Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program One of the first things I noticed was the National Animal Supplement Seal (NASC) on the front of this package. I've always been very particular about what I feed my animals and that extends to any sort of supplements and treats. The NASC seal "is a way for consumers to know that when they buy a product, they buy from a reputable company that has successfully completed a facility audit. Different from the NASC logo, use of the Seal is a privilege for members and signifies that the company has been audited for implementation of specific standards." After reading this I was assured that this product would be up to my finicky standards as well.
I have one dog who is getting on in years and I've been giving her a "people" pill that contains glucosamine, MSM & chondrotin. It's usually tossed into her food at mealtime, but she's definitive a gal who likes treats and accepted these chews readily. In order to prevent stomach upset, I'm giving one close to her mealtime 2x day. I know that this "formula" works because she is not licking her joints nor limping as much. The reason I wanted these chews in particular is that they are formulated specifically for dogs' needs, not people. They are in the shape of a small dog bone, which appeals to me at least.
For dogs up to 25 pounds you are instructed to give 1 chew daily. If you have a toy breed (I have one), I be inclined to consult my vet first as one size does not appear to fit all in this case. For 25 75 pounds, 2 3 chews are recommended and for over 75 pounds, 4 6 chews daily. There are only 45 chicken-liver flavored chews in the bag and if you want "quicker results," you would double the daily amount. This is not unlike dosing for people who are arthritic and on glucosamine, MSM & chondrotin and it can be rather pricey to start. I've also tried Pet Naturals Skin & Coat for Dogs with very satistactory results. Check out the math to see if these chews are worth looking into. I do like this company's products and, as I mentioned before, do have a marked preference toward a product specifically aimed toward dogs.
