I have tried two other joint products for my dog. The first one was from Trader Joe's. My dog would leave it in his bowl. I always cut the pills in half. I tried using pill pockets, but the dog would eat the pocket and spit out the pill. It was a daily struggle. So, I purchased one of the highly rated joint products on Amazon. It is a flavored pill that claims that dogs love the taste. I had even more problems with this pill. It was larger and required more pills per day. I had to break them into 4 pieces, put them into my dog's food, and then take the ones left in the bowl and stick them into separate pill pockets.It was always a struggle to get the dog to eat the pill. After 4 months of this struggle, I decided to try this product. I even bought a pill crusher, because I was determined to avoid the daily problems. The first few times, I added crushed pills to my dog's food and he ate them. The pills were smaller and only 2 pills per day were required, as opposed to 3 with the other company's products. I decided to try cutting the pill in half, rather than crushing it and seeing whether the dog would eat it. He ate it and has done the same every morning and night since I started using. I started giving my dog these pills when he appeared to have problems running and lifting himself on the chair. His hips also appeared to give him problems. I see no problems with these issues. I really recommend this product.
