Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Chews, GlycoFlex Glucosamine and Green-Lipped Mussel Joint Support Supplement for Cats, Promote Mobility and Soothe Joint Discomfort, Chicken, 60 Count

My very fat 15yo cat managed to get himself hung up on something & ended up tearing a tendon in his leg. Our normal vet was out of town so we had to see the temp vet. She said that the kitty was going to need expensive surgery. Especially because his wt & age would make it very unlikely that it would heal on its own. We were given an antiinflammatory & something for his pain, to try for a wk or 2 & then come in for a recheck. So kitty was avoiding walking & had severe limp when he did walk. He couldn't jump @ all & could not do stairs. He was very obviously in severe pain & just miserable. It was awful! I hate it when my babies aren't well & I can't do anything. So we went to the follow up appt (our normal vet was back). Our vet likes to treat conservatively first. He said surgery would be tough on kitty due to his age & wt, it could be risky. He gave us GlucoFlex & said we'd give it some time & see what happened. WOW!!! After 3 months he was so much better. It is now about 2yrs later & he is doing wonderfully! He didn't just recover from the torn tendon, he has improved in every way to better than he was before he got hurt!!! He has no limp. He is jumping higher & more frequently. He is seeking out the dog for wrestling matches, etc. GlycoFlex reversed the clock - took 5 yrs off his age. Since we had such good results w/kitty, we decided to try the GlycoFlex for dogs for our 15yo Chihuahua. He has bad knees & back problems. He had been on another glycogen supplement for yrs, w/out much affect. After several months on GlycoFlex, he is racing around like he's half his age!!! He is now able to jump up on the couch again. He's pouncy & playful. This stuff truly works wonders!

I waited a few weeks after administering this to my cat in order to provide a clear and useful review. My 14 year old toothless cat Teddy loves these (thank goodness!) and now comes running when he hears the bag being picked up. I cut the treat into about 9 small slices and he gobbles them right down. His younger sister (3 yrs old) always comes running at that time and wants some too, so I end up giving her something else more age appropriate for her. They both wolf their treats down and are happy, and so am I! As to the efficacy of this product for my 14 year old cat, previously he was getting stiff and groaning whenever he would get up and also whenever I would pick him up. He walked with very stiff legs. He also sometimes missed when jumping up from the floor to the couch, and pretty much stayed in one place all day. I've been giving him one treat daily (he's 9 pounds) and after a week or so, he stopped groaning when getting up from a nap or when we picked him up. He hasn't missed on a jump from the floor to the couch since about the second week, and is walking less stiffly. He's a Persian and a very, very laid back cat who was never one for running much, or doing anything particularly energetic. But the other day I heard cat feet galloping in from the kitchen to the living room (we have wood floors) where I was sitting. I assumed it was my younger cat but no, it was my 14 year old who ran into the room! Of course he laid right down and went to sleep (as he does) but it made me happy to see this improvement. My vet also is familiar with these and says she has seen good results in other cats. I will continue giving these to him as they seem to work pretty well and I am grateful for the improvement and obvious lessening of pain for him!

It's hard to find pain management for cats,l (either prescription or not.) Glucosamine/Chondroitin and MSM supplements seems to help with arthritis longer-term, but I discovered that a good Omega-3 supplement really help more immediately with my own arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and inflammatory issues, so I searched for a good one for my cat who is getting older and our northern winter's really effect us all. So I did my research and have this a shot. This formula really does good for him. We tried the lower/medium dose version which did seem to help, but as winter came along we switched to the higher dose. It really does help - you can see it in how he walks, plays and the look on his eyes (less pain, more "himself.") The only issue I have is that even keeping the zip lock top sealed, they tend to try out pretty quickly if you don't use them in the directed amount if time. They're still usable, but I break them in half and squish it a bit to make it softer for him. But it's worth it for the difference it makes in his pain and comfort level. I'm told there are other good brands out there and may experiment with them, but I like the ingredient list in this one and how well it works. Even my cat realizes the difference and now "asks" for his medicine in the morning... If you're looking for a good Omega-3/anti-inflammatory supplement for a cat, I highly recommend. And no, I was never paid nor did I receive anything free for this evaluation.

My cats like the taste and will eat it without hesitation. Been using for years with no issues. The price has been going up too much lately and I may have to reconsider continuing with auto ship.

Good product and service

I ordered this for my 18 year old cat that is having trouble jumping up and down from couches and beds. After a week and a half she jumped up on the bed without having to ask. I honestly think she was a little depressed at losing her independence and I believe her mood has returned to normal. Partly because she is more comfortable and able to go where she wants. I am so happy. Are you sure humans can't use as well?

While I don't love the price, my cat is so much better after she started getting these every day. She tries to tear my hand off to get at them so no issues with flavour for her, and she's much more comfortable. She's back to grooming her back, where she has arthritis, and her limp is barely noticeable. Definitely recommend, I'll be on the lookout for a cheaper source though.

My cat is in way less pain, shes more agile and a lot more loving. I'm very happy with these treats, I've tried other brands but shes a picky eater and will refuse to eat them, but she loves the flavour and texture of these ones. I need to break these into smaller pieces for her to eat but she loves the taste ***these treats have gone up $15 dollars in the last year and a half I've had her on them, its very disappointing and has stopped me from ordering them in the past.

J'ai utilisé ce produit pour mon chat de 16 ans qui avait de plus en plus de difficulté à se déplacer. Il avait de la difficulté à se maintenir sur ses pattes arrière, il ballottait allant même jusqu'à basculer. Après trois semaines à donner ce produit à double doses, j'ai remarqué une faible amélioration. Le produit est dispendieux, j'ai donc choisi de donner un autre supplément à la place, qui est de la poudre de moule à lèvres vertes pure mélangée à sa nourriture. Le résultat après une semaine est le suivant; la démarche de mon chat est améliorée de 85%. Jour après jour je remarque une grande amélioration, il marchera parfaitement dans peu de temps j'en suis certaine. En espérant que ce commentaire puisse vous aider.
