VetriScience Vetri-Disc Joint Health Dog Capsules, 180 count
VetriScience Laboratories’ Vetri-Disc combines bovine tracheal cartilage with amino acids, mineral sulfates, vitamins, pepsin, and natural silicon sources all necessary for the support and maintenance of connective tissue. Bovine tracheal cartilage is a rich source of chondroitin sulfates which make up the connective tissue matrix and are found in an especially high concentration in the spinal and invertebrate disc tissues.
Other nutrients like taurine and equisetum arvense are necessary for the synthesis of connective tissue, while minerals like calcium and magnesium support bone growth and maintenance. Zinc is necessary for tissue respiration and is also important in the body’s healing process. Amino acids like serine link the glycosaminoglycan structure to connective tissue proteins, and vitamins C and D support collagen production and calcium absorption, respectively.

Where are your products made?
VetriScience® products are manufactured in the United States. However, we source the raw material for our products from both inside and outside the United States. Our raw material suppliers acquire high quality ingredients from all over the world. Depending on our needs and current market supplies, a particular raw material may be from 1 country in 1 batch, and from another country in another batch. For our raw materials, we require a Certificate of Analysis, which documents the quality, purity, and potency. This qualifies each raw material before accepting it for production.Our parent company - FoodScience® Corporation - is certified to operate under current Good Manufacturing Processes (cGMP) protocols. Under these protocols, we require that each ingredient in a formula be supplied with the respective Certificate of Analysis. This means that the supplier is required to test the ingredient for contaminants, such as heavy metals, microorganisms, and other physical or chemical parameters unique to the ingredient, before the ingredient is shipped. Any raw materials that do not meet our specifications are sent back to the supplier. Upon receipt of a raw material, it is tested for potency and other parameters outlined in the ingredient's specification sheet. Test results are compared against the established specifications.
Is it ok the double the recommended dose if I feel that my animal needs stronger/better support?
Please follow all dosing instructions stated on our packaging. VetriScience® calculates our dosing strength according to the animal's weight. Never increase dosing on a nutritional supplement without discussing it with your vet first.
Do VetriScience® products require refrigeration?
Refrigeration of our products is not recommended due to the fact that refrigeration produces moisture, which can degrade nutrients, change smell, and reduce the shelf life on nutritional supplements. Please follow the storage instructions on our labels.

A Real Difference
By Nise on Jan 15, 2020
I have seen a difference in only three days. My little dachshund has IVDD. She was doing well with just glucosamine and was walking at about 80%. The holidays threw her into a setback with all the traveling, visiting dogs and just getting off her routine. She was back to dragging. After only three days on Vetri Disc, she started standing and walking again. She is more alert, has brighter eyes, and I can tell she just feels better. Definitely a difference!!

Two senior dachshunds - no back problems!
By Fran on Jan 3, 2020
I have two senior dachshunds (14 and 12) and I have been putting this in their food for the past 3 years. Neither have back issues, but I've been giving this to them as a preventative per my vet's recommendation. They're both very active and healthy with no issues (so far)!

Great supplement
By MUTTSONMONROE on Jul 25, 2019
I use this product for my 5 year old Pomeranian. It was suggested by her rehab doctor after being diagnosed with IVDD. The ingredients in this product are key to keeping my girl from regressing from IVDD. I use this product in conjunction with Adequan and GlycoFlex chews and have seen great strides in improvement for her. My only draw back is the size of these pills. It's not feasible to try to give a small dog. I have finally resorted to breaking the pills in half and dumping the powder into wet food. Although with the ingredients, I think this tends to make my girls tummy upset from time to time.

Great product for my Shih Tzu with spine problems
By Kkbenz on Aug 31, 2019
My veterinarian started my Shih Tzu on this after she was diagnosed with compression fractures in L4/L5 in her back. I open up the capsule and sprinkle it on her food daily. She now moves around much better even at 13. It does not affect the taste of her food. Will keep her on this for the rest of her life.

No side effects
By Rwb14 on May 27, 2019
My 3 year old Boykin Spaniel had back surgery a couple months ago. Hope this will help prevent another injury. No upset tummy with this, even when giving him 3 pills in one meal. Easy to pull apart pills and dump powder on food.

Vet recommended
By Dkjen on May 14, 2019
Our Vet recommended Vetri Disc for our pug when he was diagnosed with deteriorating discs. I give it to him in wrapped in a piece of shaved turkey, and he gobbles it right down. This supplement has helped to slow down the progression of his condition.
