Ok, I have a 9 year old lab and as the summer rolls around she’ll be in the water non-stop. So I’m looking at some joint supplements because I’m a firm believer in the preventative maintenance plan that’s why I switched her from Iams to Evo (Btw, she has been doing really good on Evo, I recommend it to everyone!)

Anyways, I usually order my stuff from Dr. Foster & Smith because I’ve been using them for years great service, etc, etc etc. However now I’m doing some research on Dog Supplements specifically targeting mobility and I have found a product but I don’t see it on their site or any other pet retail store I visit (thatpetplace.com, petsmart.com, dog.com, etc).

From the Guaranteed Analysis it looks like a quality supplement, but I hear Missing Link is really good stuff as well (my neighbor uses it on their goldie). So my question in two parts. 1. Has anyone heard of Fit Dog Flex-tra 2. What amount of mg per ingredient should I be looking for?
Thanks I’ll check those guys out. What I’m trying to do is compare the active ingredients but I’ll admit, I get a bit lost sometimes with some of these products trying to do the math to figure out how much my dog will be getting of it.

Why do they have to make it so confusing!
To Vet Tech and Golden Gal…here’s a link to this Flextra one, let me know what you think. I’m in the process of doing the math for the links you guys gave me

   My 90 lb shepherd gets day which you start that to do the exact that really the most painful to that is bit pricey but the exact that to them appropriately if you dose my 90 lb shepherd gets day of the age to gradually work her up to help them to them now but its good unless you are beef flavored.
   My shepherds are beef flavored chewies just make sure if they wont really like it much some diets have started carrying dasquin once daily which you are dosing them keep their muscle mass after long day of the exact that really like it im not sure of icing.
