Glyco Flex® III Bite-Sized Chews
Vetri-Science’s Glyco-Flex® III represents the third stage of our Life Stages joint health program, designed to support a dog’s comprehensive joint health throughout his life. We’ve considered the health of a geriatric dog in need of serious joint support and added extra glucosamine and MSM to be sure Glyco-Flex® III can keep up with those needs. Glyco-Flex® III offers something most nutritional supplements for canines cannot: thorough and non-biased research. The creaks of ages: a summary
Like humans, as dogs age they tend to feel their years in their joints. With age-related weight gain comes increased pressure on each joint. The only joints that move (allowing pivot-like adjustments) are called “synovial joints,” so coined because of the fluid that surrounds them.
To understand the importance of maintaining the health of this fluid, it is important to understand each component of a synovial joint. Each bone end is essentially padded with a thin layer of cartilage. The fibrous sac surrounding the joint is called the capsule, and is filled with synovial fluid and lined with a synovial membrane, which acts as a filter for undesirable microorganisms. The articular cartilage is made up of a matrix containing collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGS), which suck water in to form a gelatinous material.
The synovial fluid is the nourishment for the cartilage. When cartilage has a loose or compromised matrix, bone can rub on bone, creating an uncomfortable friction. To avoid this unpleasant sensation, it is necessary to maintain a desirable viscosity and health of the synovial fluid and membrane. Research and understanding of Glyco-Flex® III:
Over 17 years, researchers have conducted several studies to determine the abilities of Glyco-Flex’s® main ingredients and the product as a whole. The GlycOmega® (Perna used in Glyco-Flex) is exclusive to Vetri-Science.
Backed with this extensive research, Glyco-Flex® III offers peace of mind for pet owners concerned with their animal’s nutrition. Out of top selling brands, Glyco-Flex® III is the only joint support product line registered with the FDA as an animal health product and the only Perna product researched in canine-specific studies.
The GlycOmega® Perna whole mussel (used exclusively in Vetri-Science GlycoFlex® products) is the only New Zealand green lipped mussel clinically researched for its impact on the body’s inflammatory process. Patented N,N-Dimethylglycine HCl
Glyco-Flex® III features our patented DMG, an adaptogen known for its immune support properties. DMG is naturally occurring in small amounts, and assists in methylation processes within the body. This amino acid derivative supports circulation and oxygen utilization, promoting better nutrient delivery to the joint. Vetri-Science® Laboratories has obtained four patents on DMG backed by 20 years of research. The whole organism difference
Glyco-Flex® III (and each product in our Life Stages program) contains GlycOmega®, Perna canaliculus from an exclusive New Zealand source. The entire green-lipped mussel is utilized for optimal support. Some Perna extract-based products and mussel powders may lack bioactive components, like specific, important fatty or amino acids that the whole mussel provides. Image of a healthy Joint Higher levels of MSM
Because Glyco-Flex® III represents serious support, we’ve doubled the amount of MSM per serving. MSM, or Methylsulfonylmethane, is an organic, sulfur-containing compound. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), the fundamental building blocks of joint cartilage, are linked together by disulfide bonds (bonds between two sulfur atoms). Because cartilage is in a sulfur-dependent state of quality, MSM supports joint and connective tissue health. Higher levels of glucosamine
When compared with our Glyco-Flex® stages I and II formulas and other glucosamine formulas on the market, Glyco-Flex® III stands out because of higher levels of glucosamine, a natural compound found in healthy cartilage, glucosamine sulfate is a constituent of glycosaminoglycans in synovial fluid, meaning it supports joint health through promoting synovial fluid viscosity and strength of the cartilage matrix. Even the taste is optimal
Available in chicken liver-flavored mini bite size chews, regular bite size chews or a tablet, Glyco-Flex® III is known for its high palatability. Fun Shaped Chews!

Let customers speak for us
from 135 reviewsHe loves it.
The media could not be loaded.
I started with “ food". Took less than 1/2 an hour and this is the video. You need to speak clearly right after the beep when recording, and close to the speaker. Great price for quality and comes with mat. My little chiwinee doesn't always hit the buttons right, so they don't go off all the time, but he's learning . The only issue I've had is needing to re-record a couple times because it was held down and the record button is on the bottom. I don't know if adding the Velcro to the bottom may help. I didn't do that yet . I am getting another set because the price point and quality is there.
My dogs looove this yak cheese! I got the medium size so I could give some to my bigger dogs, but let my mini doxi have one, too. I was worried it might be too big for her, but i just wet it a little to soften it up a little. Turns out I didn't really need to, though. She loves it so much once she gets going on it she will not stop & it ends up getting soft enough for her with her saliva as intended. She's had this thing for WEEKS now & still isn't even half way done, so I definitely think it's worth the money when it would take her probably a month or more to finish this thing! The other dog that really loves them in a stray pit we've adopted at this point. She loves going in her kennel at night, but has a lot of anxiety when I have to leave her in there very long during the day & she will chew & destroy EVERYTHING in there. 🤦🏼♀️ most chews dont last her 20 minutes! But if I put this yak cheese in there & let her have it only for kennel time I can get a week or so out of it for her, too!!! Which is really impressive! The only thing we've found to last her very long other than these is the stuffed shin bone, but she doesn't love them as much. She licks the stuff out then she's done & will move on to destroying her bedding or toys or whatever she can in her kennel. 😵💫 But this thing keeps her happy & destructive free for awhile & although it's pricey, it's still cheaper that a new dog bed every week! 😆
My pet's fur is more beautiful, I love it.
My wittle Perky was itching like crazy. Went to vet but issue persisted. I got these and they have worked amazingly well.
This supplement is the real deal. If you've got a dog with chronic itching, you know the struggle. My German Shepherd was suffering from non-stop paw licking and ear scratching, and I was at my wit's end trying to find a solution.Since taking a chance on Pawganix YeastGuard, his coat quality has improved a lot, and he is finally more comfortable. The itching and annoying paw licking are basically gone, and his skin just looks so much calmer.My favorite part? Giving it to him is zero drama. He thinks it’s a treat and wags his tail happily when I'm administering his meds haha. I feel good about giving him these chews every day because the formula seems clean—it doesn't have any of the junk or fillers you see in other brands. I think we've found our new staple!
I’ve noticed a huge difference since starting Boops Pets NAD+ and Senior Dog Support. My older pup has more energy, moves easier, and just seems happier overall. I love that the ingredients are clean and vet-formulated and he actually eats them without me having to hide them. Definitely worth it for any aging dog!
I have 2 big dogs ( golden retriever & a dalmatian) and a smaller dog (chihuahua mix). I got the bigger bones. They all love these bones. I have not tried putting them in the microwave yet, but another customer said they did and it worked, so I don't have any hesitation to it working. I have had these for 4 days now, the dogs go right to them when it's time to chill and they have chewed them for hours and barely made a dent, so I would say they are pretty durable. Usually when I get them a bone, they can be a long chew bone and the 2 big boys make work of it in about 20 minutes. I don't find that they have any kind of odor to them. I think the price point isn't bad, considering how long I believe they will last. The nicest part is they are only made with 3 ingredients: milk, lime juice and salt. That to me alone is work the investment, because I know I am not giving them something that is bad for them.
After 2.5+ weeks of giving to my 13 year old Weimador, (Labrador Retriever & Weimaraner), she is acting younger again and has enough pep back to jump on & play fight with our 4 year old, high-energy Weimador who outweighs her by 18 lbs. For some time now, she had been slowing down and even just walking past her sister when the sassy young pup would bark at her face and try to jump on her to initiate play. The older dog is finally back to going chest-to chest with the younger and they get in some good energy bursts together before my old dog is worn out or showing increased signs of aging.Very pleased with the results of this so far and will buy a few canisters at once on my next order. My girls both love taking their ‘treats’!
I bought this flea and anti-tick supplement for my two cats (an adult and a kitten) and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. I love that it is a natural liquid formula, without aggressive chemicals, which gives me peace of mind when dealing with sensitive pets.After a few weeks of constant use, I noticed a big difference: cats no longer scratch as before, and their coat looks brighter and healthier. Fish oil and additional vitamins seem to improve not only protection against parasites, but also your skin and immune system.I manage it easily by mixing it with their food or water, and they accept it without problems (which is a relief for those of us who have somewhat demanding cats). I also appreciate that it is suitable for kittens, so I can protect them from an early age without worrying about side effects.Ideal for those looking for a natural, safe and effective solution against fleas and ticks, with additional benefits for the general health of their cats. 100% recommended!
My cat had a mild case of chin acne. After a few weeks of using this, I noticed his chin is much clearer. Must be the skin-healthy ingredients at work.
I’ve noticed Izzy has more energy and seems sharper since starting these chews. She loves the peanut butter flavor, and I feel good knowing it supports healthy aging. Easy to give and worth it for long-term wellness!
Never heard of these before, but had to try them out & I am impressed w how much my car enjoyed it, 1st I put it on her food. Then I let her taste it from the dropper & she wanted more. I administered as directed tho. But she likes it & I like how well they work & how long they last. Will be ordering again for sure!
I love that I can use this every day without worry. It took a few weeks to see flea reduction, but now it’s part of our routine. Safe, natural, and effective with patience.
Medicine works as advertise! My dog was having some issues with yeast infections on her paws. Soon after starting the product I noticed positive changes. Not much later, the infection is completely gone! Overall great product!
