VetriScience GlycoFlex 3 Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chicken-Flavored Chews with Glucosamine & Green-Lipped Mussel Supplement for Dogs, 120 count

My 12+ year old mutt, Darcy, has been on this product for about 6 years now. She had no specific problems, but I had some on hand for her sister, and when she passed, thought I would continue giving them to Darcy. She eats the treats without any complaints and is able to run, jump and pretty much do anything she wants. The vet said she has some mild arthritis in her back, so I think these help to keep problems at a minimum. She is a trim 36 pounds, that helps too! Her new sister, a chunkier 44 lb mix of beagle, corgi and lab, has also been taking this for about 2 years now. The vet said a couple years ago Emmie has hip dysplasia, but Em doesn't seem to know that. She likes to go running with me, loves to run at the park and does the little dancing doggy thing for her treats (her idea, not mine). My only complaint with this product is there is a very pronounced and yucky smell lately. It never smelled bad before. But the dogs don't mind, maybe it enhances the flavor for them.

We started using these with our older, arthritic dog several years ago. She's gone now, but I think they may have helped take the edge off a bit of her pain. It's so hard to tell if a suppliment like this is working because the change is so gradual. Asisde from the price point for my large dogs, I still believe they provide some value, if only to make me feel like I'm helping to provide some relief from the pain. In that way, I guess they help me as much as my dog. Vet recommended.

My elder miniature schnauzer Cicero will be 15 in December and I'm sure he's developed some arthritis. What dog of that age wouldn't? He tries hard to keep up with his baby brother, 1-1/2 year old Apollo. For the past year we've been giving him Dasuquin, which had a noticeable effect immediately as he began to hop a few running steps trying to catch up to a thrown toy in our yard. As our supply was running low, I decided to try the Glycoflex Stage III - just one chew per day based on his weight of about 17 lbs. The chews are soft, shaped like a small dog bone, and too much for him to handle all in one piece, even though all his teeth are intact. But they're very easy to break cleanly into four smaller bite-sizes for him. We now see noticeably more energy in his ability to run. He still hops like a bunny, but faster and longer, so I think there's really something good going on here. Hoping for long-term results. Also, with 120 chews providing more joint support than the package of 84 Dasuquin, it's also a much better value.

Our rottie was diagnosed with joint dysplagia at 2 years. We always wondered when her limbs would no longer support her as she grew over 100lbs. Because of that, she has been on EVERY supplement for joints that I could get my hands on. I've tried everything on the market to give her more pain-free days. She went over a year without being able to go on walks. Her favorite thing in the world is swimming, so I felt that I owed it to her to just keep trying. About 3 months ago, I bought Glycoflex...moreso for my younger, frisbee catching bulldog. Surprisingly, we have our Rottweiler back! My husband and I cannot believe how transformed Susie is. Her back end no longer shakes when she stands still. She can walk a mile and not lag behind. And she seems REALLY happy! She even jumped up on the bed and is seeking out being petted. It has been years since we have seen her like this. So grateful for this product. She will be on it the rest of her life! XOXO
