 Nutri-Vet Hip & Joint PLUS Dec 14, 2008
By Barrie Orange

I have a 9-year old Corgi who has been on this product for about a year now. Without it, she is a bit gimpy in the rear end. With it, she gets around with enthusiasm. The price at Amazon is better than I can find anywhere else and I highly recommend this for senior dogs, gimpy or not.

 dogs love em Sep 05, 2010
By C. Curtiss
My 9 yr old australian blew out her right rear knee and was limping and sore for several months. the vet said it would heal some within about 4 months but we didn't see any real change until we started her on these about 6 months after her injury. After about 3 months on these I realized she wasn't limping any more and was doing most things she had before she got hurt. She still can't run full speed without it catching but before, she struggled just getting up. Note: that these say not to give them to diabetic dogs.

 my dogs are not fans Jun 29, 2011
By Angela Evans
I have two elderly dogs (both over the age of 13) that have joint and hip issues. In an effort to alleviate the stiffness, I turned to glucosamine. I tried several brands of tablets and none have met my dogs' approval. When I feed my dogs, these tabs sit at the bottom of their dish. If I have any hope of them being consumed, I have to use a pill cutter or knife to break them in halves and quarters and then I have to cover them with canned dog food. What's more, my dogs need more than 500 mg of glucosamine so doing this several times a day was a tad much. I've since started to use For Animals-K-9 Level 5000 Glucosamine - 32 oz - Liquid. I place the liquid on top of their food and they don't appear to notice, or at least, have not engaged in any hunger strikes because of its presence.
According to the Nutri Vet Hip and Joint Plus container, 1/2 chew is recommended per 40 lbs. of body weight. If you decide to follow the guidelines, prepare to get out the pill cutters. These tablets are a decent size but not easily snapped in half without the use of a supplemental cutting aide. Each tab has 500 mg of glucosamine, which is from a shellfish source. Two-hundred mg of chondroitin sulfate is also provided, which hails from a bovine source.
This product has received good reviews and, to be fair, my dogs are older and have poor teeth. This might have played a role in their distaste for the product, which is a little denser than other glucosamine tabs on the market.
According to the product labeling, this product may be used with pregnant dogs. This product should not be given to dogs with an allergy to shellfish.
This product is made in the United States.
