<DIV>I also do not like long-term use of Rimadyl due to possible liver and
kidney issues. However, I think long-term prednisone also has some bad
side effects, and is hard on kidneys. There are two products that I have
used successfully--both available from my vet and a reasonable price.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first is "Phycox" which has both glucosamine and msm--it comes in the
form of liver flavored chews that my dogs really like the taste of. I
give it to the dog needing it with a meal. There is a website:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.phycox.com">www.phycox.com</A> that will give more
information.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second product is called "GF 300" and is available to vets from
Vetri-Science Laboratories of Vermont.</DIV>
<DIV>the website is: <A
href="http://www.vetriscience.com">www.vetriscience.com</A>, and their phone
number is 1-800-882-9993. This one comes in the form of chewable
tablets--I just drop them in with their food.</DIV>
