That stuff you found at Mud Bay looks pretty good. I just love Mud Bay, don't you?!

Another plus for the Liquid Health is that it's liquid. And according to Debbie's research (yep, my research stealing extends far and wide), supplements in their liquid form are MUCH more easily absorbed. Whatchu think about that?

And if this is true (I strongly suspect that it is because it makes a lot of sense to me), if you dissolved the Mud Bay powder in a liquid, would that make it the same as a liquid in terms of absorbson? Or do you think that there's no coming back from powder?

well, these are chewables....so we'll see.

i think that debbie is absolutely right. liquid, depending on the process to get it into that form...let me qualify first by saying that....is probably the better way of getting max absorption.

on the other hand, dogs have such a digestive system so as to kill all those buggies....i think there will be loss no matter what form.

if you take, for instance, fresh ginger and just grate it and give it to the dog, i think there will be loss....although we did that and saw some difference.

we had also added turmeric powder and it made a difference too, so i could have gone out and researched all inflammatories and joint support stuff and ground it myself.....

if 20% gets to her, i'll be happy, be it chewable, liquid or powder....and most of these items are packed full of preservatives...which probably enhances the absorption process.

we'll see.

and yeah. what a boutique mud bay is. we bought a toy for bubba to kill and it was so expensive.

they sell a barfy kind of raw, so i give them credit. they carry k9 and other higher end kibbles and they are pretty knowledgeable.

i didn't get the connectin from them. i went online, paid no tax and got it cheaper :)

Mud Bay is my puppy socialization place - not too high traffic, very clean and they offer treats that are basically dehydrated meat. They also have killer clearances on collars and leashes. I can't afford anything not on clearance though. LOL

Maybe this will help someone out....It was just brought up on my B.T. raw forum and it is suppose to be all natural, the OP said it was a noticeable difference on her dog

Thanks I have book marked this and am going to read more when I get time. I'm not sure but I think I may need something for Maddie. She has since I've had her not tracked right in her hind end. It doesn't seem to slow her down but she drags her hind legs a little. I asked the new vet girl and she said it sounded like maybe she had a pinched nerve in her back at some point and there wasn't that much I could do about it. That maybe she couldn't feel her hind legs so well.

I'm not sure if there is anything I can do but it won't hurt to try.

the two that i found were both glucosamine based, i think...

one is connectin and the other is arthro aid.

the more i read about glucosamine and chondroitin, the less i am enamoured with them....plus, i'm not sure i like the idea of feeding shell fish based remedies to my dogs...when shell fish are not species appropriate and often times, people and dogs can develop a sensitivity..

recent news reports talks about glucosamine and chondroitin and many state they are not the wonder solution once thought to be.

so i shall looked at this product too...thank you, robin...as soon as they tell me what the natural flavours are....i may well get it for the dogs and the human one looks good too :)

I just sent this link to my twice a month boss, there are two horses in the barn who would benefit from this...The killer for you might be the natural flavors but lets hope it is something you can live with..

it might be with the human version, since they use rice...but i just wrote to them..

i like the ingredients. i've read about boswelia.....and it's certainly worth a try for the malia.

certainly curcumin and ginger are definite goodies.....

much appreciated.
