Purica Pet Recovery Extra Strength chewable tablets are beef liver flavoured mobility chews for dogs and cats, made in Canada and sold in bottles of 60, 120 and 360 tablets. Each tablet is one dose unit for every 20 lb of body weight, which makes the count easy to match to your animal.
What is in each tablet
Every chewable tablet provides 250 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride and 250 mg of MSM, a source of organic sulfur. It adds 105 mg of magnesium ascorbate, 100 mg of the amino acid L-lysine and 35 mg of Boswellia serrata extract standardized to more than 65% boswellic acid. Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acetate) gives 25 IU, and sodium hyaluronate gives 7.5 mg of hyaluronic acid. The excipients are betaine, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, silicon, microcrystalline cellulose, beef liver flavour, modified food starch, silicon dioxide and maltodextrin.
Why a chew
Many dogs take a liver flavoured tablet as a reward, so there is no powder to measure and nothing to hide in food. The tablet breaks in half for small animals. The 60 and 120 counts come in amber glass bottles; the 360 count comes in a large tub for multi-dog homes and big breeds.
How to give it
The label sets the dose at 1 tablet per 20 lb of body weight, given 1 to 2 times daily: under 10 lb, 1/2 tablet; 11 to 20 lb, 1 tablet; 21 to 40 lb, 2 tablets; 41 to 80 lb, 4 tablets; 81 to 250 lb (maximum weight), 5 tablets. Store the bottle at room temperature and keep it closed, since the tablets should stay dry.
Who it suits
Pet Recovery chews suit older dogs that hesitate at stairs, active dogs in agility or field work, and cats that will accept a half tablet. It is a veterinary health product for animals only. Do not give it to pregnant or nursing animals, and talk to your veterinarian if your pet takes other products.
Bottle or tub
The 60 and 120 counts come in amber glass with a metal lid. The 360 count comes in a white plastic tub for large breeds and homes with several dogs.
