Dr. Candy's Pro-Tip: Standard Process Canine Flex Support is an impressive joint supplement best fit for “early” senior pets. For example, a 9 year old Labrador Retriever is still very active but may be showing early signs of stiffness and arthritis.

What our patients say:
When we discovered our just over six month old BC pup had "poor" rated hips, it was a no brainer to turn to the supplements that I have been using myself for nearly thirty years, Standard Process. She is now 22 months old and has been on the Canine Flex Support as well as the Canine Musculoskeletal Support since our discovery. She has grown out of the "clunking/clicking" sound of her hips, some of which may just have been that she did grow much too quickly and has no indication at all of any issues. She is exceedingly athletic, herds, walks, swims, plays, and runs and jumps like a deer. All of her check ups indicate that she's in fabulous shape. For whatever your supplemental need, I would suggest that a Standard Process product would be your best bet.

We started giving this to our 11 year old rotti/catahoula mix girl who was suffering from arthritis and just plain never wanted to get up. She injured herself by jumping straight up and down which was a bad habit she learned from our JRT. After about 2 weeks...she was back to her energetic ol' self.

This nutritional supplement is the best that you can find for canine flex support. Our family has been using the supplement for years for one Labrador. Our other Labradors receive Standard Process canine products, too. Highest recommendations.

I have a 11 lb Havanese. She's 2 years old and recently had double knee surgery. This product has been soon helpful in her recovery. Standard Process puts out such amazing products. I have been using multiple products from their line for years with MUCH success, so I was thrilled to find they now have a pet line! I wouldn't use anything else on my puppy. She will continue on this product daily forever.

Questions & Answers
What are the side effects of Canine Flex Support?
Since these nutritional supplements are made from food, there is little to no risk of side effects. The only side effect I’ve ever seen is diarrhea if the pet gets a gigantic dose. For example, if a pet eats a whole bottle. If I had a dollar for every time one of my pets ate a whole bottle, I’d have a pretty full piggy bank. Since pets love these products so much, we recommend keeping them in a cabinet or someplace that your pet cannot get to.
How much Canine Flex Support should my dog take?
- 1-10 lbs 1/8 teaspoon once per day
- 11-20 lbs 1/8 teaspoon twice per day
- 21-40 lbs ¼ teaspoon twice per day
- 41-60 lbs ½ teaspoon twice per day
- 61-80 lbs ¾ teaspoon twice per day
- > 80 lbs 1 teaspoon twice per day
