Soft Chews Hip and Joint Support Supplement for Dogs for Medium Dogs – 60 Count By Virbac

Works really well
I have a 15 year old mix breed dog with slipped discs and pinched nerves. She has spindly legs and slips easily but also moves very stiffly when she’s in pain. After discussing that the Duramaxx pain meds weren’t enough anymore, the vet offered this or other pain meds.I decided to go this route instead. Within about 4 days I started to see a difference in the fluidity of her movement and now a month in, she’s jumping, running and playing like she’s 10 years younger! She loves the flavor and it’s easy for her to chew.

So far, I’m Impressed
I’ve got an 8 year-old boxer that has always been very active. As he’s gotten older, he still thinks he’s a puppy and still plays hard, regardless of the consequences. I’ve noticed him being stiff when he wakes up more and more often, and it’s not uncommon to see him walk with a limp after playing really hard. He does daycare a his vet’s office five or six days per week while I’m at work so he’s always on the move.I decided to look for a joint supplement and two things really drew me to trying Movoflex. First, it seems like a good product that vets recommend. I actually ran across it as a recommendation on PetMD, and then started looking for other references to it. Everything I found was positive. The second, but no less important factor was that it seems to be well-tolerated by picky eaters. You can stick a pill in a whole hotdog and Brody will eat the hotdog, then spit the pill out. He’s not having it. He will turn his nose up at anything he thinks is medicine. So I bought this product knowing I may be wasting $60, but it was worth a try.On the latter point, thankfully, he really, really likes these. He gets mad if I forget to put it in his food bowl in the morning and starts sniffing around the table looking for it. It smells pretty bad to me, but it doesn’t linger after he eats it, and dogs do like smelly stuff. One down. As for effectiveness, he’s been on it for a few weeks now, and I have noticed he doesn’t seem stiff at all when he gets up. He also hasn’t limped since a few days in. So it does appear to be having a positive effect. The only negative I can think of is that his stool did get a little soft for a few days, and that could be from the slight change to his diet, or it could have just been something unrelated. It’s been back to normal since then, though.I wouldn’t say it’s been a night and day change in him, because again, he has always had high energy. His stiffness was relatively minor to begin with. But so far it does appear to be working, and I’ll take that. If he’s feeling good, I’m feeling good. Hopefully, this will help keep him happy and active for many years to come.

He can’t stand up without them.
I really cringe on the cost of these. This is why they aren’t getting a 5 star. My boy is pretty much dependant on them. He’s a malamute mix, so carrying him isnt possible. He’s been on them for probably a year now. Originally saw a huge improvement in his “get up and go” within 2 days. I tried taking him off them and replacing with something else but the five days he was off it, he got worse and worse. So, started him back on it and within 2 days he can get himself up and outside. He very willingly and easily eats them. Wish they weren’t so expensive. He’s on a cocktail of supplements. I’ll try weaning him off the others now. He’s happy and really eats well.

Joint health greatly improved
Recommended by my Veterinarian for senior dogs. In about 2 weeÄ·s Improved dogs mobility so much ! I give it to all my adult & senior dogs now. They love the taste.

My dog was on metacam and since that is hard on her system, wanted to find something equally effective without the harshness. She has been on half a tablet for a few weeks now and it works great. Only reason for half is her size!

Seems to have made a difference
