"My older dogs like this and best of all, it works. 13 year old basset was feeling his age but with Once A Day Hip and Joint he runs and goes up and down steps at a good pace. Will continue to use it."

β€” Monks

"They were very hard which I did not expect. Which kind of concerned me because my dog did not chew them so well. Wish they were a bit softer like dental bones ."

Bottom Line

Great for joint and dental support overall, good quality chews, and price.
