is there any evidence for glucosamine, etc for joint health?


my impression is that there isnt any. but i have had another vet recommend it to me for my dogs. 2 big boys w big dog bad hips.
it has never been recommended to me by a doc, and i have joint issues. think i have even asked about it, and been told no. dont recall clearly, tho.

if there is actual evidence please post a link. and not to natural news or any other purveyor please.

eta-the plural of anecdote is not data. i am looking for well constructed studies. for or against.

I think the rats are making your dogs sick.

For the record, this Big Dog's hips work just fine.

So ... if she doesn't like snake oil being snuck onto the marketplace in the guise of "nutritional supplements", what Presidential administration enabled that? Wasn't it WJC's?

Hey DUmmie, take a fist full of 'ludes'(horse tranquillizers) and try to call me in the morning, if your hips are still bothering you.
