The
Typical Veternarian Response
If
your pet is showing any of the above signs, it is always
a good idea to take your pet to the vet. They will
be able to tell you exactly which type of arthritis
your pet has (listed above).
A typical response to these conditions (if
diagnosed) by a veterinarian is to prescribe NSAIDS (aspirin,
aleve, motrin, etc.) for pain. In the more severe cases,
steroids or even surgery may be suggested. The use of NSAIDS
(and even veterinarians will agree), is not without some
element of risk. Just as in the case of humans, pets run
the risk of side effects even though they do get some pain
relief. It goes without saying that the use of steroids
and/or surgery poses even greater risks.
Side effects of NSAIDS include stomach ulcers and liver
damage. COX-II Inhibitors have been shown to increase chance
of heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, while these
treatments do reduce the pain, they do nothing to treat
the disease.
There Is An Alternative...
More
progressive veterinarians who are knowledgeable about
recent studies, clinical trials, and overwhelmingly positive
patient response will know that glucosamine not only
eases pain, but also aids in rehabilitating damaged cartilage.
While of course, the comfort of your pet is paramount
in your mind, glucosamine (in the right form and quality
combined with other "driving" and synergistic
ingredients) not only eases the pain quickly, but it
goes to the root of the disease and retards its progression.
Glucosamine
when combined with the appropriate ingredient mix will
ease your pet's arthritis pain in about ten to fifteen
days. In extremely severe cases, it may take as long
as thirty days. What should not be overlooked is that
this can be accomplished without the dangerous side effects
of NSAIDS and COX-II inhibitors.
It must be stressed that these kinds of results will only
be seen if you are using an extremely high-grade liquid
glucosamine formulation. The use of pills or capsules is
not going to produce these kinds of results. A pharmaceutical
quality liquid formula is recommended for maximum effectiveness,
absorption, and minimum time to relief.
It
is also important to understand that in order to maximize
both the impact on pain relief and rehabilitation, other
ingredients are essential. Those ingredients include:
bromelain, boswellin; omega 3 & 6 fatty acids; and
manganese ascorbate, among others. These and other ingredients
play a major role in both easing pain and in the rebuilding
process.
Our
recommendation for easing arthritis pain and hip dysplasia
in dogs and cats, is a liquid glucosamine formula called
Syn-flex.
MORE SUCCESS!!
Hi,
My name is Judith M. I have been ordering your product for several years now for my dogs. It is a FANTASTIC product! My shepard mix was having so much trouble getting up from her bed and my Bichon had a limp from arthritis in his shoulder, the vet wanted to put both of them on a very dangerous arthritis medication. But I did my research and found your site. And the rest is history. I started giving them Syn-Flex and it is amazing. It is a God send and I tell everyone about it!!
Sincerely,
Judy
Real Life Results!!
I received my order last Saturday and my dog, Mouse, a 7 year old Japanese Chin, is very finicky. For the last two months, she has not been herself. She has been much quieter and not as loving. One day when I reached down to pet her, she cried out as if she was in pain. The vet suggested I try giving her a pain pill and she acted much better. I did not want to keep her on that type of medication as there are too many side effects and it is only masking the problem. I tried giving her Glycoflex pills, but she refused them even when disguised in food. So I decided to look for a liquid form.I was surprised to find that the liquid is better absorbed and when I found your product, I ordered it right away. It arrived quicker than expected and I gave Mouse her first dose Saturday afternoon. Starting Sunday I gave her a dose in the morning and and at night, after I fed her. She LOVES it and looks forward to taking it, but best of all she is almost her old self. She is again getting on the furniture and spinning around before she goes out the door. This little dog is very,very special, she was born here on the morning of 9/11. I gave her to my best friend, who spoiled her to death. When she died four years ago, Mouse came back to me. I am so happy and have been telling everyone about the Synflex and your fast shipping.THANK YOU!!!

I found out about SynFlex on a google search for a beloved yellow lab who I share with my friend Dan. I live in WI – at that time Bailey was with Dan, his owner, in VA. You helped me ship it directly to VA so Dan could get Bailey started on it asap. Dan told a few people at work about it and I've since heard they were putting in group orders. I am happy hear they are all having such good results. Bailey is in WI right now and was able to hunt a bit and is walking pretty good these days.
Thanks again for the great service Aly!

Note: It can be difficult to measure the smaller doses. If using a syringe, the dosage would be 1 ml-cc for .2 tsp or 2 ml for the .4 tsp. dose. Personally, we use a 1/4 teaspoon for pets under 10 pounds and 1/2 teaspoon for pets 10-40 lbs.
