That's an easy one to get and to administer, anyway. You can mail-order it. I get it from healthypets.com under the brand name Cosequin for Cats, and put it in Smudge's canned food. He actually started getting it for urinary problems, which he doesn't have any more, but as he's creeping up (silently, on his fluffy toehawks) on his 15th birthday, I still give it to him just as a preventative and to keep his joints comfortable. As far as I know there are no side effects. I take it too (the human version!)
