"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!!!"

- Stephanie

"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!"

- Lynnette

"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!!!!!"

Amazing Product!

I was a bit skeptical about Critical Joint Relief for Dogs when I read about how it was helping dogs to feel better - BUT, I ordered it because our Mei-Mei has deformed hip and knee issues and doesn't like to go on mile-long walks anymore. Well, I really think, after 2 weeks of giving her CJRD, that she is improving! The last two days we haven't taken her stroller with us on our walks - and she hasn't pulled against her leash even once to go home! I am thrilled! Thank you so much for this product!

Such a change in my dog

My 9 year old Border Collie was diagnosed with significant arthritis. He was limping due to his left front shoulder. I put him on Critical Joint Relief and he’s improved so much it’s hard to believe. He rarely limps now and is as active as ever. I love the product.
