Which Flexadin products are available?
The current range includes several options. Flexadin Plus is available for dogs and cats, while Flexadin Advanced comes in separate versions for dogs and cats. Flexadin Advanced Original is also available for dogs.
Flexadin Plus for dogs and cats
Flexadin Plus has been developed to support the joints of dogs and cats. The product is available as Mini for cats and small dogs up to 10 kg and as Maxi for dogs weighing 10 kg or more.
Flexadin Plus contains several ingredients that contribute to supporting the musculoskeletal system:
- Glucosamine and chondroitin: components naturally found in cartilage.
- Omega 3 fatty acids: contribute to the maintenance of healthy joints.
- Vitamin E: helps protect the body’s cells.
- Devil’s claw: a botanical ingredient that supports the joints.
The soft chews can be given directly or mixed with food. The daily amount depends on the weight of your dog or cat.
Flexadin Advanced for dogs
Could your dog benefit from extra joint support? Flexadin Advanced may be suitable. It is a complementary dietetic feed for dogs designed to support joint metabolism in cases of osteoarthritis.
Flexadin Advanced contains, among other ingredients:
- Undenatured type II collagen: type II collagen is an important component of cartilage.
- Omega 3 fatty acids: to support the joints.
- Vitamin E: helps protect the body’s cells.
- Boswellia serrata: a botanical ingredient that supports the joints.
A practical advantage of Flexadin Advanced is its dosage. You give one chew per day, regardless of your dog’s weight.
Flexadin Advanced Original for dogs
Flexadin Advanced Original is also a complementary dietetic feed for dogs and contains, among other ingredients, undenatured type II collagen, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E.
The main difference from Flexadin Advanced is that the Original version does not contain Boswellia serrata. This can, for example, provide an alternative for dogs that find the version containing Boswellia less palatable.
Flexadin Advanced Original is also given as one chew per day, regardless of your dog’s weight.
Flexadin Advanced Cat for cats
Flexadin Advanced Cat is available for cats. This complementary dietetic feed has been specially formulated to support cats’ joints.
Flexadin Advanced Cat contains, among other ingredients, undenatured type II collagen, omega 3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The small, soft chews are tailored to cats and only one chew per day is required, regardless of your cat’s weight.
Have you noticed that your cat finds it more difficult to jump, moves more stiffly or is becoming less active? Do not automatically put this down to old age. Changes in movement can have several causes. If the symptoms are noticeable or persistent, it is advisable to have your cat examined by a vet.
What is the difference between Flexadin Plus and Flexadin Advanced?
The main difference lies in their composition and intended use. Flexadin Plus contains glucosamine, chondroitin, omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin E and devil’s claw, among other ingredients.
Flexadin Advanced contains undenatured type II collagen and is a complementary dietetic feed designed to support joint metabolism in cases of osteoarthritis. The dog version also contains Boswellia serrata. For dogs that find this version less palatable, Flexadin Advanced Original is available without Boswellia.
Which option is most suitable for your pet depends on their age, health and need for joint support. If your pet has clear mobility problems or has been diagnosed with a joint condition, it is best to discuss your choice with your vet.
When might joints need extra support?
Changes in movement are not always immediately noticeable. A dog may, for example, become less enthusiastic during long walks, get up more stiffly or be less willing to climb stairs. Changes in cats can be even more subtle. They may jump less high, sleep more or stop visiting certain favourite places.
Is your dog or cat limping, showing signs of pain, suddenly moving differently or becoming increasingly reluctant to move? Have your pet examined by a vet first. A joint supplement can provide support, but it does not replace an examination to determine the cause of the symptoms.
