Very soft, nice chews!

May 12, 2017

Just started using these for about 1 week, but the dogs love them so far. I'm a Vet tech and very picky about what supplements I use for my own pets. I bought these mainly for my 6 year old Belgian Malinois, but also for my older Papillons. The Mal gobbles these down and loves the taste. The papillons eat them if I break them up and with some encouragement. The treats themselves are VERY soft, almost like a powdery consistency when broken. I like how soft they are. You could easily crumble them in dog food too. They are a little smaller than a quarter, not big at all compared to some. Most of all I love the ingredients and the amounts. I searched literally for days comparing milligrams and ingredients. These smell and look great, so I hope I see good results with it. Highly recommend so far!

Made my dog's stomach really upset

July 23, 2017

These made my dog REALLY sick. He's a minpin/toy poodle mix and almost immediately after starting him on these his stomach started getting VERY upset. He was throwing up a lot and just sitting down on walks which is so unlike him. I thought maybe he needed an adjustment period so I persisted but he got worse. I finally just gave up when he decided to stop eating all together. Not like him at all and it was very upsetting to see.

Really helps older dogs with mobility issues!!

January 19, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been looking everywhere for a product that would combine both glucosamine and tumeric and I finally found it!! I have a 10 yo pup that has had some mobility issues with not being able to jump up or go upstairs without obvious discomfort, if he would even do it. I took him to acupuncture and didn't have a whole lot of luck. A friend recommended this and around 10 days he was not only completely cured, but he was back to being like two again. He was running around like a puppy, it was truly hilarious and oh so gratifying to see after many weeks of pretty serious mobility constraints. I think he may have been having some arthritis discomfort that we didn't even pick up on until his back legs went bad so this seems to have probably cleared up more than just his pain in the back legs. And I personally have had amazing experiences with Turmeric so very grateful to have an option that includes both!!

I feel like we've been using these long enough to give a review now, so I hope this helps: We adopted my senior dog when he was 12 years old - 100lb hound/shepherd mix. He was just starting to show his age; slow to get up and slow to get down - he looked like he was getting achy and sore a lot. I started using Premium Hip and Joint Dog Treats by Active Chews and we almost immediately saw an improvement in his mobility (and that shocked me - I thought it would take at least a couple weeks to see if there was a difference). I usually give him 2 a day now (sometimes 3, depending on how well he's doing) and most of the time he's up for running and playing in the yard or at the dog park. He's much quicker to get up in the morning and lay down. He seems so much happier and even a little bit younger since we started using these. I honestly was just hoping he wouldn't feel so achy, but I got a lot more than that with these chews. (He also loves to eat them!) I highly recommend this product.

Simply put, the best help for my old Lab. He's so happy to get his 'treat' every night! I do see improvement in his being able to get around since he's been taking this product for awhile. I noticed a difference in him about half way through the first jar of them I bought. I'd walk through fire for this dog to make him feel better, but I don't have to because you've offered this top rate product. Thank You! My friend happy, I'm happy.

... these are the only ones that visibly make him better, even compared to pills w more glucosamine

June 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've tried other pills for our 8 yr old boxer and these are the only ones that visibly make him better, even compared to pills w more glucosamine. We tried these ones first months ago, and within a few weeks he was walking standing and getting up better. We tried another kind after words and didn't seem to make much difference but was more expensive. He's currently on a third different kind because they were on sale at a big box store, but he's going back to losing strength in his hind legs, struggling to get up the stairs, squats when standing, etc... am going to fork up the extra few bucks and get these again. Idk what it is, but these work better for some reason.

and thus far I am pleased with the progress I see in him

February 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

Our 12 year old recently adopted shelter dog has been taking these for a week, and thus far I am pleased with the progress I see in him. Due to his age, he was very stiff in his rear end. After just one week he is moving better, and just seems happier in general. He enjoys the taste and gobbles them right up.

I am quite familiar with the effects of turmeric. We have a horse that has soundness issues, and we feed it to him to battle the inflammation. For anyone considering these treats to help your dog, please know that you need to give them at least a month of consistent use to allow the ingredients to build up in their system and show the full potential for improvement.

Very effective as a supplement, not really a treat

December 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

My almost 9-year old, 68 lb goldendoodle started taking these supplements 2 years ago when he was experiencing prolonged soreness and stiffness in his hips/hind legs. He was prescribed anti-inflammatory meds from the vet after x-rays showed no structural issues other than inflammation, but the meds (and an extended period of low activity) did not resolve the issue. I followed the directions of giving Griffin 3 of the chews each day for the first month and have maintained him at 2 chews a day since then. Not only has he not experienced any additional hip/leg issues since he started taking these supplements, he runs around with the energy and agility of a much younger dog (and is often mistaken for one when we are at the dog park!) Griffin has never viewed these as treats and will not eat them if offered as is, but it's easy enough to hide the supplements in the scoop of wet food he eats each morning. I am thrilled with this product, love that it is made in the USA, and think it's a great value. I highly recommend!

Worked great for one, not so much for the other.

July 4, 2019

My golden retriever was limping badly and laying around all day. Within two days of taking these chrws, she was not limping, actually running and playing. Worked great for her. My shitz zhu could hardly walk because of her hip dysplasia and I gave her the chews with very little result. She did however, seem to have slightly less pain some days. So I will continue giving them to her because of that. In conclusion, it worked great for one dog, not so much for the other. Both dogs are old so results depend on the severity of your dog's problem.

Didn’t work for my dogs.

December 11, 2018

Didn’t seem to hurt; didn’t seem to help. The container will be finished today and I’m trying something else.

I have two dogs in need of joint support. One is an 85 lb, 10 1/2-year-old Lab mix who started limping about two years ago and neither the vet nor I have found the solution to relieve her discomfort. She has been on some form of joint support since she was two. The other is a 55 lb, almost 14-year-old pit mix who is disfigured with arthritis and whose previous owner pretty much let things take their course. I have had her and been trying to treat her for her aches and pains for about six months.

Their hearts and minds are in it but both dogs went from great horseback riding, hiking, and jogging companions to unable to take a step without limping. I’d love to bring their joints in line with their brains so they can be more comfortably active. I haven’t found anything yet to do the trick, whether prescribed, homeopathic, OTC…
