What is Free and Easy for Dogs?
Free and Easy is a nutritional supplement for dogs designed to provide
complete nutritional support for joints, cartilage, and ligaments combined
with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents. No fillers are used. This
is a concentrated product. The intention in creating this product:
it must be a holistic formulation; it must cause no harm; it must remove
toxins and free radicals and most important, it must work effectively to
improve your dog's health.
Who makes Free and Easy for Dogs?
Dynamite
Marketing makes and distributes Free & Easy. They have been
in business for since 1973 and their headquarters are located in Meridian, Idaho.
What are the amounts of each ingredient in Free and Easy?
The developers do not list the amounts due to proprietary reasons
except for glucosamine and chondroitin. The amount of chondroitin is
170mg per gram. The amount of glucosamine is 11 mg per gram.
One thing to keep in mind is that all ingredients are pure with
no fillers,
and they are designed to work synergistically to produce effective
results. Synergy is the action of 2 or more agents (e.g., drugs)
working together to produce an effect greater than the combined effect of
the same agents used separately. This quality has been
the staple of Dynamite Marketing for over 30 years.
Is the Glucosamine in Free and Easy, Glucosamine Sulphate or Glucosamine Hydrochloride (HCL)?
Free and Easy for Dogs uses neither. The sulfate or HCL is simply a carrier molecule for the
actual glucosamine. One study showed the actual glucosamine in glucosamine sulphate to be 63%
and for HCL it was 83%. Free and Easy is extracted using water resulting
in a more pure form of glucosamine, which is one of the reasons why it is
so effective. Also, a potential problem of glucosamine sulphate is that some dogs and
humans are allergic to the sulpha.
What is Glucosamine anyways?
Glucosamine, a substance naturally produced in the body, is made up of an amine and a sugar.
It's the building block for several important substances found in the joints of the body,
including chondroitin and synovial fluid, the substance that lubricates joints.
There are no food sources of glucosamine. Supplements are
derived from chitin, the hard outer shells of shrimp, lobster, and
crabs.
Did the 2004 Iditarod winner use Free and Easy for his dogs?
Yes, it is true and we are all very proud of the 2004 champion Mitch Seavey and his dogs.
We are also very proud of the Free and Easy product because we know how grueling the race is on
the dogs and their joints. This validates what we knew all along. Free and Easy is an awesome product.

What kind of results can I expect from Free and Easy?
Every pet is different but it can be used as a preventative measure or
as therapy. Read the testimonials and especially how are beloved Frederick
became known as the Dachshund Extraordinaire. At one point last year, our
vet suspected Frederick had arthritis. I thought it was unlikely because
of the Free & Easy he was taking. The vet took x-rays and he came back
clean as a whistle with no evidence of arthritis or joint inflammation.

weight and using a maintenance level dosage.
8 oz. Free & Easy
2 lb. Free & Easy
Here are the suggested feeding levels. The 8 ounce container has 224 grams and the 2 lb.
container has 896 grams. The dosage is per day and not per
feeding.
Therapeutic -
Dogs 10 lbs. and smaller - 1 gram per 3 lbs. of weight.
Dogs Over 10 lbs. - 1 gram per 6 lbs. of weight.
Maintenance -
Dogs 10 lbs. and smaller - 1 gram per 5 lbs.
of weight.
Dogs Over 10 lbs. - 1 gram per 9 lbs. of weight.
Example 1 - Using 2 grams daily for a 12 lb. dog for therapeutic level, the 8 ounce container would last 112 days
(224/2=112). The 2 lb. container would last 448 days (896/2=448).
Example 2 - Using 7 grams daily for
a 63 lb. dog for maintenance level, the 8 ounce
container would last 32 days (224/7=32). The 2 lb. container would
last 128 days (896/7=128).
Is there any circumstances where I shouldn't give the Free and Easy to my pet?
If your pet is pregnant or lactating, temporarily discontinue usage or use only on the advice of
your vet. If your pet is on other prescribed medications from your vet, it is always prudent to
inform the vet if you intend to use the product for your pet.
In very rare cases, your dog may develop diarrhea. Stop
giving the supplement until the dog has regular bowel movements,
then slowly introduce the dog to the supplement. You can do
this by cutting the dosage to 1/4 strength and then slowly increase
it to regular strength over a 2 week period. Sometimes, the dog's body may need
time to
adjust to the supplement.
Is Free and Easy available in liquid or powdered form and what is the best way to give it to your dog?
Free and Easy comes in powdered form. The best way is to mix it with your dog food by adding a couple of teaspoons of
water along with some dry dog food and some canned dog food. If you only feed your dog dry dog food, then add slightly more water to the mixture.
What if my dog won't eat his food after adding the Free & Easy
You can try cutting down on the dosage to 1/4 the original dosage and see if they will eat it. Then slowly increase it to recommended dosage.
Sometimes, you have to be creative. You can try something like IAM's Gravy to mix with it. Or a great product which is very beneficial to your dog is
Grizzly Salmon Oil, which has a great taste and contains the helpful Omega 3 & Omega 6
fatty acids. 99% of the dogs will have no issue with the Free
& Easy supplement but once in a great while, the finicky dog will
present a challenge. We have had great success with the
Grizzly Salmon Oil.
