Even then this product can be used effectively, but reaction may take a little longer. When your animal is walking smoothly again, you can reduce the dose to half of the indicated dose.
Administration
Can be given through the feed. Moisten the powder so that it is not blown out of the food bowl.
Movement deserves extra attention for flexible joints. Even movement is very important, think of walking, cycling and swimming. Extreme strain should be avoided as well as abrupt movements and jumping. Being overweight also puts extra stress on the joints, ligaments and tendons. Animals that are difficult to lose weight despite adjustments to the diet and exercise pattern can be supported with Phytonics Gluco balance. Always provide good quality food.

Reduce the dose gradually to the lowest possible dose.
