Overview

This is VetriScience's GlycoFlex 3 formula packaged as a Canine Mini, a chicken flavored soft chew sized down for small and medium breed dogs rather than the brand's standard size chew. It ships 60 to a bag.

Each chew carries green lipped mussel and glucosamine sourced from shrimp and crab, along with MSM, DMG, vitamin E, vitamin C, manganese, grape seed extract and L-glutathione rounding out the formula. It's the same core GlycoFlex 3 lineup as VetriScience's other joint chews, just proportioned for smaller dogs.

At 21.41 dollars for 60 chews, it holds a 4.5 star average across about 2,300 ratings, with roughly 1,000 units bought in the past month.

Pros

  • Green lipped mussel plus glucosamine and MSM combination in one soft chew
  • Sized down as a Mini formula for small and medium breed dogs
  • Chicken flavored chew that is easy to dose daily
  • Includes DMG, vitamin E, vitamin C and grape seed extract alongside the core joint ingredients

Cons

  • Not dosed for large or giant breeds
  • Sourced from shrimp and crab, so it is not an option for dogs with shellfish sensitivities
  • 60 count bottle is a shorter supply than some of the larger competing bags

Performance notes

Each chew carries 300 mg of green lipped mussel, 250 mg glucosamine HCl from a shrimp and crab source, 250 mg MSM and 50 mg DMG, along with smaller amounts of vitamin E, vitamin C, manganese, grape seed extract and L-glutathione. It's labeled as a mini formula for small and medium breed dogs, so the per chew dose runs lower than VetriScience's standard GlycoFlex 3 size.

What buyers say

A 4.5 star average across about 2,300 ratings suggests a solid track record among small and medium breed owners, with roughly 1,000 units bought in the past month.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as regular GlycoFlex 3?

It's the same GlycoFlex 3 formula scaled down as a Mini version, dosed for small and medium breed dogs rather than large or giant breeds.

Does it contain shellfish?

Yes, the glucosamine is sourced from shrimp and crab, so it is not a fit for dogs with shellfish sensitivities.

What breed size is this meant for?

VetriScience labels it for medium and small dogs specifically, so larger breeds would likely need a higher dosed formula instead.
