Glyco-Flex I,II, and III Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Cold weather can be tough for pets, and just like us, some times it can make their joints stiff and uncomfortable. 

When I was a vet assistant, I saw this a lot.  Pet parents would be really concerned about their furbabies not being as playful and just stiff; especially the older dogs.  Before prescription drugs were tried, a lot of the veterinarians I worked with would try a dietary supplement called Glucosamine.   Glucosamine has been "known" to help with some joint problems.  I can't really go into details since I am not a doctor.

I recently saw Glyco-Flex on EntirelyPets.com, and not only does it contain that Glucosamine that almost all of the vet's recommend, it also contains Perna canaliculus and Dimethylglycine just in their base formula.  So you are getting a triple dose of joint support in one dose of Glyco-Flex.  

There are some differances between the Glyco-Flex I, II, and III.  Here is the best explination I found between them.

Glyco-Flex I is recommended by veterinarians for puppies, adult dogs, and breeds predisposed to hip and joint dysfunction.
Glyco-Flex II is formulated for adult and maturing dogs, especially sporting and working breeds. Additional ingredients include methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and manganese, a mineral synergist of glucosamine.
Glyco-Flex III is for geriatric and retired working and sporting breeds. This powerhouse adds the bioflavonoid grape seed extract, and the powerful antioxidants Vitamins C & E, L-Glutathione, and Selenium, all which fight environmental effects on a cellular level.

With Glyco-Flex you do a "loading" dose for a week and then do "supportive" dosing for as long as your vet deems it safe.  

Glyco-Flex is not hard to give either.  Each chew-able tablet comes in a dog friendly flavor, so your little four legged baby shouldn't have any trouble taking it.

Bailie has no trouble taking her Glyco-Flex II

All three of my dogs, Evie (doesn't know she's a dog, so no one tell her, she is also not pictured due to health issues), Bailie, and Tobie, are under 30 lbs, so they only have to take 1/2 a tablet.  Bailie is 10 years old, so I am giving her the Glyco-Flex III.  Tobie is 5, so he is getting the Glyco-Flex II. 

As always you should be totally informed with what's in any product you give yourself, your children, and your pets.  Talk to your vet! Read about your options.  If you have any questions about Glyco-Flex, here is all of the technical information you might need.

If you would like to try Glyco-Flex for your dog, there are a number of website and pet stores that sell it.  I got mine from EntirelyPets.com, and I've been very pleased with it.  

EntirelyPets.com is also letting me give one very lucky pet loving reader a bottle of Glyco-Flex (winner gets to choose formula I,II,or III) 


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
