Petlab Co. Joint Care Chews for Dogs - High Levels of Glucosamine, Green Lipped Mussels, Omega 3 and Turmeric - Hip and Joint Supplement for Dogs to Actively Support Mobility, Packaging May Vary

I've reviewed this product before and wanted to give an update but I can't find my original review... I have a 12 year old pug she has ivdd (invertebrate disc disease)... Surgery is usually recommended but due to other medical issues surgery isnt an option for her... she is happy and healthy and didnt seem to be in pain and i refused to give up on her and put her down...i honestly thought she wasn't going to make it a year after being diagnosed but here we are over a year later and shes doing amazing...before I started giving this to her she could barely move but I noticed a huge difference in her within 3 days of her taking these.. she was able to stand on her own and was finally mobile... I fully understood that this wasn't going to be a magic pill and she will never be 100% normal again... it has been about 4 months since she's started taking this... with these vitamins and the physical therapy I do for her she is doing absolutely amazing!! She stands straight on her own and she is able to run around and she's fast!! (She's still very wobbly and does fall occasionally) she's about 70% better she can run up and down her ramp to the couch on her own now, in the bath she has stood on her hind legs a few times which is massive improvement .... there has been times when amazon was late delivering my package and she went a few days without her vitamins and I noticed a decline in her mobility... again I want to reiterate it's not a magic pill don't expect it to be but in my experience it's an amazing product and definitely worth every cent

We started giving these to our 14-year-old dog because he was having trouble getting up and his legs would shake. After just a short time on these, we saw a huge difference! He’s able to get up more easily now and even plays and chases our 2-year-old dog around. So happy we found this — it’s made such a positive change in his mobility and quality of life.

These work wonderfully for my 9 year old female pit mix. I always recommend them to others, but since the change in product packaging we either run out before our next delivery by almost a week or the jar is full of crumbled pieces at the bottom. I have been ordering this supplement for almost a year now. She takes one a day and there used to be enough for even a few days after the next jar arrived. Otherwise it’s a great product and my dog uses eager for her morning “cookie vitamin.”

It seems to help my dog with his bad knee

My dog is about 13, and she’s been showing her age this last year more and more with each passing day. We got a new puppy hoping to help reenergize her, but she was disinterested in everything but avoiding her. I saw an ad for this with videos of dogs who seemed completely transformed, so I figured I’d try it. Within a couple of hours after her first one she was able to use the stairs again. After three days she started playing with the puppy. Two weeks later she’s running and her ears are perky and playful. She rolls around on the ground with her new sister and played with the sprinkler today for close to an hour. My sister’s dog is also aging and recently developed a limp. The vet said they thought it was an ACL, but I watched her squat without issue. Her movements looked hip related, but it had been going on for so long that I couldn’t tell which was the sore spot and which was from compensating. (I know I had a foot injury that lead to hip pain, which lead to lower back pain, etc, so I assume it can be the same for them.). This is a bit expensive for her to simply experiment with, so I ordered a new one for my dog and gave her the rest of what he had in the other. It’s been about five or six days and I went over to see her dog walking without a limp on all four paws. She stills seems a bit tentative like either she’s sore or she’s afraid that rough activity will be too much for her, but the difference is amazing. Her vet was talking surgery! I don’t know about dogs bodies, or arthritis or any of that. I’m not a vet. I’m just a guy who loves my dogs and always gets very sad when they get to that age where things wind down. I watched as my own parents had aches and pains and moved less and less which caused things to stiffen and weaken which caused it to hurt more to move which made them stay still, and on and on. Aging is such a vicious cycle. I don’t even know what this stuff does really, but I can tell you the effects have been obvious. On day two or three she seemed stiff in the morning and I felt bad for taking so long to give her one, but now she either seems to have it built up in her system or perhaps all her new activity has started to loosen her up and strengthen her, and she even wakes up more energetic. I know it can seem pricey, but if you can try it for a month i think it’s a cheaper way than expensive medicines, treatments, and surgeries. Definitely worth it.

My 6 year old black lab loves them had no issues eating them right up. The only thing that held me back from purchasing again was the amount I had to give my dog per day. Because Hank my lab is a big boy has to have 3 a day.

This stuff is amazing! We’re on our 3rd container now and my 12 year old dog is running around like a puppy again! She also has completely stopped biting her paws since taking this!

My dogs are on their 4th jar now, and I do believe it is very helpful. One of my dogs (12 years old, shepherd malamute) has bad arthritis in her hind legs. The other is a 10+ year old beagle who has somewhat of a limp when he walks. Lucy, the older dog, has seen an increase in mobility so much so that she gets herself up on the couch which she hadn't done in about 6 months. You've seen film clips showing dogs bounding about after they've been on the joint care chews, and we did have one of those moments! About 3 weeks after we started, Lucy went running after a cat. I hadn't seen her run in a long time. The other thing I've noticed with her is that she has an easier time getting up and done. Prior she would either stay down on the ground and not get up for anything- or she would pace and stand. Obviously getting up and down was very painful. She gets up when I get home, she gets up when someone is at the door, so I know she is feeling better. As for the beagle, I have noticed less of a limp, but he wasn't really in a bad way, so hopefully this is slowing the aging process for his joints somewhat. Lucy was on expensive anti-inflammatory meds, which affected her appetite and she threw up occasionally. I no longer give her that every day, rather when she seems to be in pain, sometimes after a sunny day longer walk. The chews aren't cheap, but much cheaper than the other medication. I know eventually Lucy will suffer too much and we'll need to make that decision. However, I do believe that these chews are giving her a good quality of life right now. I'm sure it doesn't work for every dog, just like any medication doesn't work for everyone. I would recommend giving it a try for 3 jars, and don't expect your dog to turn into a bounding puppy again. They get old, it is so hard to watch, and all we can do is try to make their lives as posh as possible!!!
