NODENS Cat Hip and Joint Liquid Glucosamine for Cats with Chondroitin

I have a large 12-year-old cat with terrible arthritis in his hind legs. The medication the vet gave us didn't seem to do anything, even after 2 weeks of religiously dosing him twice per day. Before trying this product, Sierra (my cat) almost never came down stairs anymore, had stopped grooming himself (had to get him buzzed due to all the mats, and his intolerance of brushing), and spent nearly every hour of every day curled up under my desk. After 3 days of using this, we noticed Sierra was moving around a bit more. By day 4, he was going up and down the stairs throughout the day. By the end of the first week, he was stretching out instead of curling up to sleep, coming to us for attention, jumping up on our laps, and generally seeming bright-eyed and happy. Two weeks in now, we've finally seen him grooming his hind legs again for the first time in months. That was the ultimate sell for me. I will be reordering monthly, for the rest of his life or as long as this product is available. One note: he wouldn't eat his wetfood when I mixed this in with it, but it's easy enough to give him the 2 mL with a syringe. Also, Sierra has always had a VERY sensitive stomach (most medicines he's had to take throughout his life have made him throw up at least once) but this has NOT made him vomit even once, not even the few times I had to give it to him on a fairly empty stomach. Update: 2 years and it's still probably the closest thing to a miracle we've got for our old boy. The few times I've run out, I've noticed him decline again within a week, and after re-starting him on it, his mobility promptly returns. We have to puree his wet food now and give him vitamin B shots + omega 3 oil; old age has made his stomach extra sensitive- but mixing this joint supplement into the puree is easy and he seems to have developed a taste for it. I feel like the price has gone up but it's still worth every penny. It has definitely prolonged his ability to enjoy life. He climbs to the top of the cat tree every day to bask in the sunny window, and is still the first cat to chase me down the stairs in the morning :,-)

I buy this repeatedly for my cat(s). I used to have 6, but am sadly now down to one. This works great - especially for senior cats. It's clear that they feel better after having it. It's not difficult to administer, and I suspect the taste is pretty good as all the cats I've given it to actually seem to like it, Just dribble it in the mouth with the attached eye dropper. They take it nicely. I definitely noticed a little less stiffness in my cats and a bit more agility.

I have 3 indoor cats, all males. 1 of them is a year and a half old, he is long hair and part maincoon. They are known for hip problems I guess. Since he was a baby he randomly had a limp when playing hard with his other cat brothers. Within the last 3 months he has a Major limp in his left hip/leg. We noticed he only lays on his right side, he plays for a few minutes rough with his brothers and he limps away. If, he jumps off of something over 3 ft high he limps. If, I let him out in the backyard he runs for about 10 feet at full speed and limps badly. I've tried many cat hip/joint foods, natural meds, treats etc. So far, nothing has worked much. Meeko is on this Nodens Cat hip and joint treatment now and it's been 2cc in the morning and 1-2cc in the evening before bed and I have noticed he has not limped hardly at all since day two of using it. He has been on it for a week now. I have changed nothing else, he still plays, he still jumps etc. I have not had time to let him out and run but, I am hoping it has helped that as well. They are indoor cats with a large Catio outside a window so they can go in and out as they please. But, I like to take them out a couple times a month and let them run free on our 1/2 acre yard supervised for about 30 mins. This treatment has definitely made a difference in Meeko's ability to have less pain or to limp less. I do have plans to have an Xray of his hips once I have the final money saved up. I am worried he may need surgery depending on what is actually wrong. I will keep him on this serum for inflammation, pain and general hip health. It seems to really make a difference. :) :)

My 16 year old Maine Coin has been having trouble using the stairs and jumping up or down off of things. He bunny hops down stairs and when jumping off his table in the bay window he would sometimes fall on his side due to his rear legs collapsing. And NEVER touch his hips! He must have a a lot of pain there coz you couldn't pet him or rub all the way to his hips. Once a hand got near his hips He threatened to bite us if we didn't stop. And it's so sad,he no longer was waving his beautiful fluffy tail in the air,It just hung down in moving like it was dead! I bought the Noden's,HOPING it would help,but figured it probably would not do much. George LOVES the flavor and licks it up from the dropper and wants more! After about 8 days he started moving around more and actually jumped into the floor,staying upright! He wasn't begging me to bring his food to him on the table instead of coming down to eat. At around 2 weeks He was walking all around the downstairs and even came upstairs a couple times. I've been giving it to him almost a month now and today we noticed his tail was up! Not all the way,but even with his back,which is a great milestone! He has really started to chirp at us more in happiness and goes out on the screened porch and come to lay on me in the living room again! Seriously,this is AWESOME stuff! I wish it was cheaper,but he is my darling so if it makes him happier and in less pain,well I'm going to buy it for him. We haven't even had it a month yet and he is so much better!

I have used this product now for almost a month. I don't know that I notice any great improvement in my Lilah girl's limping, but... Since moving to an all-indoor environment, she has gained some weight because we don't go outside and walk like she used to at our old apartment. She would walk up and down the sidewalk with the neighbor cats and out in the little yard we had. So her limping - more really it's a wobble-walk side to side a lot like you see in some people when they get overweight - is quite possibly due only to her weight and not a joint pain issue. I've started regulating her food intake, so I'm betting once she loses a pound or two, that will improve. Of course at her age, supplementing with a joint-aid product can't hurt. My Lilah I cannot say she "likes" the taste of this oil, but I will say that she likes it a lot more than the straight omega 3 oil I was using before. To me this product smells like maple syrup, but I checked and there is NO sugar. The one complaint I would have is that the product description says the dropper has markings on the side for dosing. Well, it does BUT they are impossible to read. I used a different dropper with clear markings but to make it easy for anyone who purchases this just know, a full dropper is 1 ml. At my cat's weight, I give her one dropper full in the morning and one at night. I will keep giving this to her although I do wish the price was lower. I have a very, very, very limited income and $30 could buy me a lot of other things.

Holy bejeebus, this stuff is amazing. My 12 year old cat's behavior had changed over the last year or so. She used to jump up on everything, and loved climbing onto my shoulder for affection, but she began exhibiting a reluctance to go to any height, and when she did, her landing as she jumped down wasn't as nimble as it once was, and she completely ceased shoulder-loves. I asked the vet to check her for arthritis, but she's too feisty so they couldn't do the necessary x-rays without putting her under. I decided to find a joint supplement anyway and see how it goes. I was pretty skeptical -- she's a pretty picky eater, so a solid pill was out of the question, and she's too feisty for anything that needs to be administered directly to her mouth, so I needed something tasty and liquid I could mix into her food. I decided this would be best mixed into a smaller portion of her wet food to ensure she actually eats the whole dose, and what do you know, she actually likes it!! First win. I followed the instructions on the bottle and for the first week gave her a double dose (1 dose in the morning, and another in the evening). I noticed an improvement in her within the first day. I was still skeptical-- it had only been a day after all, hardly time to make much difference. But, by the end of the first week, just as others have reported, she was pretty much back to her old energetic self, darting all over the house, jumping into window sills, hanging out on the back of the couch and jumping down without any trouble. Chasing the other cats out of her yard. And all the shoulder-loves a gal and her cat could want. It's been about two weeks now, and she's able to stay awake longer, she's lost a little weight as she's able to get more exercise again (which was really needed), and a weird breathing sound she used to make seems to have also resolved, which was a really unexpected and great side effect (probably a combined result of better cardiac health from exercise, and being able to breathe normally because she's not in such pain). I will definitely be keeping this supplement a permanent fixture in her diet.

I give this to my cat for FIC not for arthritis though she is getting old so that's an added benefit. I read recently a Veterinary study of the benefits of giving cats with FIC glucosamine and it's prevention of flare-ups. I thought it was worth a try as she's been getting worse over the last couple years. She have not had a flare-up since I started her new protocol but it also includes taking any anti-anxiety medication to prevent her body from having those over reactions. That lead to the flare-ups that lead to her being in excruciating pain. I did start this over a month before the anxiety medication and it did not seem to have any negative effects and I thought it was helping but she was not improving so we ended up adding anti-anxiety medication. She is at this point a very happy kitty and does not seem to be in pain anymore which is all as a pet owner you ever want. I bought three bottles so far, it does last quite a long time. I give her one full dropper full a day. I mix it into her can of cat food and each meal she gets part of a dose as a can of cat food last for three meals. Her condition is also aided with allowing her to eat a little bit throughout the day and not all at once. We did all the behavior modification before we added any medications to her diet evenly supplements. We store it in the fridge which I know is one of those questions that I've seen a lot on this product. It was hard to find the particular vitamin she needed in cat safe formula by itself so this has been the best option. She's going to be 14 this year and does have stiffness after laying for long periods of time so taking the other vitamins is not a bad thing for her. She also takes omegas as part of taking care of her condition just in case someone also has a cat with FIC and it's wondering what the rest of the protocol is. Those were also shown in Veterinary studies to Aid in the control of the condition.

To make a long story a tad shorter, my cat had hip surgery at a young age due to a femoral head health issue. The vet told me he could develop arthritis at a younger age because of it and recommended to give him joint supplements early. He is a really picky eater so its been tough finding him a supplement he likes. I ended up coming across this and read the reviews and decided to give it a try. Im not kidding when I say this, its almost a night and day difference. My cat before was always a loveable and happy cat but he doesnt normally jump up on their cat tower or get too adventurous doing that sort of thing. Within just a couple of DAYS of giving him the recommended dosage in his food, I notice hes jumping to the top of the cat tower, and on top of that acts more loveable and seems more happy! Im truly amazed at this product and will absolutely continue to use it. Im so glad I came across it and 100% recommend giving it a try!

It has a strong odour of Soy Sauce. Cat walked away from his food no matter how little i put in his food. Do NOT recommend unless you pet loves the smell of soy sauce. Id give it 0 stars if i could.
