I ordered the cat one in the end. I thought I read that Sulphate is more usable by the body. Maybe I will have to look for a different one then  :tired:

Glucosamine dosing - OK to give dog version?
« Reply #1 on: April 20, 2009, 09:52:44 AM »
I usually buy Alice the cat & small dog size Noractive sachets which contain 100mg of Glucosamine + 100mg of Chondroitin. The next size up sachets for medium dogs contain 300mg of each but the pack is only about 90p more. I was thinking of buying the larger pack and splitting a sachet over 3 days as it works out a lot cheaper (spending a bomb ATM on cat stuff) any thoughts? - I'm sure it is exactly the same thing and I don't think dosing has to be 100% spot on. I wouldn't do it with meds though  :scared:

Also, can anyone conform that Glucosamine Sulphate s better than HCl?

Thanks
