Nutritional Supplements for Dogs
Joint Pain and Arthritic Relief:
Joint Aid for Dogs

Joint Aid 4 Dogs is the only joint-enhancing supplement with Oatinol, a natural, beneficial oat extract.

Joint Aid 4 Dogs is a tasty supplement that provides improved joint function along with a wealth of added health benefits, all in a simple-to-use, highly palatable form.

With the onset of age, a dog's ability to effectively metabolize glucosamine, chondroitin, curcumin, glutamine, and MSM becomes greatly diminished. Combining these ingredients with Oatinol enables dogs to gain the maximum benefit from the supplements.

Superior Benefits:
-Maintains flexibility of movement for senior, sport, and working dogs.
-Supports the repair of normal wear and tear to joints, cartilage, and synovial fluid.
-Provides the building blocks for natural replenishment of the joints' functional elements.
-Easy to use - sprinkle the tasty mini pellets directly onto a dog's regular food.

Why Oatinol?
-Dogs are better able to digest, absorb, and utilize the joint additives, thanks to Oatinol's naturally occurring polar lipids and galactolipid emulsifiers.
-Oatinol supplies an array of natural antioxidants to further benefit a dog's immune system.
-Because dogs love Oatinol's flavor, they are more likely to ingest ALL the joint additives, every time.

Syn-Flex Glucosamine Complex

Syn-Flex is in a high quality liquid formula. Liquid has a higher absorption rate than powdered product. With the pharmaceutical grade glucosamine and eleven other beneficial ingredients, pet owners are able to notice a significant improvement.

Syn-Flex doesn't just stop your dog or cat's pain, it stimulates the production of proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan molecules which renew the supply of synovial fluid within the cartilage matrix of the diseased joint(s), rehabilitating the cartilage and allowing your pet to move without pain.

The high quality pharmaceutical grade liquid glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine HCL combine with twelve other ingredients in a formula designed to.

  • Effectively treat and prevent arthritis and hip dysplasia
  • Stop articular joint pain
  • Restore joint health
  • Stimulate the production of synovial fluid
  • Rebuild and rehabilitates damaged cartilage
  • Prevent future deterioration of cartilage
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Improve mobility
Why Syn-flex is Better

Glucosamine has been proven to effectively treat arthritis. However, most gluocsamine products on the market today come in capsule or pill form. This means that the glucosamine in these products is delivered in powdered form, which is not absorbed very well. Syn-flex, on the other hand uses pharmaceutical grade liquid glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine HCL for maximum bioavailability, and fastest relief.

Even better, Syn-Flex has no serious side effects unlike Rimadyl or Etogesic.

Syn-flex binds to damaged cartilage and boosts cartilage metabolism, facilitating repair processes. At the same time, it blocks the action of destructive enzymes that promote joint inflammation, break down the synovial fluid, and attacks the cartilage.

Syn-flex stimulates the synovial membrane to manufacture new synovial fluid to replace the thin, degraded fluid of joint disease. By doing so, Syn-flex helps lubricate, nourish and clean the cartilage.
