Zuke’s Hip Action, Hip And Joint Support, Soft And Chewy Natural Dog Treats , Peanut Butter And Oats Recipe - 16.0 OZ Bag

My two little rescue Maltese are Zuke’s fans and when I say the name, they react the same as they do to the word ‘treat’.My older Maltese is estimated to be about 7 years old and she does not like any of the glucosamine supplements. I was so happy to discover these Hip Action treats which she loves. My younger rescue is only a year old but she suffered a broken leg at some point that has healed so badly, with muscles and scar tissue surrounding the joints, that surgery is not recommended. Arthritis is expected to be a problem for her as she ages which some prophylactic glucosamine and other supplements may help to minimize.Although there is not a lot of glucosamine and chondroitin in these treats, when combined with the other ingredients, I feel as though I am giving them a wholesome and beneficial treat. The back of the package gives the formula: weight in pounds x 0.023 = treats per day. The large treats are thick and moist and very easy to break into smaller pieces.Zuke’s treats are made in the USA and my dogs are fans.

My dog loves these. I have been using these for over 7 years. Large Chocolate lab. He likes the taste and you can break them into smaller bits and use them for rewards for training

My dog is an 11year, extra large mutt. He has really bad joint and muscle pain. So much that when we actually play with him, he wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and crying. I’ve been giving him these treats in his food twice a day for a few years and it makes a HUGE difference. I thought it was a coincidence so one time a few years ago, when I ran out I stopped buying more. Such a mistake. My dog started limping and walking much slower. Now I make sure he never runs out. Worth the price!

Healthy ingredients.seems to improve his mobility.

My Am Staffi was given the diagnosis of dixlyating petella. When she was 3 I took this as a very light dignosis little did I know how bad it could get. Now that my baby girl is about 11 years old she was barely put her leg to the ground. She had an extrememly difficult time standing up. I even had to buy a tempurpedic bed just for her to sleep at night. Even on the bed sometime she starts to cry due to her discomfort. You can tell how miserable she was watching my other dogs play without her. I was heartbroken to leave her behind while we went on hikes. I decided to invest in the Zuke's Dog Treats as a last hope. I cannot tell you how much it improved our lives. She LOVES the treats. Yes they make her breath a little stinky but she is running with the pack now. She is back to her liveliness romping around the backyard with her playmates. She is going on long hikes through the woods. Best of all she is FINALLY sleeping through the entire night without even a wimper. Invest into your dog now and buy these awesome treats!

We rescued a then 8 wk old lab-pit mix puppy whom we noticed to limp a little, especially after lying down but was fine was he got going and never seemed to be in any discomfort. As of 3 weeks ago his limping worsened & also happened when just simply walking. I finally took him to his vet where she determined after a combination of palpation, and some range of motion test that it was/is his right hip or knee or both. I'm concerned with the possibility of early hip dysplasia given his breed and the symptoms at such a young age. The vet opted to hold off on X-rays (it would cost $238) and treat as a sprain/strain and instead, prescribed him a low dose of Rimadyl (NSAID- 75 mg for his 46-lb self, normal dose is 2 mg/lb of body weight) and said to limit walks to 5-10 minutes tops 3 times a day and absolutely NO dog park or parks for 2 weeks. It seemed to help him some and there was a day or 2 last week I had to increase his dose to the full 90 mg and as recommended by his vet given him Benadryl as needed to keep him mellow & less active.Yesterday, Friday, exactly after 1 week of Zuke's Hip Action 2 X a day, he was so full of energy again, was wanting to run and jump around and insisting on longer walks. It's day 2 of him being completely limp-free and I am so glad to see him almost back to his usual puppy self. I still am a bit leery that this relief could be a fluke or short-term & still plan on keeping him on short walks until our upcoming 2-week appointment this Wednesday. I'm only giving this product 4 stars because I am not sure if all he needed was time and rest for him to heal or that this product finally kicked in once it got through his system after 1 week of use. Unlike what some reviewers said, these treats are very moist and soft, and most of all must be very palatable and made of REALLY GOOD stuff here in the US. He loves the taste, I love the price and efficacy- win win over here! I will continue to order these through Amazon, especially, after pricing them at our local pet stores and finding out they charge almost twice as much for the 1-lb bag. This product's a winner!

For the past year, the chews have been hard and un-chewable. Years ago they were of a much better quality and did benefit my dog's health. Unfortunately, the "chews" are too hard and he eats around them. Had to cancel my subscription.

Every time I open a bag of these, my dog gets excited. Knowing that the first week I started giving her one of these a day her hip condition improved. Where it was so bad, I was counting my days with my 10 year old girl. Now she is approaching 11 and I don't see an end in sight. I had to help her up the 4 steps to the house with a towel. Since starting these, I don't even keep the towel out anymore. She gets up and down better too. I have turned a couple of friends on to these and they too have had great results. Now even better...a 1 pound bag at half (yes, HALF) of what I was paying and prime shipping to my front door. Win and win. Now I'm sending my friends to purchase this as I am. Maybe my baby girl will get an extra treat now and then since my cost is lower and even my vet uses these treats.
