Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint is made for dogs that need advanced joint support, including active and working dogs, seniors, dogs with occasional soreness or discomfort, and dogs needing support during recovery. The formula is intended to support joint comfort and function as well as flexibility and mobility. It was formerly known as GlycoFlex Stage 3.

What kind of joint support are these chews formulated to provide?

VetriScience Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint chews are formulated to support mobility, joint lubrication, flexibility and joint structure. Glucosamine, MSM and green-lipped mussel form the core of the blend, alongside DMG and antioxidant ingredients. The formula is designed for dogs that need more than everyday maintenance support, including dogs showing occasional discomfort or soreness.

• Suitable for active, competitive, senior and working dogs.
• Also made for dogs who need support during healthy recovery, including after orthopedic surgery.

What ingredients does each serving contain?

Each two-chew serving provides 10 active ingredients in specified amounts. This makes it easy to see the contribution of the main joint-support ingredients and the additional nutrients in the formula.

• 1,000 mg glucosamine HCl from shrimp and crab, 1,000 mg MSM, and 600 mg GlycOmega™ brand Perna canaliculus (green-lipped mussel).
• 100 mg DMG, 50 IU vitamin E, 24 mg vitamin C, and 10 mg manganese.
• 5 mg grape seed extract, 2 mg L-glutathione, and 0.002 mg selenium.

The formula includes antioxidants to help reduce inflammation and nutrients that support the development of joint structure. The chews have a hydrolyzed chicken flavor; the flavor is also described as chicken-liver. The manufacturer notes this flavor is typically appropriate for dogs with protein sensitivities, though individual dogs may vary.

How do I use the chews, and what quality standards apply?

Follow the package directions, including an initial loading period of 4–6 weeks before transitioning to the maintenance phase.

The supplements are made in an SQF-certified facility.
