What Makes Flexpet Different?

What Makes Flexpet Different?

We talk with a lot of pet owners all over the country. Some of them have dogs that are slowing down and are trying to figure out what will best support their dog. Others have dogs that are currently using a medication or supplement and want to know if there is something better out there (and yes, "better" can mean a handful of things!). The question we are always asked, and are happy to answer, is "What makes FlexPet different?" There's a lot that sets us apart, but here are the big ones:

  • All-Natural — Made with all-natural, human-grade ingredients
  • Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8) — Discovered by an NIH researcher who studied it for joint health
  • The Right Glucosamine — There are two types, and the one used by FlexPet has significantly more research showing its effectiveness
  • Money-Back Guarantee — We fully stand behind the product and will refund the purchase price if you don't think it helped
  • Comprehensive — Six ingredients working together to nourish the joints and support lubrication, comfort, and mobility.

Of course, before any dietary, supplement, or medication change for your dog, you should always talk to your vet. But there are a lot of things that make FlexPet different, and in our opinion, the best joint supplement for pets on the market today. Here is more information on the highlights above.

Going the All-Natural Route

natural joint supplementFirst of all, FlexPet is an all-natural joint supplement. We believe that staying the natural route for pets, when possible, is best. Our products contain high-quality, all-natural ingredients and are manufactured in the USA in FDA-approved facilities. Because the products are made with all-natural ingredients, they're an easy daily addition to your pet's routine.

CM8 — Not Found in Any Other Pet Product on the Market Today

cetyl myristoleateCetyl Myristoleate (CM8) is an all-natural compound that was discovered years ago by an NIH researcher (Dr. Harry Diehl) who was researching joint health. He observed that certain mice maintained healthy joints, and the compound Cetyl Myristoleate appeared to be responsible. Dr. Diehl developed a way to recreate the compound, and was awarded multiple patents related to its use in mammals for his discovery. Research on Cetyl Myristoleate has also explored its role in supporting joint health.

FlexPet specifically contains CM8. CM8 is a version of Cetyl Myristoleate named for 8 markers that are used to determine the quality of Cetyl Myristoleate, ensuring that it is in fact the same compound discovered by Dr. Diehl. There are a few other products that contain Cetyl Myristoleate, but those are not CM8 and have differences from the effective compound of Dr. Diehl. Only FlexPet has CM8.

FlexPet also has a unique, proprietary enzyme blend in the formula. The trouble with CM8 is that it can't simply be taken on its own, because there are difficulties in the body processing CM8 in its pure form. So FlexPet contains an enzyme blend that aids in digestion and absorption of CM8 into the body. Without the enzyme blend, CM8 is highly ineffective in most cases, as the body does not process it.

Getting the Right Glucosamine

dog glucosamineMost people compare FlexPet to what their dog is currently taking, which is most commonly a glucosamine product. There are actually two kinds of glucosamine — glucosamine sulfate potassium, and glucosamine hydrochloride. Please look at what kind of glucosamine your dog is taking. There is significant research about the benefits of glucosamine sulfate potassium. However, there is very limited research showing the benefits of glucosamine hydrochloride. Because of the research backing glucosamine sulfate potassium, we believe this is a significantly better option.

Glucosamine is also not easily broken down, but is greatly aided by methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). MSM increases the absorption rate of sulfur, which helps the dog's body process the glucosamine. Any supplement with glucosamine should have MSM as well, but not all do.
