Can i get this here in norway or is it someting i just can get in america?
The Syn-Flex website should have information about international orders, or where you might be able to find it closer to home. Otherwise, try looking for a Glucosamine / Chondroitin supplement with similar ingredients. Thanks for asking, and good luck!

I found a webshop in the UK who ships to norway 🙂
I got an email today from Alexandra,a woman who works in portugal where Bonita lives.I think she sounds like a very nice dog and i cant wait to meet her.
Hello Nina!
Thank you very much to have written to me.
I know everything about her since she appears in our company concrete plant, she was about 2 or 3 months ( she was a beautifull puppie ). This happens about 2.5 years ago, and since then she stays there. The people who works there like her very much.
One year ago she disappeared, and when we found her she was runned over by a car. Because of that her right back leg was amputated. At the same time she was castrated, so she can not have puppies.
She is very lovely and sweet to people, and she likes children ( I put my daughter near to her, and she was very happy ). Her relation with dogs is fine, she us to have a friend in the concrete plant, but unfortunately he dies.
About 3 days ago appears a new little puppie, and they are very sweet to each other ( the puppie is very pretty and she may have 6 or 7 months old). With the food she is a little bit jealous, but I think if each one have is dish there would be no problem.
She runs a lot... Even with 3 legs!!! She is a thin dog, I think it´s because she only has 3 legs and needs to try hard for everything rather for lack of food.
I hope I´ve helped you, and if you need anything, you just tell me.
Alexandra

Oh yeay! I would say, introduce the harness slowly. Let her smell it, then make putting it on fun. Hand her treats while you try. And whatever you do, don't leave her unsupervised while wearing it for a while. We made that mistake with our own Wyatt Ray, a rescue pup, and he attempted to chew off the straps. A couple of other dogs here have done the same thing too.
After a while, she'll get used to it, but just go slow. Good luck!

We dont have synflex in norway,but i have found an norwegian webshop that sell something called Hokamix,is that similar to synflex?
http://www.natu.....com/pages/.....kamix.html
I have personally never heard of Hokamix, but it looks like it has no Glucosamine nor Chondroitin. It appears, rather, to be a vitamin supplement with various essential oils to assist in digestion and strengthening the immune system ...
"Hokamix is a biological phyto-therapeutic feed additive which increases gut flora and restores the metabolism to a healthy state. It improves the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients and acts as a catalyst in the removal of toxic substances from the body."
You can compare to the ingredients of Synflex, but it seems like totally different dietary supplement.

Ok,just read that people had written it helped with all sorts of things,but i see that its not Glucosamine in it.So i just have to get synflex from the uk ,but thats ok =)
I cant wait to get her home,its not so long until we can pick her up at the airport,saturday the 28 this month she is comming to norway,All the test she has taken came back fine,for a dog to get imported to norway(from countries that are not rabies free)its very strict.She got a rabies shot,then waited 120 days to take a blood test to check and that was fine =)so a test for leishmaniasis,that was fine too.Then she got a ordinary vaccine and medicines for intestinal worms.And the vet has to write that the dog is otherwise healthy in the passport.So its good to know that it is strict and many tests have been taken,since i do not get to see the dog before she gets her.Its so exiting,but a bit scary too.I have never taken in a stray dog thats never lived in a home,but Cecilie the lady who are trying to help these dogs have taken in a stray and she says it didnt take long before the dog get used to live in a house.So with love and patience i think it will go just fine
Does she only understand Portuguese? That will be an experience trying to teach her Norwegian!!!
Tomorrow morning we are travelling to oslo airport,a 5 hour drive to get Bonita home,i cant wait to meet her
Nina, welcome. Not sure how I missed seeing this when you first posted, but I'm glad it popped back up. You will be amazed at how well Bonita adjusts. She will be a blessing to you in so many ways. Thank you for giving her a home.
Have a safe trip.
