VetPro Dog Hip and Joint Supplement – Pain and Inflammation Relief Chews with Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Turmeric, Vitamin C, Omega 3 – Treats Hip Dysplasia, Arthritis – Dogs Chewable Supplements

They are working for all three of our dogs!
Wow, in a word, just wow! We have three small dogs. We have a Shih Tzu, a Morkie and a Yorkie. The Morkie and Yorkie have both been diagnosed with a luxating patella, which is very common in small dogs. The surgeries themselves will be quite expensive if we end up going there. I really thought we were going to have no choice until our dogs started taking these. It took one week maybe 10 days to really start seeing change. Our little Morkie girl came home from our pupsitter‘s house limping. She was in a very bad way. We don’t just run to the vet. But she was in pain. We waited, hoping she would start getting some relief naturally. Her sister, the Yorkie, was diagnosed with luxating patella about 1 1/2 years ago. So we are not unfamiliar with the symptoms, and how it CAN clear itself up if the dog is babied somewhat. We hoped our Morkie would get better. We kept her quiet. We held her everywhere we went. We stopped taking walks with her. In short, her life became very sedate boring and for a dog who loves to run and chase everything that moves I would say pretty unhappy. Our vet suggested glucosamine/chondroitin chews. I did my research and decided to try it with absolutely no hope of relief for either dog. Also we are trying to prevent Bella (the Shih Tzu) from developing this problem. She has incredibly short legs of course. This is common in dogs with short legs. The chances that all 3 of our pups will eventually end up with this problem are very high. I wanted to get Bella on some kind of regimen to prevent this from happening to her. And since she is the laziest dog in the world and is apparently allergic to all forms of exercise I’m not terribly worried about her developing a luxating ANYTHING! But I figured let’s make it a family affair. They can all pop their glucosamine chondroitin chews at the same time. It did not take long. The results have been nothing less than impressive. Mercedes (Morkie) stopped limping completely. She doesn’t appear to have any pain at all. Raven (Yorkie) has also been relieved of her pain. And Bella is as active as she ever was before 🙄 If you are looking at the cost of these and saying to yourself, that seems expensive. Consider the alternative. We only know that this is less expensive than l/p surgery x2! Oh and they really like the taste. We tried the chicken flavored chews. They gobble them right up. I also wait until they’re hungry and just before I feed them I offer these. They all think it’s a treat.

Glad I got these
I have a 120 pound 4 year old male Doberman. He is a VERY active and energetic boy who takes his play time seriously. He has always been a bit reckless with himself. He runs hard, trips over his own feet, he’s a bit crazy lol. Over the last year we have noticed him slowing down. It takes less and less play to wear him out. Sometimes he gets slow when walking and grumbles when he lays down or climbs up onto furniture. His vet recommended we start a supplement to help support his hips and joints to keep him going.I looked into a lot of different ones and tried to read negative reviews to really see. I am really glad I got this one despite some of the negative reviews. We have been giving them for a little over a week and I really can see a difference already. He seems a year younger during play time again.Negative 1: people complained about them blobbing together. Ours came good but they are soft chews and I can see where ordering them in the summer months might be an issue. When ordering, I’ll keep that in mind. They are little soft chews. Even sitting on the counter they stick together. I shake the jar before opening and they are fine (but it’s winter).Negative 2: some complain that the smell is awful and their dog won’t touch them. There is a smell. BUT in my opinion it’s not strong or bad. They smell like dog treats to me. My dog gobbles them right up. He seems to love them.Negative 3. This was the big one for me! Some reviews state their dogs had gotten diarrhea or otherwise sick. My boy has a very sensitive belly. Thankfully, these haven’t bothered him at all. This is dog specific though. My dog needs four a day. The first day I only did one. Second and third day 2, and then on day four we started the whole dose (4 for him, 2 am and 2 pm). He didn’t have issues but other dogs might. I would recommend starting low if you try these just to be sure.Negative 4. The price. For me it’s going to be $40 a month for what dosage my boy needs. This is kinda pricy and sucks. However these have all the ingredients I was hoping for for my boy. Especially the anti inflammatory (this really made a quick noticeable difference in my opinion). I think the price is worth it in my case (maybe not everyone’s) my pup seems much more comfortable and energetic. And as a bonus, he gets excited to eat them. It’s nice to give a med to him that I don’t have to disguise in something else haha, that’s never fun.Overall very happy that I went with these ones and hope we continue to have good results.
