I have a 14 year old 50 lb dog. Her back hips have been hurting her. A woman I met on the beach recommended these and told me they'd take about 6 weeks to kick in. After about 6 weeks, I have actually seen an improvement in my dogs energy and willingness to run. Yes - she still runs! I would take her for walks and she'd try to run and only get about 1/3 of the way before she stopped trying. Now she can go the whole way - which is only a mile, but for my dog to get home and still want to run and play around that's pretty good! That wasn't happening before I started using these.I think she did actually get sick of the taste or something so now I have to wrap them in bacon to get her to eat them. But I don't blame the product for her quirks! :)

I have a Golden Retreiver that has suffered from arthritis since she was 3 years old. She is seven now, and i have tried a lot of things to try to make her more comfortable, none of which worked very well. After two weeks on Joint Max she was like a new dog. She chases balls in the yard again and gets up from her crate in the morning with much less obvious pain than she was before. This worked so well that I started using it on my male Golden Retreiver who injured his ACL running. After about three days he was limping far less and was in much better spirits. I will continue to purchase this product and highly recommend it.

When my dog was an active, playful puppy, he'd occasionally come up limping. I'd panic and take him to the vet to make sure nothing was seriously wrong, and after the 2nd or 3rd time, they suggested he use glucosamine. Of course, they mentioned the expensive brand, which I used for a while... then I found these, which were significantly cheaper, and found they worked as well, if not better than the other.He is now a healthy 9 year old dog and he hasn't had any of the issues from when he was younger, and when I put one of these in his bowl every breakfast, it's the first thing he eats.The huge supply lasts 8 months or so for my dog (larger dogs may take more so run out faster), and the chews stay soft and fresh as long as you close the bag.I figured all these years of daily use deserved a review, and it's absolutely a 5-star product.

This product has been working well and I definitely recommend it. I looked at several on Amazon and tried to match up the ingrediants. Most of the other types didn't have glucosamine, chondroitin, and msm together. I had my dog on Phycox for awhile as I was getting it thru my Vet, and it was costly that way. I wanted to try to find a better price. I checked Amazon and they had the Phycox much cheaper, but again, it doesn't have all those 3 ingredients in it. Joint Max does, and its the cheapest price wise around! Because you should start your dog off with about 3-4 a day to really get it in their system. So having 240 at such a good price helps you not skimp on the amount given. The Phycox was about $.50 each thru my vet, so it was expensive at $2 a day.The reason I need to have my dog on a supplement is because she tore her knee bad about 5-6 years ago. Ripped almost every ligament in the knee, and required a very costly surgery. She gets sore a lot and starts limping when she gets up wrong or quick, plays with a neighbors dog, etc. So I wanted to get her on a good supplement daily. (she's an 8yr old Chow/Retriever mix about 80-85lbs, and i love her to death)The Outcome: Awesome! (as far as I know) So I have been giving her this for about 4-6 weeks now consistently, and I must say I don't think shes had any bad episodes since I started her on these. I don't even think any minor limping either. I wanted to give it enough time to notice a difference before i reviewed it, because you can't tell after a few days. But the week before I started her on these she was limping bad for quite a few days, and started getting better around when I started giving her these. But since then she has been doing really well. Now as for Joint Max compared to others. I have not given her this many of the other brand as I have with this, so I cant compare apples to apples as to which works better. But for the price, and the 3 main ingredients needed, this has it ALL!Other dogs might like the hint of Chocolate flavor this has, but my dog is to smart and won't take them. I have to crumble them up in the bottom of her food and she'll eat them that way. I usually do 2 early an 2 at night for the first 4-6 weeks. Now Im cutting her down to 2-3 a day.Again, I recommend this from personal experience with a dog that has a really bad and sensitive knee! I'll be ordering more very soon
