Hi all,

Well, the subject says it all. What is the difference between glucosamine HCL and glucosamine sulfate? Which works for the human body? And would the same be true for the four-legged creatures in our families?

Thanks much,

See I thought the MSM would not be ok due to the Sulfer content. I

know there is much debate among the vet community about garlic,

onion/suflates and dogs/cats.

Of course our dogs do sometimes get a little bit of broth or other

table foods, but I do try to be mindful of the garlic content and

remove any whole pieces of garlic or onion before serving it to them.

I can try a smalll amount of the Glucosamine/MSM i have i guess and

hope it does not hurt them

Thanks for the input Suzi.

glucosamine hydrochloride is a bit more dense than the sulfate,

which means you get a little more glucosamine for the money . But,

there's really not a lot of difference between the two.

Is she still growing?? My one LGD had "growing pains" where the bones are growing faster than the body... back then (6 yrs ago) the vet gave him something.. and he got some anti inflamatories also... He was around 8 months..Sylvia <h10feet@...> wrote:

Well she is still growing. she'll be a year old next Month. So

perhaps that is part of the problem.

However, i have other concerns. The adoption place we got her from,

found her mother just a few weeks before her litter was born.

Apparently her mom was malnourished and there was concern that

niether the puppies or mom would make it. They nursed the mom back

to health and the puppies were all born ok. Then within a week of

adopting her, all the puppies in her litter got sick, with either

kennel cough or other problem. It took us several weeks to nurse

her thru all her ailments. but she does have that historyt hat

concerns me.

Anyway, I really think that supplementing her is going to yield alot

of help.

Both dogs a get a tablespoon mixed into their wet food 2 to 3 times

per week.

DH laughs because i call it puppy stew. I mix tablespoon of Super

Nut, 1/2 cap of plant enzymes, wet food, kibble, whatever veggies

are around like carrots or green beans, and sometimes chicken broth

or cooked rice. THEY LOVE IT.

The Gluc/MSM will now go into that mix for both.
