VetriScience Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chews, GlycoFlex Glucosamine and Green-Lipped Mussel Joint Support Supplement for Dogs, Promote Mobility and Soothe Joint Discomfort, Chicken, 120 Count

I first found VetriScience chews when I adopted a 15-year-old rescue who could barely walk. She was always a bit stiff, but after being on these for a while, she was running again. They also helped another senior dog we lost a couple years ago, and now my current older dog takes them too.The chews are about the size of a quarter, and my dogs like the taste, so giving them is easy. The smell isn’t unpleasant to me. If anything, it actually helps me tell the chews are fresh. They’re mostly sturdy, though some pieces break apart near the end of the bag, so I keep an eye on that.They’re pricey, but for me, it’s worth it to help keep my dogs moving comfortably. I trust VetriScience, and it seems they’ve improved the packaging recently—the new bags keep the chews fresher longer. Before, they’d dry out halfway through, which was frustrating.It’s hard seeing your dogs get older, but these chews have been a real help. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without them.

Excellent. Has really helped my injured in spine and other almost 13 years young English Pointer! I am reaching out to Co as a Holistic DVM I watch shared that too much liver in soft treats can increase copper which is not good for the liver.

Just began these for my Bully, will keep my review updated as more time goes by, he likes them, so I guess they taste good. He does not currently have issues with mobility, but we are beginning them as a prevention measure for future occurrences. Its a huge heavy bag so definitely worth the price, I subscribed to them that way they're here before we run out so we don't have to miss any days.

My baby is getting up better. She has more energy. I would totally buy again. Just wish it came in a soft chew!

My two German Shepherds really benefit from this product It is a treat for them.

Annie is a 14 y.o. Maltypoo. She is a rescue from being a former breeder. We feed her a homemade diet of chicken/turkey/liver/sweet potato/carrot and a few other things (mostly cooked, but some raw) as we have it available. She stays on the second floor and negotiates a long stairwell several times per day (pay no attention to the Halloween trimming).After about 3 weeks on this supplement both as treat nibbles and mixed into food, we noticed she wasn't waiting to be carried down every time. In fact she began to climb back up as well after about 7 weeks. Six months in and I think we have maximum progress with about 80% or more of her trips under her own power; occasional carries only in one direction or the other. Not bad for a small dog where the distance between steps if half her body length.Nothing else has been changed in her diet or treatment. No comparison to any other supplementy as this is the only one we've used. We are pleased with the changes we've noticed.

Most of us have seen the rows of supplements on the human shelves that promise joint health, improved mobility and ease of joint pain. Usually right along side the rows of stuff for natural estrogen, prostate health and all sorts of stuff. Like most people, I sort of scoffed at that stuff, firmly believing that most of the effect is the placebo effect.Dogs, however, don't have the placebo effect. If something works, it is because it is actually working. It changed my mind completely on Glucosamine, MSM and the other joint improvement supplements.My former old man dog rescue came to me with horrific joints (as well as everything else) as he had never received any medical care of any kind in his life. He was an old hunter that had a number, not a name, and was rescued. He was a mess, I admit, and no one in their right mind would adopt him. But it was one of those "love at first sight" things. We were best buds from the moment we met.He had two torn cruciate ligaments and dire levels of arthritis. He had his surgeries but to prepare for them and for his overall health, the vet prescribed these for him. I was not convinced but I forked over the money because I figured it was worth a try. I was absolutely astounded at the changes after about 6 weeks. He still needed his surgery but that horrible creaking and popping and stiffness all but disappeared. At first, I put it down to just being cared for and having his teeth done and all of that.After his surgery and recovery time, I stopped giving him the Glyco Flex III because the vet didn't say anythng about it. He probably just figured I wasn't a complete idiot and knew to give it but I was and I didn't. Within about a month....well post surgery and after a full recovery period...of not getting it anymore he was really showing the arthritis. Back to the vet we went and I have to say, the vet was very nice about NOT rolling her eyes at me but did say that this was a lifelong need of his. Back on it we went and back to being a flexible puppy my old man went.Sadly, my boy passed last year of a sudden collaps of 5 vertabrae in his neck...just from turning his head suddenly. Which brings me to the caution for this stuff. YES, it will improve the joints. Absolutely. But it doesn't actually correct degenerating bones. It will make their time on earth less painful and more full of fun, but it won't stop crumbling bones from crumbling.My rescue boy now, also an old man with significant health problems (I'm a sucker) takes it now too and like my former dog, he's now a jumping happy maniac with pain free and flexible joints. I just can't recommend this highly enough!Introduce it slowly and be sure to do it with food to avoid initial stomach upset. Good luck!
