I got this because it has glucosamine sulfate, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine, and MSM… all of which is good for the joints and skin, in addition to the kidneys and urinary system in general… because this is formulated for the urinary system, it also has D-Mannose and organic cranberry (organic is important with cranberries, as it’s often a GMO product otherwise)… although I could do without some of the inactive ingredients, this formulation is ideal for my two shih tzu (in which are more susceptible to hip dysplasia and kidney issues, as they age)… my dogs are not crazy about the taste however, and with the full dosage per their size, they simply will not eat their food (even with ribeye chopped up and used as a topper)… I plan to subtly add little by little to see if my dogs adjust to its taste… I also have four cats, and as it is well known, they are prone to a whole host of urinary issues (even stress related at young ages) in addition to being high risk for kidney disease in their latter years… so I got this for use with my cats as well… (like this formulation was suited perfectly for ALL six of my animals) but unfortunately, my cats do not like it either! I also plan to add it subtly to their food as well, but it’s doubtful they will not smell it even in the smallest of quantities, as cats smell far better than dogs… I wish this was just unflavored, but that’s virtually impossible with tart cranberries as an ingredient I know! So all in all, it’s exactly what I wanted, but it’s also useless, if I cannot get my animals to eat anything with this added in it! I will say though, my animals are incredibly spoiled, and they are just ridiculously picky in general, BUT on the other hand, there are a couple of select supplements NONE of my animals mind being added to their food, so who knows… maybe other pets will eat it, maybe not!
