Switched from Phycox, and found a winner! Highly recommended for dogs with knee issues
July 29, 2013
This product has been working well and I definitely recommend it. I looked at several on Amazon and tried to match up the ingrediants. Most of the other types didn't have glucosamine, chondroitin, and msm together. I had my dog on Phycox for awhile as I was getting it thru my Vet, and it was costly that way. I wanted to try to find a better price. I checked Amazon and they had the Phycox much cheaper, but again, it doesn't have all those 3 ingredients in it. Joint Max does, and its the cheapest price wise around! Because you should start your dog off with about 3-4 a day to really get it in their system. So having 240 at such a good price helps you not skimp on the amount given. The Phycox was about $.50 each thru my vet, so it was expensive at $2 a day.The reason I need to have my dog on a supplement is because she tore her knee bad about 5-6 years ago. Ripped almost every ligament in the knee, and required a very costly surgery. She gets sore a lot and starts limping when she gets up wrong or quick, plays with a neighbors dog, etc. So I wanted to get her on a good supplement daily. (she's an 8yr old Chow/Retriever mix about 80-85lbs, and i love her to death)The Outcome: Awesome! (as far as I know) So I have been giving her this for about 4-6 weeks now consistently, and I must say I don't think shes had any bad episodes since I started her on these. I don't even think any minor limping either. I wanted to give it enough time to notice a difference before i reviewed it, because you can't tell after a few days. But the week before I started her on these she was limping bad for quite a few days, and started getting better around when I started giving her these. But since then she has been doing really well. Now as for Joint Max compared to others. I have not given her this many of the other brand as I have with this, so I cant compare apples to apples as to which works better. But for the price, and the 3 main ingredients needed, this has it ALL!Other dogs might like the hint of Chocolate flavor this has, but my dog is to smart and won't take them. I have to crumble them up in the bottom of her food and she'll eat them that way. I usually do 2 early an 2 at night for the first 4-6 weeks. Now Im cutting her down to 2-3 a day.Again, I recommend this from personal experience with a dog that has a really bad and sensitive knee! I'll be ordering more very soon
