WaggPaws Dog Joint Supplement With Glucosamine For Stiff And Older Dogs - With Green Lipped Mussel, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid and Curcumin - Pet Supplies Dogs - 120 Chicken Flavoured Chewable Tablets

My dog turned 11 last year and up until that point he was happy as Larry. We didn’t notice any issues with his health. He’s always been pretty active, and I would take him out running with me most days (even if it was really cold and I had to drag both of us outside against our best wishes haha). So the idea of him needing supplements hadn’t even crossed my mind. We just gave him regular food, and the occasional treats if he wasn’t causing too much carnage!A few months ago I noticed something strange. The stairs in my house started really bothering him. At first he was just going up and down much slower than usual, and I thought he’d maybe hurt his leg or something outside. He didn’t have any cuts or bruises, so I took him to the Vet to get checked out. The Vet said he was just old and “that’s just what happens”, basically saying there’s nothing I can do about it! Obviously I’m not an expert, but I went online and started researching things that can help alleviate pain in older dogs. A bunch of people were saying to try out joint supplements, and they can make a huge difference.So I bought these for him, and started off trying to hide them in his food, thinking he was going to turn his nose up at them, but he was wolfing everything down without any issues, then amazingly one day I just threw a couple up in the air and he grabbed them and ate them! He actually seems to like the taste of them, I guess humans and dogs have very different ideas about what a treat is haha…So anyway, long story short, I started to notice an improvement in him after a week or so. He is acting like he was 5 years ago! He’s running up and down stairs like normal, and he absolutely seems more energetic and active when I’ve got him out with me. I was joking about starting to take them myself to see if it would have the same beneficial effects!I am giving him the maximum amount (four tablets) every day, and I’m just going to keep doing that for a couple of months. Some people online were saying you can start to taper them down to a smaller dose once they’ve built up enough strength again. So I’ll see how he gets on with them over a longer period of time. To be honest, I might just continue to give him the same amount every day.I wish I’d started to give him supplements earlier on, I might have saved him a lot of struggle and discomfort over the years. He’s my pride and joy, and I only want to see him happy.

These tablets are definitely making a difference to our retired search dog, who leapt the last two stairs this morning in eagerness for his trip to the park, a very encouraging improvement and a joy to see.One thing he won’t do is eat them as they are, preferring them hidden in a piece of meat but then he’s probably having me on. I’ve decided to add Wild Salmon Oil to his raw meals too. You give approx 5ml per 10kg if you’re interested, Amazon sell a good range, just make sure it’s wild not farmed salmonIf you’re not already feeding your beloved pals on a raw diet and are seriously interested in the longevity and happiness of your canine companion then please bear with me and read my short raw-food rant below!From experience I’d recommend a raw diet, start ASAP and make sure your dog has lightly cooked veg, small amount of oat-based fibre and raw meat, a fresh bone a week will keep their teeth clean. Above all stay away from tinned and processed dog food, I’d include the miserable pellets they assure you contain all the dog needs; they may do, as long those needs don’t include enjoyment, long life and clean teeth. Sigh.Anyway as you can tell we’re on a crusade to save dogs from the hideous gloop that is dog food. It’s carcinogenic, sugary and a recipe for illness. There’s loads of info online and it doesn’t have to mean chopping up steak although it’s not exactly a chore if you love your dog, is it? Still, you can buy frozen raw food if you want and that’s probably the best stuff if your dog, like our pug, is prone to weight gain. Essentially the pet food industry is in it for themselves so don’t be taken in, I fed my own dogs the stuff for years in blissful ignorance and I’m horrified to now realise what I might have caused. A good rule of thumb is your dog’s poo; if it’s nice and firm and doesn’t make you heave you’re on the right track!

It works well, but persuading the dog to take them is an issue.

The tabs are meant to be chewable. Our Labrador will not take them on their own, but she will eat them when mixed into her wet food. She really isn't a very picky eater, so the flavor might not be very strong. I would prefer a pill that I don't have to mix with food to encourage her to take. I think it will depend on the dog as to how they are accepted. I was contacted by customer service who were very friendly and helpful, and they offered a refund, which we didn't take because she will consume them mixed in food. Thank you for offering, though. I changed my review from a 2 to a 3 because they really were fantastic.

An absolute brilliant find. I have a 15 yr old dog who was on medication all the time and I was concerned about the long term effects. I bought Wagg to try ant not feeling too confident. My little terrier is now solely on glucosamine every day and off the prescribed painkillers. I have reordered so I have enough for a year. I can't believe it but it really works.

Excellent product! Our dog is fussy when it comes to food let alone supplements! He sees these as treats rather than medicine and gobbles them up eagerly! Great product, great price, will buy again!

This product unfortunately did not suit my dog and appeared to give her tummy ache. However it comes with a money back guarantee and the seller acted very quickly to refund the cost. He also showed genuine concern, so I'm happy to recommend the seller.

My dog seems to have perked up more than normal. He has had a slight limp on his front left leg for a while. He is nearly 9 and probably needed a joint supplement and since taking this there is no sign of his limp and as I said he is extremely mobile and loops around on his walks like a pup. Would definitely recommend this supplement.
