VetriScience GlycoFlex Stage II Moderate Strength Joint Support Bite-Sized Cat Chews, 60 chews

I bought these for my cat who is 14 because it seemed like she was starting to take a lot more caution when jumping onto or off of things. Like it might hurt a bit and maybe she wasn't as sturdy. I've only been giving them to her for about a week, but I think they might be helping a bit. I'm hoping the progress continues. I wasn't sure if she would eat them because she's picky, but she she will usually gobble it right up. They are rather large for a cat so I have to break them in half and they are not super soft, but they are chewy. Only downside to them is the awful smell that you get hit with when you open the bag. They stink...plain and simple, but if they help my furbaby then it's worth it I bought these for my cat who is 14 because it seemed like she was starting to take a lot more caution when jumping onto or off of things.

I purchased this product for my 14-year-old. He will not eat it, though, even when I try to mix it in with his food. My other 2 cats who are a bit younger eat them like they're treats. Oh well, maybe it will do some good for them, although the older cat is the one who really needs help with his joints.

Well . . . should've tried the Stage I . . . cat who really needs these won't eat them but his little sister acts like they're great; I do think they're making her more active. None of the other cats except the youngest (approx. 9 mos.) will eat them. Who knows? Cats are strange . . .

As a treatment for arthritis...Within a few days, both my 15 year old cats began to play. Our Emma has arthritis and she seldom plays. I know this is not expected to work this quick, but Emma's cat posture was noticeably better. She actually snubbed the med, but her sister kitty likes the taste. So I chop it up fine and mix it in dry food. It's working. I don't know for sure how much Emma is getting, but since she is always the first to the bowl, clearly she is getting enough.

My cat Hemi has always run like Seabiscuit but time is hard on a old lady and the limping around, stairs at the bed and carrying her up and down was hard to watch. Desperate to have her enjoy her last few years I tried this. At first she wouldn't have it. Then I chopped it up and mixed it in chicken baby food. Not cat food, baby food. Bullseye! She can jump. Jog. And get to her food bowl first. If this allows her some pain free movement in her last few years, I'm all for it and will keep buying!!!

My 12-year-old very picky eater loves these, and she turns her nose up at most things (unless it's something I'm eating). I give her one in the morning and one in the evening, and she chows them down every time. I've also noticed a marked improvement in her mobility - where she used to avoid the stairs she now follows me up and down over and over, and where she used to ask me to pick her up to be on my lap, she now jumps up with no hesitation. I think they are working well. It took several weeks, so be patient when you start these for your kitty.

My old man, now 18 1/2 been getting this for three years now. Seems to help him with mobility as opposed to when he is not getting it.

I have 2 other cats besides the one I bought this for. None of them will touch these treats. If they don't eat them, the chews do no good.

None of my 4 cats would even eat it. One cat almost but the treat stuck in her molars & now wont touch them either. Wish they came in a salmon flavor then maybe only maybe they would eat it.

Not sure if they are supposed to be rock hard, but I cut them up and some of my cats ate the crumbs. One cat threw it up, but the others found it somewhat palatable.
