Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! All joint supplements aren't regulated like normal drugs so there is a huge issue with if they even do anything for the pet. A lot of studies of these drugs in the human and veterinary world have shown that the labels do not even match what is in the product. With that being said I would choose a different brand and spend your money on something that actually works. You can buy this product but you will be wasting your money even if it is cheaper. I would use Dasuquin or Cosequin. https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=34367
