I have recently put Toby on Naf Canine Superflex and it has made a tremendous difference :)

I ordered another lot on line and received the order today but they have sent me Equine superflex by mistake! :rolleyes: It does state Canine superlex on the delivery note.

I have sent a message to them stating this but would be happy to keep it and give it to Toby if I knew the right dosage. He weighs approx 30KG.

The feeding instructions on the bottle say.... Horses and ponies 25ml per day or 15 ml per day for maintenance levels. No distinction then between an 18.2 shire or a 8.2hh mini shetland! :eek:

If I gave Toby 10ml/day - do you think that would be about right?

Comparing the ingredients on both bottles, the equine one is massively stronger than the canine one gram for gram.

What do you think?
 
The canine one dose is 1mg/kg.
Ingredients per ml:
MSM 100mg
Glucosamine HCl 85mg
l-Glutamine 40mg
Chondroitin sulphate 24mg
Antioxidants 12mg
........................
Horse one per 25ml=
Glucosamine HCl 4600mg
MSM 4300mg
Antioxidants 2725mg
l-glutamine 1200mg
Chondroitin sulphate 165mg
HA 10mg

Not the same formulation so ask for an exchange.
