Hello everyone and thanks for reading my post.

I reach out to everyone who may be able to offer any opinions or knowledge about patella luxation supplements of glucosamine and chondroitin as I am unable to find a definitive answer after googling so much my eyes are now gozzy!

So my question to you all is: would it be beneficial to suppliment the G&C despite the fact that my little girl is on a 100% raw diet (Nutriment) with occasional things like raw chicken necks? I understand the raw diet provides a lot of it in its natural bio available state...but is it enough, or should I also suppliment, or would that be TOO much? I cant seem to find the answer to this one...

Hope someone can help me, thanks

I have really no knowledge .. but try looking for how much G&C is contained in the raw diet and compare it too the supplements. If it seems low i would go with the supplement but if it is consideribly higher than the over the counter you should be fine. have you asked the vet?

My ortho vet told me that my chi's (all but one have had patella surgery) should take 200mg of glucosomine.

Thanks for the replies folks. Im debating about starting Cosequin to suppliment their diet of nutriment. Does anyone out there feed raw as well as suppliment? Cheers
