First of all, you read it on a site that LOOKS like an independent site
called the "Arthritis and Glucosamine Information Center." Dig a little
deeper and read the fine print and you find that it's owned by "DTC Health
Inc., the makers of Flexicose and other high quality nutraceuticals."

The article is cited as
"An article on pet arthritis and joint pain by Pet Corner
Used with permission."
I couldn't find a web site that appeared to match "pet corner" with "uric
acid" that was meaningful in this context.

I chalk it up to bullshit marketing for their product.
