Our verdict

For long-backed breeds prone to spinal strain, this 180-count capsule delivers a fully disclosed dose of chondroitin and taurine per capsule rather than a proprietary blend.

Overview

VetriScience's Healthy Spine and Disc capsules, model 0900580.18, pack chondroitin sourced from bovine tracheal cartilage plus taurine into an easy-open capsule aimed at back and spinal support for long-backed dog breeds.

The listing names dachshunds, corgis, French bulldogs and basset hounds specifically, breeds whose long backs put them at higher risk of disc strain. Unusually for a supplement listing, the full per-capsule ingredient breakdown is disclosed rather than summarized.

  • 180 capsules per bottle
  • Chondroitin plus taurine formula
  • Easy-open capsule design
  • Aimed at long-backed breeds

Who it's for

Owners of long-backed or disc-prone breeds wanting a supplement with a disclosed dose per capsule. Owners whose dogs refuse capsules should look elsewhere, since these are unflavored.
