VetPlus Synoquin EFA Large Breed Joint Support Tablets for Dogs (Over 25kg)
VetPlus Synoquin EFA is a veterinary nutraceutical joint supplement manufactured by VetPlus (UK), formulated with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) from a krill source, to support cartilage structure, joint health, and mobility in large breed dogs over 25kg. Widely used and recommended by veterinarians for long-term management of osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease (DJD), and hip and elbow dysplasia in dogs. Krill-sourced Omega-3 EFA provides superior phospholipid-bound bioavailability compared to standard fish oil. Available in 30-tablet and 120-tablet packs; one tablet daily is the standard maintenance dose for most large breed dogs.
Composition (per tablet — confirm concentrations from product label)
-
Glucosamine HCl — aminomonosaccharide; key precursor for glycosaminoglycan and proteoglycan synthesis in articular cartilage; supports cartilage structure and repair
-
Chondroitin Sulphate — sulphated glycosaminoglycan; inhibits cartilage-degrading enzymes; supports water retention and elasticity of articular cartilage
-
Omega-3 EFA (EPA & DHA) from Krill — anti-inflammatory via prostaglandin pathway modulation; krill phospholipid-bound Omega-3 has superior bioavailability vs fish oil triglycerides
