Is Lubrigen a good equine joint supplement? Is it safe and tested?
Hello, thank you for using Boop by Petco! I think Lubrigen is a good supplement as a preventive to help with joint health. If the horse already has joint problems this product probably isn’t going to help that much; however, it won’t hurt to use it. As far as testing goes, the supplements are not regulated by any organization like the FDA so I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s tested. Most companies do their own anecdotal testing but I don’t think I would abide by that. If you’re looking for an actual FDA approved product that has had evidence based testing done, you should ask your vet about using Lengend and/or Adequan. Really, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. I suggest you talk to your veterinarian directly as they have your horses history and can probably help you make the best choice. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

My dog's Adequan shots aren't working. Should we keep giving them?
Adequan and other injectable polysulfated glycosaminoglycans (the active ingredient of adequan) showed promising results when they were first tested for use in arthritic patients, but the most recent studies suggest that it's not very beneficial. I have actually stopped recommending it, because the I have not seen sufficient data to show that they are worth the money and need for a regular injection. Some people still swear by it and may recommend in cases where everything else has failed, so that may be the reason it was given to Abbey. Considering Abbey does not appear to be getting any benefit from the injections, I would definitely question your vet about the need for further injections and also about the potential need for other medications to help with the pain. I hope that helps and Abbey feels better soon.

How much human glucosamine for my 25lb dog with joint pain?
There are many different recommended doses for glucosamine/chondroitin, but most veterinarians recommend between 15-30 mg/kg of the chondroitin component as a starting dose. This would be up to 327 mg, so you might want to give just one capsule per day. It should be fine to give with fish oil, although both supplements can potentially cause diarrhea so if you see any diarrhea you may want to ask your veterinarian about decreasing the dose or giving the supplements at different times.

My horse has arthritis. What are the best treatment options available?
There are many treatment options actually. Here they are: 1) Oral joint supplements like Dasuquin or Adequan is available over the counter 2) Fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store). These have natural anti-inflammatory properties. 3) Analgesics- strictly for pain: Tramadol OR Gabapentin from your local vet 4) Glycoaminoglycans- weekly Adequan injections for 4-6 weeks is a very effective treatment for osteoarthritis in pets. 5) NSAIDs- pet formulated only and prescribed by your veterinarian. Carprofen, Deramaxx, etc. Here is more information on osteoarthritis in pets and effective treatments to reiterate what I have suggested here. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=2863

My dog has EPI. Can glucosamine absorb without pancreas enzymes?
Yes, the glucosamine supplements are safe to give with EPI. It should get absorbed just fine. Dasuquin is a great product to use for arthritis and another product (that is injectable) called Adequan is another product to consider for the management of arthritis and promote healthy joints. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
