Petnc Hip & Joint Health Supplement for Dogs (90 Chews), Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Dog Chews with Hyaluronic Acid, Liver Flavored Bone & Joint Support Supplement, For All Breeds

Our dogs thrive, thanks to these chews
My dad has a deep love for German Shepherds. Since he was a kid, he’s rescued several, along with Alaskan Malamutes, and continues to raise Shepherds with so much care. Keeping them healthy and happy is a big priority for our family. We went through a lot of trial and error with joint supplements, trying different brands that either didn’t work well/at all or just weren’t worth the cost. I kept searching and finally struck gold with this one. It’s more affordable, way more effective and best of all, they actually enjoy it.We’ve had four German Shepherds: Bonnie, Cassandra (8), Keanu (7) and Aika (4) along with my Lab/Terrier mix named Migi (10). Bonnie passed at 14, but these chews truly gave her more time with us. She was picky, but she loved these. They’re soft and chewy, which was perfect for her as a senior. She was the sweetest baby and loved to play fetch, always possessive of the stick and never wanting to give it back. Once she started taking these, she went right back to her playful, bright eyed puppy self, moving with ease. We didn’t need to give her Cytopoint or Librela injections anymore, which saved us money and spared her the stress. Most importantly, she was so comfortable and happy in her final years.These dogs act like hyper puppies because these help them stay that way. Migi loves them too, and she is pickier like Bonnie was. All in all, these supplements help keep our dogs healthy, mobile and full of life. They’ve removed the need for any maintenance injections. Plus, the dogs think they’re getting treats, so it’s a win-win. We’re so thankful these chews exist!

inexpensive, basic mobility supplement, more care needs to go into shipping (or container itself)
I haven’t been using these too long. My first container arrived with the top popped off and the plastic film broken- which emptied the contents into the shipping box. I don’t think it is a matter of tampering, but that the small container jostling around in a big box led it to popping off. The plastic film freshness/tamper film is thin and the cup is really just a milk carton style cup, so.. imagine easy to break. What was in the box did seem fresh, so I figured it was popped open during shipment a decided it was worth trying another one. I requested a replacement and got one immediately. Those arrived in good condition.I have been using a different mobility supplement for my two young labs (at the time, 3 years old and 1.5 year) for about a year. It started when my big girl was sometimes favoring a back leg. I immediately set out to trim some weight off and get her started on a supplement. The latter helped almost immediately. We also slowly took some weight off, as weight came off energy and mobility increased. She went from 95 now to 77. I mention this because less weight on joints is going to do wonders. I added in the supplement to support her joints now- and in the future. Using a supplement, especially with big breeds is good to use at any age, in any condition- so I started my young boy on them as well. So while I am not making a switch from the brand we are loyal to, I am ok with giving a couple doses a week with a different brand.Start with the higher dosage, then go to maintenance dose (which is typically halve the starter dose). This is your daily supplement dose. Some companies will say to up it back to starter dose as needed. Consult vet for more advice on that.For us, selecting this item all began when I was running low on our preferred supplement, and needed something to tide us over until the other arrived. I looked for something comparable. When I came across this product, read through dozens of reviews including all of the low rated ones, I decided to give this a try. While it wasn’t my primary concern, I was intrigued that it is about 10x less expensive than what I normally give them; and reviews seemed favorable, or at least not that much different than any other brand I was looking at. All seemed to skew the same- except price. At $7.99 for a dog over 80 lbs, that is 3 chews a day (maintenance). A 90 count container will last 30 days for 1 80+ lb dog. That is .08 cents per chew, so 0.24 cents per day per dog (so for me .48 per day for 2 dogs). With similar math, my others cost 0.81 cents per day per dog, so $1.62 per day. I still feel more comfortable and satisfied with their other brand, but I think now I can add in maybe 2 doses of this per week per dog to change things up. Some similarities in the formula, some differences.Hope this helped. I will make a point to come back here to update if we experience anything out of the ordinary- good or bad. So far so good. My girl likes the flavor, my extra picky boy will get around to it. Neither are used to chicken livers, so that might be their hesitation. I have no idea how many calories are in these as pet food supplements do not have to add that information in (but some do anyway). Since my girl is on a diet, I do prefer to know. These are quite tiny, so I imagine in the 10-13 calorie range at most. I’m not sure if I like that the ingredients might possibly be sourced from China- so keep than in mind when deciding on these. Container says Made in USA, but with “globally sourced” ingredients. I went to their website and found this info in their FAQ section:”Are PetNC Naturals vitamins and supplements manufactured in the US? Answer:Whenever possible, we source raw materials from the USA.

Dog loves these

Great chews which my 12 year old pug loves. A little expensive compared to others but arrived quick and seem to work well.
