The DVM formulat I like is called Synovi G3. It has glucosamine, chondroitin as well as MSM and Omega 3 fatty acids. It is a chewable tablet. The reason I carry this brand is that they make this tablet in the same factory that makes their FDA approved medications. Thus this tablet is made to FDA standards (which nutriceudicals are not required to do here). This means that they have to hold samples from each batch for 5 years to be able to prove exactly what is in each sample.

YIKES ....only 15% So this basically means that if we do not purchase glucosamine/chondrotin supplements from the vet then we are just wasting our money?
