If you are giving your cat (or other pet) supplements you might want to be aware of this. The FDA has shut down TEVA Animal Health for repeatedly failing to comply with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice.) TEVA manufactured G3-Synovi as well as other supplements, for example here:

They also made generic veterinary pharmaceuticals.

If you want the blow-by-blow details of what the FDA inspection turned up this past spring, it is here:

Here is the official announcement from the FDA from the summer:

Since this is fairly recent, their products are still being sold online. I don't know about anyone else, but even if I saw the stuff deeply discounted I wouldn't buy it knowing this.
