Side effects of glucosamine sulfate for horses and dogs

Glucosamine sulfate is a commonly used substance in food supplements. It promotes the rebuilding of the body's own cartilage, and inhibits the enzyme that breaks down the cartilage. Currently, there are no documented side effects of glucosamine sulfate for horses. However, a few dogs with sensitive stomachs may react to dietary supplements of glucosamine. If your dog has a reaction, we recommend that you reduce the dose for a few days and let the dog get used to the substance. Then you can return to the normal dose. However, we have not had any reported reactions to our product Complete , which contains glucosamine sulfate, since its launch about 15 years ago.

Complete are chewable tablets with meat flavor for dogs. Contains glucosamine sulfate in combination with hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. These three components are found naturally in the cartilage and act synergistically for the joint to function normally. Recommended for the active, competitive or older dog.

Glucosamine sulfate in dog food supplements is often obtained from shellfish shells. There are some dogs that are allergic to shellfish in particular. If your dog is allergic to shellfish, you should check where the glucosamine sulfate in the supplement you choose is produced from.

Glucosamine sulfate and its function

Glucosamine sulfate is an important natural component of articular cartilage in both horses and dogs. As its function is to support the rebuilding of the body's own cartilage, as well as inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down the cartilage, glucosamine sulfate helps to maintain joint flexibility. This, in turn, should provide the best conditions for the joint to function normally. Read more aboutglucosamine sulfate as a dietary supplement for horses and dogs .
