Every dog is different, but your pup could begin to see results within a few weeks. For best results, your dog should take the recommended daily dose for at least 3-4 months. In a randomized, double-blinded, positive-controlled study by the University of Illinois Department of Animal Sciences, in which dogs with osteoarthritis received glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate for 70 days, significant subjective improvement in scores for pain, weight bearing, and overall condition were observed relative to baseline.

A study published in the Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics concluded that dietary supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate have the capacity to provide anti-inflammatory and anabolic effects that could protect joints. This protection includes not only cartilage, but also bone. Furthermore, the researchers stated that dietary supplements could provide long-term rather than short-term effects as long as they are regularly and conscientiously administered.

Definitely not! While older dogs have higher incidence rates of hip and joint issues such as osteoarthritis, younger dogs are unfortunately affected as well. Per the American College of Veterinary Nutrition ~20% of dogs over one years old and ~90% of dogs over five years old are afflicted by osteoarthritis.
