Highlighted Reviews

— Eric 3 found helpful

"We've had previous dogs suffer with bad hips and joints later in life... So we made the decision to start preventative treatment early with our 5-year-old lab. These have definitely helped him!"

— Elissah

"We ended up putting our old fella down shortly after buying this, but I only gave him one dose (1 tsp) added to his meal. That was the only meal that he started gagging for a good 20 minutes afterward and this was the only variable."

Bottom Line

This supplement is highly recommended for dogs showing signs of joint issues, despite some users reporting taste issues and occasional adverse reactions.
