What Dosage Of Glucosamine & Chondroitin Would You Give To A 13kg Cavalier?
I give my Cavalier glucosamine capsules, but someone said to me that glucosamine & chondroitin works wonders for a dog with bad joints (they also had a Cavalier). What rough dosage & strength would you recommend of these capsules for a 13kg Cavalier?
Personally I’d calla nd ask the vet how much should be given..If you buy some that is designed for dogs then teh bottle itself will tell you how much.
Here is an article with more information about Glucosamine and chondroitin. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content…
I wouldn’t give your dog anything that you haven’t first checked for with the vet. Especially if you don’t know what doses should be given, you wouldn’t give a new pill to a child with no idea how much you should give first. Even if it was just a daily vitamin. Ask the vet his advise before giving your dog anything other then food and water!!
This is a question for your Vet. He/she is the only “someone” you should be listening to when it comes to the health of your pets.
I have an Irish Setter with joint problems and I swear by Vetzyme High Strength Flexible Joint Supplements – see link below. The webpage advises 0.5 a bite. My Setter weighs in slightly more at around 32kg and therefore has a whole bite!
The dosage the vet prescribes.
If you want the best answer, ask your vet.
