I needed to get more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, MSM for my dogs, and accidentally bought a brand that had 250mg of Chinese Skullcap (root) (Scutellaria baicalensis) and Black Catechu (wood) (Acacia catechu). Are they safe for dogs?  I can't find anything definite online.

It also has hyaluronic acid 3.3 mg, glucosamine HCl 1500 mg, MSM 1500 mg, and Chondroitin sulfate sodium 200 mg.  The amounts are for 3 pills.  How many per day would I give my 70 and 76 pound dogs?  Thanks!

Amy, I don't know about the Skullcap or Catechu but will look that up.

Meanwhile, maybe this Cat & Dog Drug Dosage Calculator can help with the dosage.

I do not know about these drugs.  They may be safe but I just can't say.  Is there some sort of symbol that guarantees purity?  Some herbs are contaminated with other chemicals so you have to be careful!

There are a lot of literatures about Chinese Skullcap in cancer treatment.  Here is one to start:  http://www.chir.....hp?id=9456
