Hip and Joint Supplement with Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM for Dogs and Cats, Duck Flavor, 160 Chews

I wasn't expecting much from this little bag of what looked like moist cat treats but felt if our 17yr. old Angel (a 9lb. pure white alley cat) would feel less like sleeping all day & night it'd be worth a few bucks to find out. I know it's hard to tell with cats how they're actually feeling because they tend to hide their pain & illnesses from their pet parents. Fast forward a month after starting these tasty little chews twice a day and our little Angel has turned into a bit of a devil! She still sleeps a lot, like most cats, but nothing like before. Yesterday I saw her stealthily creep up on Felix, our big 9 yr. old tuxedo (23lbs!) and proceed to do a foot-high aerial jump right onto our sleeping giant - who definitely wasn't asleep after Angel came thiiisss close to landing smack on him. What followed was a (perfectly normal) cat play fight in which she truly held her own. She stole a scruffy pad out of the bathroom and proceeded to turn it into 'enemy #1'. I'd bought her a wind-up mouse a few months ago which she had been ignoring. All of a sudden she was going after it like she was 10 yrs. younger, pouncing & chasing the mouse before having to surrender it to our third cat, Cammie, a svelte 9yr. old 11 lb. tortoise. They had a quick tussle over the toy - something we'd hadn't seen in years - before Angel gave it up. She's also staying awake to watch TV in my husband's lap (she likes Westerns, of all things!). All told this is probably THE best money I've ever spent on a pet, both in value and in results. I plan to order (a lot) more of this Pet Natural Hip and Joint chews for all 3 of my fur babies, though I may regret it later when they're all acting like kittens! LOL Whatever magic is in these chews works!!! In less than a month we have a much younger cat, activity wise. Her appetite has returned & she's gained almost 1/2 lb. since starting these chews. ( I don't think this would happen with every cat, but in this case our Angel had been barely eating even when tempted by canned cat food. Shortly after starting these Pet Natural Hip+Joint chews we noticed she was the first one to come running for 'food call' . She stayed longer & ate more, becoming both the first to come & last to leave every feeding.) That big wind-up mouse suddenly appeals to the hunter in her. As previously mentioned, Angel is 17 yrs. old and is in good health. She's never been to a vet since she was spayed by the shelter (since our 3 cats are 100% indoors & they're all healthy we've never seen the need for traipsing them off to the vet, which is stressful on them). We're hoping these chews will keep our already long-lived kitties alive & active for some years to come. I've owned cats for over 50 years along with a few wonderful dogs so I feel comfortable recommending these Pet Natural Hip and Joint chews to any pet parent with an older cat. You needn't wait for your fur baby to exhibit signs of joint or other issues before starting these chews: I wish I had found them years ago for our aging princess (who is at this minute sitting on my lap with one paw on my computer as if she was typing in her own story!). She might have been spared a lot of discomfort in her old age.

We rescue dogs, primarily older dogs, but all have been neglected, dumped or even severely abused. This product helps bring their digestion and elimination into balance. It sometimes takes a few months, depending on the level of neglect, age of the dog, and any illnesses they may be going through at the time. A few have never recovered optimum balance and this product still really helps as we tweak the diet in other ways to help them gain as much normal function as possible.

My ONLY issue with this product is that the company seems to be suffering from false product advertisement. The fact is that we DEPEND on the container having at the VERY least around 154 to 158 chews. We have 4 dogs that take them, two large dogs and two small. I buy one container and it SHOULD last around 30 days because of the doses they all get. The problem is that the two containers we've gotten from our Subscribe & Save orders since we switched over to this brand have had NOWHERE near the 160 mark! The first container we got had only 136 chews. This last one was even worse with a mere 127 chews. That's two months of one of our small dogs not being able to take the much-needed medications/treats as it should, simply because Pet Naturals brand aren't fulfilling the quantity they are supposed to be. The worst part is of this issue is the fact that these are great for my dogs. They seem to work quite a bit better than the ones we were previously using. The dogs are definitely walking around and seem to have less pain after a couple of weeks of taking these. However, unless the company does something about this completely incorrect quantity issue, we're going to have to switch over to a different brand again. I don't know what else we can do, because we can't afford to buy another container of it each month, simply because the quantity is falsely advertised.

My 18 and 1/2-year-old cat loves these easy chewable joint supplements! These were vet recommended also!

My cat hates them, she is the least picky animal I’ve ever had. she took the treat from my hand and spit it out across my bed. She is now completely unwilling to even touch it. Also they are unreturnable/non refundable so I’m stuck with them. I definitely didn’t see that listed anywhere when they recommended these treats as a replacement for the usual treats that were out of stock. Do not buy!

In summary: I'm pretty sure they work well and quick, but my cat will no longer eat them so I think they must taste pretty bad. So I decided to try these for my older kitty since I noticed him not being as active as he used to be. He would also meow after jumping off higher ledges sometimes. The package said you can give 4 treats for the first 4 weeks, but I thought that was excessive so I only started out with the recommend 2. The first day went great, he absolutely loved them. The second day was about the same, except he took a little bit longer to eat them. After the 3rd day I could only get him to eat one, but it seemed like he was already being a little more active surprisingly. By the 4th day I had to smoosh a half of one around a Temptations treat to get him to eat it, but he did finish 2 this way. By 5th day I could only get him to eat one full treat. We skipped day 6 and 7 to see if a break would help but the 8th day he wouldn't even touch them even mixed with the temptations or anything else for that matter. It seems like he is actually more active and doesn't cry out as much when he jumps from high places, it's only every once in a while now. I didn't think we'd be able to notice a difference as quickly as we did. It's not a complete 180, but still noticeable. However, he no longer will touch them no matter what I put them in/mix them with. He's not a picky eater either, he usually eats anything. So thats why the 3 stars, they seem like they do work, but im guessing they must taste terrible. So they're kind of pointless if I can't get him to eat it. I also tried giving a piece of one to my other cat who almost eats anything just to see and he bit into it but spit it right out. In my pics I used a Temptation treat to show the size comparison. They're a bit bigger and thicker than the Tempations. The Pet Naturals are soft, not crunchy at all and they're easy to mold into a different shape if needed or rip apart. I've opened the package a little over a week ago and the treats are still pretty soft. They do have a resealable bag which I've been keeping them closed after every use. Obviously, I won't be buying these again unfortunately and we have half of a bag left that will go to waste as none of my cats will eat these. They seemed good while it lasted, but it didn't last too long sadly. Be careful trying these, especially if your cat is picky.

The first two batches my cat gobbled up the next he wasn’t excited. After reading the reviews, I tried a second bag which he had no interest in. I almost gave up, but had ordered one more bag because our little old man (17) was so enthusiastic about them before and seemed to be struggling a bit more but refused to eat the anymore. After a month or two we’d been feeding him regular treats in exchange for daily brushing and I thought let me try these again. He refused the open package treats. In exasperation I tried the one last new package fearing I’d have to toss them but he devoured them. He’s been demanding them ever since. So I think these work and taste good, but sometimes there’s a bad batch. I even offered him one more from the bad batch and my cat refused and devoured the new batch treat. So not sure what that’s about…product, mixing issues, shipping/storage???? I couldn’t tell the difference but my cat sure could. But I’m grateful my cat knows what’s good! And he’s a fan of these when they’re good.

We like other products this company makes for pets, so we decided to get the Hip and Joint supplement. Our 5yr. old cat darted out the door on the fourth of July, re: fireworks. He was gone 11 days😿 and had never been outside. When his adventure was over, he decided to come home. We noticed his gait was off when he walked & he wasn't jumping up on his cat tree. Vet checked him over, wanted to put him on a med that possibly had side affects. We choose to go a different route & continue to observe, so we purchased this Hip and Joint supplement. It was amazing how quickly this supplement worked for our beloved cat because we thought any results would take up to 2-3 weeks. Within 3 Days he was walking better & jumped on the cat tree without hesitation. Now he's back to his regular daily activities thanks to this product!!! We now give him a H&J chew as needed. He's still a youngster & to date he's made no attempt to dart out the door for more adventures.😻
