Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: When should I move my pet up to this Level 2 tablet?

Ans: This tablet is suitable for adult dogs and cats over 12 weeks old, especially those experiencing mild to moderate joint stiffness. It is also beneficial for higher-need groups like large breeds and overweight pets that require extra daily support.

Q2: How many tablets should I give per day?

Ans: The dose adjusts based on weight: half a tablet for pets up to 10 lbs, a full tablet for 11 to 39 lbs, one and a half tablets for 40 to 79 lbs, and two tablets for 80 lbs or more, administered daily.

Q3: Why is this tablet described as "time released"?

Ans: Because the Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM inside are designed to release slowly rather than all at once. That gradual release is meant to keep joint support steady across the day instead of concentrated in a single dose.

Q4: Does this tablet work the same for cats as it does for dogs?

Ans: Yes, it is suitable for both, as long as your pet is over 12 weeks old. Adjust the tablet dose according to their weight using the dosage chart, and consult your vet about any cat-specific issues beforehand, especially for smaller cats.

Q5: My dog isn't improving on this tablet. What are my options?

Ans: Responses can differ greatly among pets. If you notice no improvement or if conditions worsen, discontinue the tablets and consult your veterinarian, as ongoing stiffness might require an alternative joint care approach.

Q6: What's actually inside each Level 2 tablet?

Ans: Each tablet contains Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin Sulfate, Yucca schidigera, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Omega fatty acids, released gradually to support cartilage, joint flexibility, and connective tissue in adult and larger pets throughout each day.

Q7: Is there a shellfish allergy concern with this tablet?

Ans: Since the Glucosamine is derived from shellfish, pets with known shellfish allergies may react to it. Check the ingredient list and consult your veterinarian if your pet has a history of allergies.

Q8: How is this different from the Level 1 tablet?

Ans: This version adds MSM to the Glucosamine and Chondroitin base found in Level 1, and it's aimed at adult pets, including large breeds and overweight pets, rather than younger pets just beginning preventative joint care routines.
