Customer Reviews

First and foremost, let me say I like what this product has done for my geriatric Greyhounds. I have 6 rescued Greyhounds, ages 7-12. For the last decade, I had used another glucosamine product which I liked. I began researching products as my dogs got older and the vet recommended a higher dosing of not only glucosamine but of the chondroitin as well. On top of that, I insist on products without any junk in them: I want an all natural, no preservative, etc product.
That being said, in less than one month, there is significant improvement in my two eldest gals' movements, ages 11 and 12. Their everyday quality of life is vastly improved; they are playing and socializing with the other 4 again and even initiating the play which they had stopped doing. The oldest had been dropping to the floor like a rock vs. lowering herself slowly and with new product, she is back to being able to slowly get down/up without too much assistance on my part. I will keep purchasing this product for now and, now that I have depleted all the former product by giving it to the younger ones, all 6 will be getting this product now.
The hate relationship I have with this stems from the tablets themselves. I originally purchased 6 bottles of this: one bottle for each dog. There are 90 tablets in each bottle which would have taken me through, I thought, 3 months each.
However, all my dogs weigh more than 70lbs requiring each to get 3 tablets daily: 2 in A.M. and 1 in the P.M. Not so bad. I can live with that. What simply annoys me to no end is the fact that these tablets are a 'hard' tablet about the diameter of a quarter ; depth of 3 stacked quarters. Although these appear to be a hard tablet, they are very soft and easily broken/crushed. And while I would expect a few broken tablets here and there, I found an absolute mess of broken tablets in every bottle of the 6 bottles I purchased with only a handful of tablets still intact. The majority of tablets in each bottle were broken into tiny pieces or simply pulverized into a fine powder (see images and notes) that I can neither piece together guessing I have a complete tablet in hand or measure the fine powder. Lots of waste in each bottle. With the number of dogs I want to keep healthy for as long as possible, the cost of this product, and the inexcusable condition in which the tablets are in the bottle, I'm off to shop around. If I wanted to mess around with measuring this supplement for them each mealtime, I would have shopped for a powder or liquid supplement vs. tablets. And because I will never guess about giving my babies what I think is the right amount of any supplement or medication, the small broken pieces and powder goes down the disposal.
So, I love the active ingredients and natural-ness of this product but don't care much at all for the quality of the tablet design/form themselves. Had the bottles been damaged, cracked, dented, etc upon delivery, I might have expected a few damaged tablets but certainly not what I received in 6 bottles.
Edit: 9/28/11 I found an alternate product with the same % of ingredients and same dosing. Because it was more economical, I ordered the container of 720 tablets. (With 6 dogs at 3 tablets each per day, even this won't last long). It arrived yesterday. And while that container was placed in a cardboard packing box much too large for it, and it certainly had to have banged around in that carton during its journey to my front door, there isn't a single tablet in the container that appears crushed or even broken. The container looks like a child's clear plastic beach pail with a lid and handle (more rectangular than circular but you get the picture) so aside from the few tablets hidden by the label, I can see everything in it. That being said, I'm hoping I see the same results from this newer product that I am seeing with the disappointing product for which this review was written. In just 2 weeks, my geriatric gal who was taking Rimadyl for pain twice daily hasn't needed it for 5 days now. Her energy is back, she initiates play and she is sleeping through the night. I'm hoping for results just as good. If so, I'll switch to the 'pail' product for certain only because the tablets aren't pulverized into dust upon receipt and I'll be able to 'wash my hands' of the mess of this crushed and broken product for good.

Product arrived within 3 days of me ordering it. Within 4 days of me giving it to my dog, Madison, i noticed a great improvement in her mobility. From a slow walk, to now being able to run, she is feeling much better thanks to this product. I was afraid she may not like the taste but she ate it without a fuss. I highly recommend this product. It truly works. I'll be re-ordering as soon as i run out.
