has anyone heard of,or tried this?winston and porter s "hip and joint rescue" its hailed as stronger than riaflex or yumove,and looking at the figures,these back that up,its also cheaper-£ 55 for 800mg,thats near the price for riaflex canine joint support s 400mg(£48)i was just about to buy that,when this advert popped up,and pennies being in short supply round here,im very tempted,it means more than another 2 months supply for an extra £7.anyone? thanks!x

Never heard of them but I had a look .seems to have all the right things in it. U could.conpare Ingredients and amounts against the other two .otherwise might be worth a try

If the ingredients stand up then I'd give it a go.  Make sure it's the right type of molecule for each thing in it - RIaflex has the most bioavailable forms of each thing as I recall, which is what makes it so good.

now thats confused me!the amounts of the 4 key ingredients are well above canine joint support,but i dont know the bioavailibility,how do i tell?thanks nikita and chris xx

Riaflex's Joint Plus says:

"Gluosamine HCl = 99% pure pharmaceutical grade

MSM = 99.82% pure pharmaceutical grade

Chondroitin = 92% pure"

I would want to know how 'pure' this other product is and whether pharmaceutical grade. 

I would also email Riaflex and give them the link to the other product and ask for their comments on it, since they do claim that Riaflex Joint Plus is "we are proud that Canine Joint PlusHA is the most concentrated canine joint supplement available."...

i will,thanks x

I can't remember the specifics off the top of my head.  But I *think* glucosamine HCl is the best kind.  There is also g. sulphate and possibly one or two others - it's a case of googling a bit to find out which is the most effective type as some are utilised better than others by the body.

Alternatively the cop out answer if it's cheap enough try this one and if it doesn't work then go back to riaflex. I've tried both riaflex and yumove and some other things and really have decided it is finding what works for your dog. That may of course be down to more science than pot luck as Nikita suggests
