This supplement has no concern with a dog that has a MDR1 gene mutation. There are no safety concerns with glucosamine, or the other ingredients in this product, so no worries about giving it with her condition. For more information about this condition I recommend you read the article at the following link: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/multidrug-resistance-mutation-mdr1 I hope that helps and all is well with Lovey.
