smurfette Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Does anyone of you have experiences with msm (methylsulfonylmethan) in greyhounds? I want to try it on my boy Andy who has mobility problems due to his back end and hips (doc says old age and many races in his youth catching up with him).

macoduck Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The Greyhound Gang endorses and sells MSM.

FiveRoooooers Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Costco carries their Kirkland brand of Glucosamine/MSM with 1500mg of each component per scorable tablet. I've been giving them twice a day to the campers for years. A bottle of 375 tablets is ~$14-16. Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs. Thank you, campers. Current enrollees: Punkin.

Remolacha Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've found it makes a difference for my arthritis and for the dogs as well, more so than glucosamine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I've used Greyhound Gang's MSM, glucosamine, chondroitin and vitamin C combo for 10 years and Wendy only recently at age 11.5 has started to show a bit of arthritis in an elbow. Did the supplements help? Who knows, but they certainly did not hurt and Wendy's vet is all for them. http://www.greyhoundgang.org/shop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51 Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

cleptogrey Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 i buy powdered MSM in bulk either at the vitamin shoppe or amazon, the same with powdered glucosamine. the chondroitin can be found this way as well. it's around 1500mg of each. i found it did nothing for the dogs so, i've been taking the MSM and it does help my arthritis.

smurfette Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 I got mine from a german company - because I live here but it's originally for horses. (A horse is on the package). But I don't think that makes a difference (hopefully). I literally live in a horse town - means everything is about horses here. It is a small town but it has the stables where all our olympic horses live and train, famous for breeding - horses like Halla or Totilas were from here. You can buy everything healthy for pets... but they are mostly for horses. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.

cleptogrey Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Bowi and I both take the one Fiverooooos mentioned. Make sure you know where it is and from. Nothing from China! check out the origin of the products from get up and go. i remember communicating with the owner and it does come from china. now, i can't remember if it's the glucosamine sulfate or hydrochloride that one should use.....duh the best barometer of all is how YOUR dog responds to the combo! then again there are always products like this http://www.dasuquin.com/en/dasuquin-soft-chews-w-msm/ Edited July 20, 2017 by cleptogrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatterseaBrindl Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 MSM is a very popular, inexpensive supplement that many people feed their horses. Watch your source..and there are different potencies as well. It has been known to cause behavioural issues..spookiness..in some horses. As well, it is now on the list of supplements that are banned for use if you are showing your horse. All of that however has nothing to do with dogs but does indicate to me that it must do 'something' to relieve pain, otherwise it would not be banned.

smurfette Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 I ordered a pack of it and we started to take it. We - as in all my boys and I. I feel better and have more energy, also losing weight. And there is less pain in my joints. I can get up in the morning without feeling like 100 years old. 😉 It also seems to help Andy and Colin with their mobility. And they developed a coat like velvet. I guess it was a good idea... but it tastes aweful... 😉 Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.
