Description
Dog arthritis and joint pain affect a significant proportion of the canine population, impacting quality of life. A multi-modal approach to treatment can include weight management, nutraceuticals, acupuncture, and more, aimed at reducing pain and improving mobility in affected dogs.

Veterinarians recommend these delicious chicken-liver flavored chews for dogs with a maximum need for joint and connective tissue support, geriatric and working dogs, as well as to support normal recovery after orthopedic surgery.
Does Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint work for dogs?
VetriScience has thousands of happy customers who love using Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint (previously GlycoFlex® Stage 3) for their dogs! This formula for medium and large dogs is made with green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, MSM, and other beneficial nutrients to support hip & joint health and mobility. Hydrolyzed chicken flavor is appropriate for pets with sensitivities to protein.
Your dog can also enjoy the benefits of advanced joint support in Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chewable Tablets (previously GlycoFlex® Stage 3), which may be suitable for sensitive stomachs. For our smaller canine friends, consider Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint for Small Dogs (previously GlycoFlex® Stage 3). Its the same powerful recipe but formulated specifically for small-breed dogs under 30 pounds.
What is the difference between Extra Strength and Ultimate Strength Healthy Hip & Joint?
Understanding pet joint health is key to understanding joint supplement ingredients and their strength. A wider variety of active ingredients + higher levels of those active ingredients = a more powerful supplement.
- Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint (previously GlycoFlex® Stage 3) is formulated with 1000 mg of glucosamine, 1000 mg of MSM, and 600 mg of green-lipped mussel per 2 chews
- Ultimate Strength Healthy Hip & Joint (previously GlycoFlex® Plus) is formulated with all the above, plus 400 mg of chondroitin per 2 chews to deliver an extra boost of mobility support
For best results, both of these GlycoFlex® supplements recommend a loading dose period of 4-6 weeks.
Does Healthy Hip & Joint need a prescription?
Nope! Since all Healthy Hip & Joint products are supplements, not pharmaceuticals, they’re all available online or through your favorite local pet retailer. No prescription needed!

Ingredient Highlights
Supports joints, healthy tissues and overall health for dog arthritis and other conditions that cause pain and joint stiffness.
GlycOmega™ Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is the foundation of our formula and nature’s perfect blend for joint support. This New Zealand mussel is a whole-food organism and a natural source of glucosamine as well as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCl) is a critical nutrient for building healthy connective tissue and is one of the foundational compounds in cartilage. Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint uses only the highest quality forms of glucosamine from sources like shrimp & crab. Some other joint supplements use more synthetically produced glucosamine, which may not be as well-absorbed by the body.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a sulfur compound found naturally in your dog’s body. It supports the structure of joints and connective tissue, as well as many bodily processes including collagen synthesis. Manganese also supports the formation of collagen, which is required for optimal cartilage structure and integrity.
DMG (N-N-Dimethylglycine) supports your dog’s overall comfort and performance by supporting blood circulation, efficient oxygen utilization, and energy.
Vitamins E & C, Selenium, and L-Glutathione provide antioxidant support to promote free-radical-scavenging activities. Grape Seed Extract (Vitis vinifera) is another powerful antioxidant that can support blood flow and healthy joints.
Storage instructions: Store in a cool, dry place.
