How are dog joint products different from human joint supplements?
Pharmaceutical grade glucosamine and chondroitin are used for human joint supplements and are found in some supplements for dogs, including all of those with a Drs. Foster & Smith label. Joint supplements for dogs contain ascorbic acid to help in the uptake of the ingredients by the body. In addition, canine joint products are dosed in the correct size for dogs and are often flavored to make them more palatable to pets. They also come in granules, such as Joint Care Advanced 2 with MSM, that can be mixed with the food.
