If my pets food lists Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate as ingredients, do I still need to supplement with Connectin®?
You probably will. The amount of these ingredients in most pet foods falls below the levels required to support joint health. Take a look at the labels. Pet food companies normally report the amount of glucosamine and chondroitin combined, in units of ppm or parts per million. Given suggested daily feeding amounts, 400ppm of glucosamine is only 89.2 mg of glucosamine per day for a 40-60 pound dog. One Connectin® tablet for dogs contains 500 mg glucosamine, plus chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and 9 natural herbs. These higher levels and more complete formula were proven to work fast in clinical trials by independent veterinarians.
