What animals can take this product?
The dosage instructions specifically provide servings for cats, dogs and horses.
Is this only for older animals?
No. Older animals are common users of joint supplements, but glucosamine may also be useful for active, working, sporting or larger animals whose joints are exposed to greater everyday demands.
Can I give it to my dog before they start having joint problems?
