We started supplementing at 8 weeks. Our vet recommended it and we've just always added it to their daily regimen.

I know there's another thread on this subject on the boards that you may enjoy reading. Try a search to find it.

As far as the GycoFlex (sp?) goes, I've never tried it but there are a couple of users on the site who feel that it is superior. Again, I think you can find that info on the other thread.

Hope this helps!

We decided on the CortaFlex liquid because some believe that the liquid is absorbed more efficiently than the pills. It's also easier to give, in my case. I just put their dose on a plate and they lick it right up. :)

does anyone else have thoughts on whether or not it is OK to give a pup supplements? i was also considering giving him ester C.
