NaturVet Moderate Care Glucosamine DS Level 2 Max Formula Dog Tablets

I do not know what to say. I manufacture large animal feed for dairy, hogs and poultry. I know my fats & oils chemistry better than most. I have rescued 54-dogs over the last 27-years. My latest Newfie (have 3 Newfies) needed his knee repaired and his ACL fixed twice plus he has hip dysplasia. He has needed help for the last 3-months to get up. I have been feeding him DS Plus for 1-week after just maintenance glucosamine dosage. Yesterday, he got up on his own and walked down 3-steps without help. I will NOT stop giving the animal DS Plus EVER.

I previously had purchased the “soft chews” version of this product. And did not realize what a difference there would be from the “soft chew” to “chewable tab”. I didn’t realize there would even be a difference, until I received the product (there is some wording on the bottle, but otherwise the bottles look identical). So I’m including a picture. And will later go back and post a picture of the other product, as well. These tabs my dog will not chew up. She spits them out. Normally she’s a good medicine taker. And even lays still on the floor to get diabetes shots. The soft chew version she ate immediately. I tried to crush up the tabs and add with canned pumpkin (which my dog loves pumpkin I previously had purchased the “soft chews” version of this product.

I tried to crush up the tabs and add with canned pumpkin (which my dog loves pumpkin), but she was still reluctant to eat it. Even uncrushed with a little pumpkin, she reluctantly tried to swallow them, which the pill is meant to be chewed, how it’s supposed to be absorbed in the dog’s shorter digestive tract. Since medicine is literally life or death as a diabetic dog, I didn’t want her to dread “medicine-time”, so I’ll be switching back to the soft chews. The tabs are more economical because each one has 500mg of glucosamine, vs each chew has 250mg. So that’s over a 20% savings for the tabs vs chews (at the date/price I’m writing this review). A diabetic dog has many medical expenses, so saving money anywhere helps, but it won’t be with this product. For reference, my dog’s a 10 year old black Labrador retriever, 80lb, with arthritis, diabetes, and some hip displasia. … more

Have a 5 year old rott/lab mix who is starting to have problems with his right hip. This product has been great. Tank is starting to be his young self again!!!

my German shepherd puppy has had some hip popping problems but once I started him on these supplements I have really noticed a difference in his activity level. He loves to jump and run around!!!

I started giving these to my 70 lb hound mix about a month ago and the difference in her behavior is incredible. She's lost five years of aches and pains in the last 30 days. She doesn't shake when she's trying to stand up anymore, her anxiety about going down stairs is better and it takes half the time for her to stretch out her old joins in the morning.

Our 8 year old Brittany Spaniel loves taking them everyday. She knows she gets it after she eats, and if you’re not there waiting with it in hand, she gets angry. I think they really help her, and it makes this dog mom’s heart happy that my girl loves taking them.

I have no idea if this is actually going to be helpful for my dog or not. She's only been on the supplement for 10 or so days and it'll take time to really know if it helps her joint pain. I have to dip the tablets in dog safe peanut butter because she doesn't like the flavor. We are still evaluating the product.

These are chalky and broken. I recommend trying something else.

Second order good product! Our Yorkie had multiple surgery’s on hind legs ! Really helped him out!

As always delivery was very fast! My dogs just took their first dose today and while I can't speak to immediate effects. I can say that my dogs had no trouble eating these at all. They loved the taste! The texture of the pill was also very easy to divide and would be extremely easy to crumble or crush to put in some pumpkin as a treat! I think most dogs would love these and think they are treats. My oldest dog can be finicky with medicine if it smells like medicine and my youngest is extremely finicky with medicines. They both gobbled their double dose down and wanted more! I'm very happy with this purchase in that aspect! I will try to remember to update this review in a few weeks to As always delivery was very fast! My dogs just took their first dose today and while I can't speak to immediate effects.
