How to Give Your Dog Liquid Glucosamine

One of the best benefits of using the glucosamine
supplement that comes in the liquid form is that
it's so very easy to give the doses to on a
daily basis. If you've ever tried to give dogs
pills or tablets, you know how difficult this
process can be. One either has to push the
capsule or pill to the back of the dogs throat
far enough with your fingers that he or she is
forced into the swallowing action and thus
swallowing the pill. In some dogs this is easy,
but other dogs this can be quite difficult.

Another solution for pills and capsules is to
wrap them in a piece of peanut butter covered
bread. We've used this method a lot with great
success as dogs love peanut butter it's a great
way to hide the pill from them as they eat the
bread and butter. This of course works well, but
is slightly messy as one has to get a loaf of
bread out, pinch off a piece of the bread, open
the peanut jar, place the peanut butter on the
bread, and feeding the dog.

Many glucosamine supplement products come in the
form of pills and capsules. Therefore, the above
descriptions are often used by pet owners when
supplementing their pets with glucosamine in
those forms. But another form of glucosamine is
the liquid kind. And as a side note, besides
being easier to give, some research shows that
liquid form is readily absorbed and has more
immediate benefit then do capsules and pills.
Also the former have fillers which are unneeded
which the liquid does not have.

When giving flexicose liquid glucosamine to
dogs, all that's required is simply pouring the
supplement over the food at meal time. As the
dogs consume the food, the glucosamine is also
eaten in the supplementation takes place without
any fuss or mass. Some liquid glucosamine comes
in the form of beef flavor and thus providing
the dog some added reason for eating the food.
But even those products that are especially
flavored in this manner are usually never turn
away from my dogs. Unlike cats, dogs are not
very picky when it comes to their food. Delhi
just about anything as most of us are well aware
of.

One last note, most liquid glucosamine products
come in bottles that have a built-in reservoir
at the top of the bottle with measuring marks
which can be used to squeeze the necessary
amount of the product to the proper location of
dosage depending on the size of the animal. This
is quite nice because there is then no need to
use measuring utensils or droppers to measure
out the proper dosage each day.
