During our first main checkup with the 12 year old rescue dog that we just adopted, I took a picture of the bag's back and showed it to our vet. It's fun to see those! he said. This stuff is excellent for her arthritis and malnutrition issues! I will restock this stuff when we reach the end of our 90 count bag today.
My aim was to discover if glucosamine and chondroitin both had the same effects on the joints and if they were different - i.e., glucosamine made my joints feel smoother, chondroitin made my joints more flexible. Rather than taking them both, why not just take one? There seems to be some concern about the body's ability to fully absorb both compounds when they are taken in conjunction, as indicated by the website of the Arthritis Foundation. Therefore, both my husband and I, along with our dogs, will be taking just glucosamine (with msm) supplements for the time being. Having said that, I am not certain if this will help. If you want to make your own decision, you might want to do some research into what these two compounds are supposed to do, whether they should be used together or not, and then decide for yourself.
In short, yes. There is a 40 pound dog in my family. The first thing I do in the mornings is to do 2 cubes. There is a box on the package with the poundage to give.
Grain free is how I would describe it.

Make sure you carefully read the product descriptions before you buy. The next day, my dog never wanted to eat it, but by the evening I convinced her to go ahead. A second day of training has started. In the third week, I experienced nausea and diarrhea. There hasn't been any water or food for my dog. I was taken to the vet in a hurry on day four. A $300 test and a range of medicines were given to the patient. I will be here on Day 5 A full course of antibiotics, probiotics, and other medications gradually brought back the dog to life.
Reviews are normally not part of what I do, but I thought this one may be of interest. The border collie began vomiting blood after he was given 2 chews per day for a week. Our son has eaten the same food for years, and he has had problems with his joints, so we thought the supplement chews might Adding these treats to his diet was the only thing he changed. After the vet diagnosed him with HGE, he was rushed to the hospital and had to spend the night the bill for the stay exceeded $1000. In case your dog is sensitive to this medicine, I HIGHLY recommend consulting a veterinarian before giving this There's a chance that this may not happen to every dog who takes this product, but I wanted to give a warning to those with stomach problems for their dogs.
The back leg of my corgi is in bad shape due to what we believe was a tiny dislocation when it was His favoring of it wasn't even known until he was 8 years old with no indication that he had already hurt It was too late to fix the damage due to the rays showing the damage. He is prescribed several expensive medications for the condition, so we treat it as arthritis. As with other corgis, he is also prone to gaining weight. Though he's the happiest dog we know right now, he's starting to slow down and takes a bit longer to get up in the morning now that he's almost 12. To add to the meds, I gave him these with a low expectation. Various antibacterial agents were being administered to him The anti-inflammatory oils were getting expensive, so we tried these. Within a week of giving them to him, he has been more active and perkier. Getting him up on time in the morning is no longer a chore. He is happier all day now. It seems like it took about five years to get there! A great review was warranted based on the results and the price. This is something I hope other people will try for their dogs because it feels great to see them feeling.
Normally it would be 5 stars, but there are several bags with broken chews so I don't get 180 servings in a bag. However, this is most likely an issue for the seller rather than the brand. This brand of chews is the sort that I hold dear to my heart. I started buying them at Walmart and then on Amazon when they were not in stock. These bags have been full of dust and broken pieces of the supplements since the last time I bought them. ( I've bought them several times and have always been pleased with them. ) I will attempt to buy from Walmart again to see if it is the brand or the seller, and I will update.
I picked up these after my dogs threw them I started these after my big guy passed away a few weeks later. A bad timing may have made a difference These weren't really able to hold down either dog. It is for damn sure that I wouldn't buy these again.
She no longer presents any symptoms. Over 17 years old (Jack Russell Terrier), my dog is now helping me with my daughters' school work. In the age range of 13 to 18 years old Her joints hurt constantly and she would sometimes injure herself (whine and limp for a short period, but would always recover the following Since starting using these about two years ago, I have also tried product after product that claimed to help with hip and joint pain, but none of them made a difference for her. As for limping, she has not done that, nor has she been whining since I started using Rather than the maximum dose the vet suggests, I give her two every morning (I know that's too much, but I figured with her age and problems I'd go ahead and increase it) as treats for going outside. She loves it. I was worried when she was 14 because she had so many problems that I thought she would soon leave us. She is no longer showing any signs of slowing down several years later. Playing and running in the yard is her favorite activity Not so much as she did when she was much younger, but who could blame her for not doing as much as she did? It is likely that these vitamins are the reason she is doing well today.
It is a good value for the product, as I am a veterinary technician and have been wary about using supplements like this in my practice. When my husky was diagnosed with DJD and would have repeated episodes of limping and whining at least once a week, I thought it was worth a shot, since it couldn't hurt at all. After about a month, I was convinced. It has been almost two years since she has been on them and there has been a distinct improvement. There has been a dramatic decrease in her limping and whining about her hip. Now she limps and whines once or twice a month. It is definitely worth checking out. value for the money. In addition to eating them, she also enjoys making them.
There is no better product on the market. It was hard for my dog to get up from a lying down position to a standing position before taking this drug. Her pain caused her to be reluctant to climb stairs etc. The veterinarian suggested a prescription medication that would help relieve her pain, but it would shorten her life. I asked the vet if dogs could take glucosamine, since this supplement helped my husband, and he said yes. Rather than giving her the prescription, I decided to give her glucosamine. When I found one that was made for dogs, I was thrilled. VetIQ is the product I purchased. As soon as I noticed improvements, I was encouraged. This is her favorite treat and she gladly accepts it as a reward. Her anticipation and excitement grows whenever I pick up the bag of medicine. She whines until I give it to her in the morning. I have been giving my dog this medication for the past year and a half, and she has been It appears that she is not experiencing any pain in her joints. VetIQ was so much better than I expected and I am thrilled that I tried it instead of the prescription the veterinarian prescribed.
