Topic Dog Boards / Health / Green Lipped Mussel vs Shark Cartilage

Could any one shed any light on these 2 products, eg, what they are, what they contain and what they claim to do. I would like to try something new for Dylan, who has osteoarthritis, unfortunately we have tried all sorts of glucosamine to no avail and the Bioflow collar didn't seem to help either. He has a pretty good quality of life, thanks mainly I think, to regular hydrotherapy sessions and regular walks. I have started giving both the dogs sardines/mackeral twice a week (boy, are they keen for that!!! :)) but would like to find a natural supplement that helps and will keep him going well into old age (he is only 4 years now)
Many thanks for any help!

Hayley (and Dylan of course!)

PS Dylan is a cross lab who weighs 36kgs

Hi Hayley (and Dylan) ...if you have a look here : Alternative Medicine about half way down the page under the heading *Glucosamine sulfate vs. cartilage extracts* you can get some info

Thanks Melody

It looks like glucosamine is a purer version of GLM and Shark Cartilage so I probably wouldn't be doing Dylan any favours with either. So, has anyone tried any other supplements??????!!!!!
