VetriScience® GlycoFlex® 3 Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chews represent Stage 3 of our comprehensive joint health program, formulated for dogs needing advanced support. This formula is recommended by veterinarians for geriatric dogs, working breeds, and as follow-up care after orthopedic surgery. Clinical research shows GlycoFlex 3 can increase hind-leg strength by up to 41% in just 4 weeks, making it one of the most trusted solutions for canine joint care. Each two-chew serving delivers 10 powerful active ingredients: 1000 mg glucosamine HCl (shrimp & crab), 1000 mg MSM, 600 mg GlycOmega™ brand Perna canaliculus (green-lipped mussel), 100 mg DMG, 50 IU Vitamin E, 24 mg Vitamin C, 10 mg manganese, 5 mg grape seed extract, 2 mg L-glutathione, and 0.002 mg selenium. Together, they support cartilage resilience, connective tissue strength, joint lubrication, collagen production, and oxidative balance. Unlike mussel powders or extracts, GlycOmega™ Perna utilizes the entire organism, preserving natural fatty acids and bioactives for superior results. Antioxidants (C, E, grape seed extract, selenium, glutathione) further promote immune health, detoxification, and a healthy inflammatory response. These bite-sized chicken-liver flavored chews are highly palatable, turning daily dosing into treat time. Manufactured in the USA in an FDA-registered, SQF-certified facility and carrying the NASC seal, GlycoFlex 3 guarantees clean, safe, and effective joint support with no artificial colors or fillers. Feeding directions are simple: initial 4–6 weeks: up to 30 lbs = 1 chew daily; 31–60 lbs = 2 chews daily; 61–100 lbs = 4 chews daily; 101+ lbs = 5 chews daily.

Great Product
My dog has ivdd, and I think these helped a lot with healing his spine. It will never be the same, but he is stronger, and can walk and run now. The pills are giant, so I just take the capsule apart and empty the powder into his food. He’s a voracious eater, so he has no problem with it. It digests easily and doesn’t hurt his stomach.

Glyco-Flex III is Awesome for Arthritic or Joint Issues! – Update 5-9-20
A while ago, I wrote a review about Glyco-Flex III and what a great product it has been for my lab who was born with severe genetic arthritis from birth and before the age of 2, had TPLO surgery in both back legs.I adopted my lab at 4yrs old in 2012, it is now 2020. He he has been on Glyco-Flex for over 8 yrs. and is still doing AMAZING on it! When he originally was placed on Glyco-Flex, we followed directions for dosing up to 4 chews a day, then through to maintenance at 2 chews a day. When he turned 10 yrs old, we noticed he was struggling get up and down and doing stairs, so we placed him on the max dose of 4 chews a day (with vet approval) and that brought him back to his normal mobile self.He is now 12 yrs old, and as his arthritis progresses, we noticed he struggles more and more getting up and down on non-carpeted floors, doing stairs (or any at all), and doesn’t want to run or jog like he used to. We called our vet and asked for solutions and they indicated that if we don’t want to do prescription pain meds, it would be ok to increase to 5 chews a day, just watch his bowel movements and stomach. If he does ok, it’s safe to keep him on 5 a day so we tried it. He has now been on 5 chews a day for over 6 months, hasn’t had any negative issues and is actually running, jogging, playing, and doing stairs! He acts very happy, is playful, and doesn’t show signs of pain. He’s more playful now than ever and always has a smile on his face.I simply can’t say enough good things about how Glyco-Flex III has saved our lab and gave him his mobility and life back. For a dog who was born with severe genetic arthritis and vets recommended he be euthanized, has proven them all wrong. Having TPLO surgery early in his life clearly was the right choice his former owners made. And when we adopted him at 4 yrs old, placing him on Glyco-Flex III has given him a lifetime of fun, mobility, and pleasure.I am not an employee, nor associated with VetriScience in any way, shape or form. I am not a paid or unpaid reviewer and have received no gifts, kickbacks, or anything from anyone to write this review. I am simply a customer who is using this product and wanted to provide everyone out there a real, unfiltered, authentic and genuine review of how this product is helping my dog live a normal life without the use of prescriptions.I hope you find this helpful and wish you all the best.

This stuff is amazing!
This really helped my maltipoo. I noticed my dog has not been jumping on my bed for a while and she no longer jumps up when I give her treats. After about a month of using Vetriscience, my dog jumps on my bed every night now. She seems happier now too. She still can’t jump for treats but am still amazed how much she has improved. Sometimes she doesn’t want to eat the treat so I just put some peanut butter on it and then she eats it

Effective, but big
I really think these work great, but I have weiner dogs and these pills are huge. They are very easy to break open, but dont expect to just be able to slip these into a treat if you have picky little doxies like mine. Truly believe they helped my oldest regain use of his legs.

Magical! My elderly bulldog is refreshed from barely walking!
2 weeks, 2 Short weeks – and my dog is feeling like a new dog!! I have an old (8yo) English Bulldog who was already getting stiff. Then he survived a heat stroke but has some ugly after effects showing up. He could barely walk and was clearly in a lot of pain and I was teetering on the unthinkable because I don’t want to watch him suffer. But I happened upon this product, and although not my normal price range, I decided to give it a try. It’s been 2 weeks of 4 tabs a day (oh, and he actually eats them without having to be tricked with some other food around it!) He is now back to just a little stiff, but walking across the yard again for all of his “smells”, hopping back up on the couch (he couldn’t for a while) and today he even had a couple little bouts of a “trot” when he could barely walk himself outside to go to the bathroom just 2 short weeks ago.So if your dog has a joint problem, from age or type of dog he is, or even an injury – grab you a bag and maybe see the same unbelievable results I have. We have tried so many “chews” over his lifetime – most of which he refuses to eat – and had little to no results until NOW

Has made a noticeable difference in dogs condition
Can’t say enough about this product! We have a Viszla that is having spinal issues after rupturing a disc. We take her to a chiropractor and I told her I had her on this. She said to keep her on it for the rest of her life because it is definitely helping along with the chiropractic treatments. We live in an RV and she gets up and down the stairs with no issues! This is a definite must if your dog is having spinal issues to help keep them going.

Money well spent for improvement to his quality is life
Vet recommended for older Pit mix with knee problems. While he still walks with a slight limp due to arthritis, this has definitely made a difference. It has taken about six weeks, but he’s back to a more playful version of himself.

Seems to be helping my Pomeranian. He has a disc issues . he appears more energetic. little bit like his old self . Will definitely continue him on these . Trying to wing him of the Prednisone now .

I don’t know if these have helped. I got them for a young rescue gsd who hadn’t gas the best start in life and came to us very underweight. It has given me piece of mind that it’s helping her joints as she grows a bit more and puts the weight on.Update: after a pack, the dog was much less stiff. I didn’t get another and about a year later she started showing signs of stiffness, a bit of a limp after a long sleep etc so got another. Sorted, all limber again so I’m convinced. Changed from 4 to 5 star (just wish they were cheaper!)

My Bernese Mountain dog is 8.5 years old. She got plenty different type supplements recommended by VET in different countries, but none of them were as good as these. The best purchase ever! Nice walks are back on track without any suffer.

My spaniel dog had ruptured discs and went paralysed in back legs and now has IVDD. He had the operation and took 6 weeks to walk again. He’s been on this for around a month now, together with Yumove. He does seem to be getting stronger. I will keep using this, just in case it is this that is helping.UPDATE AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE: My boy has become so much stronger and I think these really do help. I switched from Yumove to Glycoflex 3, so now use both VetriDisc and Glycoflex 3 and they really do help him stay strong and enjoy life.
