from the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking out joint guard.. my AB is 45kg, how long will 400g of Joint Guard last him?

Golden Rules Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 ESTER C TABLETSNOT vit c, ESTER C from the health food shop Sorry, slightly OT, but Cavandra, I have been using EsterC but have since stopped since I am now using Joint Guard as it says it has Vit C in it - should I use the Ester C as well as the Joint Guard do you think? I do have great faith in the Ester C and put down my dogs super fast healing after cruciate ligament surgery to the supplements I was using, specifically Ester C.

~Archie~ Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Joint Guard!!! The 400g tub has a sticker on the top that says it lasts a 20kg dog 6 months. I have used Joint Guard on my own dog & a few others in the family are on it & we are getting brilliant results!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hortfurball Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I was using human Glucosamine caps for my old boy's arthritis, but since Ebony was diagnosed with HD, I have them both on Joint Guard too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm not Cavandra, she doesn't seem to have been back online so I'll answer the question. I use both Ester C and Joint Guard on my big dogs with no problems at all. Have been using both products together for at least a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernStarPits Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I can vouch for Flexicose and the powder supplement MSM Glucosamine Choindroitin joint food put out by nutralife. The Flexicose canine you cant get anymore through customs but the human stuff is exactly the same. I found it a bit pricey though for the amount you get, and the nutralife product just as good.
