"Dog" Glucosamine vs. "Human" Glucosamine?

I recently heard that dogs should not be given the glucosamine that humans take, but rather need their own kind (same with horses), because they can't absorb it properly. It's apparently a formulation difference rather than a dosing one.

I have to admit I'm not really buying that, but wanted to know what others had to say since a Google search didn't unearth any clear answers.

Has anyone else heard of this before? I have noticed many members on here reporting the use of regular drugstore gluc/chon and getting positive results, so I can't imagine why it would matter.

Any thoughts?
