Glucocare Premium Joint Support for Dogs

Product Details

Virbac GlucoCARE Premium is supplied as a 250g powder for dogs. It is registered in South Africa as an animal-use nutritional aid and is formulated for measured daily administration with food.

The Premium formula differs from a basic glucosamine supplement by combining multiple nutritional ingredients, including omega-3, ASU and green-lipped mussel, in addition to glucosamine, MSM and chondroitin.

The 250g container can be used for dogs of different sizes. The number of daily servings provided by one container depends on the dog’s body weight and whether the standard or reduced maintenance amount is used.

Virbac recommends both short- and long-term supplementation. When improvement is well established, the manufacturer advises reducing the daily amount to half of the standard recommendation rather than discontinuing the supplement completely.

This nutritional product does not replace veterinary diagnosis or prescribed medication. Dogs with sudden or severe joint pain, injury, swelling or rapidly worsening mobility should be examined by a veterinarian.

Ingredients

Each 5g serving contains the following active nutritional ingredients:

Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM provide the central cartilage-support components of the formula. Omega-3, green-lipped mussel and ASU broaden the nutritional profile for dogs requiring ongoing joint support.

Ascorbic acid and manganese sulphate provide additional nutrients involved in normal connective-tissue processes, while beta 1-3D glucan completes the listed formulation.

The product contains green-lipped mussel as well as avocado and soybean-derived unsaponifiable material. Discuss the formula with a veterinarian before use in a dog with a known sensitivity to any of these ingredients.

The guaranteed analysis lists moisture at no more than 10%. Protect the powder from humidity and keep the container closed between servings.

Directions for Use

Sprinkle the recommended daily amount over the dog’s food. Weigh the dog or use a recent accurate body weight to select the correct serving.

GlucoCARE Premium is recommended for both short- and long-term use. Once improvement is well established, the daily amount may be reduced to 50% of the standard recommendation. Stopping the supplement completely may allow signs of discomfort to return.

• For animal use in dogs only
• Use the measuring scoop supplied with the container
• Sprinkle the powder over the dog’s normal food

• Consult a veterinarian before combining joint supplements
