Synovi G4 Joint Health Soft Chews for Dogs

Originally bought at my pup's new vet clinic, I ordered from Chewy to save a trip to and from the vet to purchase. I read reviews here about some of the products having a stiff, hard-to-crumble texture. I decided to chance it. Well, they were indeed hardened, but the package was not out of date so I broke them up with a knife to "crumble" since my two pups are turkeys and gobble edibles without using their munchers in the back. Over time, the chews did soften and became *almost* just like the ones I bought at the vet. That may have to do with temperature during where they are stored and/or shipping. I ordered another bag ahead of time and that bag's chews were also hard, but softened Originally bought at my pup's new vet clinic, I ordered from Chewy to save a trip to and from the vet to purchase.

I ordered another bag ahead of time and that bag's chews were also hard, but softened to a semi-chewy state in about three weeks. I do wonder if they are stored in a cold area and if that has any affect on the quality of the chews. From the time I receive the status the bags have left the facility to the time of arrival, I don't think they get frozen to the point of softening in almost a month's time just from shipping. The difference of pricing between Chewy and the clinic is not much, but if the next bag arrives hardened like the last two, I may look into other options. My concern is if I am paying for a product that has lost its quality when frozen. As for the product itself, I pair these with other supplements. I did notice a difference in the first bag bought from the veterinarian. … more

Our vet recommended these for both of our dogs. Our older dog has a bad knee (bone on bone) and our younger dog (who is only 16 mo old) has an issue with his joints where he is growing too fast. Since we've been giving them these chews they have not been limping around and they seem happier because they're not in pain. I would definitely recommend these for any dogs who have joint issues.

We have been giving this to our 10 year old lab mix on and off for a couple of years and then consistently for the last few months. We can really tell a difference when she takes it daily. I was leery of learning there was new packaging because my cats tear into plastic bags to get to treats. I simply reused the plastic tub these previously came in and it’s been great. Same formula and being kept in the plastic container has kept them the same yummy consistency our dog loves. She definitely enjoys her nightly treat.

I have an elderly dog who has had joint issues for a while. She's been on this supplement for about 6 months now. While she's not running around like a puppy, she is moving a lot easier. It seems to have helped reduce her joint issues enough for her to enjoy her older years.

My dog won't eat them as a "treat" so I'm breaking them up and mixing them with her wet food. She will usually eat them/the food that way. The ingredients look like this is a great supplement but my girl just isn't thrilled with the flavor.

My vert recommended these to help with my Yorkie's joint problems. His knee or hip keeps dislocating when he jumps. He is 11 years old. Not sure if they are helping I imagine it will take a while of eating them to see. He likes them though.

Got the chews hopping he would take them like a treat. He spits them out. We have to cut them up real small and add it to his homemade meal and still he will spit some of it out onto the floor. But, like I said, it is working for him. He is moving much better. Even running around wanting to play ball.

This product was recommended to me by my vet. He said it would take a good 3 weeks before I'd see any improvement in Kit's mobility. His activity level has increased dramatically and seems to be in little to no pain except when the weather changes. I highly recommend this product for dogs that are too old for surgical repair. He acts like he is five again.

My 17 yo chi was recommended to take these for the arthritis she suffers from in her hips. It seems to be helping somewhat already. It's been about 3 weeks, so I'm sure they are not completely in her system yet, but she's started to jump up on her hind legs for a short time to get my attention when I'm at the PC. They are soft and chewy (she takes half a chew), which it good since she doesn't have too many teeth left. The ones that are aren't in good shape, but she's too old to risk going under anesthesia to remove them. She has other health issues also so I was glad there was something she could take that didn't interfere with her other RX's.

Started my two bullies on a joint supplement. I add in Apple Cider Vinegar along with the supplement. These arrived in good condition and they are super fresh and soft. Most dogs should take a supplement as they get older.
