Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chews, GlycoFlex Glucosamine and Green-Lipped Mussel Joint Support Supplement for Dogs, Promote Mobility & Soothe Joint Discomfort, Chicken, 60 Count

These are great for my older dog. Without them she limps a lot. With them it’s easier for her to get around. She still wants to play and these help the puppy come out lol.

The breeder that I got my lab from recommended this product when my (then 8-year-old) dog started suffering with arthritis. I used the product but could not be sure if it was working, and I thought it was too expensive. I only used it for maybe four months and stopped. Fast forward 2 1/2 years. My dog's pain had gotten much worse but now I've changed his diet, tested him for bone cancer, have him on more joint supplements (a popular budget brand), pain pills from the vet and very expensive CBD chews and his pain persists. I was shopping on Amazon and this product popped up again after a few years and I ordered it. My old guy has been back on it for about 10 days, and he is feeling so much better. He jumped on the top of a 3 1/2-foot wall on our walk tonight. He's not tapping his foot on the ground in pain, and you can just tell by his bounce and energy how much better he feels. It's so great knowing that he feels better.

Around 8 years of age, our labradoodle started hesitating to jump on the couch and kept twisting his joints just running around. He's been on this since and we started seeing improvements very quickly. He's 9 now and we also started the senior multivitamin which is a game changer in his attitude. Much livelier than before.

All three of our senior dogs get these as a daily supplement. We don't have any problems getting them to take these, and they do seem to help. I know there's a big debate over the effectiveness of glucosamine in joint health and if it actually helps or it's more of a placebo. Our oldest dog is a little over 13 and has been receiving hip and joint supplements for years, and based on what our vets have told us, for a dog his age his hips and spine are in great shape. He is just recently starting to show arthritis in his spine and dysplasia in his hips, and being a larger dog (75 pound Lab/Retriever mix), every vet he's seen has said to keep up whatever we are doing for him. He gets good exercise, high quality food, and these supplements, so even though the jury is still out on whether or not glucosamine does or does not help, I'll keep giving these to our senior dogs. Maybe it's the other ingredients rather than just the glucosamine, but so far they've helped hold back the aging process in their joints. Even our two other dogs (one is 11 and the other is 9) don't show the level or extent of arthritis or dysplasia that should be present at their ages for their size and breed, especially our GSD. We had been giving them the hard tablets, but decided to switch to the chews because we don't have to worry about them being eaten. They have a bit of a funky smell, but the dogs don't mind. The pups snarf it down eagerly and look for more. We haven't had any tummy troubles switching from the tablets to the chewies, either. My only concern with the chews is that they will dry out as they do have a bit of a crumbly texture to them. There are a few tablespoons of crumbles at the bottom of the bag, but I think that is more of a shipping and delivery issue as these came in a big box (way too big for just two bags of chews) without any padding to keep them from bouncing around the box during shipment. In the two years we've been giving these to our pups, we've been pretty pleased with the results. Prevention is cheaper and less time consuming than vet visits, x-rays, shots, getting a pet to take meds like steroids or Rimadyl (which too frequently can permanently damage the liver), blood work to see how those meds are affecting the pet's liver or kidneys, and more. So as long as our guys keep showing such good results at keeping arthritis at bay, we will keep using GlycoFlex.

A while ago, I wrote a review about Glyco-Flex III and what a great product it has been for my lab who was born with severe genetic arthritis from birth and before the age of 2, had TPLO surgery in both back legs. I adopted my lab at 4yrs old in 2012, it is now 2020. He he has been on Glyco-Flex for over 8 yrs. and is still doing AMAZING on it! When he originally was placed on Glyco-Flex, we followed directions for dosing up to 4 chews a day, then through to maintenance at 2 chews a day. When he turned 10 yrs old, we noticed he was struggling get up and down and doing stairs, so we placed him on the max dose of 4 chews a day (with vet approval) and that brought him back to his normal mobile self. He is now 12 yrs old, and as his arthritis progresses, we noticed he struggles more and more getting up and down on non-carpeted floors, doing stairs (or any at all), and doesn't want to run or jog like he used to. We called our vet and asked for solutions and they indicated that if we don't want to do prescription pain meds, it would be ok to increase to 5 chews a day, just watch his bowel movements and stomach. If he does ok, it's safe to keep him on 5 a day so we tried it. He has now been on 5 chews a day for over 6 months, hasn't had any negative issues and is actually running, jogging, playing, and doing stairs! He acts very happy, is playful, and doesn't show signs of pain. He's more playful now than ever and always has a smile on his face. I simply can't say enough good things about how Glyco-Flex III has saved our lab and gave him his mobility and life back. For a dog who was born with severe genetic arthritis and vets recommended he be euthanized, has proven them all wrong. Having TPLO surgery early in his life clearly was the right choice his former owners made. And when we adopted him at 4 yrs old, placing him on Glyco-Flex III has given him a lifetime of fun, mobility, and pleasure. I am not an employee, nor associated with VetriScience in any way, shape or form. I am not a paid or unpaid reviewer and have received no gifts, kickbacks, or anything from anyone to write this review. I am simply a customer who is using this product and wanted to provide everyone out there a real, unfiltered, authentic and genuine review of how this product is helping my dog live a normal life without the use of prescriptions. I hope you find this helpful and wish you all the best.

2 weeks, 2 Short weeks - and my dog is feeling like a new dog!! I have an old (8yo) English Bulldog who was already getting stiff. Then he survived a heat stroke but has some ugly after effects showing up. He could barely walk and was clearly in a lot of pain and I was teetering on the unthinkable because I don’t want to watch him suffer. But I happened upon this product, and although not my normal price range, I decided to give it a try. It’s been 2 weeks of 4 tabs a day (oh, and he actually eats them without having to be tricked with some other food around it!) He is now back to just a little stiff, but walking across the yard again for all of his “smells”, hopping back up on the couch (he couldn’t for a while) and today he even had a couple little bouts of a “trot” when he could barely walk himself outside to go to the bathroom just 2 short weeks ago. So if your dog has a joint problem, from age or type of dog he is, or even an injury - grab you a bag and maybe see the same unbelievable results I have. We have tried so many “chews” over his lifetime - most of which he refuses to eat - and had little to no results until NOW

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!

My dog is doing very well on this product. She’s a Goldendoodle, almost 11 years old and plays like a puppy. My only issue is the last bag came with MOSTLY broken or granulated product! Very few whole pieces. I had to guess if I was giving her the right amount. Hoping that was a fluke. We’ll see how the next bag comes. I’ll up date one way or the other. Update: Next bag was perfect! Nice and moist whole pieces, only a few crumbs on the bottom. Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars.

I don’t know if these have helped. I got them for a young rescue gsd who hadn’t gas the best start in life and came to us very underweight. It has given me piece of mind that it’s helping her joints as she grows a bit more and puts the weight on. Update: after a pack, the dog was much less stiff. I didn’t get another and about a year later she started showing signs of stiffness, a bit of a limp after a long sleep etc so got another. Sorted, all limber again so I’m convinced. Changed from 4 to 5 star (just wish they were cheaper!)

My Bernese Mountain dog is 8.5 years old. She got plenty different type supplements recommended by VET in different countries, but none of them were as good as these. The best purchase ever! Nice walks are back on track without any suffer.

Plz make this offline also available in India...it's the best product so far ... I always order from Amazon as it's not available in India

Wir sind von diesem Produkt überzeugt - in einem akuten Fall hat es unserem Hund sehr gut geholfen und die Wirkung hält seither an. Außerdem werden sie gerne gefressen.

Tenemos un Golden Retriever al que, con sólo unos meses de edad, le diagnosticaron displasia severa en los codos y leve en la cadera. Le operaron varias veces e incluso se plantearon la posibilidad de sacrificarla... Hoy tiene ya casi 10 años y corre como si fuese un cachorro aún. De vez en cuando cojea un poco durante unos días pero luego se le vuelve a pasar. Se alimenta desde que se lo detectaron con pienso seco Hill's J/D Reduced Calorie (bajo en calorías porque si engorda sufren las articulaciones) y condroprotectores. Al principio tomaba Sinoquin, luego Cosequin y también Hyaloral. Pasaron unos años y nuestro veterinario nos recomendó probar Glyco Flex III, que era mucho más económico y daba muy buen resultado. Y así ha sido, desde hace años toma media pastilla al día, junto con su J/D y sigue corriendo y haciendo vida normal. Si vemos que hay días que cojea un poco, le damos una pastilla entera. Con 120 pastillas tenemos, más o menos, para 240 días. Por 50-60 euros es un precio bastante bueno... Espero que mi experiencia os sirva de ayuda.
