Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I give Flexpet joint supplements to my pet?
Most dogs experience joint pain and inflammation as a part of aging. Research suggests dogs that take joint supplements have less joint damage when they experience arthritis or joint trauma. Flexpet relieves joint pain and inflammation and helps prevent future joint conditions from developing.  It can be given to dogs with an existing condition, or as a preventative supplement for healthy dogs.

What ailments does Flexpet help?
Canine arthritis and other hip and joint diseases are the most common reasons to give your dog a joint supplement. Veterinarian recommended Flexpet helps relieve the symptoms of arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, knee/ACL injuries, and any abnormal joint pain or inflammation.

Can Flexpet be used as a preventative supplement?Absolutely. Flexpet is very effective for pets with existing joint problems. However, more than half of all dogs will develop joint health issues in their lifetime. By giving Flexpet to your pet before these issues develop you may be saving money in the long run on vet bills, medications, and surgeries.

What is the dosage information for the chewable tablets?
All cats ½ tablet daily

Dogs up to 25lbs 1-2 tablets daily, 25-50lbs 2-3 tablets daily, 50-75lbs 3-4 tablets daily, 75-100lbs 4-5 tablets daily, 100+lbs 5-6 tablets daily

Pets with a severe joint condition may take one extra chewable over and above the recommended daily dosage for the first two weeks and then resume back to the suggested daily dosage.

What is the dosage information for the soft chews?
All cats ¼-½ chew daily

Dogs up to 25lbs ½ daily, 25-50lbs 1 daily, 50-75lbs 2 daily, 75-100lbs 3 daily, 100+lbs 4 daily 

Pets with a severe joint condition may take one extra chewable over and above the recommended daily dosage for the first two weeks and then resume back to the suggested daily dosage.

Why is it important to give the correct dosage when starting a supplement?
While pain medications may act quickly to cover up health symptoms they do not resolve an issue like joint pain. Supplements take time to build up in the body to aid in lubricating joints and rebuild cartilage. This is why it is important to give your pet Flexpet daily as directed.

Can I give other supplements to my pet along with Flexpet?
While there are no side effects to taking our all-natural supplement, it is a good idea to consult with your veterinarian to come up with the best path towards achieving your pet’s optimal health. It would be unnecessary to give your pet additional joint care supplements because Flexpet is a comprehensive formula.

What is CM8?
Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8) is a naturally-occurring compound that is used for the treatment of arthritis and other joint pain issues.  In fact, it is the only compound that has a patent for the treatment of arthritis.  Discovered by a researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), CM8 works as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and joint lubricant.  You can read more about CM8 here: CM8 and Flexpet.

CM8 is considered the key ingredient in Flexpet. It is what sets Flexpet apart from other supplements, and the reason it is more effective than typical glucosamine products.  Studies of CM8 have also shown the product to be very effective in the treatment of arthritis and joint pain. Study information is available here: Cetyl-Myristoleate Studies

What are the other active ingredients in Flexpet?

Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium - an amino sugar that helps support the structure and function of joints. It occurs naturally in the body and plays a key role in cartilage construction and the incorporation of sulfur into cartilage.

MSM - a sulfur compound that occurs naturally in plants and animals. It is needed by the body to form connective tissue. Studies show it helps reduce inflammation and pain.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II - this ingredient is used in an effort to protect and rebuild joint cartilage. Since collagen is the most common structural protein in the body, hydrolyzed collagen helps stimulate collagen production, decrease joint pain, and increase bone mass density.

Bromelain - found naturally in pineapple stems, it helps reduce inflammation for osteoarthritis, and alleviate muscle stiffness and soreness.

Vitamin C - has many functions, including tissue repair, and can help reduce the degeneration of cells in articular cartilage.

Enzyme Blend - aids in digesting and allows the body to absorb the larger molecules like cetyl myristoleate.
