Hi everybody!!

Maggie had surgery for a torn ACL a few months ago. She's doing a lot better and tomorrow we'll go for her final app't. If she's good then I can finally let her off the leash. The poor pooch has had to watch her sister run around the yard since she's had the surgery.

Anyway, the vet gave us Synovi G3 Soft Chews to help with joint and to prevent any future arthritis. She's almost 3yo and I was wondering if she will needs these for the rest of her life?? And if the granules version is good as well??

Thanks.

My RB Buddy took Synovi MSM for several years after my Vet
changed him over from Cosequin DS. I really believe the Cosequin
worked great at strengthening his leg muscle & joints. I did use
the Symovi granules for the last 1 1/2 years with him.

I do think the suppliment should be taken for the rest of their lives. It takes about 6 weeeks to begin to see an improvement
in their health & well being. Best of luck to you & Maggie. :)

Carina has been taking Synovi MSM in granules form for about two years, and I also give her organic flax seed oil to lubricate her joints. She's doing quite well with that combination, considering she has arthritis and will be 12 tomorrow. Whether or not Maggie will have to take the Synovi for the rest of her life is something you should ask the vet.
Best wishes for Maggie's quick recovery.

I swear by Arthogen. My vet recommend it because Chrissy was stiff. I have seen a complete turn around in her! She can jump up on the bed and gets up and down the stairs now. (She turns 16 next month!!!) You can find the Arthogen at www.BestPetSupplements.com. They answered all my questions and sent the pills quickly and were cheaper than at the vets office. I hope this helps!
