CAT Hip and Joint Glucosamine for Cats with Chondroitin and Opti-MSM Hyaluronic Acid for Improved Joint Flexibility and Pain Relief from Inflammation and Arthritis 2 floz

It has a strong odour of Soy Sauce. Cat walked away from his food no matter how little i put in his food. Do NOT recommend unless you pet loves the smell of soy sauce. Id give it 0 stars if i could.

I have a large 12-year-old cat with terrible arthritis in his hind legs. The medication the vet gave us didn't seem to do anything, even after 2 weeks of religiously dosing him twice per day. Before trying this product, Sierra (my cat) almost never came down stairs anymore, had stopped grooming himself (had to get him buzzed due to all the mats, and his intolerance of brushing), and spent nearly every hour of every day curled up under my desk. After 3 days of using this, we noticed Sierra was moving around a bit more. By day 4, he was going up and down the stairs throughout the day. By the end of the first week, he was stretching out instead of curling up to sleep, coming to us for attention, jumping up on our laps, and generally seeming bright-eyed and happy. Two weeks in now, we've finally seen him grooming his hind legs again for the first time in months. That was the ultimate sell for me. I will be reordering monthly, for the rest of his life or as long as this product is available. One note: he wouldn't eat his wetfood when I mixed this in with it, but it's easy enough to give him the 2 mL with a syringe. Also, Sierra has always had a VERY sensitive stomach (most medicines he's had to take throughout his life have made him throw up at least once) but this has NOT made him vomit even once, not even the few times I had to give it to him on a fairly empty stomach. Update: 2 years and it's still probably the closest thing to a miracle we've got for our old boy. The few times I've run out, I've noticed him decline again within a week, and after re-starting him on it, his mobility promptly returns. We have to puree his wet food now and give him vitamin B shots + omega 3 oil; old age has made his stomach extra sensitive- but mixing this joint supplement into the puree is easy and he seems to have developed a taste for it. I feel like the price has gone up but it's still worth every penny. It has definitely prolonged his ability to enjoy life. He climbs to the top of the cat tree every day to bask in the sunny window, and is still the first cat to chase me down the stairs in the morning :,-)

I buy this repeatedly for my cat(s). I used to have 6, but am sadly now down to one. This works great - especially for senior cats. It's clear that they feel better after having it. It's not difficult to administer, and I suspect the taste is pretty good as all the cats I've given it to actually seem to like it, Just dribble it in the mouth with the attached eye dropper. They take it nicely. I definitely noticed a little less stiffness in my cats and a bit more agility.

My 15-year-old kitty was constantly licking her lower legs, to the point of major hair loss. Thinking this was probably pain from arthritis, I tried another product in the form of a capsule, but she would not accept it when it was sprinkled on her food, and when I gave her the pill to swallow, she would throw up. I decided to try the Nodens because it was a liquid I could give directly into her mouth. I have had no trouble giving her this, and she actually seems to like it. After 10 days of giving this, she has completely stopped the licking and the hair on her legs is regrowing. I think this must mean the pain is gone. The only thing I notice is that she is sleeping more during the day. If this side effect does not go away, I may try reducing the dose. Would definitely recommend this medication.

Holy bejeebus, this stuff is amazing. My 12 year old cat's behavior had changed over the last year or so. She used to jump up on everything, and loved climbing onto my shoulder for affection, but she began exhibiting a reluctance to go to any height, and when she did, her landing as she jumped down wasn't as nimble as it once was, and she completely ceased shoulder-loves. I asked the vet to check her for arthritis, but she's too feisty so they couldn't do the necessary x-rays without putting her under. I decided to find a joint supplement anyway and see how it goes. I was pretty skeptical -- she's a pretty picky eater, so a solid pill was out of the question, and she's too feisty for anything that needs to be administered directly to her mouth, so I needed something tasty and liquid I could mix into her food. I decided this would be best mixed into a smaller portion of her wet food to ensure she actually eats the whole dose, and what do you know, she actually likes it!! First win. I followed the instructions on the bottle and for the first week gave her a double dose (1 dose in the morning, and another in the evening). I noticed an improvement in her within the first day. I was still skeptical-- it had only been a day after all, hardly time to make much difference. But, by the end of the first week, just as others have reported, she was pretty much back to her old energetic self, darting all over the house, jumping into window sills, hanging out on the back of the couch and jumping down without any trouble. Chasing the other cats out of her yard. And all the shoulder-loves a gal and her cat could want. It's been about two weeks now, and she's able to stay awake longer, she's lost a little weight as she's able to get more exercise again (which was really needed), and a weird breathing sound she used to make seems to have also resolved, which was a really unexpected and great side effect (probably a combined result of better cardiac health from exercise, and being able to breathe normally because she's not in such pain). I will definitely be keeping this supplement a permanent fixture in her diet.
