Thank you for more information! In terms of supplements, it means strength. Level 1 is for dogs experiencing mild joint pain and discomfort, level 2 is for dogs with more serious arthritis and joint pain, and level 3 is for dogs with severe arthritis requiring higher levels of glucosamine and the digestion-aiding properties of MSM. I hope this helps!
