Wow, what a BIG day for the kids, Anna!!! Your new white coat sounds terrific and I'm so glad to hear that Angus is already doing better! My Cody is on Glyco-Flex II It is expensive!! $60.00 for .....but well worth it. And it does take a while for them to get a high enough blood level to start to see the results of both the Glyco Flex and the Adequan. We have several dog massage therapists here and those vets certified in VOM and I have heard great things about it. I would go with it if your vet recommends it as safe. A lot of friends I know swear by accupunture, as well.

My vet too, sells the Rx Eukanuba with glucosamine and chondroitin. But, my girls used to be on Eukanuba Large Breed (not senior) available at all the big stores, which also contains glucosamine and chondroitin!!...Hmmm, I'll have to check out the bag and note the "difference" in the two, next time I go to the vets. The "Senior" version" is probably lower in fat and calories. Mine are on Solid Good Holistic blend now. And I agree, Innova Senior is a terrific product and also contains glucosamine and chondroitin. Though my vet said that with the Glyco-Flex, I really didn't need a food supplemented with it also! All the food choices CAN make your head spin!!

There are SO many great senior foods out there available without a "Vet Rx." I would definitely recommend Innova Senior if you can find it in your area. Petco and such don't sell it; it's usually available at grain/feed stores and specialty pet stores.

And Anna, I know my Cody loves me to give her a gentle massage at night when we're laying on the floor. I gently work my way down her spine, legs, her hips and even her paws...her eyes roll back and in minutes she's sound asleep!!

Give Angus a BIG hug for me. I have such a soft spot for your beautiful boy. And in case you didn't know it, you're a GREAT Mommy! Hugs to you Angus!
