Osteoeze Active Dose

[sallyandtex]

Hello all,

My lovely vet has recommended Osteoeze "Active" for my Sally.

He said to get this one as it has all the required things in the right ratio for absorption for the dogs into the joints.

He said to check online for the dose...but I can't find it anywhere!

The capsules are 500mg glucosamine, and 400mg chondroitin.

Sally is 25kg. I was hoping for one capsule per day would be ideal (:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much :)...but those ratios are not the same as the osteoeze active. My vet said the Chondroitin needs to be almost same proportion as the glucosamine?

Anyone have the correct dose for 500mg Glucosamine and 400mg Chondroitin? per capsule?

:D

I may have found some info on a web search...

now just to convert from pounds to kg!

Many veterinarians recommend approximately 500 mg of Glucosamine and 400 mg of Chondroitin per 25 pounds.

For oral Glucosamine supplements, here’s the daily dosage that one veterinarian recommends:

•Dogs 5-20 pounds: 250-500 mg

Dogs 20-45 pounds: 500 mg

Dogs 45-90 pounds: 1,000 mg

Dogs more than 90 pounds: 1,500 mg

And the same veterinarian’s recommendation for the daily dosage of Chondroitin supplements:

•Dogs less than 80 pounds: 900 mg

Dogs more than 80 pounds: 1,800 mg
