VetriScience Extra Strength Healthy Hip & Joint Feline Formula

My cat is going on 14 years and is suffering arthritis from old age and having been declawed. This last year she has become much less sure of herself when it comes to jumping and moving around. She has developed a very noticeable limp that came and went but was becoming more frequent. I decided to give this a go and was extremely surprised by the results. It's been almost 2 weeks since I started giving her glyco-flex and her limping has not made a reappearance since. In fact, she is jumping and running around like I haven't seen in years. I need to give it some more time to see how the longterm progression is, but without a doubt, my cat is definitely feeling better and that is all I can ask for. Taste wise, she is only moderately interested in the treats but she hasn't turned her nose up at it yet. Overall, I am just overjoyed at seeing her feel better and be able to enjoy life as much as possible with the time she has left. Thanks, Glyco-flex!

They are a little hard, but 5 seconds in the microwave soften them. She doesn't love the flavor but I break them up fine and add to a little wet food.

These are not bite-sized. They're two or three bites. The first batch I purchased (The GlycoFlex stage II in the green bag) were soft, so I could pull them apart for my 13 year old cat to chew and digest easily These were incredibly hard. As in rock hard. Even a sharp paring knife wouldn't work. I had to..well..I Now know the lengths I'd go to make sure something your cat needs is something they can chew, /in other news, they didn't taste as horrible as I was bracing myself for when I bit them int to smaller pieces. If these are made for cats with joint problems..who are most likely OLDER cats, why make a large rock-solid joint aid that they can't chew into smaller pieces, much lest digest? I'm incredibly disappointed that they wouldn't pay more attention to quality control for something like this. You wouldn't give a baby with no teeth, or a child with digestive problems, an apple; and expect that to have a good outcome. I'll never buy these, or anything else, from this vendor again.

This was originally recommended to me by a local pet store. I've been using it for a couple of years now and definitely notice a difference in my cat's mobility. If I run out of this and she doesn't take it for a while, she appears more stiff and less mobile. But when I give it to her on a daily basis she seems much more comfortable and agile. Great product!

The first time I opened these, they seemed chewable for my senior cat (young cat could care less). When I broke up the piece for him, he ate it (senior cat) Yes, pieced huge. They turned to rocks I thought to try too crush them with a spoon which was hard to do and add to his soft food) with some warm water. Then I tried to Microwave them for 15 seconds and BOOM! Soft and ... you can literally crush them with fingers into a power over a soft pate or their food. He eats it right up. I am disappointed in them not being treats, but they quality is amazing and he eats them. I’d rather have a powder at this rate. So trick of trade, heat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, then crumble in fingers :). He eats his soft food periodically ( my younger cat won’t eat his food either so it works) and I do 2 tablets

A bit larger than Temptations Cat Treats or IAMS hard cat food. Not exactly soft or moist but can be crumbled. Cat thought they smelled tempting when whole, but they were too big for cat to eat. When crumbled, cat would not touch them, so I think that breaking them apart might have released a medicine smell. Not a success for us, but at this price way cheaper and less invasive than giving her shots. Definitely worth the attempt.

This is the best product. My older dog runs like a puppy since she started taking this.. (I give her half of dose daily) every day... for ever

My cat is 17 years old, and appeared to have joint issues in his back legs. It's very hard for him to come down the stairs. After a couple weeks of eating these supplements, his demeanor and vigor has greatly improved! He no longer walks stiffly, and is back to his old self - going outside and staying more active. I'm very grateful. I also have a 15-year-old female cat. She won't eat these, but I know she could benefit from it. So I'm going to grind it up and put it in her wet food.
