I don’t usually bother with reviews, but these results pretty much demanded it. Our 9-year-old shepherd mix is literally a different dog since starting to take these treats. For the past couple of years he’s been acting quite old – slow, not much energy, and often would have arthritic-type pain in his shoulders & hips. He would play for a couple of minutes and then lay down, totally uninterested in continuing. You could just see in his eyes that he was tired and old. A variety of supplements hadn’t done much, and we felt awful that all we could do was give him aspirin for the pain. We switched his food to one with higher glucosamine, but it didn’t make much of an identifiable difference. Last month, after he’d been significantly worse with shoulder & hip pains for a few weeks, I went online to research arthritis supplements and orthopedic pet beds (the last step before deciding to put him on medication). After reading reviews on these Zukes Hip Action treats, I decided to give them a shot and bought two bags on Amazon. OH MY GOODNESS!! It’s only been two weeks now, and I am BLOWN AWAY. He’s acting like a 5-year-old! He has more energy, he’s jumping again, and his eyes look so much happier! That’s the best part, to see him happy & excited again. Previously, it had been years since he would run with me any longer than about twenty minutes, and by the end of the run I would be dragging him behind me… this week I took him for a run and he went with me for an HOUR! And he was still ahead of me when we finished!! We’re so hopeful that he’ll be able to enjoy his ‘golden years’ without the misery of a poorly aging dog. I’m completely a believer in this product, and we’ll be giving them to every dog we ever own. (Plus, you just saved me a bundle on an expensive pet bed.)
