Spark one of our border collies started to slow down, we started him on hip action & within 4 months he started to run and jump like a puppy. We told friends & they have their 9 yp spitz on it. thanks for making a great product.
Mr. Boo is 14 and has been getting arthritis in his hips. It was getting so bad he couldn't jump and even walking was obviously painful. The medications the vet gave him was helping a bit, but it was causing him to be listless and his coat was getting matted and coarse. We started him on 2 hip action treats per day and have been able to cut out the med's completely. He's running and jumping again with only a slight limp. His coat has improved dramatically and he seems much more alert and happy. His quality of life is better then it's been in years. our family thanks you for making this great and affordable product that is helping him so much.
When i adopted my border collie mix, anna, she was so stiff with arthritus, she acted like a dog twice her age. the vet first put her on steroids, and then metacam. but i didn't like giving her such strong medication. then i tried zuke's hip action. by the end of the first bag she was running, and acting like a puppy!! i am so happy!! it has been 6 months and she's still going strong! thanks for such a high quality product. regards, carolyn
We just adopted our 2nd persian (both rescued from kitten mills). She's about 5 and spent most of her life in a cage. She was so timid & spent her first week in hiding...until i brought home a package of zuke's purrz! as soon as i opened the package and got closer, she crawled out to get a sniff... We left a trail all the way to a sunny window/open area. She inhaled every one. In the last 3 weeks we started hiding them around the house & she loves discovering where they are hidden! now both cats gently approach and put a paw on our arm...purrz please!! great product! sincerely, mikey (2years) & dharma (3 years) thank you from the bottom of their heart (stomach!)
Dear zuke, i just want to thank you so much for making your tasty treats. My pup sierra- an 11 year old yorkie was beginning to ail a few years back- she has oscillating knee caps and it started to affect her hips and she wasn't able to run or jump without her legs giving out on her. One fine day my mom stumbled upon your fine hip action treats at whole foods and we started to give sierra one a day. Well now she is a rip-roaring running and jumping machine and her vet says she has the energy of a young pup. So here's a big thanks and you keep on keeping on and keep those tasty treats coming!! all the best your pals- jenny and her pup sierra
Growing up i was fortunate to share my childhood with 8 pugs and 3 labs. we were definitly a "dog" family. so when i grew up, moved out, and my fiance and i decided to get a dog of our own, we were overjoyed when we, rather, when josh, our australian shepherd, chose us. we wanted an active pooch that could keep up with us when we went on hikes, trained for our road races, and swam in the local watering holes! we couldn't be happier with our pup, and he couldn't be happier with your powerbones. whether a 5 mile run, an hour long hike, or a quick game of fetch...he is always go, go, go..and its thanks to you guys at zukes for making such a healthy suppliment to his diet. also, your products are the only that josh will, without fail, go through allllll his tricks without asking, ensuring he gets one! :p so, thanks again, and maybe we will see you out on the trails if you are ever in connecticut! - the babington family (ian, gail, & josh)
My chow, karma was diagnosed with joint pain. The vet put him on meds, i tried other treats, he wouldn't eat them-they were hard wafers. Today i received the zuke's & he loves them!! they are softer & chewy-he thinks they are a treat! thank you...
I just started my akita allie (5yrs) on hipaction treats. She has had 2 acl surgeries in the past 8 months. She is scheduled to have the 1st knee redone. I can see some improvement in just 1 week on this treat, but surgery is still needed. I hope that a regular regimine of zuke's will help both her knees heal and get stronger. I miss my painfree pup and our long walks. I'll keep you posted on allie's progress...keeping fingers crossed and hipaction near by! her sister maggie, a 10 yr old border collie enjoys the treats too. But she hasn't slowed down a bit.
As glucosamine has helped my aching joints, i thought it might help my 12 y.o. Border collie lizzie's arthritic wrist and hips. but, lizzie hated the human glucosamine pills and powders i tried to give her. However, she loves hip action treats, and i think they may be helping ease her pain and stiffness--at the very least, this picky eater thoroughly enjoys the daily treat.
Mayzee loves treats but ever since the petfood recall i have been nervous about giving them to her. then i found natural purrz, which are made in the usa from usa ingredients... I am thrilled! i was worried that my finicky mayzee wouldn't like them, but she loves them! thank you so much for making high quality treats in the usa!!!!!
We have an 8 year old wolf husky mix who has had hip problems now for several years, and recently my wife found the zukes hip action product, well after using it for about 5 days the old girl is running, and jumping and playing with our other dog, and she likes these treats, but hated the glucosamine pills the vet gave her. thanks for a great product and keep up the good work. the ritchey family
Tidus is the wonderful new addition to our family. training has been difficult because we couldn't find a treat he would actually pay attention to(we have bought and given away over six different kinds in just the last week!)--let alone eat! yesterday, we found these chicken mini naturals and decided to give them a try. what a godsend!! not only does he like them, he gets excited just hearing the bag open! thank you thank you thank you!!!! :)
Zoey and ivan,berners who are therapy dogs visit disabled children and adults, hospitals and nursing homes and ivan performs many tricks for the residents always being rewarded by any and all flavors of your mini naturals. Zoey who is older has realised that if she sits next to me when i am training ivan on new tricks that i slip her treats for doing nothing. What a life she has!!the treats are so nice and small and ivan learnt how to open and close drawers and cupboards, turn lights on etc etc all the time loving your treats. He is very food motivated. Thanks for such a great product and i have recomended them to the rest of our therapy group members. Christine
We run long distance and our mommie always has powerbones available. Even lobo the couch potato will do tricks for them. We don't know if the bone improve our performance (mommie says we are so much happier with them) but we sure love the powerbones. Thanks for making our mommie discvover them turbo and chico, the long distance athlete we are a husky and an australian cattledog/lab mix, the rest of the gang are huskies, except for mommie who's a human, but we don't hold that aginst her
Been buying these for a while now. Well worth the price and my labbies absolutely love them! i like that they break into smaller pieces for training. the z filets really get a strong reaction from the puppy. thanks for a great product.
We have two chocholate labs. dexter is 100+lbs and needs help on the long hikes! zukes does the trick every time!!!!
I started my border collie, bandit, on zuke's hipaction in jan 2005. I had found the product on the shelf of a local pet supply store. bandit had gotten to the point he would no longer run as a slow trot was his best speed. after 3 weeks on hipaction, bandit was back running, following me on my horse, exploring, and playing with my other border collie. bandit recently has started to have strokes which have slowed him down considerably. after each bout, the first thing he would start to eat was his hipaction. i know my old dog soon will not always recover from these strokes, as old age is quickly catching up with him. his last couple years will have been with a much better quality of life due to zukes. i would advise this product to anyone who has an old dog as these furry companions have certainly earned all we can do for them.
I have 5 shelties ranging in age from 6 to 10 years. three years ago my oldest dog was having difficulty with stairs and jumping onto my bed. I reviewed many products for joint support and decided to try the zuke's hip action treats. Within 2 weeks sparkle showed marked improvement in mobility. After 4 weeks she was like a young dog again! i now have all of my shelties - sparkle, tori, magic, morgan and emma - on zuke's hip action treats. they love the taste and i couldn't be happier with the results. i work at a pet food store and recommend zukes hip action treats to all our customers. Thank you for such a wonderful product.
My vizsla loves zukes hip action treats so much that even in a taste test with his favorite treats (people food included) zukes wins every time. he doesn't even wait for commands but completes every trick he knows to get a zukes. this breed can get crazy when they want to be and zukes treats makes him nuts.
As a professional pet trainer and veterinary behavior technician it can be difficult to find something every pet likes that is easy to work with. zuke's mini naturals fit the bill perfectly! they are the perfect size for training and i have yet to have dog turn them down. Even cats appear from thin air when they get a whiff! my clients also appreciate that the treats their pets receive are all natural, healthy and can be purchased online or locally. thank you zuke's from myself, my patients and my pets!
Just trying the hip action treats now and will hope for the best in my little scottish terrier.
My two black labs ignored me before my friend, dimps, sent me some zuke's hip action. Now, instead of calling their names, i yell out "zuke's" and they come flying across the pastures! there is not a trace of soreness in either dog...i think i'll start eating them, too!
Holly, our 13 year old mini schnauzer will only eat zuke's power bones to get her day started. she has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy. her appetite has become very particular yet she waits for her zuke's power bone treats every morning. when all else fails, she still wants to eat her zuke's!
My 3 year old shih-tzu/bichon hurt her leg 2 years ago jumping off my parents' 2nd story balcony (i assume she thought she could fly - i still haven't figured that one out). since then, she limps after a long walk to the park, which we enjoy so much. She's such a picky eater and knows how to eat her way 'around' pills so the glucosamine tablets don't work and are terribly expensive. I found a crunchy treat which she liked quite a bit but she would still get stiff sometimes after a run. During an out-of-town trip we ran out of our 'leg treats'. I found zuke's hip action chews at a pet store in winnipeg and we'll never go back to the old ones. She absolutely loves the flavour and soft texture and they work like a charm. she hasn't limped or been stiff after our walk since. Thank you zukes!!!
I am so happy we found your jerky naturals. we have a 15 year old papillion who was a rescue from a puppy mill. we got him when he was 7. he has always been in poor health, heart disease, liver and kidney disease and cancer. over the years his appetite has been very poor and he continued to lose weight. there were many days that he would refuse to eat at all. I have tried everything trying to find something he would eat. he loves the the jerky treats. there are days when that is all i can get him to eat. thank you, i am sure this is contributing to his still being with us. Could you make a dog food that tastes like the jerky?
My dog birkie is nearly 15 years old. Last july she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She has lost a lot of weight and it's been difficult to get her to eat, even though her doggie hospice diet consists of freshly cooked meat, poultry and eggs, she often balks at her meals. That problem has been remedied with your wondrous new treats : mean greenz. All we have to do is to top off the burger or eggs with a few mean greenz and she will start eating. She ends up eating her entire meal frequently wanting more to eat after wards. Birkie is also a big fan of her daily dose of "hip action". We really believe that your treats have enhanced birkie's quality of life since her cancer diagnosis. We are thrilled and grateful. We love zukes! thank you.
After planning our puppy adoption for the last year, in august, my husband & i finally got maeby. She is a gorgeous beagle pup, and we have been in love with her from the moment we met. Maeby had some belly bug problems about a week after she came home with us. Her stomach would get puffy with gas, and she wouldn't eat much throughout the day. Turned out, maeby had hookworms & roundworms.enter zuke's mean greenz! we broke the treats in half, and she munched them with breakfast, lunch and dinner! i think the fruit and green veggies, in conjunction with her antibiotics really helped her bounce back quickly. We decided a long time go that we really wanted only high quality nutrition for our fur-baby- thank you so much for creating it & making it available- we love zuke's!
I had started giving moe bland traditional puppy treats, he was ok with them but i wasn't. I wanted something good for him but it also had taste great and thats how i found zuke's. The all natural ingreadients makes me confident in what i'm feeding him and it makes him more than happy when treat time comes around. For moe it was love at first bite!
My two havanese puppies love mini bakes. i got the turkey 'n taterz, and it's the only dog biscuit i've found that they both get excited about. they're great for training because my little kody and halle will do just about anything to get one. they're the perfect size for daily training without overfeeding smaller dogs. thank you so much for all you wonderful products.
I have a siberian husky, i tried peanut butter 'n blue berryz last week, i was surprise to be honest how affordable is and how great the ingredients are, my dog is allergic to chicken, chicken fat and chicken broth, most of the treats out there has any of this three ingredients that my dog can't have so is a challenge to get something good for him because he gets bored really quick too, but since he tried the mini bakes, he will do anything to get a treat, and he loves them. I love this product i would never buy anything else but this. I love it !!!!!! i would reconmend it to anybody.
My ancient fox terrier loves the hip action, and i love the fact that her limp has improved! thanks!
My 4 year old peke was diagnosed with arthritis in her back knee a few months ago. she has been lethargic ever since, we have even had to carry her up and down the steps. the medicine that the vet recommended was very strong...she would have to get her liver and kidneys checked every month for signs of organ failure! i couldn't do that so i have spect alot of time carrying her around. a few weeks ago my sister sent me a package of zukes treats after i told her about boo's problem. i can't believe the change! she is running around outside like wildfire and runs up the steps - no problem. she is even jumping up on the couch again! thank you for making our boo happy again.
Just started my boys, 3 and 12 yrs old dachsies and a 4 yr old jack russell on hip action. i came across a vendor selling your products at an agility trial and passing out free samples. needless to say all the boys loved them. i also give the jack power bones for agility training. keep up with your great products.
It's been a year since i was told my baby had bad hips. She was placed on pain medicine and became a very sleepy dog that didn't want to go for her walks anymore. my niece came by just about a month ago and gave me your hip action treats in the beef and chicken. she say to try her on these aunt linda well i thought what could it hurt. Lucky got the chicken in the morning and the beef at night. My baby is back to her old self. thanks to zuke's she loving going on long walks again and she's not in pain anymore.
My 11 year old golden retriever, arizona, was beginning to slow down quite a bit and when the vet confirmed arthritis in his hips i was worried about my favorite hiking and skiing partner. he's been on hip action treats for 3 months now, and although they can't make him faster or work miracles, i see a noted and quite strong improvement in his lack of stiffness and pain after a long day on the trail. he loves the treats and i strongly feel that they are allowing him to be as active as he always has, ensuring that he will enjoy the last several years of his life to the fullest. thanks zukes!
Hello, my dog is only 6 months old. For about three months she has had problems standing up and she has even just fallen over. I have taken her to many vets and since she doesnt do this everyday they dont see anything wrong with her. A woman in asheville, nc told me about your treats that contain glucosamine. I hope they atleast help alittle. I hate to see her in pain and get no help.
My sister got zuke's hipaction treats for my 1 year old golden retriever with hip dysplasia for christmas, and it was the best present cooper could have received! cooper has much more energy, not to mention she is finally acting like a puppy! it is good to see her with so much energy, but i liked the fact that i missed the terrrible two's becuase she never had the energy to chew...man has that changed! she has been feeling much better since she has been enjoying the treats! too bad she has no idea, they are helping her with her terrible hip problems. thanks so much!!!! kylee puyear and cooper
When i adopted my border collie mix, anna, she was so stiff with arthritus, she acted like a dog twice her age. the vet first put her on steroids, and then metacam. but i didn't like giving her such strong medication. then i tried zuke's hip action. by the end of the first bag she was running, and acting like a puppy!! i am so happy!! it has been 6 months and she's still going strong! thanks for such a high quality product. regards, carolyn
Back in april 07, i went away on a 4 day business trip. when i returned home i found my 10 year old sheltie-collie mix in a miserable condition. i though that someone had beat him and broke his back. he could not get up or move. he just laid there and cried when he saw me. he seemed fine when i left. i questioned my wife and kids but they told me he seem a little slow on that morning but nothing had happen as far as they knew. this dog constantly was up and down stairs, up and down from the bed so my best guess was that he missed a step and got hurt. i took him to the vet and that’s when i got educated on hip dysphasia. x-rays show me the joints and what was going on. he gave my dog some glusosamine and some pain medicine but he did respond well to the pills. i knew he wouldn't. my dog never liked treats of any sorts and anytime he needed pills they had to be in small pieces wrapped in bread. i started researching and found zuke's hip action. i ordered the first bag of beef flavored in mid-may hoping that my dog would eat them. when they first arrived, he ate the first 4 or 5 i gave him but it was time for his flea/tic treatment which always makes him sick enough to loose his appetite for a few days and unfortunately that meant he would have nothing to do with the treats even after feeling better. i wanted to know if the treats would work since he was in so much pain, i didn't give up. i ordered the bag of peanut butter flavor and when they arrived, i promptly pulled one out the bag and put a dab of jelly on it, shoved it in his mouth and down the hatch. it is now august 12, 2007 and he's been eating them every day along with the power bones that i have started giving him. he is still a 10 year old dog and not a puppy, he is smart enough not to jump up on the bed although he has when he got real excited once - he knows it hurts coming down. He has slowed down on the steps but he has no problems with them. he runs after the bunnies in the yard in the morning and has no trouble getting up. he is not in the pain of a few months ago and we owe it all to zuke's hip action. i have not over stated the facts nor have i embellished on the results. this is the truth, it helped me and my dog marty, and if you give it to your dog, i believe it will help you too.. be faithful in giving it to your dog and don't expect results in a couple of days.
My sheltie (who just turned 9 last month) was having trouble with arthritis in her hips and had to pull herself up with her front paws. she preferred lying on her bed to playing or going for walks. i tried the hip action treats with her about 9 months ago and she loves them and has so much more pep and energy. she truly is a different dog from a year ago. thank you for giving her another chance at life.
Gemini, my lab/dobie mix loves power bones. he goes hiking with me every weekend and always makes it through the whole hike without problem. sometimes, the hikes are as long as 10 miles round trip. i keep power bones handy to keep him going. superior product. thanks for keeping my dog healthy and happy.
We have two chocholate labs. dexter is 100+lbs and needs help on the long hikes! zukes does the trick every time!!!!
My dog has been an avid powerbone lover for years. We miss the big bars, but love hip action! please, please bring back the powerbone t-shirts. My old-faithful is nearly a rag!
I first found your powerbones treats at one of the mast general stores while on vacation. I bought one bag, and tyke, my labradoodle puppy, is crazy for them! they are a wonderful training treat, because tyke will do just about anything to get one more! (including stealing the bag off the kitchen counter!) she is just starting agility work, and they make a wonderful reward on the course, or at home. Keep making them - tyke will keep eating them!!!!
Hi folks, we were recently on vacation in az, hiking the grand canyon sans dogs, and when we were in flagstaff we found the perfect souvenir for our dogs, power bones. They, the dogs, love them, and today after a long run addie and jakey refueled with power bones. They both gave them "paws up", and still heve energy to play. Thanks for the great product we will be getting more. dwight, carla, addie, and jakey
Our dog, dixie, has been our faithful companion during our long marathon training runs. We were looking for something to give her as fuel without upsetting her stomach, and stumbled across power bones. Since then, we've been giving her power bones before and during the runs and she has had a noticable increase in energy! last week, we all completed 20 miles and dixie, fueled by power bones, had the most energy left of us all! thank you zukes, for a great product!!!
Atlas is my 3-legged pit bull partner in crime... Together we tackle the trails usually every weekend. she has a thing for peanut butter, and has been lucky enough to have taste tested just about every pb flavored treat on the market. hands down (err, paw down?) zuke's pb power bars are the treat of choice. We have also started supplementing with with glucosamine treats, and have sent a care package off to her "older brother", bo, the lab-basset who has gone into retirement with my mom. it's hard enough finding tasty, healthy, human snacks, let alone dog treats... Thanks for the yummy stuff! crystal & atlas
Zuke's, you're the best! my owners just got back from a visit to taos new mexico and surprized me with some of your peanut butter power bones. I love them. Running the beaches can wear me down but my mom always brings treats for me and yours really keeps me truckin'. Thanks for making a great product. Your pal perry.
Holly, our 13 year old mini schnauzer will only eat zuke's power bones to get her day started. she has cancer and is receiving chemotherapy. her appetite has become very particular yet she waits for her zuke's power bone treats every morning. when all else fails, she still wants to eat her zuke's!

My dog is four month old cockapoo with allergies and a very picky eater, but when i open the first pack of peanut butter mini naturals and the lamb jerky it was amazing to see how much he loved the flavor, he even ate the first bag of mini naturals in two hours, i know it was a bit too much but he could't stop eating them. Well we are both happy, he enjoys tasty treats, and i don't have to worry about allergies anymore. Zuke's products are tasty and healthy. Healthyness,taste and love all combined in one pack of zuke's delightful treats
I used to think any treat was a treat to a dog. That is, until i spent countless dollars buying countless treats, only to have my dog turn her nose up at all of them. i had almost given up when i got a sample of zukes in the mail included in an order i had placed. chloe goes crazy for these treats and they make training very easy as a result!
We were vacationing in south lake tahoe, ca a few weekends ago and we found "mini naturals" at a local pet store. We brought them home for our chocolate tri~color beagle, chelsea, and she loves them. They are small enough to fit into her goodie ball, and they're a terrific reward for good behavior on hikes around oroville lake! thanks for the fabulous product. ~the wilcox family
I'm keiko, a yorkie-lhasa and now standing happy, healthy and balanced at 1 1/2 yrs. mom adopted me at 6 mths. Prior to this i had never received any tlc, training or basic care. I certainly wasn't familiar with "treats" and in fact, not that interested in them at all... So this became a challenge for my mom in terms of training and simply wanting to offer me a treat. nonetheless, in my mom's attempt to find something i might like, we came acros zuke's. She was immediately drawn to the appeal of freshness, healthy ingredients and size. i wasn't quite sure since i didn't know exactly what is was we were shopping for. that night, armed with zuke's mini naturals, mom began our daily training session. To our surprise.. The flavor was amazing, just my size and i loved them!! we were both really excited that i had found a great tasting treat that i liked - mom just let me enjoy without any training or tricks! next day, we got serious! i now know sit, left paw & right paw, down, sit-up, stand-up, stop & stay, roll-over (just for fun) and numerous calls that my mom taught me to keep me out of danger and living a healthy, full and fun life. mom credits zuke's in helping me achieve where i am today but i've got to tell you, while i love my zuke's... Mom's great, gives me lots of tlc and is certainly dialed into what i love. i now know "treats" and there are treats... And then there's zuke's.... A big difference in my world. paws up! keiko
Zoey and ivan,berners who are therapy dogs visit disabled children and adults, hospitals and nursing homes and ivan performs many tricks for the residents always being rewarded by any and all flavors of your mini naturals. Zoey who is older has realised that if she sits next to me when i am training ivan on new tricks that i slip her treats for doing nothing. What a life she has!!the treats are so nice and small and ivan learnt how to open and close drawers and cupboards, turn lights on etc etc all the time loving your treats. He is very food motivated. Thanks for such a great product and i have recomended them to the rest of our therapy group members. Christine
My two pugs stella and winston love mini naturals. i buy both the chicken and peanut butter flavor. they are litter box trained and get a mini each time they use the litter box. we haven't had an accident in a long time.
These treats are the very best for training your puppy/dog. my ludo (a mixed terrier) will do just about "anything" if she thinks it will get her one of your treats. if she sees me pick up the bag she automatically sits without me even having to give her the command. thank you so much for providing nutritious and fun treats for dogs.
My hungarian puli named dalgo loves the chicken flavor. He's only 12 weeks and i have him fetching, sitting, laying down, rolling on his back and waiting for me to tell him to take the treat. He can't get enough of the mini's. it's helped training so much. thanks aaron
Zuke's mini naturals are great clicker training treats as they are small and not messy to have in your pocket or training pouch. thanks for making such an easy to use yet "high value" taste for dog training!
I have two human children to whom i only feed natural, organic food. then we got a puppy, and i had a hard time finding a dog treat that i considered "natural enough" to feed to my dog. During my search i was at a pet speciaty shop and found zuke's. my dog luna loves eating them as rewards during training, and i love that they are helping her to stay a healthy puppy.
We train dogs here at the sanger powers correctional center. the dogs eventually go to the handicapped. Our primary training technique is positive reinforcement, where we reward the dogs when they respond to the given command. they really love zukes treats and are eager to please, knowing that they are going to get a zuke when they respond.
My cavalier king charles spaniel, sophie, who is one year old loves zuke's jerky naturals. They work very well in her training class.
The dogs go crazy over these treats. I've used many similar products and have never seen the dogs get so excited about something so healthy. The puppers say "thanks"
Just bought my first bag of jerky naturals and already my 10 week old golden seems to love them. Thanks for a quality product. Any place local i can find them. joan and molly
Our pomeranian, sonny, loves zuke's jerky treats. They've helped out so much with training. I've tried to use other treats with training, but he just looks at me like i'm crazy. It's also great to know that what i'm feeding him isn't junk. Thanks for such a great product. Sonny thanks you, too!
I needed a treat to take with me when maggie the pitbull and i do pet therapy at the hospital, these jerky treats do the trick and don't get crumbs everywhere. Plus, i put them inside her kong toy and she actually wants to work at getting them out.
I found the jerky naturals at a pet store in vermont, when i was visiting friends at killington. They're awesome. My pittbull/rottweiler mix has a bad time processing any beef, wheat, corn, and a lot of other foods, so i was extremely excited to find a treat that had none of the products that he can't eat. Dionysus just can't get enough of them. Thank you!!!
My pug scooter has allergies and a thyroid condition. many other "premium" treats would lead to allergic reactions, but not so with the jerky naturals. Scooter is a very picky eater and loves these treats. I break them up into several pieces and put it into his kong. i have also found the jerky naturals can also be crumbled and reformed around pills to give my dog medication.
I am so happy we found your jerky naturals. we have a 15 year old papillion who was a rescue from a puppy mill. we got him when he was 7. he has always been in poor health, heart disease, liver and kidney disease and cancer. over the years his appetite has been very poor and he continued to lose weight. there were many days that he would refuse to eat at all. I have tried everything trying to find something he would eat. he loves the the jerky treats. there are days when that is all i can get him to eat. thank you, i am sure this is contributing to his still being with us. Could you make a dog food that tastes like the jerky?
My 12 week old rottweiler loves lamb jerky naturals. just knowing she will get one has made her learn to go outside. she has also learned to sit, paw and lay down knowing that this is her reward!
I've never seentokyo, my 8.5 month-old boston terrier, prouder or happier than when she was given a z-ridge dental bone! normally, she's not posessive about her toys or treats, but she carried this bone around the house whimpering and whining for lack of a good enough hiding place for her tastey new prize. it warmed my heart so much, i couldn't even speak! i don't even care what it does to her breath--it makes her so happy, i will be giving her a z-ridge bone as often as i can!! thanks for making her (and my) day!!
I bought one of the new cranberry z-ridges for my dogs to share. however, it turned out to be so good, one of my dogs refused to share. It brought out a side of my dog's personality i had never seen! he was obsessed with it. I'm convinced it's "doggie crack."
I have a 2 year old flat coated retriever, named cole. He has a very sensitive stomach and grains are not a good thing in our house. well, i've been looking for a wonderful chew that wasn't too expensive and that would some what last with a power chewer. I had been giving him nylabones, but even they wouldn't last too long. i picked up a z-ridge bone because i caught my eye; and i have been giving him the mini's as training treats so i knew that your products were easy on his stomach. And boy, cole went nuts! he started sniffing it and trying to bite it out of my hand, with the paper still on it, while we were in the pet store. So i bought that instead of the nylabone, and i have a very happy dog lying at my feet.
My dog, maui is suffering from some kind of wheat allergy. i found the z-ridge bones at her groomers and decided to try one...she loved it so much that she carried it around the house with her for an hour, then she ate it. her breath smells wonderful, and i'm happy that i can give her something to chew, and freshen her breath, that won't cause her to break out in hives! thank you so much!
While visiting a three dog bakery, i stumbled upon your z-ridge fresh breath dental chew bones. my dog has multiple allergies including wheat which are found in many similar chews. i took the bone home and piper loved it. thanks for developing a wheat-free chew bone! we will be purchasing your product again!
Hey pat, i wanted to thank you for making such awesome pet treats! i know they are totally healthy, high quality, and gaging by the dogs' drool, they must taste pretty darn great too! when i even say the word zukes, it registers off the "tail-wagging/ears perking up/happy panting" scale with my dogs! tybal (rott/german shep) and teva (lab/pitt), get zukes during and/or after our daily hikes in the sandia foothills to fuel up or refuel but also just because they are sweetie pies. the beef jerky naturals are their favorites although they love all of the mini naturals too! these make excellent training treats. i used to have to break up a treat into smaller pieces, but now i jsut give them the minis since they are convenient, plus nutritious, moist and delicious (i am assuming they are delicious ... I've actually never tried them myself!) i recently gave them the new z-ridge bones and they immediately went to their separate spots in the yard to feast and to guard their treasures. they get very selfish when it comes to their zukes! i love that the z-ridge bones are healthy, keep their teeth clean and their breath fresh! thanks again and keep up the great work!
Hi! i was recently introduced to zukes bones for my shiba inu, sushi. sushi has a sensitive tummy, but is fine with zukes bones! and, he loves them! he spins in anticipation of receiving one, lol. thank you for making such a great product! bonnie & sushi
My yellow lab sprocket loves pretty much any food, but she goes nuts over zuke's z-ridge dental bones. She would eat them every night if i let her and sits and stares at the closet where i keep them in the hopes that i will break own and give her another one. Seriously, she loves these bones! i love that they are good for her and make her teeth clean and her breath smell fresh. Thanks zukes!
I just wanted to say thanks for making such great products. My whippet, leo, was not a food motivated dog. Now with the assistance of the mini naturals, he is has exelled at obedience training. leo would also like to comment on how much he loves the z-ridge dental bones. He has tried other "dental treats" but these are his favourites. He refuses go to bed at unless he has one. we would both like to thank you for making healthy treats to keep furkids healthy and happy.
I have a little shitzu named dutch. I was giving him a lot of different brands of chew bones but every time he developed some skin allergy from them. Since i started to buy z-ridge he has had no rash or itchiness at all. He likes this bone so much that as soon as i give it to him he disappears with it till it is gone. Thank you very much for developing the product that makes my dog so happy.
My little maltese is in love with your chicken filets!!! if it was up to her, she would eat the whole bag! thanks for making great products for our beloved pets!
I bought the beef z filets in nyc while on vacation. what parent doesn't bring back a present for their child? i'm glad to find they are sold locally too because casey went nuts over them. i gave him a small piece and walked away only to find him sitting staring up at the bag on the cabinet. I gave him another piece. it took two extra pieces to satisfy him. he likes his treats but not like this. i'm off to buy more tomarrow morning. and some dogs i know are going to get some for christmas. dew claws up!
Always the best! zuke's has been a treat favorite for me for over a year. My pet parents are never without your treats. And i am glad they are made with great stuff and only from the usa. Never a day do i go without one of my favorite zuke's. I hear the treat door open and know i am in for my daily zukie. Thanks for all you do for us dogs, oh and those cats too. Paws up, trixie.
The dogs go crazy over these treats. I've used many similar products and have never seen the dogs get so excited about something so healthy. The puppers say "thanks"
I have been giving my newfoundland the mini naturals since she was a very small pup. Great for training. she loves them! but i could not believe her reaction when the vets office gave her the glazed chicken z filets. Wow! she went crazy and can't get enough! thanks for changing it up for her!
Our 5lb yorkie puppy was snubbing most treats and our groomer suggested glazed chicken z-filets.... Wow were they a hit. Everytime he hears the bag open he gets excited. We are even able to break it up into small pieces so the bag lasts a while and they fit perfectly into his tiny mouth. Thank you for such a wonderful product. They even smell good too!
My husband and discovered your venison filets while shopping on vacation at the outerbanks of north carolina. We had to find our beagle daisy something good,since we couln't bring her on vacation.(a little guilt on our part). She went nuts over them.can't wait to try more of your products!
Our older shelter-chihuahua had very few teeth left when we got her so she can't eat hard snacks. She's also just crazy for chicken and after many trials and errors we finally found the only snack she will eat- the chicken z-filets. The princess loves the taste and they can be broken into small pieces for the seniors. Thank you!
Our 13 year old cat, fairyin, was taking glucosamine in the form of liquid added to her food daily and even though she didn't like the taste of it she would eat it anyway because she knew it was making her able to walk good again. now, with your hip action cat treats she gets her daily glucosamine plus the needed chondroitin as well and she absolutely loves the taste of the treats!! it makes me really happy to see her gobble them up and watch her get to enjoy her morning soft food again without that yucky liquid remedy in it. forever grateful to you all for this "miracle" product!! thanks tons!!
About 4 months ago dickens fell from his window perch when the velcro let loose. I did not know he was injured or if he had arthritis setting in his hind hips. He is 14 yrs old now and weighs 13 lbs. A friend of mine was out in co and told me about zukes hip action for cats. I purchased some right away when the vet said it looked like arthritis. he was at the point of not sleeping with me because he would not jump up on the bed, he would just flop on the floor and fall sideways to lie down, he would not do anything that would make him jump up on anything even his favorite places to sleep. I felt so sad i was afraid i would have to put him down if things got much worse. i started him on hip action about 3 weeks ago, and within 1 week he began to improve. Within 3 weeks of taking it and the natural purrz, he is back to his normal self , running, jumping, playing, purring and sleeping with me once again. while the vet said he has some cataracts even his eyes are clear and bright and he is so happy. So am i!! this is the best product i have even seen on the market and i hope it never goes away! jeanne and dickens
Our cat edgar lived in los angeles with us. When we decided to move to san francisco he was ten years old. The move was hardest on him. He settled into his new environment, but the cooler climate really took its toll on him. He constantly seemed achy and didn't seem to be getting around as easily as he once did. We discovered hip action at our neighborhood pet store and figured if glucosamine did such wonders for older people it might be worth a try for him. After a few weeks he was like a whole different cat. His mobility came back and he's been feeling good since. We even noticed that when we went on vacation and had a friend looking after him his hip action must not have been given to him as we had asked because not only was the bag that should have completed not completed while we were gone but he was also acting rather achy again. We resumed his normal feeding of hip action and within a week we saw him back to his normal self. Thanks so much for making such a life changing product for our cat!
My dogs and cats went crazy for the treats i brought home from the natural products expo. where can i find them in the san fernando valley? you are doing a great job!
I have been trying to get glucosamine in my cat for several years. when i tried mixing the "common brand" in her food, fineky that she is, she just wouldn't have any part of it, and i just about gave up. she will soon be 21, and her hind legs are now frail. i saw your treats and started her on them - she absolutely loves them. after only 5 days, i thought my imagination and hope were playing tricks on me because i thought i saw an improvement. but, yes, it was true, and i can't believe it! her legs are so, so much better now. thank you for such a wonderful product - i just wish i would have found it long ago!
This is absolutely a great prodcut for older cats, pokie my 23 year old senior citizen kitty absolutely loves them and they really make a big difference in his mobility..he has been taking them for quite a while and still hops up on the bed and window sills, he loves the taste of them, looks forward to eating them and we look forward to having him with us for more years to come. Thank you for making a pet product that makes a difference. P.s. They work so well for pokie...can you make something for a 52 year old guy??
My nephew has been promoting glucosamine & chondroitin for stiff, arthritic limbs of our cats jumper (19) and maggie (16)since he had good results with his collie on drug store vitamins. a recent vacation to the carolinas found us in a mast general store and in front of a table full of your fine products and they are made specifically for dogs and cats! cats at an advanced age like these two can be extremely finicky eaters but i thought this worth a try. wow!! maggie has turned her nose up at every treat set in front of her for 5 years and jumper can pick a prescription pill out of any treat or food. they are both jumping on hind legs at the sound of the bag after 1 week. they must like something here! the humidity of summer is jumpers rough time of year as his hips and rear legs stiffen. we'll keep a very close eye on how he responds here, and if this standing on hind legs continues and if maggie keeps on eating then i guess you will have a loyal new customer family! also-thanks for a very helpful website. good to know there are local stores carrying your products and that i can order direct if i need to. will let you know how jumper and maggie do with "hip action" over time. thanks fred wordell
Out senior cat java, was a leaper when she was young, but over the past year has really shown her age and slowed down. We have had to add "cat stairs" for her to get up to her favorite perches. We found hip action at our local "chic" pet supply store after trying every other glucosamine product on the market. Java, has never been driven by food, so it is hard to trick her into eating a tablet in the place of her precious "cookies". She was wary at first- different consistancy- then she gobbled them up. And after reading all the wonderful testimonials on your site, i sent away for several more (including the salmon flavor which our store did not have.) it has only been a few weeks, but we have noticed a difference in her ability to jump down again. Thanks for making a treat that is a good as any medicine on the market and that she loves to eat! we showed your info to her vet today, and he was thrilled. Good job.
We have a 17 year old cat, josi. after the whole pet food recall, we had been hesitant to give her any treats. when you read the back label on the mainstream treats, it is really gross. animal digest??? no way! josi has leaned out over the years and seems to at times have trouble with her back hips. after researching your product, we brought home hip action. little miss, is in love! she has a new 'loud' meow for a treat. after being on them for a few weeks, we have noticed that she has a new spring in her step. we are so happy to have found a treat that she loves, that is good for her. thank you!
Schmelly is 17 and had lost a lot of the spring in her step. She rarely jumped up on anything, anymore. We tracked down your hip action and wow, what an improvement. Her hips have put on muscle, she does not yip when she tries to settle and she is jumping up where she has not been in years. We feed her quality food but this suppliment has given her a new lease on life. Thanks zuke's
Our cat-owning neighbors here in washington,dc, who just happen to be research doctors at the u.s. National institutes of health in nearby bethesda, maryland, two months ago recommended that we try zuke's hip action natural cat treats with our 16-year feline, who was markedly slowing down and refraining from climbing stairs in our 4-story townhouse home. one of the neigbors' cats, buster, is even older at 19 as compared to our rugby, who is 16. zuke's hip action with glucosamine and chondroitin had worked well with and for buster, so we took the neighbors'(and buster's) testimonial to heart and purchased our first packet of zuke's. as the packet states: "look for results within a month". we've gotten those great results with rugby, who now is up and down our four flights of stairs all the time. she sure is more active, both indoors and outdoors, and evidently enjoying the "new bounce" in her step. the bonus of essential vitamine and minerals in zuke's hip action natural cat treats has our - and rugby's - gratitude as well. we've purchased three more packets of hip action, to keep rugby supplied for several months. thank you indeed for providing a good and needed product. we just wish more stores, at least here in the washington, dc area, carried zuke's. our local petco's, for example, do not nor do at least two of the supermarket chains here.
My 12 year old cat with arthritis is so picky we could not get her to take any kind of glucosamine. while searching the web for other options, i found your hip action treats and and decided to give them a try. to my amazement, my cat loves them! thank you so much!
My 3 year old cat, hoots, was diagnosed with a knee displacia problem when she was just a year old. I was told that there was no guarantee that a surgury could even cure the problem and advised to use that option as a last resort. I found hip action treats a little over a year ago and my usually picky eater fell in love with them. I have since seen a marked improvement in her, i haven't seen her limping at all in well over 6 months and she is much more active and much happier than she used to be. I have been recommending this product to everyone i know with older cats or cats experiencing joint problems. Hootsy loves these so much that she 'reminds' us if we forget to give them to her...
Our fat cat max sadly fractured his hip over a year ago. amazingly, his body created a "false" hip joint to allow him movement. But he's really never has been the same since his injury. (for example he exceled at jumping feline jams with small basketballs!) the good news is since his introduction to "hip action" his activity level and his jammin' days have returned! we love the all natural ingredients and max gives his paw "up" seal of approval! thanks for all your help and excellent product! david, julia, and max!
Mr. Boo is 14 and has been getting arthritis in his hips. It was getting so bad he couldn't jump and even walking was obviously painful. The medications the vet gave him was helping a bit, but it was causing him to be listless and his coat was getting matted and coarse. We started him on 2 hip action treats per day and have been able to cut out the med's completely. He's running and jumping again with only a slight limp. His coat has improved dramatically and he seems much more alert and happy. His quality of life is better then it's been in years. our family thanks you for making this great and affordable product that is helping him so much.

At night, our three cats get their "kitty cookies." all i have to do is call "kitty cookies!" and shake the bag and they all come running. they get a mixture of cat hip action and purrz. after starting this, our oldest cat (16) is now jumping up to the kitchen counters again! to see her running around, you would never know she is that old, and my husband and i agree that hip action has definitely made a big difference in her mobility. on the doggy side, i use mini naturals for training our dogs (four of them) and power bones as "rewards" after running at an agility trial. they all love them, and i love the small size of the minis for training and the nutrition of power bones for recovery after a hard day of running. thanks for such great products!!!
I just got the cat hip action treats for my two cats. my cats love these!! i had tried 4 other products and they wouldn't touch any of them.

I just wanted to thank you for creating a product that i feel good about giving to my cat.
Our cat just loves the salmon natural purrz! we toss her treat back and forth in the air...and she jumps for it!
Hi there, it is a rare that i am inspired to write any company about a product, but after buying one bag of natural purrz i have to tell you how well your salmon purrz have gone over with our family cat. mia (our cat) is a huge fan, to put it lightly! i have never seen her respond to anything (including tuna out of a can) like she does with her salmon purrz, it is amazing! my six year old daughter has had more fun putting purrz in her pocket so the cat follows her around the house like the pied piper! congrats on making the first healthy treat that our cat goes crazy for. mia demands that we be loyal customers! regards, tony lottis
My cat is the pickest thing! she will only eat a few things, and the salmon flavored purrz are her favorite! thanks for making them!
I adopted my kitty when she was about 9 weeks old (she is now 2). She was abandoned at 4 weeks and came from a litter of 9 kittens. I love her to death, but i must say she is horribly misbehaved. She lives for food, any food at all and it is a struggle to maintain her weight on her 6 pound tiny little frame. She loves these treats. She would give up a swim in the dogs water bowl, a climb up the curtains, a swing on the pool table lights, or even batting an ornament off the counter for just one of these treats. Amazing product and i love the fact they are natural. Thank you so much for giving me back a moment of sanity each time she is busy eating one of these treats. Next, you should make bones for cats. Long lasting chewing bones! it would save a fight or two between the cat and dog! thanks again!
The salmon are his favorite treats ever, although i'm sure he'd demolish any other flavour i give him. He never refuses these treats, and always inhales them waiting for the next one! thank you so much for making my kitty a happy one!
Having four little furbabies makes for a very difficult time find treats that they all like...the savory salmon is a huge hit with all!! my weemer even opens my desk drawer to get them himself. Thank you so much for these great treats. -barbara c
James loves zukes so much he often brings me the bag so he can have some.
We just adopted our 2nd persian (both rescued from kitten mills). She's about 5 and spent most of her life in a cage. She was so timid & spent her first week in hiding...until i brought home a package of zuke's purrz! as soon as i opened the package and got closer, she crawled out to get a sniff... We left a trail all the way to a sunny window/open area. She inhaled every one. In the last 3 weeks we started hiding them around the house & she loves discovering where they are hidden! now both cats gently approach and put a paw on our arm...purrz please!! great product! sincerely, mikey (2years) & dharma (3 years) thank you from the bottom of their heart (stomach!)
My two little guys have always loved their kitty treats. unfortunately, the ingredients in those treats are absolutely awful. i just recently discovered your product. i was thrilled after reading the content info., but didn't think my cats would like the treats, as they've not responded well to any other "natural" or "organic" foods. i'm happy to report, i was wrong. they love their new treats. your brand will be the only one they'll be eating from now on. thank you!!!!!!!
