"I bought this a month ago and I’ve seen improvement in my Shepherd/Retriever mix. She has arthritis in front shoulder diagnosed with X-rays and I noticed her back end is getting that way. She has been on Rimadyl for 8 months. I’ve been able to use just the VetSmart every day instead of the Rimadyl which is what I hoped to do. She is more active outside and I will continue to use this product!!!!!"

"I had this ad pop up one night. My dog had ACL surgery and was taking Dasequin. I ordered this on a whim. It’s only been about 3 weeks but I swear I totally can see a difference!!! I crumble it on my dogs food and he doesn’t even notice it. Love it!
It really is a great product and I’m very leery of trying things from pop up ads but thrilled I did. The Dasequin was too hard to crumble and I saw no improvement at all. My dog is literally running again and jumping back on the couch (not sure that’s a good thing lol) but thank you! Wonderful product.
It’s incredible how well he’s doing. I swear by this stuff!!!"

"I need to write a review somewhere regarding this product. I could cry. My 12 year old Bichon has transformed. He is happy again. He barely moved and just from his bedroom bed to his living room bed. Went potty but, at his own pace. Now he skips and gets excited, plays with our other dog, runs around the house. I mean its a true miracle! I just don’t want to post somewhere where anyone thinks this is fake. I will share my phone number and have videos of him playing like his young! I got my dog back and if anyone is hesitant please stop! DO it for your dog and get this product.
I don’t understand how it does it and after seeing the results I don’t care. I have seen my dog happy and smiling again. I wish I knew about it earlier but, at least I know about it now and will not be without it. I stopped all other meds I was giving him for joints and pains. If I can’t convince you, buy it anyway. It changed our lives!"

"We started our big 110 lb, 10 yr. old yellow Lab, Teddy, on VetSmart one week ago. He has arthritis and was limping quite badly. He’s on pain meds and antibiotics, which seem to make little to no difference. Yesterday my husband got back from a walk with Teddy and asked me whose dog this was! He said he had no trace of a limp and was bounding around the snow like a puppy! I’m in tears with thankfulness for this product!!!!!"

Otherwise, you can break up the tablets and simply mix them in with your dog’s food.
Can I use this for my cat?
This product is specifically formulated for dogs.
My dog is (or may be) diabetic. Can they use VetSmart?
There is a very small amount of sucrose in our product. For clarification, the Glucosamine in our product is shellfish based. Therefore, our product is generally safe for dogs with diabetes. However, if your dog is highly sensitive or has no tolerance for any sugars, we recommend that you obtain your veterinarian’s approval prior to use, or use a partial dose to observe any reactions, and then decide to continue or discontinue use of the product.
My dog has arthritis and is really struggling with her hips and joints and is not mobile. Can I increase the dose and give her more than what is on the label?
Yes, you can. According to our experts, use your best judgement based on your dog’s condition. For more severe cases you can double the dose indicated on the label for the first 3-4 weeks, and then cut back to what is on the label for ongoing maintenance. This gives your dog’s body time to produce new cartilage and repair the joints. If your dog experiences any issues such as diarrhea, then cut back on the dose.
My dog has a sensitive stomach. Will this product work for him?
Yes, if you dog has a sensitive stomach try easing into the full-strength dose indicated on the label over a 2-week period. It’s also helpful to use our Critical Digestive Restore to balance your dog’s gut.
How are green lipped mussels harvested and processed?
The green lipped mussels we use in our Advanced Hip + Joint Complex are raised on licensed sea farms in New Zealand. The green lipped mussel industry is one of the most important industries in New Zealand, and it is highly regulated and a leader in ecological safety. Prior to the 1960’s, green lipped mussels were grown wild in the sea, but the harvesting process scraped the seabeds and destroyed the sea floor. Since that time, virtually all green lipped mussels are required to be farm raised using the “longline technique” that has been used for centuries by Japanese farmers to safely raise oysters. The New Zealand green lipped mussel industry is now considered one of the most ecologically responsible and sustainable industries in the world. Regarding the method of processing, our green lipped mussels are processed by “cold opening” instead of heat processing so the important nutrients in the mussels are preserved.
