Now Pets, UC-II® Advanced Joint Mobility for Dogs and Cats, Veterinarian formulated, Help Maintain Cartilage and Connective Tissue*, 60 Chewable Tablets (60 Grams)

This is made a great impact on my dogs way of life and not being in as much pain using it regularly is the biggest key.

I got this for my senior dog who has back and joint pain. At first, she wouldn’t eat them as they’re a crunchy texture like a wafer,so I put them in Greenies pill pockets. That worked OK but I’m not convinced she was chewing it enough. Now I crushed it with a rolling pin and put it on her food. She seems to love it this way as if her food taste even better than before. Lol. She’s 13-1/2 and enjoying her walks more than she was able to before. Sometimes running like she did in her younger days and it does my heart so good to see that. Research shows undenatured collagen type 2 (UC-II) is more effective than glucosamine they work well together, and a small amount of glucosamine is included in the supplement as well as other products well known for helping with inflammation and pain. NOW is a great brand and I buy some of their supplements for myself. This also has the NASC quality seal, which makes me trust it more. I now give it to both of my dogs because the other one just entered his senior years and I want to help prevent back and joint pain for him as long as possible.

Not sure these are working just yet as my puppet has a mystery limp. Can’t MRI him due to anesthesia complications. X-ray didn’t show why he won’t put weight on it. But for a picky pup he likes these. I’ll continue to try as I know UCII makes a difference in me. Recommend!

Giving my doggo 3 a day, and his vet prescribed anti inflammatory every other day. Seems like this is working better than the other chews we were using. He is way more active and mobile.

It smells kind of not great but our dogs take it no problem with a bit of wet food smeared on top. They won't eat it straight out of the "box" though. (Disclaimer - our dogs have been conditioned to take meds) It does seem to work! Both of our older dogs are more mobile (jumping up again) once we put them on it. And generally more active. I take the human version for myself and quite a bit of joint pain has gone away.

How in the heck are you supposed to give this to a cat? I tried to crush it up and put in his food but he won’t eat it.

It took a few weeks to see improvement in my dog's mobility but I have noticed significant changes. Unfortunately, my dog does not care for the taste so I dissolve them in bone broth and mix into his food. He also gets green lipped mussel and egg shell membrane powder, bone broth, and SAMe in addition to the UC-II and I think the combination has helped him tremendously.

Long ago when my dog Moose was only a couple years old, he had a severe limp due to pain in his shoulders. I had him treated him for tendinopathy in his front shoulders. Thankfully he recovered after several months of treatments. However, the vet showed me a problem with Moose's hips: he had flat spots on the ball joints in his hips. He always favored his back, right leg whenever he trotted or ran, skipping to minimize that foot touching the ground. Now I knew why. I began giving him glucosamine supplements, and have been doing so for 5 years without improvement. Fast forward to today. He was running ahead of me, putting weight on his back right leg, and no skipping! About a month ago I replaced the glucosamine for NOW Pets, UC-II supplements. Definitely recommend if your pet has joint stiffness or pain.
