I have for some years used these for myself and dogs...but now run out.......after two or three weeks without them I can see my dog is troubled again..... I have not had the usual mail from the supplier and wrote to them..Health Express in Geurnsey.....but my letter returned as not at the PO Box no.............possibly now out of business. Point is...does anyone know where I could buy low dosage tablets................

Don't know if they are 'low dosage' but you can get them in Holland and Barrett etc. Allie

try google - loads of suppliers

You can get Glucasomine from any health food shop. My dogs have always been OK on theirs . As for the other things I am not sure about I would ask at the health shop they may have them or something the same. Germaine x

House of Health is quite reliable for everything by mail order Cherryxx

Hello Jess, Long time no see... I did try google before I put up this thread....but I don't want trouble....................not clear in my thread details but I used to get loads of junk mail when I bought small quantities and I sent a large order to Health Express.since then Ihave not had much bumph......... Went on line via google and there are suppliers but they are selling the more expensive high dosage stuff................I was wondering if there are any other mail order firms reg in the Channell Islands sending out their catalogues....or even Tesco's Thanks again Jess for all the help you gave me with your birthday or Christmas present Cheers Colin

My Mum recommended them for me to get for hubby. She gave me a magazine and this is the web address from it www.healthydirect*co.uk (replace * with .)

Thanks Jeaneete, Just been on various web sites and found Healthy Direct...looks OK....................I am discovering that the ones I had from Health Express were very low dosage......and that may account for their low price..................there is also a Woods so I may be sorted....will have to cut the tablets in half..... I live in a little Welsh place andwe do not have a large variety of shops,so mail order is the favourite Cheers Colin

My mum uses the glucosamine and chondroitin. She used to buy hers mail order but found it was quite expensive. I'll see if she can remember where she got them from. She now gets hers on prescription which, as a pensioner, she doesn't have to pay for. Lorrainex

lots of chemist sell um now, you could break um up so they reduce the dosage

Sorry, Colin, my mum can't remember the name of the supplier but she also got hers from Guernsey. She had a leaflet the other week but got rid of it as she's getting them from our doc. Lorrainex

The name of my supplier is HealthSpan and they are in Guernsey There is also House of Health brenda

I get mine from Holland & Barrett, but they are a bit pricey. Mind you, I have the high strength ones.

Thank you for your replies,.....have the original label and the dosage is 50 10 10 .....very low....but will sort it out now as my little Becky is again showing signs of arthritis Cheers Colin

Stocked up on my glucosamine at H & B while they have their special offers on, up to the 7th of this month I think. Liz

Thanks Christine..............decided that Becky needed them now so have been to the supermarket..............bit expensive and over the usual dosage but will do until the supply from Channel Ilse arrives........... Another question I have another 14 year old border collie who has a growth on her rear leg...around the lower part...............went to the vet some months back and was told that there is nothing they can do......it will grow and unless she bites it to open a wound it should be OK......It has grown and now it has reached her paw....last night she started to avoid putting the foot down...................deaf but still happy...Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this...........I will be taking her to the vets on Monday

Actually Colin, we gave the same products to horses for joint problems and general athritis with good results, and you can buy it at any suppliers of horse feeds and dog feeds around here. Perhaps you would need advice in adjusting the dose for your dog......an animal feed supplier would be your best bet, just google for your area......

Thanks Sally, Animal feeds suppliers... There is one near the grand daughters...I will ask her to call today

Yes Colin, I know that one of my friends used the same product for her horse, and for her Jack Russells.....

I get ours from Healthspan in Guernsey very good customer service and they send regular booklets thro with latest offers but no hard sell. Both hubby and myself take Glucosmine on the advice of the Chiropractor
