How is Synovi G4 different from other joint supplements?
Synovi G4 builds upon the success of the Synovi G3 matrix, a blend of various joint health ingredients, including glucosamine, manganese and green-lipped mussel, which has sold over 250 million doses. Synovi G4 is enriched with the naturally-derived ingredients turmeric, a potent antioxidant, and Boswellia serrata. Laboratory studies have shown that Turmeric and Boswellia serrata help support a healthy inflammatory response.
What is Boswellia serrata? Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian frankincense, is a large branching tree native to India, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. The tree's resin contains boswellic acids, which have shown in laboratory studies to support a healthy inflammatory response and promote joint health. Boswellia serrata may also help with occasional discomfort and joint stiffness due to daily activity.
What is Turmeric?
A plant of the ginger family native to Asia and India most commonly associated as a spice for cooking. The active component, curcumin, is a yellow phytochemical extracted from the plant's roots. It contains free radical scavenging abilities and has shown to assist in the synthesis of important cellular enzymes.
Why does Synovi G4 not contain chondroitin?
Synovi G4 is based on the joint health ingredient matrix found in Synovi G3 which contains Perna canaliculus, also known as Green-lipped mussel, found off the coastal waters of New Zealand. Perna is a source of chondroitin as well as Omega-3 fatty acids.
Why did you choose the combination of Boswellia and Turmeric?
These two ingredients were added because they are not commonly found in traditional joint supplements and are known for a variety of health benefits. A growing body of evidence indicates that both Boswellia and Turmeric may be beneficial in the support of healthy joints, including cartilage and connective tissue, as well as a healthy inflammatory response.
How can I use Synovi G4? Synovi G4 can be used as a standalone product or in coordination with Free Form' and/or Alenza Soft Chews for additional supplemental support or as directed by your veterinarian. Joint supplements are typically given to dogs that are starting to age, may be slowing down, or have trouble climbing stairs. For active dogs, a joint supplement can also help maintain joint health and mobility.
Will Synovi G4 interfere with other medications my dog may be taking?
There are no known contraindications for Synovi G4 but always tell your veterinarian about all the medications and supplements that you give your dog.
What can I expect after giving Synovi G4 to my dog? It varies depending on a wide scope of factors, such as lifestyle, genetic predispositions, body condition, and type of discomfort. It is possible pet owners may notice some benefit within 2-4 weeks.
Can I use Synovi G4 for my cat?
No. Synovi G4 is labeled for use in dogs only.
How should Synovi G4 be stored? Store at room temperature in a location your dog can't access.
Synovi G4 is provided in a tub and should be kept sealed and stored at room temperature when not in use. It does not require refrigeration or any other special storage.
When should Synovi G4 be given?

Best joint product on the market
By Dlady on Feb 21, 2021
I began using this type of product over 10 years ago for aging and arthritic dogs at the advice of my vet. She had had remarkable results. It was unbelievable in the level of increased mobility and reduction of pain and stiffness after about a month. I recommended to numerous friends who had similar results. It’s not a cure but sure increases quality of life for these dogs. A surgeon was so impressed he researched the ingredient list to see if he could find a similar product for humans that he could take. There’s not an equal. One somewhat similar but he didn’t get as dramatic a result as with the dogs. I had old dogs live comfortably for 2-3 more years because of this product.

It’s like a treat and most dogs love it, so easy to use. … more

Vet Recommended
By danakins on Feb 12, 2021
My vet recommended these for my 15 year old rat terrier with arthritis problems, in combination with Carprofen (pain relief). Her mobility has improved significantly since beginning this treatment. I also give them to my 8 year old lab. They have a kind of charcoal/smoky smell that the lab doesn't like, but we work that out with some deli roast beef. :)

Less joint pain but not tasty
By Kayla on Feb 4, 2021
My husky has had some hip and joint issues this year. I noticed after having him on these treats for a month he has been in less discomfort. The problem is that he does not like the taste of the treats and will drop them on the ground then walk away. I am now putting peanut butter on top of them which he seems to like and will eat them.

About Average
By Yotel on Jan 8, 2021
My 11 yr old BC has been on similar products and to find any that is amazing is near impossible without also supplementing with pain meds which I have done as he does have hip dysplasia and bone lesions. Up to now he is still active but does not compete in agility or herding. He also has a heart condition for the last couple of years. I feel fortunate that he is active but do see gradual aging process so no I cannot say this is amazing supplement. I would never go without a supplement.

Ok but broken package
By Maggie on Dec 28, 2020
The shipping box was fine but the plastic bucket is broken...which means it was shipped that way....kind of the reason i wanted these (built in storage). Not very good customer service to send out jacked up products. I've seen lots of chewy reviews about broken or leaking product, and i was hoping id get lucky i guess. The only saving grace is that the treats were sort of bagged so i think they are safe to feed my dogs...but i hate that I have to wonder :/ Shipped quickly, product is correct. Going to start them on the treats tonight. (Using for a 14 year old heeler with arthritis in her spine and a put with slightly wonky hips).

Works great
By ljennif on Jan 11, 2021
This has worked great for our older dogs. We have one who had knee surgery and one whose leg was badly broken. Both are over 10 years old and were having trouble getting around. After taking these twice a day for just a few days both of them started moving better. They think they're getting treats and it's helped so much!

I think this helps my 11-year old dog
By Suesue on Jan 10, 2021
I'm most often skeptical about supplements, believing that many are just hype, untested in actual scientific trials. However, my Westie has been on Synovi G4 for a few years now. He plays hard most days each week, and I am seeing less soreness after exercising than before we began using this supplement. I do think it helps him.

Joint Health Chews Great for Older Dog
By Samwich17 on Jan 2, 2021
Our veterinarian recommended that we get these chews for our dog who is turning seven in January. She has started to limp and seems to have a bit of pain in her joints. As a German Shepard mix she is prone to hip displacia. She loves the treats and it smells good to her. We just give her one treat every morning and it seems to be helping with her pain.

Joint health review
By Maxey on Feb 22, 2021
Synovi G 4 joint health chews have made a real difference for our 13 yr old lab/retriever mix dog. Has definitely put a spring back in his walk. He loves the taste of them too.

3 year old Newfie is no longer limping
By CathyD on Nov 30, 2020
Our Newfoundland was limping on her front paw off and on for 2 years. We had her vet checked repeatedly, x-rayed, CT-scanned for planned surgery (cancelled when scans were clear), visited a Chiropractor and found no cause or relief. A friend recommended these (similar experience starting at 4 years with her dog who is now 13). In 3 weeks she has NO limp and has begun walking, playing and running with no complaint. Feels like a miracle - praying it lasts!
