- vetriscience.com 60 Duck Flavored Chews PDP 2026-09-02: $33.99, in stock, dogs over 30 pounds / adult and senior. GlycoFlex Plus is now Ultimate Strength Healthy Hip & Joint. Official pack shot hosted from the maker catalog.
- Facts on this PDP: Extra Strength is 1000 mg glucosamine, 1000 mg MSM, and 600 mg green-lipped mussel per 2 chews; Ultimate Strength is that plus 400 mg chondroitin per 2 chews. Named GlycOmega green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus), glucosamine HCl from shrimp and crab, MSM, chondroitin, DMG, vitamins E and C, selenium, L-glutathione, grape seed extract. Duck flavor named. 60 chews in the SKU title.
Dogs over 30 lb. Official $33.99 / 60 duck chews. PDP prints glucosamine, MSM, green-lipped mussel, and chondroitin milligrams per 2 chews, plus “supplements, not pharmaceuticals.” Not an arthritis drug.
Buy this when you want a live U.S. maker cart, printed milligrams, a written “not a pharmaceutical” line, and NASC on the same page. It is still a chew, not a diagnosis. Talk to a veterinarian before you treat a limp as a shopping problem.
