Green-lipped mussel extract

I've had good success using this supplement, from back in the 80's to today. I've recently read online that this can be a good treatment for cats and dogs to aid arthritis and other joint pains. (Read the anecdotal reviews on Amazon.)

My question is: are there any vets on site to varify this and what kind of dosage is recommended?

Thanks guys.

    Dont think you'll find vets are allowed to do this, non can comment on any animal without seeing it first and getting a full history.
    I'd suggest just having the convo with your own vet. They will probably push their own alternative (Glycoflex probably) which contains similar, but you dont have to go that route if they will give advice on dosage.

  • Sorry guys, perhaps I should have specified that it's for cat use, not dogs.

    Any cat owners used it?
  • Dog, cat, human, it works in the same way, just ask your vet about the correct doseage.
