20 Best Hip And Joint Supplement For Senior Dogs (2023 Updated)

My senior dog, Patch, is almost 15 and for last year has had trouble getting up and walking up right. He has been on an anti-inflammatory and omega 3 oil and other supplements to help with his joints.

But still continued to struggle. I started him on encore mobility and he has been taking them for 4 months. He gets up easier and some days, we can go for 30 minute walks on level ground. It is a good improvement.

He still gets tired by the end of the day and starts “sagging. ” So, I now divide the dose up to where he gets some in the morning and some in the evening. He’ll never be a pup again, but the quality of his life has gotten 75% better with encore mobility and that makes us both happy.

Golden twins (10 year old) love these!! I have tried two other brands for the past 6 months, wait 1 month and see how they function overall. This is the first time I have noticed they are more perky and playful in the morning (wrestling each other) and less episodes of limping from their hip arthritis.

The hip arthritis medicine from the vet is the dog version of doggy Advil, which they still need a few times a year for flare up. But hopefully this supplement helps long term and less need for doggy Advil.

I had this shipped with a 40 lb dog food and the plastic seal inside was open. I think the weight smushed it because it’s made of paper cup material. Chewy staff is great about replacing the item when I notified them but manufacturing may want to change the package to a flat container instead, sturdier material or ship with bubble or paper wrap around it.

I’ve got a nearly 13 year old Australian shepherd, and for a while, he’s been experiencing the sore hips that accompany old age. I’ve tried giving him a bunch of different brands of glucosamine and chondroitin supplements – chewable tablets, powder, liquid, and none of them had any impact, if only because my dog wouldn’t eat the food I put them in.

He’s ordinarily not finickly at all. But once he detected any of these supplements in his bowl, he went on a hunger strike. A friend suggested I try these Waggedy chews, and despite my skepticism, I bought a bottle.

The effect was immediate and obvious. I’m not kidding when I write that my dog starts getting excited around 6pm every night when he knows it’s dinner time. I put two chews in his food and he nose dives right in with the same voracious appetite of his youth! He absolutely LOVES these chews.

He’s been on these supplements for nearly three months now and while it’s not like these chews are the fountain of youth, I will say he’s not nearly as stiff as he had been pre-Waggedy and we’ve been able to resume walks around the block.

I definitely recommend these Waggedy anti-inflammatory hip and joint chews, especially if your dog has turned his nose up at other supplements.

We used the Glycoflex Plus for several years for our English bulldog. It helped him tremendously and added years of quality life. he had early hip and back issues. After trying several products, this is the only one that gave him his life back.

We now have a 3-year-old Boston Terrier and a 2-year-old French bulldog. We had such good luck with the Glycoflex Plus helping our bulldog that we decided to try this less advanced formula as a preventative type for the younger ones.

Of course they do not need the more advanced plus line yet. I feel like these supplements work and are safe. Just give with food. And don’t give up. It took giving every day and not missing any just like the bag says based on weight.

You start seeing improvements. some probably sooner than others. with our guy, it took several weeks and we never missed a dose after. and saw more and more improvement. Give it a little time. It takes time for joints to break down so of course it will take time to build them back up.

My 8 year old Corgi-GSD mix was developing a limp in her hindquarters, fearful of jumping up on her chair and on our beds. She took to sleeping on her blankets on the floor which didn’t help her pain.

I started her on Glycoflex Classic on the recommendation of our veterinarian. After only 10 days, Lexie is back to lounging on the couch, jumping up on her chair and to my surprise jumping up in my bed in the morning! She spends more time playing fetch and spends more time running on the property! I’ve had to scrap the plan for getting Lexie doggie steps in favor of a new blanket for her to lie on when we’re watching scary programs before bedtime! Lexie doesn’t seem to mind the taste of the tablets.

I split them and toss them into her dinner. She wolfs them down with no hesitation! What a wonderful product!.

Our 1 year old cat had a growth plate injury. After 2 weeks cage rest per vet’s advice there was minimal improvement but there wasn’t much else that could be done. For months our active trouble making cat just laid around all the time.

We could see his hips start sinking in due to muscle atrophy. I figured I’d take a chance on a joint supplement. It certainly wouldn’t make him worse. I’m stunned at the improvement! He’s much more active, back to running around and picking on our other animals.

I did have trouble getting him to eat them after a couple of days. Now I just crumble a couple up and stir in a couple spoonfuls of canned cat food or tuna in with them. Well worth the extra step!.

Honestly, it’s crazy how much these helped my dog and how quickly. My dog had some dry skin which resulted in dandruff and she was shedding an excessive amount. I ordered these and once they came and I gave according to directions, I saw major improvements within 4 or 5 days.

I took off one star because I feel like I got slapped in the face after being so impressed by the price. They were 15 dollars when I ordered which was amazing because the “ZP” brand were $25 for 90 count.

It’s still a better deal ok, I do get it but I specifically thought “they’re gonna jack up the price because of the all-around overpriced brand” though I was hoping to be proven wrong. I’d have been incredibly impressed.

I really liked that I was able to get a set of supplements that complimented each other for my dog. He is a very large Chesapeake Bay Retriever and has bad hips. It was recommended we get a quality supplement for arthritis along with his pain meds.

The pain meds make his coat shed awful. So this was a perfect buy it will support both his needs. He enjoys his “treats”. They didn’t upset his tummy. We started at half of the suggested amount to give his sensitive tummy a chance to get used to something new.

No issues what so ever. I am very happy I bought these.

Hootie is a beach dog. His true joy is running on the beach and diving into the waves. So, when he began limping and having difficulty jumping into and out of the car after every beach romp, we became very concerned.

When this continued for months, we curtailed his beach visits, and eventually just kept him leashed. It was heartbreaking. We began using HappyAgain in hopes that his limping would diminish a little.

Much to our surprise, after his next run on the beach there was NO limping. Likewise, he no longer uses his stairs to enter the car. It’s been a couple of months now and Hoots goes to the beach a few days each week.

He runs and swims to his heart’s content. He’s up the day after the beach, happy and raring to go! No more limping! We are so grateful to HappyBond for returning Hootie to his happy life!.

This is truly the best thing for my baby! He had a number of issues like hip dysplasia, arthritis and Luxating patella and this has improved his ability to walk. I was recommended this product by a family friend who said this really helped his dog with his walking so I decided to give it a try as well.

I pair this with an omega 3 oil in his food and mix it all with goat milk and he eats it right up! He also has hydrotherapy and after a couple weeks I could really see the difference!!! He walks instead of drags his back legs and it was such an improvement that I ended up crying when he started walking instead of dragging his legs.

Honestly pairing this with everything else that I have with my Yoshi has really improved his life and I am forever grateful. I am never without a container of this for my baby.

Happy Bond gave my old dog a much improved life. This dog came to me late in his life. He limped and groaned. He struggled to get up. I saw an ad for Happy Bond and gave it a try. We went on a lot of walks after he started taking it.

He played with the cats. He smiled. Sadly, there’s no cure for old age; he died recently. I am comforted to know that he wasn’t in pain. He never did limp again. He had a good life while he lived with us and I know why.

Happy Bond. I’m sure of it. It made an incredibly noticeable difference for that little guy. Remi. My good dog, Remi. Thank you.

I was so happy to let my dog try the YuMOVE Joint Health Hickory Flavor Large & Giant Breed Soft Chew Dog Supplement, 60 count that I received as part of a free sampling program for my honest review.

This is a truly wonderful product for many reasons. First of all, I really liked giving it to my dog because she seemed to enjoy the flavor and size of the product. It also does not smell as bad or feel as greasy as other products like this that we have tried in the past.

Secondly, I was really impressed with the quality of the ingredients used in this product. It not only contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin but it also contains Omega 3 from Green Lipped Mussels. I have a large, 10-year-old German Shepherd who was starting to show little signs of movement problems.

I could tell she was getting a bit stiff as she was getting up and down. After giving her these chews, I could see a big difference in the ease of her getting up and down. I have been pleasantly surprised by this product and it is now a permanent part of her daily routine.

I have already recommended this product to my friends and family and totally recommend this product to anyone looking for a great product to help with the joint health of their dog.

I got these free as part of a sample program in exchange for my honest review. I began giving them to my two vizslas (4 and 8 years old) on 2/11/22. I wasn’t consistent in the beginning because I wound up sick for two weeks but I haven’t missed a day since.

We noticed big results about two weeks ago around 3/19/22. Our 8yr old dog has had issues with his rear leg for four years and while he still runs like crazy he stopped sitting properly and wasn’t “cornering” like he used to when he ran.

In fact when he chases our younger dog he’d chase her only so far, then wait for her to do a circle of the house and then continue to chase her without following her clear around the house. Now we’ve noticed him cornering like he did before his leg bothered him and she’s trying to catch him – he’s running clear around the house with HER in pursuit – and she’s very fast.

He’s also jumping up on us more again when he’s excited – which isn’t necessarily a good thing but it’s good to see him back to his young self. They both readily eat these supplements even though they just look like pills – they gobble them up.

My 8yr old dog likes them so much that the first time I gave them to him he later went up on the counter and took the container down to try to open it (see chew marks in photo). Luckily he didn’t succeed and now I keep them safely in a cupboard.

These don’t have too strong of an odor. I don’t notice it. I am VERY happy with the results and I’m so glad we received these to try. We will definitely continue to buy them for our dogs.

I’ve like that ingredients come from the United States and Canada. My 85 lb. Plot Hound (Buddy) likes the taste of theses chews. I like that all the ingredients aide in hip and joint health. Plot Hounds can suffer from hip dysplasia.

Hopefully these will help in the offset of this. He’s a active 4 year old and I want him to stay that way. He has no stomach upset or loose bowels. I have given him some other supplements that didn’t agree with his system.

He moves with vim and vigor!!! Added plus is his coat is nice and shiny.

It took me a little extra time to decide whether Zesty Paws calming bites did as they claimed to do. I have 5 fur babies and gave this product to 3 of them on most occasions. On a few occasions the 13-week-old puppies got one as well but not for them to calm down but because they took it out of my hand before I could give it to my bigger puppies.

First opinion on product- Zesty Paws calming bites are the cutest and most wonderful smelling bites. They are shaped like hearts, look like dusted chocolate and smell like peanut butter. My puppies loved them.

I even enjoyed opening the jar because of the fabulous aroma. These as a regular treat without the calming effect would be wonderful as well. I provided Zesty Paws Calming Bites to my 3 dogs- August, Beagle, 13 months- Quinlan, Boxer/lab mix, 7 months- Chewy, Pomeranian, 11 years.

My puppies are very busy and rambunction fur babies who ram and tear all day and sometimes, all night. I gave them each 2 of the calming bites around 7pm and I noticed by around 8pm that they would start to settle down and life would get quiet in our home.

Chewy did not need one as he is a quiet dog as well, but I did not want him to feel left out so he would get a half of a heart shaped bite. The more often I gave them to the puppies, the longer it took for them to work, hence, the longer time in writing my review.

It finally got to where I would give the bites to the puppies between 5 and 6 so I could get them calmed down and settled between 8 and 9 pm. Most nights they slept until my alarm went off at 5 am. and I was very appreciated of this.

I have not tried other products like this before, but I have given the puppies vet prescribed trazodone and I believe that the calming bites worked better once the puppies laid down. They stayed asleep longer with the calming bites.

If you have active puppies or dogs, I do recommend giving these calming bites a try. I will definitely be purchasing them. ***I was given a free sample to try in return for my honest opinion of the product.

IšverstiShow in original languageThese chews were such a life saver! I have a pitbull mix, and my poor doggy was struggling with his skin allergies. Endless itching in between his paws and all over his body.

His coat and skin were dry and flaky, and nothing but redness peeked through. He started having patches on his coat where he started losing his hair. I tried allergy and soothing shampoos that contained oatmeal, tea trea oil & lavender.

I also applied coconut oil and aloe vera topically and that seemed to help with the itching but it wasn’t getting any better. I read that it’s best to treat the allergies from the inside out and decided to give these a try.

I barely started using them, it hasn’t been a whole month. And I have thankfully seen so much improvement, I started giving my dog the chews last week on Sept 22, the itching stopped for the most part and his missing patches of hair are almost all grown in again.

His coat looks so much better and healthier, doesn’t look dry anymore and the redness is barely there. Overall these worked for my doggy, no more itching. I learned that pitbulls tend to suffer from skin allergies and have sensitive skin.

Well atleast that’s what my vet told me, so if your dog is struggling with skin allergies, I highly recommend giving these chews a try. I do want to note, that I have two dogs. With one my doodle mix I always struggle with giving her anything, she’s super picky with medicine or treats that have strong smells.

Thankfully my pittie eats everything, the strong smell from these chews didn’t stop him from eating them. They do have a fish scent because of the salmon oil in them, not saying these should stop you from giving them a try but just something to note for those who have picky fur babies.

IšverstiShow in original languageFirst of all I want to say schnauzers are schnauzers. They are barkers. My pup Jarvis is a loud one and “talks” a lot. I have tried many ways to help him stay calm and bark more quietly.

He is anxious about every person and dog outside of the house. He does not only bark to protect himself but also cries and whimpers. I got this supplement around 2 weeks ago. And here is my review: Best/funny part: – The treat itself he loves it.

It is his daily treat. He eats it in 1 second barely even chew it – When I first opened the container, I kid you not I thought it smelled like chocolate. The smell is pungent to my sister. But I could smell the “bacon” after a few days The work in progress part: – After using it daily for almost two weeks, I don’t really see a difference.

But I will keep using until the jar is empty and see if there is any difference. I was not disappointed because I used so many ways (trainings, treats, playing, headband…) none of it worked. I am still hopeful that this supplement can help Jarvis eventually.

– Jarvis still cries and whimpers when he feels insecure. The video I am putting with the review is when he took the supplement at least 30 minutes before we went out for a walk and he saw a person far away from us.

I have to carry him instead of letting him walk because he couldn’t focus on my commands and barks so loud. Needless to say, I am glad this supplement helped a lot of dogs and dog parents. I hope it will do the same to us soon.

IšverstiShow in original languageBack in October we adopted a 4-month-old rescue puppy (Lab mix) who, while sweet as sugar, had/has a medical issue that prevented us from enrolling her in “Puppy Kindergarten” as we’d planned.

As with a lot of rescue pups, she also has strong separation anxiety issues & timidity/fear of a lot of everyday stuff. While our vet did give us a prescription for a mild sedative, I haven’t yet filled it, & after seeing a few tv commercials for this company & reading a lot of reviews, decided to give their “Calming” product a try.

She’s a solid 40# now, but I first only gave her one chew just to make sure she wasn’t allergic to any of the ingredients. No reactions, so the following day I gave her two & what a difference!! This product does NOT zonk the dog out at all – she behaves normally, but just with some of the lunatic edge taken off.

We don’t give it to her every day, as she’s not a nut every day, but it definitely helps for those times when she seems overly anxious or crazy, & will be a big help until we are finally able to get her into socialization opportunities & obedience classes.

Bottom Line: While I obviously wish the product was a little less expensive, I do understand that you get what you pay for as far as quality, & natural ingredients are always (for whatever reason) more expensive than synthetics.

My 16 1/2 year old Shih Tzu has kidney disease in addition to losing body mass. He’s bowlegged from probable arthritis. The little guy has a lot of issues but he still has an appetite and remains social.

BUT the only improvement has come after I started him on this joint and hip supplement. Before these chews, which he loves, he would not walk across the street for a little walk to do his business. Now he walks and prances like a happy dog! I chose this supplement for 2 reasons: Made in America and not the most or least expensive.

To be honest, I don’t do detailed research and comparisons on anything for me or my dogs, another Shih Tzu Hunter who turned 10 years old this week. But I did hit a winner with this supplement. Sidney was also a certified therapy dog who made lots of patients and staff love his visits.

My dog Rugar is 19 years old. For a German Shepard thats way old, and has some walking issues. I have been giving Rugar this Hip and Joint Advanced plus Omega for about a year, give or take a month or two.

I think it helps him move around with out pain. He still has hip issues as most all German Shepherd do. He may have some problems more so because he is an old dog. I can’t take him to a vet to have him go to sleep, (euthanized).

As long as I make things comfortable for him. I will let him live out his life. After all how much longer can Rugar live? Thank you for the online app to buy pet foods Chewy.

I’ve been using this for my dog since he was 7. I noticed he was favoring 1of his back legs and he had no injury. I felt it was his time for a supplement and it worked great. He is now almost 13. He has been off them twice for testing of other conditions and the favoring came back.

After he went back on it those times it was gone. An added bonus was he loved it like it was a treat.

We’ve been looking for a product that can help our old labrador retriever. She’s 12 years old and definitely feeling it. She’s having a tough time getting up so we knew we needed to try something for her joints.

We’ve been trying these pills for a couple weeks now and they seem to be helping. I wouldn’t say its an overnight difference, but she is groaning less and most importantly, its easy to give to her. We just pop a couple pills in with her food and she eats them right up.

No cheese or peanut butter needed. sometimes she eats them straight. We’ll stick with the pills to see if her progress continues to improve.

I’ve been purchasing these for my senior dog for over a year. I don’t know why but the last bottle that I received my dog does not want to eat the treats. I have to trick her into eating them when she loved them before.

I’m thinking the manufacturer either changed something or I received a bad bottle?.

I have been giving this to my 15 yr old dachshund for several weeks now and I have noticed a slight improvement in his walk. He used to have trouble getting up the step into the house but he can do it a little easier now.

I like that it contains glucosamine and chondroitin which is good for his achy little body. It also has vit. C which is also very good for him. The pills are flavored, but are a bit large so I have to break them up for him.

He is missing a few teeth so it is a little harder to chew the pills.

I’ve been giving my 8 yo Boxer this product for a few months now and she has been transformed. Boxers are known for hip and joint issues. This was my Boxer Baby and I hated seeing her in such pain. She would walk around kind of slow.

Had difficulty getting up out of her bed or jumping onto the bed or couch. Especially after giving birth three years ago. She wasn’t interested in playing with one of her sons that I kept. He wanted to play and she was just not able to.

Or because she’s a crazy Boxer she desired to, she’s get into it and would slow dow or stop all together. I could tell she was struggling. I tried some other product but that was a bust. But that’s a thing of the past.

Now they are running around the backyard together playing. She’s like a young thing again. Her and her son are enjoying each other like never before. She’s jumping on the bed and couch. Playing with their Ron of toys.

Thank you I got my baby back.

Been using Cosequin for about three years now for my 14–year-old poodle mix. Started with the capsules but since my dog doesn’t eat wet dog food every day I had to get creative to find food to mix the capsules in.

I then switched to the wafers which were fine at first but they became very hard for her to eat with missing and old teeth. I started cutting them with a pill cutter but they are hard as rock and almost broke the pill cutter.

Now I’m trying these and they STINK horribly. My dog who will eat just about anything won’t come near these. I mean they really stink – like a dirty fish tank. I’ll keep using Cosequin in some form as I know it works great but I’m very disappointed in these chews.

I’m buying some dog food toppers hoping I can cover the taste and smell.

About 60 years of dog ownership here. dogs age, we can’t stop it but we might improve their quality of life. In the last 20 years I’ve got more fanatical about keeping an eye on our dogs weight and activity levels.

We started use the pill version of cosequin many years ago and I think it definitely improves mobility in older dogs or dogs with previous injuries. My German Shepherd Loki is coming up on 12 years old and is in very good shape for his age.

He still loves to have tennis balls shot out in the yard for chasing. A month or so ago I noticed some stiffeness/carrying of one of his rear legs. I immediately put him on these chewables. I would say he is at least about 90% again in that leg.

I bought this for my 8 year old lab mix who wasn’t able to sleep through the night bc of her arthritis. She had also stopped having much of an appetite. I usually feed her blue buffalo senior and went on a trip and couldn’t find it so had to go with a different brand that wasn’t as good.

Little did I know she would get really inflamed, so not doing that again. The white willow bark was suggested to me by a chiropractor for myself and I thought I might try it on my dog. She is feeling much better after taking this for about two weeks.

I noticed that it relieved her pain right away, but it’s taken a couple weeks of suppressing the inflammation to see her fully recovered. She plays with her balls again and is eating again. When you pet her you can tell her body is less tense and she sleeps fully through the night.

I forgot to give it to her one night and she was up and down all night so can confirm- it does make a difference.

At first, my finicky cat didn’t want anything to do with these. I broke it into quarters to release the smell. Nothing. I thought she might gobble them up. Luckily, she likes treats and knows the word “treat.

” Another day, I tried sliding the pieces across the tile floor–one at a time–for her to chase and eat, as she does with her treats. Nope, didn’t fall for it. The next day I slid about six little treats across the floor–one at a time–followed by pieces of the tablet.

She sniffed at one, then walked away. I continued different days, skipping a few days to entice her desire for treats. She finally ate them! I continued other days and gave her fewer real treats until all I offered were the vitamin pieces, and she ate them like treats! Now, I don’t give her regular treats at all, just the vitamin tablet.

I only break it in half, and sometimes don’t even break it just to give her a challenge or change. She thinks it’s a real treat and comes when I say the word “treat. ” I offer it to her before every meal (3 a day).

She even licks up the crumbs off the floor–and that’s not like her to do. I also call her special apple-cider-vinegar-drinking-water a “treat. ” I put a small bowl of water mixed with a dash of apple cider vinegar next to her regular drinking water and she sometimes drinks it.

Better than nothing. I don’t know if it was these tablets, or the combination of Purina Pro Plan canned cat food for UTI, plus some drops that were the solution to her UTI, but I didn’t have to take her to the vet.

Initially, her coat had become dull, she was shedding a lot, plus going in and out of the litter box all day and night, continually. I finally caught-on that she was having a problem because of cat litter all over the floor, plus little bits of urine all over in the litter box.

I thought she was being weird or “marking” the litter box, but it was signs of a UTI. She was also meowing a lot, which was unlike her, and becoming cuddly. I guess she was in pain and I thought she was just being needy and cuddly.

;/ She’s better now and I give her one or two tablets a day. I will continue these tablets another month just to make sure something isn’t lingering, and to keep some on-hand.

I got this for my dog who was experiencing pain. I know the pain was caused by playing with my other dog. I was specifically looking for a product with white willow bark and this product does contain white willow bark plus more helpful ingredients.

I wanted a safe and natural product. After 30 minutes of administering his pain was relieved and after using it twice a day for several days, he was pain free. I will make sure to include this in my dog’s first aid kit.

I will also share my positive experience on social media.

Both dogs love these. Just give to them and they are gone. My babies have a horrible problem with stomach issues, after using this got better poops and didn’t feel like stomach bothering him. Good stuff for doggy babies!!.

I wanted to try something new for my dog and bought these. Let me tell you, INSTANT CATCH! My dog can’t get enough of these. loves the taste, smell, lets see how his immune system gets better now! Recommended 100%.

I just started using this product. The pumpkin and duck is a good choice, and my dogs eat it. Of course, I am hoping for better health in the long run. The consistency is nice, not gummy, but soft. probably good for a dog with tooth issues.

I have been giving this to my pit/mastiff 10 year old mix breed for a month now and he has shown much improvement. He was starting to slow down and not move so well. He wasn’t able to roll over anymore.

He now willingly rolls over and is running in the yard again.

My Golden Retriever has arthritis in his hips. He was at the point where he was hurting when he would try to get up or lie down. He didn’t want to go on walks anymore. I started him on Advanced Hip and Joint along with taking him to the vet.

The combination of Advanced Hip and Joint plus the medication the vet gave him has my dog walking and swimming every day. He’s 12 years old so not running and jumping like a puppy, but he’s enjoying short walks and swimming.

My dog is very picky with food and treats. I saw these were bacon flavor so I thought he would eat them. I’ve tried to break the treats up in food and bury it in the food. He still will not eat them.

So now I have another jar of joint supplements my dog won’t eat. I was hoping these would work.

I have been giving this to my 3 dogs for several years now, so I invested in a big tub. As with any joint supplement, I did not notice a change right away. So, I gave it at least a month or two before deciding if it was worthy to continue.

This one works. I have 2 Labs and a Boxer Terrier mix all that have had issues with knee and or hip issues. My dogs must be able to do stairs where I live, and, I have learned over the years that stairs are not good on dog joints.

I already have a Lab with repair of ACL to both hind legs, and have come close to the other two dogs needing joint surgery. Since being on this, the mobility of all 3 dogs have greatly improved preventing the need for surgery.

This supplement contains all the nutrients I look for – glucosamine, MSM, Boswellia, turmeric, vitamin D, and vitamin C – all of which I feel help promote joint health. I believe that this has helped my dogs return to normal activity and will continue to use this as part of their daily regimen.

Either mixed with their food or given separately, all 3 take this without problem.

I have 2 small dogs 14 lbs & 24 lbs and these chews are huge. I have to cut them into quarters for my little one and in half for the slightly bigger pup. The dosage actually says to give the large one less frequently for the smaller dogs but I’ll never keep track of that! plus the treats are really too large when full size for my smaller dog to chew.

In addition, my pug mix turns his nose up and practically spits these out unless I dust them with freeze dried liver crumbs. Previously I bought another brand which was smaller (and according to my dog Max tasted better) so I could give 1 treat to my little guy and 2 to my 24 lb dog.

Makes more sense to give multiple treats than have to cut them into pieces!.

We got these for both our Dogs, Coco and Malachi. They are 13yrs old and the Vet recommended getting them something for their joint health. Coco loves them paws down she gets 2 a day. But Malachi turns his nose up to them everytime.

We even tried breaking them up in his food. Ha ha he wouldn’t eat. They seem moist at first but when we broke them up in his food they are actually dry and crumbly. We use wet food on top of their dry and these chew soak up every bit of the wet food.

Malachi won’t have anything to do with them. I will say we have friends who recommended these also and their dogs love them. I guess it’s all in what your dog likes.
