VetriScience Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint for Dogs, Chicken, 120ct | Supports Joint Health & Mobility, Vet-formulated w/Glucosamine, MSM, DMG & Green-Lipped Mussel

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.

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.

Seems to be working well with our 9 year old lab. He likes the taste and doesn't seem to be limping as much.

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.

I started giving this to my 10 yr old Kane Corso and within 3-4 days of use, we could see he was clearly able to move easier. He's been on it for about a month now and we’ll definitely be keeping on this going forward.

This an amazing! Very good product for older dogs or dogs that need joint support. Recommend these to everyone

This is the second time we are coming back to this supplement and it’s even better than the first time. We have an 10yo English bulldog who had slowed waaay down and was visibly beginning to struggle and within 3-4 days he already had a pep in his step, which is exactly what we experienced years ago with an 11yo min pin. These really are amazing, totally worth it!

We’ve been happy with this supplement for our dog. The chewable tablets are easy to give, and he takes them without much fuss. It’s hard to measure results overnight with joint supplements, but after using it consistently, he seems to move more comfortably and stays active. I also like that it comes from a brand we’ve trusted for pet products. Overall, a great option if you’re looking to support your dog’s hip and joint health.

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.

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.

Certainly seem to help my 10 year old dog with her mobility. These plus a change in her diet has her moving with no pain now.
