Description
Glucosamine is a naturally occurring compound that forms part of normal connective tissues, including cartilage. When included in an animal’s diet, it contributes to the overall nutritional intake of building-block nutrients used by the body as part of normal tissue structure and maintenance.
As a feed ingredient, glucosamine is commonly included in balanced diets where nutritional support of joints and connective tissues is desired, particularly in animals with higher physical demands or as part of a varied, whole-food feeding approach.
Greenpet Glucosamine Powder is a pure human-grade powder. Suitable for dogs, cats and horses.

My toy poodle injured his knee joint when he was 8 months old. I was told he needed surgery and he would experience arthritis pain due to having such an injury.
After careful consideration and monitoring the injury as well as research, we never went ahead with the surgery.
I was aware of the benefits of Glucosamine for human joint pain relief so I immediately put him on to Glucosamine powder which I purchased from Greenpet.
He is now just over 7 years of age and I have used a couple of different Glucosamine powders but I have found the benefits from the HCL form are the best.
He gets a dose once every day mixed into his evening meal and if for some reason he misses a couple of doses ( usually through illness ) he starts to get a little sore in the leg. The injured leg is also managed through regular massage and he is happy and mobile and rarely shows discomfort.
I highly recommend Glucosamine HCL for joint health and I think without it my little dog would be on pain medication which would be causing him other side effects.

This Glucosamine Powder (Sulphate) is exactly what I needed to help my Cat. Even though she no longer has a Urinary Tract Infection, her bladder is easily inflamed. Her dry food consumption has been reduced to a small handful once a week, and adding a dessertspoon full of distilled water to her wet food, and fresh raw meat, as I feel she doesn’t drink enough water. After I Googled, “Glucosamine and Urinary Tract Blockages” I could see other people have had great success in getting rid of Cystitis, Urethral Obstruction, and Urinary Tract Infections. A pinch of Vitamin C Powder mixed in their food, (for a cat) twice a day has also given excellent results in clearing up Cystitis, and Urinary Tract Infections in Cats and Dogs. It strengthens their immune system as well, and gives them a real burst of energy. I’m so pleased that Greenpet sells the Vitamin C as well, in small and large supplies.

So far the glucosamine powder seems to be making a great difference. The struggle I was seeing with my dogs walking has improved, with them walking with more ease.
