Pet Honesty Hip & Joint Health Soft Chews for Dogs, Joint Supplement with Glucosamine Chondroitin, MSM, Turmeric, Joint Support + Mobility, May Reduce Occasional Discomfort (Chicken 90 Count)

Definitely Helps my Old Man
I have an elderly chow chow who has severe arthritis in both his front and back legs. He has been on meds for years, but a recent rapid decline in his mobility had me desperate to try something…anything…else. We have no ground level exit to the yard, so a lot of days find him on the porch and unable to go down the steps to relieve himself. He refuses to use a ramp and hates harness systems. Obviously this made him very uncomfortable and resulted in quite a few accidents in the house.I thought I would try this product on the “what can it hurt” theory. I gave him his first dose on a Friday night, and the second the following morning. To my amazement, Saturday was the best day he has had in months. He was up and down the steps multiple times all on his own; at least four or five times. Sunday and Monday found him a little less spry, but still far better than he had been. Today he is much improved again; His floofy little face just LOOKS happier.. I never believed there could be an immediate effect, and I am excited to see how he does when he’s been on it for a few weeks.Now for the downside. My dog is a notorious pill spitter-outer. He doesn’t like anything and only has one or two treats he will eat. This is definitely not one of them. I have to place his regular meds in gelatin capsules and ball them up into various food stuffs, each of which only lasts for a week or two before I have to change it around again. If pill spitting was an Olympic sport, we’d have a roomful of gold medals. Anytime a medication promises that dogs love the taste, I laugh until I cry. I frequently wonder how a dog who eats kitty litter can be so finicky.He strongly dislikes the taste/smell (who really knows?) of this product, and surprisingly enough, my German Shepherd isn’t a fan, either. So far I have hidden these in wet dog food or tuna fish, but it’s a battle I don’t think I will be able to win much longer. I will continue inventing new ways to get him to eat these because THEY WORK. If you have a dog who gobbles up everything, no questions asked, these are truly awesome. If you have a picky dog, however, these may not be for him/her unless you are well-versed in hiding things they dislike in a tastier package.I still gave these an overall 5 star because THEY WORK and would be great for feeding to less finicky pups. For the rest of us, grab a hot dog or cheese slice…it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Well worth the effort, though.UPDATED 11/4/21: So good news and bad news. The good news is that the old man started to eat these now on his own, probably about 95% of the time. I just try, and if he won’t eat it, we’re done until the next pill time. But he just started eating them, without being wrapped in anything!! The bad news: the old shepherd who eats them without question has started to throw up after eating them. I changed a few things to make sure these were the problem, and they are. I would still recommend giving them a try; we’re on our second jar now.

Nice looking ingredients.
Purchased to support our puppies, it would be better if the would eat them. PB helps.

2.5 weeks, no more clicking hip!
We’ve tried many different brands and hip/joint supplements for our girl, Bubby but she’s remained in a slow steady decline for the last 2 or 3 years. She’s a Beagle/hound mix, with the boxy body shape – wide hips that make her back end move independently from her front end. She hasn’t ran in over a year, so we get most of her exercise from swimming which is not possible year round here in Ohio.Last year when she developed an audible click in her back left hip the vet prescribed an anti-inflammatory, but that made her act like not herself and she gained so much weight on them I thought they were going to make her worst so we took her off. The only other option is therapies and surgeries, we simply don’t have money for, so we started looking for a higher quality supplement. The reason we tried Pet Honesty Advanced Hip and Joint is because they are one of the only ones that have all the ingredients known to help stop damage, rebuild joints and help with the pain (other than hemp, which we give separately in a liquid) ALL in one chew in the therapeutic strength , AND the feedback is good AND they just look like a better quality product.Within a week we saw her looking and acting more comfortable, in 2 weeks we noticed the click in her hip is gone! And, 17 days later I saw her actually run with the other 2 dogs in the back yard (actually it was a short lived jog, but an improvement!)Maybe it sounds a little commercially or too testimonial, but it’s the only product that has done so much in such a short time. We will be sticking with this one.

Too soon to tell
Too soon to tell really. We are in our second tub. We don’t see any real improvement yet. Dog does like the taste and will take it easily.

My dog, an 8 year old lab/shepherd mix, just loves them! I have seen an increase in her energy levels – she’s fetching sticks and balls like a puppy. She was in pretty good shape before starting this supplement, so hopefully this will be a preventative measure to slow down joint pain and maintain mobility as she ages.She’s been taking these chews for about 3 weeks now. So far, I am very satisfied and sure hope the results continue.

Very bad attitude to send an item with short expiry date and don’t mention!!!
