My Chiropractor told me not to follow the directions on the bottle. I should start myself as well as my girls on one a day and if need be increase from there. My girls are 49 and 79lbs. I give them one pill in the morning with food or a treat.

Are you starting Jake as preventitive measures or does he already have arthritis / hip dysplacia etc?

I would start him on 1 pill a day in the morning (with food or a treat) and continue that for a week or so. If need be increase him to a pill in the morning and another one at night. See how that goes and increase the morning and evening dosage as you see necessary

He's a big boy it sounds like, I give mine the 500 mg, but they also have 750 mg you can buy.

Good Luck!

What kind of food are you feeding him? There is also a product called Missing Link that is really good. It comes with and without glucosamine.
