How to Give Your Dog Liquid Glucosamine

One of the best benefits of using the glucosamine supplement that comes in the liquid form is that it's so very easy to give the doses to on a daily basis. If you've ever tried to give dogs pills or tablets, you know how difficult this process can be. One either has to push the capsule or pill to the back of the dogs throat far enough with your fingers that he or she is forced into the swallowing action and thus swallowing the pill. In some dogs this is easy, but other dogs this can be quite difficult.

Another solution for pills and capsules is to wrap them in a piece of peanut butter covered bread. We've used this method a lot with great success as dogs love peanut butter it's a great way to hide the pill from them as they eat the bread and butter. This of course works well, but is slightly messy as one has to get a loaf of bread out, pinch off a piece of the bread, open the peanut jar, place the peanut butter on the bread, and feeding the dog.

Many glucosamine supplement products come in the form of pills and capsules. Therefore, the above descriptions are often used by pet owners when supplementing their pets with glucosamine in those forms. But another form of glucosamine is the liquid kind. And as a side note, besides being easier to give, some research shows that liquid form is readily absorbed and has more immediate benefit then do capsules and pills. Also the former have fillers which are unneeded which the liquid does not have.

When giving flexicose liquid glucosamine to dogs, all that's required is simply pouring the supplement over the food at meal time. As the dogs consume the food, the glucosamine is also eaten in the supplementation takes place without any fuss or mass. Some liquid glucosamine comes in the form of beef flavor and thus providing the dog some added reason for eating the food. But even those products that are especially flavored in this manner are usually never turn away from my dogs. Unlike cats, dogs are not very picky when it comes to their food. Delhi just about anything as most of us are well aware of.

One last note, most liquid glucosamine products come in bottles that have a built-in reservoir at the top of the bottle with measuring marks which can be used to squeeze the necessary amount of the product to the proper location of dosage depending on the size of the animal. This is quite nice because there is then no need to use measuring utensils or droppers to measure out the proper dosage each day.
