My dog has EPI. Can glucosamine absorb without pancreas enzymes?

Question

If I give my dog, who has exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, cosamine for his joints does this get absorbed without any pancreas powder? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 6 years and 10 months old | 97 lbs

Yes, the glucosamine supplements are safe to give with EPI. It should get absorbed just fine. Dasuquin is a great product to use for arthritis and another product (that is injectable) called Adequan is another product to consider for the management of arthritis and promote healthy joints. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns.
