Many pet owners are concerned about the long term effects of NSAIDs as most conditions associated with joint injury or deterioration require long term therapy. SYNOQUIN® EFA provides a safe complementary or alternative approach to traditional drugs.
All pet owners want to see their dog healthy, fit and enjoying life. Dogs love to exercise and they depend on healthy joints to allow for smooth, pain-free running and jumping. The structure of joints and cartilage provide the body with a natural flexibility and shock-absorbing mechanism to cope with daily activity.
Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors including age-related changes in joint structure, traumatic injury, developmental abnormalities and repeated over-use, cartilage and joints are frequently subjected to damage.
SYNOQUIN® EFA is a unique formula containing five key ingredients, each performing a specific role within the joint. It is this successful formula that vets and pet owners alike have come to rely on.
With over 17 years experience in manufacturing nutraceuticals VetPlus is today a global leader in the field of joint management.
SYNOQUIN® EFA is made using high purity, high quality glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and Dexahan®.
High quality glucosamine and chondroitin are recognised as key ingredients in the fight against joint degeneration.
The combination of glucosamine and Dexahan® has been shown to have a better effect on osteoarthritic pain that just glucosamine alone.
SYNOQUIN® EFA is manufactured to pharmaceutical cGMP standards with routine testing of all ingredients and final product to guarantee the stated label claim and purity.
SYNOQUIN® has been prescribed by more vets than any other product.

Again, your veterinary surgeon will advise you which is the correct protocol.
Regular veterinary check-ups will ensure that any problems are detected early. Influencing factors are:
Weight control is one of the most important factors in joint health. Chronic overloading of a joint can create abnormal pressure and increase the risk of damage. Your veterinary surgeon will advise you on whether there is a need to adjust your current feeding regime or recommend a special weight loss diet.
