Overview
You can lower the maintenance dose to every other day after your pet shows consistent indications of improvement. Maintenance doses are acceptable to administer to healthy dogs for long-term joint support. You may opt to pull the capsules apart and administer in your pet`s usual meal by simply sprinkling the capsule`s contents on top. Wet or moist food is preferable for ensuring that your pet gets the entire amount. The first administration time is recommended to be 4 to 6 weeks. Certain dogs, on the other hand, may react more swiftly. Reduce the daily number of capsules to maintenance levels at that time.
