Zesty Paws Hip & Joint Mobility Bites Duck Flavored Soft Chews Supplement for Dogs

strong artificial smell and throwing up after having it

Have to say this is my first time to try this item after reading so many positive reviews. However, when I opens the cap, I instantly smell the strong artificial meaty scent just like the MSG powder from instant noodle. But I guess the manufacturer mean to add this meaty flavor to make dogs to eat the supplements, just like the sugar coating of human medicine. But I realize my dog throws up almost every time after having it. I haven’t seen anyone mentioned this situation before. I made my dog try several times, but it ends up the same. I haven’t give my dog this supplement anymore. Now the one I bought is expired already. Totally waste of money from my dog’s experience.

Dog thinks they are a treat :-)

We add these to our dog's bowl at mealtime and she gobbles them right up. She took to the Duck flavor right away. We used to give her Bacon flavor, which she loved at first, but the formula must have changed at some point, because she would eat all of her food and leave the chew unless we broke it up into little pieces. Our dog is a large breed (75 lb), genetically predisposed to joint problems, and is getting old so it's difficult to tell how much this is helping her. We also started her on them well before she began having issues so I can't point to any improvement. The sad reality is that no matter whatever we try, over time things will only get worse ... but at least with these she gets to enjoy a tasty treat :-)

Works well on my dog

My 12yo GSP started limping due to age about 2 months ago so I took him to the vet. They suggested that I start him on a supplement. These instructions state to start with one a day and move up to two but I started right at two. We are going on 3 weeks now and my dog's limp has improved greatly and he's able to jump on the bed again. While I'm sure results will vary with different dogs, I suggest you try these if you have a senior dog walking with trouble.

really works!

I give this to my 4 year old American Bully who has moderate arthritis in both hips. Her vet actually recommended this after seeing her limp around even after giving her prescribed pain meds. Now she can run and jump around just about all day with my other dog.

Great for older dogs

I have a rescue that is 10+ years old and has been showing a tenderness in her left hip, causing her to limp when going outside, harder times jumping onto the couch or bed. I've been giving her these bites for a few weeks now and noticed that she's no longer having trouble jumping on the couch/bed and no longer limping! It doesn't help when she gets a little over-exuberant with her sister though, but she's much happier and moving around so much better. Will continue getting these for my 'Old Lady' to keep her pain free and happy

My dog has arthritis in her front leg joints. We've tried many items including braces and CBD. She's been taking 3 a day for just over a week. It seems to be helping. I will buy it again.

Soft chews-Mobility Bites

My beagle Sammy won't eat these as a treat but they are very soft and can easily be crushed to add to food. My Sammy doesn't realize it's in his food and eats it all up. I've noticed that he's not lame anymore-he probably has mild arthritis but I do believe this soft chew is helping!

Bits seem to be helping. However, the 2 containers I received, the bites seem to be hard. Maybe old product? I thought they would be moist chews.

Dog didn’t like them

I was trying to find a replacement for Miilkbone soft chews because I think they are discontinuing the production of them but she does not like these. I have to mash them up in her food and sometimes she eats her food but it’s around the small bits of the treathat is in there.

Not good

After giving my senior buddy three chews, one in the morning, one in the evening, & one the next morning, he developed diarrhea. Immediately stopped giving it to him and it cleared up. Will NOT purchase this again.
