The veterinary orthopedic surgeon who operated on my rescue puppy's (hmm) two knees thinks that this is the best glucosamine supplement on the market. He suggested we give it to both our dogs. He said there is no reason to wait until they are old and do have arthritis.

Both my puppies love the taste. It is their favorite morning treat.

While this product may indeed produce magnificent results as other reviewers state, I will never know because it is almost impossible to get my dog to eat them (even when coated with peanut butter or meat juice). My dog is NOT a picky eater usually, so I'm not sure why others are having so much success with this supplement when my dog won't even eat it when covered in food she normally loves. I gave it two stars for the nutritional value, but the flavor needs a huge improvement!

I've always wanted a hound. And, after buying my 1st home, I was able to finally get one! I did a lot of research and finally brought my new Black & Tan Coonhound home to join the family. All of my research prepared us to expect hip & joint problems when she got older, but she started showing alarming signs of discomfort shortly after her first birthday!! We started to notice that when it was cold she was very slow, and if something was too high (like the bed, or even, couch), she would put her front legs up and look back at us like she was asking for a lift up. She would almost never sit on command, instead doing a little dance from one back leg to the other. When she did sit she was noticeably uncomfortable, usually leaning to one side or the other.

At first I thought this was all due to her just being spoiled rotten and training us. After all, I thought, she was hardly a year old!! But then I started really watching, and knew it wasn't just that. After her trainers mentioned noticing something also, we took her in to the vet to have some x-rays taken, and find out what was going on. The x-rays showed plenty of worries to come. On one side, her bone was only seated 1/4 of the way in her hip socket, and the other bone was squarely shaped so didn't fit at all!! The vet told us she would definitely need surgery in her lifetime.

After her x-rays, we tried that Nature's Miracle, a powder supplement a friend had highly recommended that was available at the local pet store. It made her coat a bit shinier but I didn't notice much else. Then I found Synovi G3 here on Amazon and read some reviews. We were a bit concerned that all the reviews I had read were on much older dogs, but still decided to give it a try. We are SOOOO HAPPY we did!! Shortly after starting her on them, not only did her eyes and coat start to just completely change and shine brightly, but all of a sudden she was jumping up on things without hesitating, playing & wrestling with her brother like never before, and sitting on command before you could even get the "Sit!" out of your mouth!! Even offering them on her own! Her trainers have both commented repeatedly on how fantastic she looks, and were amazed at her willingness to follow commands now and her reaction time to them.

I just cannot begin to say enough good things about this stuff!!! My hound is a changed dog. Seriously. She has been on them almost 3 months now. We have bought a couple of the Synovi G3 Soft Chews 240 ct to stock up, and don't imagine taking her off them anytime soon. As long as she continues like this, she'll be on them the rest of her life!! We've even started giving it to our other dog. He is a mixed breed, and healthy as an ox, but we thought that after everything we've seen Synovi G3 do for her it couldn't hurt!! If any of you are wondering, I do not work for them, nor do I know anyone who does. This review has been written because it's an amazing product and has truly changed my 1.8-year old, 70 lb, Coonhound's life!!

This product has helped our 13 yr old Akita/lab. He gets around much easier and is able to do stairs again! Has given him a new "leap" on life.

My German Shepherd was experiencing hip problems already at 2 years old. I started her on the Synovi powder, and later switched to the SynoviG3 Soft Chews, and she stopped limping and having difficulty getting up. She is now 13 years old and still able to get around well. This product has made every difference in the world in her life!

Thanks!
