There's probably a bajillion. Do you have any specific concerns, that may narrow it down some.

I am considering giving our dogs a supplement called Flex-Agility Max. Its main ingredient is Bromelain - which I know is safe. but, it also contains vitamin C (I know thats safe), Japanese Sohora flower, European Elder Berry Extrac, Green Tea (decaffinated) and something called N-Acetylcysteine. Oh - and a blend of hops, ginger ryizome extract and Boswellia. The sales person said that it was safe for dogs, but I want to make sure before giving it to them.

I've never heard of it. I've heard of some of the herbs.
I couldn't say it is safe, but I can say...this combination...what are they aiming for and is it necessary? Think about that before buying it.
Here is some info on the N-Acetylcysteine.

It's not an herb. It looks fairly new. But here is a start to find more info!

Thanks! From what I read about it - I think I should take it!
The Flex-Agility Max is supposed to relieve arthitis and joint pain etc. I had given it to Wrigley for a few days and he stopped limping after one full dayon it. The health food place said it was safe for dogs, and everything I had read had confirmed that the ingredients were safe for dogs. Then, a friend of mine used it for her dog and her vet told her that a couple of the ingredients in it could cause ulcers. But, can't aspirin cause that, and rymidal (sp) - doesn't that cause liver/kidney problems with long term use?
