My cat won't eat the food when I put it on the food, so I have been putting it directly into his mouth. He takes it this way but if it was a little thicker it wouldn't be so messy to give it to him this way. Also, the smell is very strong.

I sent this product back because of some of the ingredients "natural flavor" which means salt and the bacon flavor.

I cat refuses to take it. If I put it in food he refuses to eat it. If I try to give it to him directly he, well lets just say he reacts badly. So I've no idea if it helps or not. He won't take it.

Great, non constipating too

I have been applying it to my cat's food as directed for three weeks,and i am aleady seeing results. Mt cat us now more active and looks happy!

This stuff works but my cat won't eat it in her food so I have to give it to her through the dropper which is an inconvenience. But IT DOES WORK!

Has worked wonders for my 14 year old cat, she has started jumping up on things like she used to and playing more.

My cat is 16 and was limping a little bit after a week of Joint MAX, I definitely see an improvement in her joint mobility and her fur is beautiful!

I've been using this product for about two years now ... love it!I have three old cats. TWO of them have had arthritis all their lives ... which I didn't realize until a few years ago when one cat had some x-rays done. BUT even as youngsters, the two sister cats always had "hot spots" on their hindquarters ... they would snap and bite at you if you touched them there. I never knew why until one of them had an x-ray and the vet pointed out that she had pretty bad arthritis in her hips.I started using dasuquin tables with my vet's advice, but crushing up tablets is difficult and the cats would eat around it if they could. So I switched to this product about two years ago. Now, at 15 years old, those hot sports are gone ... this is great stuff.You simply squirt this into their food. They like it (WOOHOO). When you FIRST treat your cat (or you) for arthritis, you use a DOUBLE dose for a week or two (instructions are on the lable, READ it). Then you can use a small amount each day and this bottle lasts me a LONG time for THREE cats ... so it is very cost-effective. I've been using this product for about two years now ... love it!Basically, these products are anti-inflammatory, so they also might be helpful for other aches and pains as your pet ages. My elderly cats are in GREAT health and I think Joint Max helps a lot.

I bought this for my 17 year old cat who has arthritis. I give her Cosequin twice daily, and when I asked my vet about this particular medication, she said it wasn't a known brand and it would be best not to give it to her.

Some improve I noticed with my 17 year old cat.

This stuff IS truly fantastic for my 22 year old boy, without a doubt, It works wonders. However, you can get it elsewhere for almost HALF this price (entirelypets dot com). WAY too expensive here at Amazon unfortunately. 5 Stars for a great product, but not so much for the price.

This has brought my 18-year-old beloved kitty back to his flexible self. He can jump on the bed and move without pain

This product did absolutely nothing for my cats.After 3-4 weeks they turned their noses up at it.I was administering the product in their water and wet cat food.Regardless of the amount I had put in their water bowl,I found them repeatedly drinking from the toilet.I closed the toilet lid and would catch them licking the sink faucets.Their wet food was left untouched. I had even taken their dry food away to motivate themto eat the laced wet food.I could no longer risk my fabulous mature felines becoming emaciated and dehydrated.In conclusion, there was no noticeable physicalimprovement in either one of my cats as the product had promised.I didn't expect the "elixir of the Gods" but I did expect to see a slight ease in their walking.The product did state it would ease joint pain and stiffness.My cats, as well as myself are very disappointed.The manufacturer of Joint Max most likely felt nothing.

WHEN I FOUND THIS PRODUCT I THOUGHT I COULD PUT RIGHT IN HIS MOUTH BUT I CAN ONLY ADD TO FOOD WHICH MY CAT HAS DISCOVERED IT AND WONT EAT NOW

I think this product is helping my senior cat. Can't say with certainty, because I started giving it to him on his wet food around the time he was emerging from his usual hibernation period, earlier this spring. And he is naturally more active then. He doesn't seem to object to it, and this is a big plus. It means I can continue to use it with clearer results, hopefully. I do have high hopes.

My cat is acting so much better. I tried to find an easy way to give him his meds and this product is by far the best. It came quick and I would reccommend it anytime.

Our sweet older cat refused any arthritis suppplement treats/chewables and wet food, which made it hard to mix in pills/crushables and have her eat reliably. We simply squirt this on top of her dry food and know she is getting the dose she needs. We did start with a smaller dose than called for so she would not immediately balk at it. Three weeks later, she is not limping when she first wakes. Seems to have been the perfect solution. Eyedropper provided did not hold suction, so we did have to find another.

I inherited a really big and clumsy cat when I got married. Recently, he's fallen off stuff and hurt himself, my wife took him to the cat doctor and xrays showed lots of arthritis in his hips. I've been giving him this stuff for a few months, not even every day, and he's jumping and running like I would imagine that a new cat does. Funny thing is, the cat thinks its a treat and comes running whenever I shake the bottle. Great product.

My cat was indeed as above, and is now much better. Also they love the stuff, it's made of shellfish and goes on their regular food so there's no fighting about taking meds.

I bought this for my 6 yr old maine coon who had hip surgery a while back. He originally broke his hip. The surgery was successful, but he seemed to be getting stiff lately, showing signs of arthritis. I had been giving him glucosamine chews but it didn't seem to be helping. He was limping and lying down a lot. Within a week of giving him this product he was running and playing with my other cats. I give it to him orally with a syringe and it doesn't seem to taste bad. I think it is more concentrated than other glucosamine forms. I highly recommend this product and am forever grateful that it has helped my baby.

About 10 years ago I adopted a gloriously lovely 22lb cat from my local shelter. She was somewhere in the range of 3-6 years old at the time. Now her weight is down to a pretty steady 14.5-15 lb range and she's on R/D dry food for maintainence at the least, and more loss at the best. But she is an older girl who can run down a hallway like a bulldozer if she sees a treat near her dish, but has definite tightness and sensitively around her hind legs and cannot always get herself on the couch. The vet prescribed cosequin, but even my little vacuum wouldn't eat the dry pellets when just poured over her dry food. She needed two capsules and I used nearly a full can of squeezed liquid from a tuna can to try to dilute the pills but it still wasnt enough liquid. I love my girl, but I'm not emptying a can of tuna fish every night for her. Finding this liquid was just a god send! Now when our other cat is getting her own syringe followed by an anti-hairball treat, this girl gets a little under a tablespoon of the R/D dry food and 2.5oz poured over it. The food doesn't fully absorb the liquid but she still licks the dish clean once she's started. She gets this nightly or every other night at least. She's been taking it on this schedule for about 2 months now and she's visibly doing so much better. She's shown more energy in interacting with her housemate and can more often than not get herself up onto the couch in a single jump, without grabbing and pulling or needing me to lift her up. She also just got a clean bill of health from the vet so we're continuing the treatment as is. I've just been so so happy to find this product and would recommend it to anyone who has a cat on dry food only who needs but won't eat the cosequin on it.

We used to have to give our soon to be 17 year old Tabby a prescription medication for her joint problems but this takes care of her for approx. 2/3rd the cost for 5-6 months of the $30/month the prescription meds used to. Worth every penny to see our beloved Christy get around as well as she does with! This one bottle has lasted 6 months as of today, 9 Feb. 2013!

I have an elderly cat that is practically impossible to medicate. I have tried MANY other joint supplements and as soon as I crush up the pills or open the capsules and put them into her wet food, she would refuse to eat it. This liquid medication is much easier to administer and she gobbles up her food like she usually does. I had her on this supplement for about 2 months when she surprised me by jumping up next to me on my couch. She hasn't done that in the past 2 years. This one 8 oz bottle lasted me just under 3 months.

My cat was having a hard time walking and jumping. I could tell she was in pain. Most of the pills I got for her she would not take too well.She is 17 years old and I decided to try this liquid Joint Max it has been a month now and she walks much better and she looks better.Thank you Joint Max.Diana W.
