Then check the dosage chart below and see how much you would need for your dog every day based upon their weight. ## Dosage Guide | **Dog's Weight (kg)** | **Initial Loading Dose (4 weeks Daily)** | **Maintenance Daily** | | --- | --- | --- | | 5-10 | 1 chew | ½ chew | | 11-20 | 2 chew | 1 chew | | 21-30 | 3 chews | 1½ chews | | 31-40 | 4 chews | 2 chews | | Over 40 | 5 chews | 2½ chews |   Do you want faster results? An initial loading dose can help your dog rapidly achieve a therapeutic level of glucosamine, chondroitin and of course, [green lipped mussel (GLM)](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/green-lipped-mussel-glm-the-power-behind-glyde). Think of it as a booster to get you started. You can always go straight to the maintenance dose, although it may take longer to see results.  If your dog is already on another arthritis supplement, go straight to the maintenance dose. For best results, give your dog [Glyde® Mobility Chews](https://storeanz.parnell.com/products/glyde-chews) every day. The key is to have a regular schedule. ## Ensure mobility all year long When you enroll in a [Glyde subscription](https://storeanz.parnell.com/pages/subscribe-and-save), you are ensuring your pet receives daily treatment essential to protecting them from the painful signs of osteoarthritis. A bonus is that as a subscriber, you can personalise it to guarantee your dog has what they need, when they need it. As an example, if you have a 17 kg dog, your fur-baby would get two chews per day. You could choose to order a 60-count jar of Glyde every month or a 120-count jar every other month.  Then it comes to your home, and you don’t have to worry about falling behind or picking it up yourself. Another bonus is that shipping is always free and you save 10% off of every shipment.  ## Questions? We love talking to pet parents to help create a personalised plan for your special fur-baby. Call us at 1 800 665 882 and we will be glad to help you through the process to keep your dog active all year long. --- ### Also in the Parnell Paws Blog [![Perfect Pet Holiday Feast: What to Share with Your Dog](https://blog.parnell.com/hubfs/What-your-dog-can-eat-for-the-holidays.jpg)](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/perfect-pet-holiday-feast-what-to-share-with-your-dog) [Perfect Pet Holiday Feast: What to Share with Your Dog](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/perfect-pet-holiday-feast-what-to-share-with-your-dog) 20/11/23 2:01 PM [Read More ](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/perfect-pet-holiday-feast-what-to-share-with-your-dog) [![Advantages & Disadvantages of Online Dog Training Courses](https://blog.parnell.com/hubfs/dog%20training.png)](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/advantages-disadvantages-of-online-dog-training-courses) [Advantages & Disadvantages of Online Dog Training Courses](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/advantages-disadvantages-of-online-dog-training-courses) 16/08/23 2:35 PM [Read More ](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/advantages-disadvantages-of-online-dog-training-courses) [![10 Ways to Celebrate Your Dog’s Birthday](https://blog.parnell.com/hubfs/Happy%20birthday%2c%20Dog!.jpg)](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/10-ways-to-celebrate-your-dogs-birthday-today) [10 Ways to Celebrate Your Dog’s Birthday](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/10-ways-to-celebrate-your-dogs-birthday-today) 1/08/23 2:37 PM [Read More ](https://blog.parnell.com/en-au/10-ways-to-celebrate-your-dogs-birthday-today) #### Share [![Share on facebook](https://7528309.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528309/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/facebook-color.png?width=24&name=facebook-color.png) ](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on linkedin](https://7528302.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528302/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/linkedin-color.png?width=24&name=linkedin-color.png) ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on twitter](https://7528304.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528304/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/twitter-color.png?width=24&name=twitter-color.png) ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=) [![Share on email](https://7528311.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hub/7528311/hubfs/raw_assets/public/mV0_d-web-default-modules_hubspot/img/email-color.png?width=24&name=email-color.png) ](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fblog.parnell.com%2Fen-au%2Fhow-much-glyde-does-your-dog-need%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) #### +MUST READ -
