Hi honeybeesmom1 –

For therapeutic effect I’ve generally seen the recommended dose of glucosamine as being 500 mg. per 25 lbs. I’d start them on about 250 mg. for about 2 weeks and if you see improvement cut the dose in half or give it every other day. You might get better results if you give a combination supplement that contains chondroitin and/or MSM in addition to the glucosamine and, additionally, give an anti-inflammatory such as boswellia, yucca, turmeric, bromelain or tart cherry.
