Our 5 month old berner Riley's coat has recently become longer, very shiny, wavy and his tail is starting to get feathery. It seems like he has an adult type coat now everywhere except the top of his head and behind his ears, which is still that downy puppy type fuzz. I was wondering if any of you

The other thing to be concerned about when reviewing brands and ingredients is digestibility. I believe even opening the capsule and putting the powder on food makes a difference. The latest fad in vitamins is a spray delivery system for better absorption. More effective? I don't know. When

Hi Everyone- Cruciate injuries 'used' to be considered an out of shape, sports injury in middle aged dogs, as Sherri has pointed out...but I can attest personally that many, many Berners succumb to this injury, regardless of age or physical structure. For instance, my Tully was only 4 yrs old

Vilma's advice is well taken. I do not buy a generic. The Cosamin DS for humans that I buy for my dogs is manufactured by the same company that manufactures Cosequin DS for veterinary use -- Nutramax. The human version claims to be the only G/C sulfate brand proven effective in controlled U.S.
