VetriScience Laboratories GlycoFlex 2, Hip and Joint Supplement for Cats, 60 Bite Sized Chews

very good product, keeps my 20 year old cat on the move

really pleased with this item

I noticed that my 12 year old cat wasn't moving around as easily. He slept more and just didn't seem as happy. I did some reading and realised these are signs of pain. After buying these treats for him, I noticed a change pretty quickly. He jumps down from the couch with a little more ease and he seems to be in much better spirits. Cats hide pain well, and I think these have helped him even more than I know. I believe he is much more comfortable now, therefore happier. I've never really been one to give my cats treats and generally, the few times I have, he has turned his nose up at them. However he loves these. He knows the schedule I give them to him and reminds me every time. It's a highlight of his day! They are a little pricey but I do think they are worth the cost. I'm grateful I found these! Bambi is too.

Me lo indicó el veterinario para mi gato de 15 años con artritis en las patas posteriores, dos unidades todos los días. Muy palatable, en cuanto lo huele viene a tomarlo, las parto en tres por ser un poco grandes. Buen precio.

Glycoflex--has made my cats (that’s two elder cats now) golden years a lot less painful. Update 4.1.20 Still using Glycoflex for an older cat, but a new older cat with even more stiffness and probably pain without the supplement. We lost Maia in 2018 but adopted a new older stray, Bast who was a lot more decrepit when he came to us. He has either some bad arthritis or an old injury, or both, which makes him very stiff. He could not jump or move very quickly when we got him and looked extremely uncomfortable when moving from being in a stationary position for a while. After using the Glycoflex in his food for only a short time, he moved a lot better and does not seem as stiff. He can jump on things and even trot about a bit when he wants, but he has to have the Glycoflex consistently. He does not love it, so I leave it out of the first bit of wet food he gets for the day—that makes him happy, as he gets some good tasting food, then I cut it up and put in the remaining food for the day and he eats it. Yeah, I know, poor cat he has to eat food with a bad taste, but he will be practically crippled without it. *************************************************************** I had begun to notice that my cat Maia was very stiff every time she got up, and that she was losing her footing around the house as she walked on the counters and tables--I was afraid she was going to fall and break her hip or leg or something. Since I take Glucosamine, I thought I'd try to find her some. This is going to be hit and miss for pet owners--because animals are people and they can be picky---but I really like this product. I tried a few--they all tend to taste bad, and my cat didn't want them, or I had to open capsules and sneak them in her food---- but my cat has continued to eat this one. The treats are chewy and not as easy for a cat to eat--so what I do is get a small knife and chop them up into tiny bits--then my cat has no problem. I also had to use mind control. ( no lie) she loved them at first, but was starting to turn away from them--then I discovered that if I get the treat ready and have it nearby --and I catch her right when she wakes up--right then and I use the code word --I first said to her “It's good for your BONES and joints;” She eats the treat! I have to say Bones with a certain intonation. I realize that sounds a little goofy--but I think I have successfully conditioned my cat to eat the treats at the magic word. You might not have to employ mind control, maybe your cat will just like these, but if she or he is put off by the chewy texture--chop them up, and if for some reason your cat doesn't like the taste--try hiding it in food, before the conditioning experiment ( : The other thing I appreciate about this brand is the strength of the ingredients, I did some comparisons and it's got more active ingredients than the other two I was able to get Maia to ingest. I actually noticed a decline in her mobility when I went back to the capsules--when she stopped eating these for a while. So I recommend the Glyco-Flex. It's not the cheapest supplement (it's cheaper than the human one I used to use to give her with a dropper against her will, but from my perspective, it's worth a try. My cat is very much improved. If this doesn't work for you--try something else--the supplement really make a difference in a cat or dog's life. Hope that mind control tip didn't totally undermine my Amazon cred--but it's so amazing--I had to share. It works!
