Remy's Soothing Glucosamine Peanut Butter Bars

Awhile ago my husband suffered from a severe Knee/Leg injury where he tore his ACL among other things. Now both my husband and I take a lot of various vitamins, but one vitamin my husband takes for his sore joints and recovery is Glucosamine. Glucosamine is one of the most popular ingredients in joint based supplements, because it works.

Glucosamine, which is produced naturally in the body, plays a key role in building cartilage, the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints. There are no major food sources of glucosamine, so you must get it from supplements. Most supplements are made from chitin, the hard outer shells of shrimp, lobsters, and crabs. It is one of the key building blocks of the skeleton and the joints, and therefore when supplemented, it can over time supplement and rebuild the joints. Users have reported it takes time to see results, but over time the results only improve. Glucosamine is also very beneficial for dogs, especially larger breeds like our dogs who are both German Shepherds. Our one dog suffers from Hip and Elbow Dyslplasia and has already had 2 major elbow surgeries. As you can imagine his recover is very important to us. We noticed a huge improvement in both our dogs shortly after we started them both on Glucosamine Chrondirtian MSM.

Fresh, ground peanut butter is more nutritious than regular peanut butter because in every serving, you are eating 10 percent more peanuts and not the other bad ingredients. Peanuts are full of essential nutrients, such as protein, vitamin E, folic acid, niacin, B6, folate and thiamin. In order to get my dog's Glucosamine in their diet I give them a pill a day inside their bite size peanut butter bars. It's important to check with your vet in regards to how much Glucosamine your dogs need. Mix and combine 1 cup organic peanut butter (creamy natural with no added salt or sugar) 3 cups organic natural rolled oat You can either flatten peanut butter and oats in a cooking dish or a tupperware container, you can also separate into little cookie size balls place on wax paper in container, you can layer them on top of each other and by separating the layers with wax paper and freeze. I give my dogs these treats frozen, but you can give them the treats after they have been in the fridge for at least an hour so they are cold and hardened.
