Hi Carol, I'm not tring to cause or contribute to a contoversy here, however, my vet (on the West Coast)also feels that Glucosamine/Chondroitin is the most effective treatment for joint afflictions. My 5 year old male, Polo, has been one Glucosamin/Chondroitin (500/400) tablet per day since he had patella surgery at two years of age. The patella problem was brought about by the misalignment of his hips (he has moderate HD which was undetected until his knee went bad). Long story made short, neither his patella or his hips give him the slightest bit of a problem -EVER! Prior to his surgery Polo often had difficulty getting up after he's been laying down for an extended period of time, and this was at two years of age!! Because of the results I've witnessed with my own dog, I am firm believer in the effectiveness of Glucosamine/Chondroitin.
