Glucosabics Glucosamine Dog Biscuits

Description

Blackdog Glucosabics Dog Biscuits

Glucosabics are a functional dog biscuit designed around the addition of glucosamine sulphate. Blackdog describes glucosamine as an aid used in relation to osteoarthritis and conditions associated with joint pain, and has added glucosamine to its biscuit recipe alongside omega 3, methionine, antioxidants and vitamins and minerals.

If you are interested in protecting your dog’s joints, it’s worth considering including glucosamine (via Glucosbics) as part of their dog’s treat routine. For other joint-support dog treats, see our shark cartilage treat range.

According to the product information for the Glucosabics we sell, each biscuit provides 130mg of glucosamine, making it easy for owners to know that their dog is receiving a measured amount as part of the treat.

The biscuits are oven baked in Australia and contain wholegrain wheat, tallow, sugar, salt, calcium carbonate, flaxseed meal, vitamins and minerals, vanilla and glucosamine sulphate. Blackdog’s current nutritional information lists 11% protein and 6% fat.

Glucosamine for Dogs

Glucosamine is widely used in canine joint-support products and is associated with maintaining the cartilage and structures within joints. Glucosabics provide it in a convenient biscuit rather than requiring another supplement format.

It is important, however, not to think of glucosamine as a treatment that repairs every type of joint injury. Dogs with arthritis, significant joint pain, tendon injuries or other diagnosed conditions should have their treatment and supplementation discussed with their veterinarian.

For owners simply looking for a convenient functional treat containing glucosamine, however, Glucosabics are an easy option.

A Functional Biscuit Rather Than Just a Treat

One of the attractions of Glucosabics is that they sit somewhere between a conventional dog biscuit and a dedicated joint supplement. Your dog still gets a crunchy baked treat, while the recipe also supplies added glucosamine.

For owners already using natural joint-support treats such as Green Lipped Mussels or Shark Cartilage, Glucosabics can provide a different way of adding a glucosamine-containing treat to the rotation.  If you want other Blackdog dog biscuits options.
