Dogs, like their human companions come in all shapes and sizes. But just like us, our four legged friends often begin to show the signs of aging: stiff movements, restlessness while sleeping, problems getting comfortable while lying down and general irritability when certain parts of their bodies are touched or exercised.

If your dog is starting to show some joint mobility problems, a good Hip and Joint supplement might be just the ticket to help them regain the flexibility and vigor they showed as puppies. Even before your beloved pooch begins to show the joint mobility issues that nearly all dogs show with age, Glucosamine based formulas can be administered in smaller doses to help prevent joint problems in the future.

Because it comes as a liquid, rather than a pill or a powder, Valridge’s K9 Glucosamine GX is more easily administered to your dog, simply by putting on their food at meal time. No more trying to force a pill down an unwilling patient’s mouth, or trying to hide it in a treat. Simply put the recommended dosage directly on their food before serving it, and your dog will happily take their supplement without a struggle, or wasting half of it on the floor.

Also, scientific studies have shown, that the all-natural liquid formulas like Valridge’s  K9 Glucosamine GX are more readily and more efficiently absorbed into your pooch’s circulatory system than a comparable solid supplement. There are no needless additives or unnecessary ingredients in Glucosamine GX, because it is administered as a liquid, the only ingredients are what is necessary for your dog’s continued or returning good joint health. It contains no soy or milk derivatives, no yeast, corn, wheat, gluten salt, starch or sugar.

What are those ingredients?

1.. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), an organosulfur compound that is used to treat osteoarthritis, as an antioxidant and to reduce inflammation of joints in humans as well as animals. MSM is a natural compound found in Swiss Chard and similar “greens” bearing plants. Valridge uses the purest form of sulfur available for the supplement industry.

2.. Glucosamine Hydrochloride is a well-known dietary supplement obtained from the exoskeleton of marine crustaceans, like shrimp and lobsters and is used as a pain reliever/anti-inflammatory in dogs and horses to reduce the pain and ease mobility in the treatment of osteoarthritis.

3.. Chondroitin Sulfate is also used in the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs, and has been shown to relieve some of the pain and inflammation in dog’s joints that were once considered simply a part of the aging process.

4.. Hyaluronic Acid and Manganese Chelate: both of these ingredients are part of the formulation of K9 Glucosamine GX, and are used to treat osteoarthritis and encourage tissue recovery from the damage caused by arthritis.

Valridge did not cut any corners in offering this K9 Glucosamine GX which was designed for your dogs, to help them enjoy better health and movement long into their senior years, ensuring they can still walk, play and even run with you as they did when they were young.
