Ark Naturals Joint Rescue Super Strength Chewables Dog & Cat Supplement

My 11 year old Maine Coon, Salem Maurice, started slowing down and not playing as much anymore. We noticed he was having a bit of trouble jumping onto and off of the bed. We figured he was possibly getting sore from arthritis and wanted to help him return to his spunky, mischievous self. We came across this product at Chewey and for the price, we decided to try it. It says for dogs and cats and its chewable. Well, they are very large tablets for a cat and no way would Salem eat it like they are. What we did was take a half, crush it into a powder form and mix it into some wet cat food. We also used Friskies lil soups to mix it in which also worked really well.

We are going on three months now that Salem has been on these pills and we have noticed a very significant change in him. He is so much more playful, playing with our three year old at least twice a day now whereas before it might have been twice a week. He has an easy time jumping again and is much more alert and bright eyed. His coat has even improved and is very shiny and soft. I highly recommend this product, it has worked extremely well for our Salem Maurice :) … more

You may need to start slowly, they do have a taste, and some dogs may not dig it. Our Kelpie made it almost 19 years, we put her on when she was 12. Trying it now on a Havi cross with dysplasia.

These tablets are quite large and need to be broken up for a cat to eat it. Even then it was not a hit with Snizz. The dog gingerly ate these. Again difficult due to the size and hardness.

so my very active 6 yr old GSD started grunting every time she'd lay down. i bought her an orthopaedic (egg crate) bed to support joints but she still groaned and was growing more and more reluctant to exercise outdoors. one week after putting her on this joint supplement she no longer grunts when she curls up on her bed and she's more interested in bounding around again. so these get a 10/10 from me. also Chewy thank you for the great price. [now, a minor grumble to reviewers giving this supplement 1-star because their dog won't eat it. you're the human, find a way to get them into your pet. you are doing a disservice to the question of whether or not these supplements are effective. people so my very active 6 yr old GSD started grunting every time she'd lay down. i bought her an orthopaedic (egg crate) bed to support joints but she still groaned and was growing more and more reluctant to exercise outdoors. one week after putting her on this joint supplement she no longer grunts when she curls up on her bed and she's more interested in bounding around again. so these get a 10/10 from me. also Chewy thank you for the great price.

This product seems to help Wally's overall movement and flexibility. These tablets contain much more than just glucosamine. I believe it is these other ingredients which separates this product from others I've tried.

This tablet is HUGE! My dog won't eat it! I've broken it in half but she will will not chew it. I've smashed it between two spoons (very hard ) and mixed it with her food. She tends to eat around the pieces. Unfortunately I purchased two bottles.

my german shepherd couldnt even get on the couch before taking these. now he is playing and running around like a puppy. he wouldnt eat them so i put them in a plastic baggie and use a malot to crush them and put them in his food. i am really shocked at how well these work for him. i would suggest maybe making a powder.

My dogs wouldn’t eat them, even the ones that aren’t picky. My dogs are small and the dosage is a half tablet. They are so hard that I was unable to break them in half. We will stick with the chews of the same brand. Everyone loves them!

None of my dogs - I have 4, including 2 that do NOT have very discriminating taste buds - will take these tablets. I have tried to make them in to smaller pieces (they are Shih-Tzu and Shih-Tzu mix) and still "no sale". They will put them in their mouths and then drop them. Considering how expensive these were I am very disappointed. However, as all 4 of these fur babies are seniors and our vet wants them on this type supplement I will have to try something else. Though they say these are for dogs and cats - really? Our two cats would not even give these things a lick...but they are "cats" and with them I was not surprised. Very surprised with the dogs.

my little havanese blew his ccl. he was 12 when this happened. instead of surgery, we opted to give him joint rescue. the pill is big (wish it came in a powder form). we crush it with a spoon and give him 1/2 a day. needless to say if we miss a few days giving him the vitamin (which we don't now), he is lethargic and limps. He is almost 15 now and still gets energy like a puppy. this vitamin is excellent and better than just cosequin. Highly recommended
