I purchased Nupro Joint Support about 6 weeks ago. My 9 year old Lab has arthritis and was in pain even though I have been giving him a prescription drub obtained from my vet. The drug has been helpful, but with the introduction of Nupro Joint Support, Monty is almost back to top form. He can play frisbee again without limping after a play session. He can also swim vigorously again. AND HE LOVES THE TASTE!! I mix it in with his dry food, and then moisten it all with warm water. It has a rich, meaty aroma. He gulpts it right down. His coat most certainly has a sheen to it again. This is a cost effect, and reliable product. I recommend it highly.

I got this product upon recommendation of the vet after my 5 year old pomeranian had double knee surgeries and continued to limp with some post-surgical pain. He'd been completely bald for years due to another condition. Within 1 month of using 1/3 scoop daily our 10 pound baldy started re-growing hair. He now sports a thick double coat, runs circles around his amazed owner without a trace of knee pain, and looks like the show dog he was bred to be! The product is highly digestable, and even this finickiest of eaters likes the gravy it makes with a little added water.

My 3 dogs love this stuff, in fact my cat started eating the dog food so I now put a little on her food to make her happy.

The directions say to add water to make a "gravy" my dogs don't eat their food all at once and it seemed at first that they didn't like the product.

So, I stopped using it at first but, I had bought a large container and wanted to at least use up the can. I decided to just sprinkle it on dry until I used up the can, and they ate it no problem. WELL, I finished the container with no intention on purchasing it again...

My dogs boycotted their food!

SO... I am now half way though my second can and I'm keeping an eye on it so I do not run out again.

My dogs are 14 1/2, 12, and 8 1/2 years old and I'm happy to have found a product that gives them extra nutrients and also helps to keep my oldest eating her food. I have noticed definite improvements in her energy and coat. In fact people we meet at the park can't believe she is that old.

Amazon has this at the best price I have found, plus I can trust my Amazon purchases.

I have used Nupro Silver with my aged dog for the last two years. When my English Pointer turned 14, her energy level dropped and her interest in general dropped as well. I feared she might be ready to leave and I could not bear this. Though we buy the best foods available, real chicken/lamb based products with no by products or unnatural preservatives, provide six level filtered water, and she has a magnet bed, I decided there must be a supplement that would help. I considered missing link but when I compared it to Nupro, for quality and price, I purchased Nupro. Within three weeks, my dog's energy picked up and she is still alert and active. I am more than pleased with Nupro and would not be without it for one day. I highly recommend it for aging dogs and that means for all dogs. I give it to all our dogs every day.

Our breeder recommended that we use Nupro nutrional supplement for our golden retriever. He has allergies and she suggested that the supplement helps with that. The company also promotes this product as helping with allergies. Unfortunately it made our dog's allergies worse. Within days of starting the supplement his ears were inflamed and messy, he was biting and licking at his paws and he lost some hair on his tail.

We also tried the Nupro supplement, without joint support, for our shih tzu. It caused loose stools for her. My parents had the same reaction with their shih tzu.

We have since discontinued use of both products.

I use this product for my own two German Shepherds. We belong to the Oklahoma Working Dog Association which includes another 20 or more dogs, and the members share a lot of feedback about various supplements used for our dogs. Many of these dogs compete in Schutzhund sport, so they need to be in top physical condition. I personally was using a more expensive joint supplement than Nupro for a couple years, but my dogs coats started looking shabby. A couple other "club" friends said they were going back to using an "old standby" -- Nupro -- so I ordered some for my dogs. Now the dogs' coats are shiny and healthy -- looking show worthy! My 6-year-old 95 pound male (all muscle, not fat!) is taking the jumps and hurdles and running like a puppy with absolutely no sign of joint discomfort.

We and several friends feed our dogs a homemade diet. Therefore, we are very careful to include appropriate levels of vitamins and minerals as additives. The Nupro silver provides a quite complete array of nutrients. Also, the Nupro company was very helpful when we requested more information than was found on the product label. They quickly sent a detailed and complete list of the ingredients in this product. I was impressed with their openness and helpfulness.

In all -- very highly recommended supplement!

I have tried many other arthritis supplements and this one is by far the best! My ol doggie bounds and runs like a pup again! I just mix it with some water and it makes a gravy that my usually picky pup loves! If I mix it up the night before it thickens up.I like it so much I ordered the 20 lb size!

We've had our three dachshunds on Nupro Joint formula for over a year, now. We sprinkle a bit on their dry food (Solid Gold) in the morning and evening, and then add a bit of warm water to make a "gravy." They LOVE it!

Being doxies, all three have had back problems of one kind or another. Dax, our "old lady" (10 years), has been incapacitated to the point that we had to give her a cortisone shot and sedate her in order to give her time to heal. She also used to have a chronic problem with the hair follicles on her coat getting infected, which required washing with a medicated shampoo. Even then, she had a very poor coat with a moth-eaten appearance. Not a very nice look for an otherwise beautiful dappled girl!

But we've experienced none of these problems since we've started the Nupro/Solid Gold combo. All three coats (two smooth; one long-hair) are full and shiny, and the only back problem we've experienced was a pinched nerve on my rambunctious boy, Ro, after taking a leap from our bed -- a place he had no business getting up to in the first place. Even that problem was short-lived, and he made a full recovery after a vet trip for a small run of anti-inflammatories.

I highly recommend using a quality food and supplementing with the Nupro. Once you get your dogs to where they are healthy and shiny, you only need a light sprinkle on a meal to keep 'em going. We feed three small dogs twice a day, and a 5Lb container lasts us months.

I tried this product to help and heal my 3 y.o. dog's wounded leg which caused him early arthritis. I also gave it to my other large dog as a precaution. Well, let me tell you, they love it. It is definitely worth the time to pre-mix it with some water and make a gravy, then add it to their food. That way it is easier to eat and no powder is left behind wasted. My injured dog greatly improved and is getting stronger. My other dog, who I thought had no joint problems, also improved her ability to get up quicker and easier. I will never stop giving this to them. They also have a shinier coat and lots of energy. I highly recommend this product to everyone. I also checked out the prices with shipping at alot of places and this price was great.

My 10+ yr. Husky had a little arthritis in her foreleg. I went to local pet store & picked up this Nupro Joint Supplement. Then, I found this 5lb supply on Amazon through Entirely Pets at a great savings. I also have a 6+ yr. GSD & 5+ yr. GSD/Collie rescue & decided to use it for all. It has been several months & my Husky rarely limps now & runs pretty well at the beach. She is quite playful too. My other two are energetic & all of their coats are shiny. Best of all they love it. I mix with a little warm water.

I also give them 1000mg of fish oil daily in a gel tab.

I advised my vet & he approves.

I would definitely recommend giving this product a try. Not only for joint support, but overall wellness & maintenance.
