20 Best Joint Supplements For Cats (2023 Updated)

I’d like to preface this by saying my cat has been overweight her entire life and it has been an ongoing weight loss battle, and came to me front declawed. So I was well aware that she’d already be at very high risk for arthritis so she’d already been on cosequin for a number of years before I switched to dasuquin, boy do I wish I’d done it sooner.

My 14 year old 15 pound cat needed to be redirected to her stairs numerous times because she just felt GOOD. She had jumped on my bed TWICE. That hadn’t happened in years and years. For her the switch was absolutely necessary and I’m so glad I made it.

Although my cat was a pain about eating the chewables at first she eventually got over it and eats them fine now, and I’ve got the sprinkle capsules for next time. :).

My cat has been using the capsule version of Dasuquin for a couple years. I was mixing it into her wet food, but a lot of times she leaves food behind because she doesn’t like the taste. Because she’s super picky, I assumed she wouldn’t like these chews.

To my surprise, she loves them! She has no teeth, so I break up the chew into 4 pieces and she has no problem gobbling them down. So thankful that the chew version is available! When she takes this supplement, her limp disappears, so I’m glad it’s making her more comfortable.

Please never stop selling these!! Dasuquin works best for my cat who’s a tripod, and its such a hassle having to mix the capsules into his food every day. The treats make it so much easier, and he gets so excited for them every day! My cat is food motivated so it might not work for every cat, but if your cat likes treats then they will most likely like these.

They are about the size of a piece of kibble and are semi-firm but soft. As long as you seal the bag properly they won’t get hard or stale.

My male cat is 15 now & we need to get him some joint support going. Trying to find him something he’ll eat has been, well, a pain in the food bowl. These looked promising but bc they are a chicken flavor, that meant you could only have that favor of wet food to put them in AND would have to feed him that wet food every day.

Not for my big guy. He likes variety and he picked it out right away that we put it in there if it wasn’t mixed up really well. Not worth it if we can’t mix it in anything he likes. Stuck w just one kind of wet food? Who wants that? Good product? Maybe it would’ve worked.

Just wasn’t able to get that far. Now he’s on palliative care bc we’ve found out he has cancer, bad osteoarthritis and other health issues. Still needs that sort of supplements but we’re making sure it’s something he’ll enjoy in his final time here with us.

Thanks Chewy for always being great about the refunds.

My youngest cat that I just adopted was diagnosed by the vet with having a luxated patella which concerned me greatly I was looking very long term as to what this is going to be when she is much older.

My vet didn’t want to do surgery just yet because she isn’t even a year old yet so he told me to try this and to see if I see any results. Well is has been 2 weeks, 2 WEEKS! and I hardly notice that knee cap popping in and out anymore.

She runs, plays and jumps down off of the highest places she can find! I know I was supposed to keep her from doing that the best I could but we all know how kittens are it’s darn near impossible unless you lock them in a crate which is not happening.

So I completely and absolutely recommend this product it works complete wonders and the cats can be on it long term. Once again thank you chewy for bringing yet another great product into my life and improving my kitty’s life!.

I have 4 senior rescue cats, oldest is 15, the others are 12, and two 9-year old sisters. I’ve been giving the oldest Cosequin for 3-4 yrs now per the Vets suggestion, because she stopped jumping up on the bed, & also was very grouchy.

She now acts like a kitten when she’s had her dose, zooming around & jumping wherever she wants. I have since started the 12 yr old on it, & then the other day, one of the 9 yr olds was limping slightly, (she probly landed wrong or something).

I started giving it to her a couple months ago & the limp is gone. I can’t say enough good things about it! I’m seriously considering starting myself on human glucosamine/chondroitin supplements for my own arthritis! Other ppl I’ve talked to swear by it.

Lol.

My 18yr-old cat dislocated her back leg and ended up with serious joint damage. She absolutely would not take her pain meds no matter what/how. After ditching the pain pills and starting Cosequin, I immediately started noticing improvements in mobility.

Recovery was still long, but she has since lost her limp and is back to her old self. I have kept it a permanent part of her daily “treat”. She absolutely loves the flavor and knows when it’s “time” for her treat, meowing and scratching until she gets her Cosequin (I mix it with a bit of the Churu puree).

It has definitely been effective and made a difference. 100% absolutely recommend.

Our 17-year-old arthritic cat, Drew, began struggling to jump up on things, was moving more slowly, and was noticeably uncomfortable. We bought pet stairs because she couldn’t get onto the couch without our help.

We tried a few different other non-prescription things that were supposed to help with arthritis/stiffness. Most things we could not get her to take and, if we could get her to take something, it did not help.

Then I found Liquid-Vet. To be honest, we had tried so many things already I really did not have high hopes for Liquid-Vet. First, I ordered the “flavorless”, wholeheartedly believing she would take one sniff and walk away (we mix this and all of the others we tried in her wet food).

Shockingly, she had no issue with it. What was even more shocking is that it helped! She can hop up onto the couch and the kitchen chairs again. More importantly, she doesn’t have that pained look on her face anymore.

We tried the chicken flavor after using the flavorless for about a year, and she LOVES it.

I tried different hip and joint supplements for my 8 yr old lab/pit mix. He had hurt both his hind legs and he couldn’t walk for a week. After we nursed his sprains, he was left with an awful limping on both legs.

He was sore and did not want to walk very far. I saw this product and decided to give it a chance, what else did i have to lose bit more money down the drain. I bought the Liquid Vet for the hips and joints and after a week, I saw a definite improvement on his walking.

He was still limping bit not as bad. After the second week, it was even better. He only had minimal limping in one hind leg. I am going on the 4th week and his improvement has been great. He climbs up and down the stairs much better and is getting out of his bed without pain.

This is the first product that has done what it claims to do. I will continue to purchase Liquid Vet as long as it continues improving my boys hip and joint health. I recommend this product and I am happy that I finally found something worth buying.

Liquid Vet Products Company, I wanted to Thank You for making an amazing product for my furry friends. Dolly is 13. 6 year old black pug and Kenzie is an 11. 3 year old tri-color beagle. Both of them LOVE the additional flavoring of Liquid-Vet poured over their dinner with the added delight of Pot Roast BEEF Flavoring! Dolly has hip dysplasia and I’ve noticed that she walks better even after 2 short weeks.

Both Dolly and Kenzie have also experienced a higher gloss to their beautiful fur coats. I hope to continue seeing improvements for ALL furry friends and You and Your Company, as well! Thanks a million for having a Company that I can trust made in the Great USA! Gratefully yours, Charyl15B, Dolly & Kenzie P.

S. I hope that you will come out with a chicken or poultry flavoring soon!.

So I tried two other supplements and my cat wouldn’t eat the chewables nor her food if I sprinkled the capsule contents over it. Katelyn G, customer service at Chewy, sent me a very nice email, recommended this odorless, tasteless, liquid supplement, and also told me I would be receiving a refund for both of the supplements I had purchased.

She asked if I could, donate the unused/remaining supplements to a local shelter. A great idea!! Liquid-Vet Hip & Joint Supplement is AWESOME! I just measure out the recommended amount in the marked cap, pour it on, and Leana Beans doesn’t mind it at all! Oh! and there was also an included note from the creator of this supplement asking for reviews/comments to be sent to him to help improve his product.

I liked that as it shows an interest in connecting with the consumers directly in order to improve the product.

I purchased this kidney liquid gold for my dog Lucas back in February. Lucas had stage 2 kidney disease and was diagnosed in October he would be healthy for a month and then have really almost end of life moments for about 5 days so we would try pedialyte, probiotics appetite stimulants because he wouldn’t want to eat and was really depressed he was urinating and Drinking a lot of water so I was extremely attentive of him and then he would bounce back about a week later.

Lucas also had heart disease and had been taking medication for about almost 2 years. My Lucas was 17 years old and the last 6 months were a roller coaster with his health but he kept fighting he was so strong and I kept helping him with everything from medication to food and anything he wanted or needed to be comfortable.

When I recieve the liquid gold Lucas was having a terrible week, he was eating small bits of food a day he wasn’t drinking alot of water anymore and he was completely refusing his medicine we had to shove it in his mouth but he was refusing to continue to live.

I knew his kidney disease had progressed but it was in a matter of 2 weeks that Lucas lost all his weight and then the last 5 days he refused everything I even had to feed him with a syringe some soup of chicken I had made to get something in his belly.

I bought the drops I payed expedited shipping and gave him the drops for about 2 days after reading such amazing reviews and similar symptoms other pets were experiencing. Previous to buying the drops I had controlled and changed his meals and just took his health day by day to make him as happy and comfortable as I could because I knew my time with Lucas was nearing.

At this point his kidney disease and heart failure had reached its limit and my Lucas was just really tired and old. Lucas passed on 2/20/2022 he barked randomly all night and we went to him every single time to give him love and attention.

He took one deep breath in my sisters arms at 7:35 am and his beautiful soul left his sick and tired body. ❤️ What comes after this is the reason why I am mainly writing this review, as I didn’t get to truly experience the liquid gold I’m sure it would’ve worked if I found it sooner or his kidney disease didn’t progress so fast but I have to understand that Lucas was 17 and he fought so hard every time on his own to continue living watching him loose his eyesight amongst many other things and still being brave to continue his daily routine was something I will never forget and truly amazing to witness and be part of loving someone so much.

I eventually reached out to customer care to see if I could return the product to them because I didn’t want it to go to waste and truly rather have another pet use it since it was basically brand new.

I explained to them what had happened and they told me they would process a refund and I didn’t have to return it to them. This was so kind of them and I thanked them because they really didn’t have to do this but it goes to show what kind of ethics they have within their company.

About 2 weeks later I just received a beautiful card from pet well being about my loss and it really made me feel so special and truly the best customer experience I’ve ever received. I just want to say thank you! Loosing Lucas has been really hard but watching him suffer and be so not himself anymore was definitely harder to watch and for my angel to go through that it wasn’t fair to him he was the best companion and friend in my life.

He will always be and he is missed every day my house is so lonely and quiet. Lucas is now with my dad and his cousin oso who passed when he was 13. I know my Lucas is happy and young again❤️ Thank you again at everyone at pet well-being!!.

My big gentle boy had stopped eating and he wasn’t drinking much he was sleeping a lot and very lethargic. He was diagnosed with early stage kidney disease 😞 the vet suggested I move him to a kidney diet.

Of course he hated it and wouldn’t touch it. I trawled the internet and came across this site and the Kidney Support Gold, after reading all the positive reviews I ordered a bottle. Sadly he wouldn’t touch it,I think it was the strong bacon smell that put him off.

He was hardly eating anything and another trip to the vets showed he had lost quite a bit of weight, the vet gave him medication to help his nausea and appetite and said that if he didn’t perk up he would have to go in for a scan on his other organs.

This worried me because he gets very stressed at the vets. I don’t know how it happened but I came across some Webbox Lick-e-Lix chicken yogurt paste thing. I popped some in a dish not expecting much and he slurped it up within seconds 😳 I added the drops to the paste and again he slurped the lot 😃 I have nice little routine now, he has his drops on his paste in a morning followed by 2 small pouches of Sheba cat food and 15g of biscuits.

He has some more drops on paste at around 7-7. 30pm and he has some more wet food and then I leave his dish out overnight with a fresh pouch in which has usually disappeared by the morning. He’s having around 200 cals a day which is right for his weight and size.

I can tell he’s put the weight back on that he had lost. He’s not drinking from his fountain but he’s not dehydrated due to the moisture in his wet food. ( he used to predominantly eat biscuits before ) He’s more or less back to his normal self, he’s eating and playing just liked he used to I have my Louie back The vet said him eating the kidney food is the best scenario but him eating any food is better than none so at the moment after a lot of trial and error and lots of money spent on vet bills and different foods I think we have a good routine as long as he keeps slurping the drops.

They have without a doubt helped him and I will carry on giving them to him. He’s due another blood test at the end of October so I am hoping it shows that the disease hasn’t got any worse. Please don’t ever stop making this x.

our beloved 13-year-old longhair developed megacolon 6 months ago. she had a 5-day hospital stay, we nearly lost her, it was awful. it’s been a very tricky and emotional time trying to medically manage her and she just hasn’t been herself.

I’ve been trying to find the magical combination of meds and supplements for her, it’s a long road but adding this product has brought noticeable relief. We’ve tried miralax, different types of fiber, lactulose, probiotics, CBD, prescription fiber foods.

we’ve tried everything for her. Cisapride and psyllium has helped the most along with the probiotics and CBD, but I suspect the prescribed cisapride gives her stomach cramps and psyllium makes her bloated and she stops eating after having a very tiny amount for a few days.

She is VERY finicky and picky and there is no way to manually medicate her without us both hating each other, so this product was tricky to get into her at first. I initially gave up, but got creative in the last few weeks.

and I’ve seen such a great change in her since. the two big things is that she’s eating more and sleeping more comfortably, and I believe this is helping her colon health in general. I write a long review because navigating her condition has been so frustrating and I hope to just be able to help someone else that is reading.

to give the drops to her, I fill two #5 gelatin capsules (3 drops each), split a pill pocket in half and wrap up the capsules. I THEN roll the treats in nutritional yeast to make them irresistible for her, she won’t really go for the pill pockets on their own.

I’ve been able to give them to her every day for almost 3 weeks! what I noticed is that it keeps her colon lubricated, and her poop is wetter on the outside. it doesn’t help with the actual stool softness, so her stool is still on the hard side and I am working on that.

I have a feeling that she is tolerating psyllium better when paired with these drops, but time will tell. If your kitty is beside herself because of constipation, this is really worth a try! this won’t be a complete solution for megacolon but is great when paired with other remedies.

My cat Onyx is 8. He had a soft tissue injury earlier this year and his tail was sort of limp after. Went to the vet and had x-rays done where we saw he had the early stages of arthritis in his back and hip.

Vet gave me a long-term pain medication and recommended looking into a joint supplement. I had been giving him the pain meds for a couple weeks with no improvement or change. Then I decided to buy this supplement to add to his food.

Within a week of starting the supplement, his tail was working again! He has not used the pain meds for over a month now, and he is back to running, climbing, and jumping again. I am so happy with this product.

Onyx loves the flavor of it (he is normally super picky), no stomach problems, and the price is great!.

The drops work. I saw an immediate difference in how my 14 year old cat was moving. But had to give her the drops directly, she would not eat the drops I put on her food. So it works great but the smell is god awful.

It’s so overpowering it stunk up my apartment. The bottle accidentally spilled and I had to clean with an all purpose spray and light a candle just to get the smell out. Even had to take out the trash because the smell was permeating from the paper towels I cleaned the mess up with.

Going to try and find a less smelly supplement.

My sweet 24 yr old blind and almost deaf cat has been really slowing down. I could tell that he was suffering from joint discomfort. Just 4 days of giving him Joint Purr-Fection and there was a visible change in his movement.

After 3 weeks, his movement is much more fluid and he actually stretches when he wakes up. He can once again jump up into his favorite napping spot. Lots of purring going on now when I rub and brush him.

Best of all he loves the taste of the supplement!.

This is the second order of this product. Our Pomeranian has hip problems and hops around on three legs sometimes but since we have been giving her this for over a month now she doesn’t do it near as often.

We have tried other products and this one seems to help the most. I saw it listed as the number one product for this and it seems to help a lot.

My 15 yr old cat had started limping and creeping slowly up the steps. The vet recommended glucosamine, but she wouldn’t eat the treats. Another reviewer recommended this liquid version. My cat is too finicky to eat it mixed with her food, so I took the suggestion to just apply it directly on her fur.

She would them then proceed to clean herself, ingesting the medicine. Within a few days she was running up the stairs again. I don’t remember to apply it daily, but she does not limp as long as I dose her evey other day.

This will also help this small bottle to last longer. I will definitely buy this again.

After doing some research I wanted to get a supplement for my senior dog. This was recommended by The BK Shop. The bottle is way larger than I expected. Think big Hydroflask/Yeti water bottle sized. I think it’s worth the price and he doesn’t mind this in his food.

I haven’t been using this long enough to see any differences in his joints but if I can update this later I will. The ingredients are common in hip and joint supplements and at higher concentrations so I expect this to last a while!.

My extremely picky 9 year old Yorkie will not take any of the joint supplements that my other senior dogs take which are recommended by the vet. She will spit out every chewable, even if hidden in food.

At her checkup, the vet said that she really needs to start up on something and the chicken glucosamine joint treats that she will eat are probably not getting the benefits to her joints. Thank goodness for this liquid Glucosamine from Paramount Pet Health! I can squirt a dose in her mouth before we go downstairs for breakfast and she won’t hate me.

While she doesn’t enjoy it or accept it readily, she will tolerate it. I test tasted it and it’s not horrible. We will continue to use this for little miss picky!.

I hope this is helpful. I’ve been giving my pet Hip and Joint Support for about a month now and I’m extremely happy with the results. When she was first diagnosed with arthritis, we tried everything from vegetables to vets but nothing worked.

It was just too painful for her to walk, never mind run around the yard like she used to – until we found this! What a blessing!.

I have a 10-year-old Labrador. She has always had digestive problems since she was a puppy. We’ve tried different foods, digestive supplements, and even different medications with no success. Recently my mom told me about these digestive support drops and I thought it couldn’t hurt to try them with her usual diet of wet food plus some dry kibble.

Of course, they are the answer, because of course my mom was right.

Maddie is my 5-year-old Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She’s always had digestive issues that came and went through the years. I tried giving her this supplement, and she has been doing so much better! It’s just amazing how this natural supplement has made such a difference to my pup!.

I see some negative reviews and I’m wondering if they’re really giving the right amount for the size of the dog! I have a 10-year-old Plott hound With hip and spinal injuries. She’s been on this for three months.

After about 30 days even the women I walk with in the morning noticed a big difference. She loves her, walks and visiting all her friends two legged and four-legged in the neighborhood. I had to stop about three months ago because she was just in so much pain.

Restarted back up walking a month ago and she’s doing great and she is a happy pup at 10 years old to be able to go to the neighbors and say hi. I would recommend this product, and I have already to any of my friends and family.

Sidenote, please read the directions and make sure you’re giving the dog the correct amount for their body weight.

My 8 month old CH kitty LOVES these treats. they’re chewier and a little gummier than most treats, so it takes him a little longer to eat them, but that doesn’t stop him. They can also be easily cut into smaller pieces with a butter knife, or broken apart with your fingers.

—————————————————————————————-Because of his condition, he has an unsteady gait, falls down a lot, and has poor motor control especially with his hind legs. So he definitely has stiffness in his joints from all of his tumbles and bad landings.

i know arthritis and hip problems are in his future, and wanted to get ahead of it. We’ve been giving him 2 of these a day for almost a month and he definitely seems less stiff when he walks and “jumps”.

(He sort of “kangaroo” hops onto and off of furniture). He seems to be sticking his landings a little better too. I know that as he is growing , getting stronger, and is adapting, he can control the way his body moves a bit better due to building muscle, but it does seem like these treats help him with some of the joint soreness/stiffness at the very least.

——————————————————————————————there was a 1 week period when we stopped giving him any supplements (including these treats ) because they were being treated for giardia and worms and had runny stool (they came to use very sick and are on the mend) , and during that time he seemed to start getting more stiff again, but then we started it back up and he’s a little more limber now.

It could be a coincidence, but i think it’s worth mentioning. ———————————————————————————————-my vet did say that cosequin can actually cause constipation in cats, so it’s something to be mindful of.

————————————————————————————-In addition to their dry food We feed our young cats wet food 2x a day and add spring water to their food for added moisture, and we have the drinkwell fountain (the one with the ceramic ball), which has been a huge game changer in getting them to drink water, so constipation has not been an issue for us as of now.

————————————————————————————————While i can’t say for certain that this stuff truly works since i’m using it as more of a preventative, it does seem to work , and Spock loves these treats right now, so i’m giving it 4 stars.

My 5 year old cat fractured her hip 4 years ago. She healed but started limping really bad a last month so I took her to my vet. Now she has Arthritis in her hip and joints. He gave me Nutramax Cosequin Soft Chews and said to give her 2 each day.

She is walking much better and doing great, jumping off furniture again. I will have to give these to her for rest of her life but she loves them, thank goodness. My 11 year old cat also has Arthritis from aging, and my vet said to give her 2 Cosequin Soft Chews very day also.

Can’t hurt, it will only help with her Arthritis. They have to take 2 each day because both cats are over 10lbs. My 5 year old is 20lbs. and my 11 year old is 19lbs. Also, if they dont want to eat them at first, my vet gave me a bag of Greenies Feline Pill Pockets to put the Nutramax Cosequin Chews in to offer to my cats.

I tried that too, but both cats like the Cosequin chews without the Pill Pockets. I do break the Chews in half to chew better, when I give them the chews. They love them, thinks they are treats.

I bought these for the oldest of my three cats, who seemed to be jumping less and having more trouble getting around as of late. It hasn’t really been long enough to know how well they work, but he does seem to be more comfortable since we started these.

Though it hasn’t been long enough to gauge full efficacy, I can say that the taste and texture is a huge hit! My old man gets the full 2 chews per day and the younger two get a half dose so they don’t feel left out.

All three of them go crazy when I shake the bag and have not gotten tired of them yet, which happens all to often with other chewy treats I’ve tried. The consistency is also much softer and chewier than some of the other ones I’ve tried, which makes it easier for my old boy to eat as he had some teeth removed a couple of years ago.

I’ve already reordered this item and plan to continue giving them daily.

I have had my senior cat on Yumove for about 2 years now and shes like a kitten again. If your cat has arthritis then this is a Must for every cat. Yumove also do dog tablets which worked Wonders on my then senior dog.

100% Highly Recommended Yumove.

I have two cats, neither paid any attention to the caps so I smeared bovril on them then one cat licked them. Once he got the idea he licked them until they were gone which only took a few hours. They had no smell at all so I wasn’t surprised they were not interested in them.

I was expecting them to be more “natural” I have no idea what they are made of but looked and felt very synthetic. As one cat did use them, I have given 3 stars but I won’t be buying them again. They were very small, about the size of a large grape, so I felt poor value.

The sticky bit on the back did adhere well to both the wall and the floor. They are individually wrapped.

I bought YuMOVE ADVANCE for Cats for my 12yr old male cat. I purchased it from www. blackcatmedicines. com directly, but paid through “Amazon Payments,” on www. blackcatmedicines. com as I have got an Amazon account and Black Cat Medicines sell products on Amazon.

co. uk. This also gave me extra reassurance. Item was received without any problems. First time I have used www. blackcatmedicines. com, and I was quite impressed with the service. As my 12yr old cat is quite old now, he has developed Arthritis in his joints.

His general walking is fine. When walking up the stairs though in our house, he had started limping and it was bit of a struggle for him. Since giving him YuMOVE ADVANCE for Cats, I have noticed a difference, whereby when he is walking up the stairs the limp doesn’t seem to be there or isn’t as pronounced or noticeable, and he is more comfortable when walking up the stairs.

This is the second pack of YuMOVE ADVANCE for Cats he is on, the first pack we bought from Amazon. co. uk. These supplements seemed to have helped my cat. Please follow the instructions. To see reviews on this product you can go to Amazon.
