One Bottle of Synovial | Hip & Joint Flex

I started my 9 year old sharpei lab mix on the glucosamine chondroitin and MSN supplement about a week ago and our daily walks have doubled in distance. Just a few weeks ago my Girl was laying down and her legs were giving out after two blocks. Now after four blocks she is barking for more, soon we’ll ’ Be back to our two miles a day.

We have definitely noticed a difference in our dog since starting this 2 weeks ago. He isn't struggling as much with getting up. We are giving him 2-3 a day along with turmeric pills. He doesn't whine like he used to while just lying down. He is 11 and has arthritis, so he won't be 100%, but it is definitely better than he was!

I ordered Synovial for my 8 year old, 95 lb mixed breed with a 'tricky' left hip. (He is a tad overweight, but we are working on that too.) I needed to start him on a supplement as we moved into a new house with stairs and I wanted to make sure his joints were as protected as possible. I was excited to see that based on his size he would still only need 2 pills a day! Since he was not in a dire joint situation I did not start him on the boosted dosage but have given him the 'maintenance' dose for about a week and I can already see the difference! The greatest achievement so far was big man jumping on the bed without using his stairs last night-- he hasn't done that in about a year! So I would like to officially sing this supplement's praises since it's made such a big impact in only a week.

I just ordered a second bottle. My German Shepherd/Golden Retriever is 12 years old. A few weeks ago I literally had to help her stand. I started with 3 pills a day. Noticed a difference in less than two weeks. She is now jumping up on her own and the change has been nothing short of a miracle. I had tried other brands in the past with no results. I now give her two a day (she loves them) and am so thankful for this product. I am hoping Molly will be my soulmate for many more years!!

Great product. We wanted to get our dog off her prescription med's and we discovered this wonderful substitute. We were a bit concern at first so we started with every other dose with this supplement and it worked fine. We eventually took her off her prescription medicine and now she takes this 2x a day. Now she is back to her previous self, running, going up the stairs, and no pain.

I am a foster failure...my rescue was a neglect case, and due to malnutrition has to have surgery on both knees, hips, and elbows. This has helped tremendously to support her while awaiting her knee surgeries. While she is not cured, she can get around without the lameness she was experiencing before. She will continue on this supplement throughout her recovery. Great product, and great price!

My dog is an 11 year old blue tick coon hound - long retired (he showed up at my house nine years ago, terrified of gun shots!). He is doing better, moving up and down stairs more easily. He's even doing a little running - not that he's ever been a speed demon! I think this is worth trying.

I have a very old St. Bernard (12 years old) and a 14 year old mixed breed baby that has a crippled let since birth and this is the only product that I have tried that actually works. I used it for over 6 months, with no complaints, but then ordered another brand because it was less expensive. What a mistake! With in a week I saw a decline in both my babies mobility. I threw away the new product and started Synovial again. In 2 weeks time they were back to 'jogging' around and slobbering with happiness. I will never stray to another product again.

I have given this to my Great Dane for about 30 days and she is now putting weight on her back leg, which she had been carrying for a couple of months.

Lucy dog was (11 year old chocolate lab) after having gone running three times in a week started to limp. We felt it was time to get her some pills that might help. We got these and within a week or so she has been feeling a lot better and showing to be more energetic!

I have been giving my dog this for several months. She is 14 years old and plays with my 4 year old like they are puppies. The 14 year old is the reddish brown dog.

Yes this medication help's a great deal it makes me happy to see her move more easily. This wasn't the original medication that I wanted and it was actually for a larger dog. It it is working just fine

Rain gobbles these up. I have been giving her double the dosage for nearly a month now. No more limping. She quit limping within a couple of days of starting this product. I was having to give her pain meds, but not anymore. She is about to start taking just the recommended daily dosage. I highly recommend this product. I am going to share this product with my veterinarian, he was recommending another product that didn't seem to do anything for Rain.

My nine year old dog is now able to jump on the couch and in the back of my SUV. She has improved her flexibility and hip strength in less than a month of taking Synoval.

A terrific med for my aging beloved poodle who has a bad hip. It works!! I started Murphy on the pills one half a pill per day which seems to be the proper dosage. He as holding his right rear leg up close to his body and it became obvious he was in pain. After several days he no longer did this. I hadn't allowed him to use the stairs and I still don't ... I carry him up which also makes him happy. He is 10 years old and in good health and now he seems to be considerably better. More news later

I started using Synovial as a less expensive option than the prescribed medicine from the vet. The directions for my size dogs say two to three pills a day but they are getting by on 1 and 1/2. I give it with food and have not had any issue with them rejecting it. They willingly eat this right out of my hand. Over all, so far so good and I plan to keep buying the Synovial. My Great Pyrenees is 12 and already past her normal life span and still jumps up on the bed and couch. I would recommend this to others with older dogs that have mobility issues.

I have purchased this product for about 6 months and wanted to wait before I reviewed it so I could give honest feedback. My Black Lab, Tank age 8 has benefitted from this product. About a year ago, we had to start helping him into our SUV as he just couldn't jump into it anymore. Well, Tank jumps in our SUV without our help which has saved our backs as he is 90 pounds. Tank easily pops into the car for his favorite thing 'the car ride' with extra gusto to his jump! I can honestly say this product helped Tank. Now, our adopted 3 year old border collie has hip disease from poor breeding. Our Vet was recommending surgery as the next step. Spot did have a minor hip surgery but was going to need more. I started Spot on this product 6 months ago after the minor surgery. Well, you should see this dog jump, run and wag his tail like nobody's business !!! We can clearly see that Spot is not in pain. Spot's hips will have issues but he is functioning 100% better than 6 months ago. I am convinced this product is the BEST.

I adopted my dog Fred in April 2015. He had surgery in March due to a ligament injury in his hind leg. Fred is 9 years old. He seemed to be having trouble getting up, so I wanted to try a supplement to help in the healing process of the surgery. I began giving the supplement to him in May. I noticed a difference within a few weeks. It was much easier for Fred to get up. He had also been limping, but now I cannot tell which leg was injured. I would highly recommend Synovial Hip & Joint Flex. I think my dog will have many more healthy days ahead.

This is by far the best product I've ever tried for my dog's joints. Synovial should be a staple prescription given out by veterinarians for treating arthritis. Before getting my lab on this his ankles were killing him - just getting up after a nap was a struggle, the pain was blatantly visible. Synovial has provided my family member with a consistent, active lifestyle with minimal physical obstacles. I recommend purchasing two bottles at a time, then re-ordering when your second bottle is half way finished. Take care of your pets and do everything you can for them while they're with you.

Our dog Maximus had to have surgery for a torn ACL in his left leg a few years ago. Now that he is older of course arthritis has set in and there are days when it really bothers him and he limps around with it. The vet told us to find a good glucosamine to give him to help with that. I did some research on the internet and found that this seemed to have some pretty good results so decided to try it. We are now at a little over a month of taking them now and he is doing so good! He has 'giddy up' in his step when we go for our walks. He will just all of the sudden get up from sleeping and grab a toy and start running around the house with it for now apparent reason; but as happy as can be. He plays with his ball longer than he has in a long time too! He has become quite the 'young whipper snapper' for a 12 year old these days. It makes us very happy to see that from him. So wish we would've had it for our Cleo who passed away a year ago at 13. Maybe she would've hung in a little longer from her pain in her hips.

My 14.5 year old German Shepherd loves the taste of these and they seem to work better than the other brands I have purchased. He would not willing eat the other tablets I bought and I even gave away 3/4 full bottle because of the taste. He actually meets me in the kitchen each morning now and eats them without any delay. I paid more for this brand but it's worth it to me because I don't have to force him to eat it.

My dog is 11 and has a knee problem. She takes 2 mile walks every morning and her leg has been so much better since taking this. She has taken many other brands over several years in the past and they have never seemed to work. This is the best I have found. She is moving quickly without the hopping she used to do. She never hesitates when I ask if she wants to go for her walk.

My 11 year old German Shepherd is happier and in less discomfort since starting your product. Looking forward to continued success as we continue on the product.

He is moving around much better and for the first time in a year actually jumped up on the bed to watch tv with me again. His favorite thing to do at night after I’ve been at work all day to spend time with me!

I have been using this product to replace the original prescribed rymadril tablets available from the local vet. after doing some research I found a lot of similar sized dogs, with similar joint ailments or like my labrador displacement issues in the hips. My lab got them at age two kinda early and would cry out or just want to lay up and would not even want to go out for walks to do his business. I started with one tab in the morning and one in the evening and along with the vets best pain tablet he gets in the evening I saw a big change in less than two weeks. my lab went back to jumping , getting excited when he sees me grab a leash or tennis ball and has his old energy back. every day now is like he is a younger pup. he has a great appetite, no stomach growls or gurgling as with the prescribed meds, good stool and no problems with urination. I keep a supply here on hand as it is not available in Central america. I have been a dedicated user of this for over two years now and will keep it as his daily routine. Thanks to these supplements I have my best buddy back , and ready to go whenever and wherever!!

My dog loves the chews and I've seen improvement in his pain level and mobility

Hi, my dogs (6) They are improving a lot, they move better and I see an advance when moving with less hassles, thank you very much for the help.

I use this with all of my old and/or injured dogs. It is hard to say if it makes a difference but I give it to them anyway. I don't think it can hurt the dogs.

Bought this same product under a different name that was carried by Petco when I got a 6 month old lab/boxer with hip issues already. Poor thing is 9 yrs old now and doing better than expected. Synovial plus fish oil plus anti- inflammatory plus high grade food has kept him moving. Hope this product stays available!

This product is slowly working on my dog. I have noticed an improvement on rainy days. She is not as stiff. Like any other medication, you do have to give it time for the supplement to get into their system. My dog has a very sensitive system and this has not affected it so far in any way. She is able to take this and loves it even though I HATE the smell of it. Chicken liver . The company is VERY pleasant to deal with and are very helpful. They do respond to your emails and will answer any questions you have

My dog is 11.5 years old & has bad knees. These pills are helping her as far as maintaining her mobility. I was getting her some from my vet but they kept wanted to see her every 3 months and it was getting too costly. The ones from the vet may be stronger but these are definitely helping. She chews them right up.

Our dog, who is 120 lbs. and 9 years old has changed so much. We knew he had arthritis and in pain but didn't realize just how bad. He is more playful and also hangs around us much more. He doesn't know why he feels better but he is much happier for sure. He knows we have done something because his eyes are happier, his facial expressions are happier - he gives us more kisses --- Excellent product and because of it, I ordered another bottle, as well as the other product for his pain, which I will rate next. Thank you so much and for following up on his progress.

The old saying, 'If it sounds too good to be true, it likely is', comes out of the frustration of many hopeful people who purchased products because of the advertising but who had their hopes dashed due to needless deceptions. This is not the case with Synovial. My German Shepherd, Troop, was experiencing significant pain and trouble walking. His back legs were 'tired.' I read the add on Synovial and chose to give it a try. I am two weeks into the treatment and I am amazed at the healing of his back legs so far. While I am realistic to know that ten years is a long life for a German Shepherd, I really believe with the help of Synovial and a lot of TLC, Trooper will be on duty as my protector for some time ahead. Thank you,for making this wonderful product. Father Jim

Works! Our 11 yr old Golden Retriever has greatly improved after 2 1/2 wks on this supplement. He doesn't hesitate to climb the porch steps or take them slowly at an angle due to his joint pain. He trots right up. He's his happy self again, whereas before his demeanor was depressed. Our same age German Shepherd, while not as joint aged as our Golden, has shown better mobility also. I've tried other joint supps, including the best sellers, but THIS one has given the most/best results.

My 9yo, 68# pit-mix sustained a torn ACL in April '16. One vet wanted to treat surgically (expensive+long rehab). 2nd opinion warranted treating conservatively & suggested Synovial Hip & Joint Flex. I was treating with Rimadyl which cost about $60 for 14 day supply & has questionable side effects. Since treating with SH&JF the past 4 months, my pit no longer walks with a limp & runs on all four paws just like before!

After being on Cosequin DS for 2 yrs, Dommy has shown more relief of pain after only 10 days on Synovial. I have already referred two family members with dogs on other products for similar reasons to try this if they are unhappy with the results of other products. They had been waiting to see how my dog, Dommy did as he was in pain climbing the front door stairs.

Have had many dogs with joint issues. This formula has been one of the best I have used. Our rescued golden was adopted with some hip/elbow issue. We started him on 2 tabs /day along with salmon oil. Within 6 weeks the limp was gone and has remained so for over a year. Our daughter also uses for her 10 yr old boxer. Same, excellent results.

I have a 7 year old Bernese Mountain Dog with a bad right leg, she has arthritis & a partial torn ACL. She takes these no problem, she loves them and they are helping her so much So happy with the results.

Best out there!! There's nothing else that works for my golden retriever with hip problems. Where did it go? Pleaaaaaase bring it back!

I'm only writing this review because the Veterinaries Choice Co. asked me for feedback. I had been giving my elderly Sheltie who has considerable joint pain Nutramax Cosequin DS, 'the #1 vet recommended brand' for about a month until it made him sick/vomiting and he wouldn't take them anymore. They didn't have any effect against his pain but it's said that it takes a couple of months to see results.So I bought these as the 'latest and greatest' because his vet thinks these supplements work although she recommends only Nutramax pro/vet grade. Same deal, he got sick after a few weeks, refused to eat them and they didn't have any effect anyway. Now he's on Previcox pain pills that work against the pain and if/when they become detrimental to his health he'll have to have joint injections twice weekly instead. So, I don't know if they work or not but people who use these supplements for themselves say they're very effective.

My Australian Shepherd is nine years old and started having problems with his hips. He would sometimes fall while walking and couldn't go up and down the steps on the front porch. He is on his second bottle of Synovial and baby aspirin, as recommended by his vet. You can't tell there was ever anything wrong with him, except he is a little slower than when he was younger.

My dog (95lb Doberman/Mastiff mix) absolutely loves these! No need to disguise in her food. She begs for them as if they were a treat. They are a rather large pill, but chewable. As a 7yr old, larger dog with Lyme, her vet suggested a Hip/Joint regimine because although her Lyme was under control, she was limping from time to time, no longer wanted to run and jumping into the car like she used to, was becoming an issue. We have been using Synovial for about 3-4 weeks now. We give one pill with each feeding, morning and evening (2 pills a day). I definitely see improvement. She is begining to act like her old self again. She now enjoys walks, runs and plays like a puppy and jumps straight into the car again! I like the ingredients in Synovial and it was less costly than Dasoquin/Cosequin. I will be buying a second bottle when the first runs out and would definitely recommend.

Our 12 year old pit bull is already showing improvement. He will never be able to jump around like a pup but he is moving easier and enjoying going outside with the new pup. I can tell he is more comfortable in his movements. He's happy...I'm happy...!

Great price and my 10 year old Cavalier jumps around like a young pup. These are a lifesaver. She has been on a few different brands (Petco, mostly) and these are better for half the price. She had hip dysplasia and knee surgeries on both legs when she was young, and had always had trouble with jumps, stairs, etc. When we started her on a chondroitin and MSM regimen, she greatly improved. Highly recommended for the arthritic or post leg surgery dog.

After 2 weeks on this product, our senior aged English bulldog is back to his old self again. However, this when this didn't produce the same results in our American bulldog we began to get concerned. We decided to get x-rays and the vet determined that although he did have arthritis in his knee, it was an old injury and could only be treated with an anti inflammatory NSAID. We would like to also continue with this product, but because it is unavailable I'm not sure which product to switch to. Very disappointed as I do feel this is a great supplement to their diet.

I bought this for my daughters Great Dane who is 12 years old ( 54 3/4 years beyond the expected life span of Great Danes). He had undergone the removal off a cancerous lump in his front paw and recovered 100%. The next critical issue became hip dysplasia and arthritic joint pain. It became so bad, he could hardly get up, fell going down the stairs and my daughter was having to lift him (she weighs around 109 lbs.). I saw this on Amazon and on a hunch ordered it. After two months of treatment, he is climbing back on the sofa ( she sometimes has to help him off due to the softness of the cushion) but he has been walking around outside with no problem, going up and down stairs and is beginning to act as frisky as he did as a puppy. Anyone who has an aging large dog they love need to try this for them. It worked for us.

We have been using this for our girl for about a year. She is a 9 year old border collie mix who has stiff joints, especially lifting herself from a prone position as well as during certain types of weather. We were hesitant to try any pill that claimed to be 'delicious' as our girl is quite picky. After all, if you have best product but no way to get the patient to take it, it doesn't really matter. We continue to be amazed that she loves her daily vitamin treat. Even better, Synovial has reduced her stiffness considerably. Our girl is very active and this product has helped to keep her that way. It took about a month or so to see noticeable results. We highly recommend this for even the most refined canine palates!

I had used this product with good results earlier in 2015, but Amazon was out of it when I tried to reorder. So I used an alternate product. and now have returned to Synovial. It helped quite a bit with 10 year old labrador's stiff hip joints for several months, but now his problem has been diagnosed as a spinal degeneration. The vet prescribed pain pills (100 mg. Novox) in addition to the glucosamine, so I will continue ordering Synovial until he declines further.

At this time it seems to be working. There has been a noticeable improvement in my dogs movements. I am very happy with this product. Do you have anything that might help a cataract?

It hasn't been that long since I started giving my dog this item. He seems to like the flavor and he's shown great improvement after knee surgery between physical therapy and giving him this pills.

My 11 year old medium size dog has been on this product for over a month now and I really have seen a great difference in the stiffness and flexibility of her hind legs. She was on steroids and muscle relaxers from our DVM because her hind legs are starting to feel the effects of her age. I did not want to continue her on the prescribed meds because they are hard on her liver, and have other side effects. This product is just what she needed, she no longer limps, has a little pep in her step, and I will continue her on these as a supplement. I recommend. (dog owner of 3 and veterinary technician.)

Have a 3 year old Newf/Pyr mix that started having hip issues a year ago. Started her on 3 tablets/day for a month or two until I noticed some improvement. She takes 1 tablet in the morning and 1 at night now and is doing great. Running around the yard and enjoying life again. Very pleased.

I had my dog with hip displasia and beginning arthritis on Vets Best Advanced for 2 years ( I started it when just the hip displasia was diagnosed ) but since she was limping again I was looking for stronger supplements. Synovial was the strongest I could find, besides this my dog loves it. It must be tasty and I don`t have to add peanut butter in order to make it tasty. Its difficult to say if it helps or not because there are many other factors involved ( its summer now where I live, what makes her feel better ) but its the strongest supplement and it must be even tasty :-) Also - delivery was very fast.

My dog, regrettably, has early onset of arthritis and our doc suggested we use some sort of glucosamine tablet. I tried this first and went to Cosequin. After about two weeks on Cosequin, I could tell she wasn't the same and lost a bit of spring in her step. We went back to Synovial and she is all good again. Just went for w 2.5 mi walk where the only time she stopped was to wait for my old rear end to catch up. I'm sure Cosequin is a fine product but I just found this seems to work better for my dog.

I have been giving these to my 6-year old German Shepherd and 8-year old Chow for over a year. While my dogs are in good health, their muscles do get sore, just like human athletes, after long runs, extra activity, grooming days, and winter outings. They get tired and need to rest, and it's not a reason to see the vet. But I do want to see the dogs free of discomfort and this product really helps ease those aches when they seem to be slow in getting up. After one dose, they're off and running again in a few hours. They don't get these every day, just when they need it. However, I usually give them a weekly dose during winter as a maintenance routine. The Chow loves it, and the German Shepherd takes it in a pill pocket or with her meal. Amazon: please keep selling this product!

Synovial has really helped our furry daughter alot. She's almost 9 years old and a lean 109 pounds, but she hurt her leg awhile back going down the stairs and had a limp. We were using another brand of joint formula, but I decided to change it because it didn't seem to be as effective. After searching and reading customer reviews, I decided to give Synovial a try. Her limp has improved tremendously and I can double the dose if she starts her limp gets worse, which I've done and it did the trick. Also being such a large girl, she sometimes has problems with her hip and we've seem a little bit of an improvement there too. She still doesn't come up the stairs, but seems to getting around alot better.

I purchased this product for my german shepherd who's had one knee surgery and her other leg was starting to limp. After going through that last surgery I decided I'm not going to put her through anything like that again and decided to change her glucosamine and see if it helps her limping. This brand has definitely made an improvement when she's getting up and also when she's running around a bit. She doesn't like the taste of any pills so I have learned or she forced me to be creative in crushing each pill into powder and mixing them in her wet food. She's 80 lbs and I give her two pills twice a day. I had to invest in a pill crusher as well, but she's worth it.

My 10-year-old Golden Retriever/German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix has always been a jumper and a 'happy dancer' but quite a few months ago she seemed to be having a difficult time. She would limp a little and didn't want to jump onto the bed anymore. But when we would take her outside for her walks, she wouldn't limp at all and acted completely normal. We were stumped, but worried enough to take her to the vet. The vet said she seemed fine. She did have a little hip dysplasia going on, on one side, so he prescribed her some Glucosamine chew tablets and a small bottle of Rimadyl for moments of great discomfort. I didn't like the idea of putting my baby on Rimadyl, because it would make her lethargic and have her sleep more than usual; that's not the quality of life I would have for her. Thankfully, the Glucosamine chews did the trick and I didn't have to use the Rimadyl at all! BUT my furbaby HATED the taste of them and would spit them out of her mouth. It took some coaxing and gentle scolding to get her to, grudgingly, eat them. I went online at Amazon to look for an alternative and found SYNOVIAL. I saw that it was extra-strength, and had more in the way of help for my baby than what was given to me by the veterinarian. It also, I read, was chicken-flavoured so I hoped she would like it better. Plus, getting SYNOVIAL via online shopping was far more convenient than going to the vet every month to get a refill bag of lesser-quality Glucosamine. I started my furbaby off with two SYNOVIAL tablets (which she LOVED -- she gobbled them down like they were Pez candy!) and the effects were immediate! She was back to doing happy dances, jumping onto the bed and into the car with no problems -- and in just a day. I could see how much happier she was. I now buy SYNOVIAL from Oreala, Inc. every month or so, depending on how many bottles I am able to afford at once, which brings me to another happy revelation... The price per bottle is incredibly fair-priced, and you get 160 tablets in each; you won't find a better deal than that, without sacrificing quality and product potency. Heidi Lee sends me regular messages, checking on my pup to see how she's doing, which I greatly appreciate. It's the best sign that she genuinely cares about animals and understands that our furbabies aren't 'just' animals, but family.

This stuff really rocked it for my senior 50lb pitbull. He was limping and it just kept getting worse and worse. I came to amazon looking for a cure and the reviews for Synovial were amazing. I was open to trying anything to help my poor pup but after four days of 3 tablets a day he was acting younger than when he had started limping. My only gripe is that a bottle is 40 bucks. I love my dog but 40 bucks every month and a half is a lot when you're trying to save up.

My 14 year old border collie, Maddie, has been experiencing joint pain for the last few years. I have tried different glucosamine supplements on and off during that time, but I never stuck with any brand because I didn't notice a difference. Her pain level has increased over the past year, and I made the difficult decision to start her on a prescription pain medication. It eased the panting, but her gait was still very stiff. My heart broke every time my constant companion would watch me climb the stairs and try to decide whether or not she could endure the pain of following me. My vet recommended giving Maddie a glucosamine supplement. I decided it was worth the money to try it again and turned to the reviews on Amazon for guidance. I purchased the Trader Joe's Glucosamine Chondroitin supplement because of its stellar reviews. I tried that, along with her original pain medication, religiously for three months, but I didn't notice any difference versus the pain med alone. The panting gradually worsened, and her gait was extremely stiff in the morning. We lovingly called her 'Frankendog'. Out of desperation, I took Maddie back to the vet and we added another pain med. I started researching joint supplements and discovered that MSM was just as important as glucosamine, if not more so. Trader Joe's didn't contain any MSM, and I felt like a complete idiot when I discovered how little glucosamine & chondroitin was in their supplement. I spent a considerable amount of time comparing the labels of all the top rated joint supplements for dogs, and narrowed it down to two. I chose Synovial because, while it is much more expensive than what I'd been using, it's about half the price of the other one. I'd pay much more to give my sweet girl some pain relief, but it made sense to start with the less expensive option. We started out giving her two per day and then decreased to one a day. Within two weeks of starting Maddie on Synovial, she was moving much more quickly and easily than before. She sometimes will even run around the house and chase the kids. I'm not saying that she was acting like a puppy again, but she is active and happy again. She no longer has to miss out on what's going on upstairs or in another room because it is too painful for her to join us. Instead of hesitating at the bottom of the stairs, she rushes past me to the top. The true test was when I ran out of Synovial a week before we left on our wedding trip two weeks ago. I was so busy with wedding stuff that I didn't take the time to buy another bottle. I told myself that she'd be fine with the two pain meds. I actually started to wonder if the improvements that we'd witnessed over the summer were due to adding the second prescription pain med. My question was answered when we got back from our trip and I saw how slowly & stiffly she was getting around. I felt absolutely terrible and have vowed to never run out of this stuff again!

Not that 5 stars wouldn't be deserved: my rating is for maintaining mobility, flexibility, comfort. Our 10y.o. GSH 'should be' having hip/joint issues based on her breed / age / activity level. BUT she's been on Synovial for quite some time and has NONE of those issues. So, all things considered (+ diet), I'd say Synovial does a very good job as a maintenance supplement.

My poor doggy suffers from both hip and spine issues. After a $500 vet bill and a lot of pain on his part, I researched supplements and landed on this one. It seems to be helping him a great deal. No more limping and little of that hesitation I used to see before he tried to climb stairs. Also had a great customer service experience when I had to return a batch that smelled funky to me. I was all prepared for a fight, and the lovely Oreala representative replied quickly to my email and issued a refund, no problem.

I have a happy dog again! My 12 year old Soft Coated Wheaton Terrier was suffering from age related arthritis and was experiencing an extremely hard time getting up from laying down for long periods of time. I decided to try Synovial hoping it would help a little because it had such great reviews. Well much to my surprise, it worked far better than I could have ever expected. I tried other less expensive brands, even with the exact same ingredients, and the effects were not the same. I've heard that a lot of medications have exact ingredients, but didn't have the quality that caused them to work better. I've been using Synovial for about 2 years now. I am so grateful to the makers of Synovial because my dog feels so much better and it's affected his mood. Thank you Synovial!

I thought my pittie had an acl issue but after having his normal vet, and his vet I use for more complicated issues and his partner all three confirm it was not acl or at least a major problem requiring surgery I learned it was arthritis in his knees at only 6 and half :( I used this for a month and seen a huge difference. His normal vet said to stop using this and give him Dasuquin, so with it being cheaper I followed his advice hoping with all the supplements that it would work just as well. Well fast forward two weeks and he is back to limping alot! I will use these and the Dasuquin until its gone, then its ONLY these! I think its the type (source) of glucosimine, they are NOT created equal!! Good luck everyone...I know how bad it breaks our hearts to see our babies in pain!

I purchased Synovial due to the great reviews I read about this product. My dog is 13 years old, was diagnosed with arthritis in her right hip about a year ago and now she has a torn ACL in her left rear leg. I'm contemplating the surgery for the torn ACL, but in the mean time she's been very uncomfortable. She's been on the Synovial for about two weeks now and she's only 13 lbs so I wasn't quite sure how much to give her, but after reading everyone's suggestions for the dosage to smaller dogs, I've given her 1/2 the pill in the AM and 1/2 the pill in the pm. After this week end I will cut it down to a 1/2 pill daily. She has shown improvement and seems to be a little more flexible and a little less uncomfortable. If it were up to her, so would keep walking when we go on walks, however, after a short while her canter starts to change and we have to turn around and head for home. Overall, I would say she is doing better than she previously was.

We have been giving these to our dogs for the past month and my dogs seem to be a lot more active. I have a 13 year old male pit bull and a 9 year old female pit bull and they both really seem to benefit from these. They run and play and my male seems to have an easier time getting on and off the couch and up and down the stairs. Plus the dogs love the taste so I never have to try and trick them.

For a little background, I am in no way affiliated with Oreala or anyone that does work for them. I'm one of those dog owners that would spend a fortune on them, if need be, to keep them healthy and happy as they do for us. After a little research, I settled on Synovial for it's content and price. My 6-year old lab developed a rear knee issue sometime within the last 6 months with swelling and severe limping on one and sometimes both back legs. I fear she may be on the road to one of the Cruciate Ligament conditions (TPLO or CCL) in the future. The kind that requires surgery done by a veterinary orthopedic surgeon - not cheap! The vet treated the swelling with an anti-inflammatory, but the limping remained, usually appearing immediately after she gets up from lying down. Once she's up and moving, things appear normal and she's running/jumping like it never happened. Hoping for the best, but not expecting much, I started her on Synovial, using the 6-week double-dose method of 4 per day (2 at each feeding) to flood her system, then reduced it to a 2 pills per day (1 at each feeding) maintenance dose. I'm now at the 8 week mark from starting it and I can say with 100% certainty that Synovial is helping. Watching as she gets up now, I can tell there's still an issue there, but the condition's effect on her is almost non-existent now. There have been a bajillion studies done of the effects of Glucosamine and Chrondroitin on both humans and animals alike and a common indicator among the 6 I've studied from start to finish all report conclusively how crystalline glucosamine sulfate reduces inflammation and restores articular cartilage. I know that there can't be any marked increase in cartilage over such a short period, but Synovial has me questioning myself now on that very subject. Know full well that this is not a magic pill to repair damage done to the joints or the condition that caused it. Rather, the combination is meant to reduce further degradation of the joint structure with joint space narrowing and help prevent cartilage and bone degradation and I am convinced that it is having an incredibly positive effect on my Sophie. 10-month update: So far, I'm still impressed with the effect Synovial has had on Sophie, my 6-year old black lab, and would whole-heartedly recommend it to even my closest friends.

My 11 1/2 year old female rottweiler is acting like a young doggy again! She runs around the house, and goes up and down a flight of stairs several times a day. Her fur has become very soft also, I don't know if that's part of what this does, but that's happened also. She also likes the taste. I don't have a problem giving them to her. She s normally picky- very much loved and spoiled.

I ordered these for my 12 year old lab/golden. The last cold week of weather was really hard on her. She was having problems getting her back end up and even walking down the steps. Once it started to warm up she got better but I decided to order these just to be on the safe side. She's only been taking them for a week, two times a day and I've seen a little improvement. Time will tell if it really helps but I have to say she will not eat them. She chewed up the first one and then spit it back out so now I'm having to shove it down her throat for her to take it. Even with that she still tries spitting it back out. If the flavor was to where the dog actually wanted it this product would be amazing.

Seems to really help arthritic pain in my older dogs! One of my dogs had a torn ALC and I chose to not do surgery. After a few months on anti-inflammatories I took her off of them because I heard how bad they ere for dogs and they would eventually kill her. I switched to glucosamine products then these and kept her long distance running to a minimum. It's been over two years and she is doing great! She will never be a runner again but she is out of pain and plays with her sister dog !

My golden retreiver has been suffering from hip displasia for some time and recently dislocated one of her hips. After surgery to repair the dislocation, I ordered thie Synovial glucosamine supplement for large dogs and started her on the tablets. She eats the tablets as a treat so there is no need to disguise them in something she likes to eat. The results she has shown since taking the supplement have been very good, Although she still favors her bad hip some, she now runs and seems to feel much better. She is still improving so I believe the supplement is working very well for her.

Hi my name is Dave Carlson and I have a five year old Rottweiler named Roxy. Over the last couple of years she has shown signs of stiffness in her joints. I have tried many supplements etc. for her and nothing helped, until I read a number of positive reviews about Synovial 'Hip & JOINT FLEX' on Amazon. I ordered a bottle and started giving the tablets to Roxy. I did not notice any difference for about a month and almost gave up, but than Roxy slowly started showing signs of improvement in her stiff joints. Now we go swimming together and do all kinds of things. Roxy is acting like a one year old again.!!! Roxy and I strongly recommend 'SYNOVIAL HIP & JOINT FLEX' 'THANK YOU SYNOVIAL' DAVE AND ROXY Two Harbors, Minnesota

My 4 year old over-weight Vizsla (I didn't think that was possible either) developed a shoulder issue after running with me on my mountain bike. He developed quite a limp, which the vet said had no structural cause. So I started him on rest and Synovial. I am quite pleased with the results so far. He loves the taste of the tablets, so dosing him is no problem. I am still giving him the upper range in dosage. His limp is barely noticeable now after about 30 days. I plan to keep him on this product for perhaps the rest of his life.

Although i have not given it enough time to see the real effects this may bring, It has been less than a month and I can already see the difference in how Riley feels.He was thrown out of a car when he was a baby which broke his growth bones in his front legs, thus causing deformity. This medicine has brought him back to his puppy playfullness which tells me he does feel better.

We've seen a BIG change in my dogs walking. She also has put her paws up on my lap for the first time in months since her back legs had been bothering her and weak. This really seems to have helped. Also, she loves the taste and since she's really picky that was a big plus. I will reorder when the time comes. One note...my dog has some food type allergies (itches) and has no ill effects from these pills.

I love your product and so does Marayah...she's large and 10, so her hips have always been a problem, with Synovial and a few other things I'm doing she's up and around and is acting like a puppy again. This means the world to both of us! I don't take lightly putting my name to something unless I really believe what I'm saying...THIS PRODUCT WORKS!!!

My rough collie, Treasure, is a rescue who had been neglected and starved as a puppy. She came to me at 7 months, and along with good quality food, I gave her these tablets. She will be 10 in January and can still jump into my SUV with ease, as well as on to my bed. Can't help but think this supplement has something to do with that.

I have used other glucosamine -chrondroitin supplements for my 9 year old Malamute mix and Synovial is by far the best - she likes the tablets - thinks they are treats!!! and she walks without limping or seeming to be in pain at all - she had gotten where she did not want to go on our daily walks, which used to be the highlight of the day, because of the pain and since being on Synovial she is always wanting to go on walks - several times a day!!! I am very pleased with this produce!!!

We have been using Synovial for our almost 14 year old Golden for nearly a year and a half. She no longer requires prescribed pain medications for her arthritic hips and is once again acting like a puppy. We are very please with Synovial and highly recommend it to other people who have Golden Retrievers. It is a product that even younger dogs may start using to prevent hip problems. We had a male with Panos and it even relieved his pain and has grown out of that stage without any side effects. He continues to use it to this day for prevention of any future joint pain or problems. YES, we are very pleased with this product!!!

This company has really impressed me. I bought this for my 13 year old German Shepherd mix. I had been giving her a mild formula and it just wasn't seeming enough. I started her on this medication and she stopped eating. Thinking is was the meds, we took her off. Unfortunately that was not the problem. The next week we lost our dog. I contacted the company to get a refund and immediately they credited my account. I also got a few personal emails from the CEO Heidi of condolences. I was reluctant to give this to my next oldest dog who is 12 and a lab mix. He has severe allergies. With kind words from Heidi, I decided to try as he is getting up slower these days. He absolutely LOVES the,. in little strides, he is getting up easier and has been much happier. I not only can highly recommend the product, but the company. The CEO, Heidi, takes her product personally and has been absolutely wonderful to us. Just yesterday, I received a sympathy card from her for the loss of our dog. This was a hard blow after losing our Aussie less than 3 months before. Our baby's death had NOTHING to do with the product, there was something more wrong. This product is helping our lab lead a happier life. I have a great respect for the company that sells this product and would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Heidi, my hat goes off to you for being the best CEO of a company that I have ever dealt with. I am impressed with you and your product. Thank you!

I'm in the process of ordering another supply of Synovial for my dog. I purchased a bottle last month for my 13 year old Golden. He was at the point where I had to help him get up because his hips were so bad he couldn't get up on his own. Along with Rimydal from the Vet, I'm giving him Synovial, fish oil, Vit. E and Curamin. I had been giving him these supplements previously, but since I added Synovial, my dog has gone from needing help to get up, to actually trotting in the back yard! I'm very skeptical, and unless I had seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed he could have gotten back from the brink. I believe the addition of Synovial has gotten him to this point. I have recommended it to all my dog friends. Amazing product. Thank you!

My 14 year old dog has arthritis and luxating patellas. After only 3 of these, he was walking around with a bounce in his step! I couldn't believe it. I added Zeel (2 tabs a day) and my dog is walking around like he is 5 years younger. Amazing. I've used Phycox chewables but I noticed no change... with this Synovial my dog had obvious results immediately and all day long.'

This product made our dog move and play again like she did 2 years ago. So glad we tried it> Our dog is a lab/German Shepherd cross that weighs 71 lbs. It took about 4 weeks of using this Hip and Joint Flex for her to get back to her old self. Our vet told us she has hip dysplasia. She would whimper when she would walk, lost 5 lbs. because she just didn't want to eat, could hardly get into the vehicle to go for rides. Now that she has been taking this, she runs and plays again, gained back to her normal weight, and jumps right in the vehicle again. She has been on this now for at least a year and is still doing well.

This product is phenomenal . Bart is my mastiff who is 160 lbs .. Very tall and lengthy . He came to me as a rescue in Dec 2013. He cracked he was stiff and he wasn't very limber .. I tried some OTC glucosamine supplements but they didn't improve his mobility . I ordered this product and after about 2 weeks the difference was amazing. I have a video of him and I wish I could post it. He is tearing up on back legs grabbing toys running around .. He can get up with minimal cracking and stiffness now.. He is 7 years old and he is like a different dog now.. I will continue this product in addition to his high protein grain free diet (grains aggravate arthritis .. Causing inflammation) and I will start the others in my pack on this when the time comes! Great product great price !!

I compared Synovial with other brands on the market, and I thought this one was the best for the money. While pricey, my vet highly recommends glucosamine for my older dog. My fussy 7 year old lab, Jack, loves these chewable vitamins; he hated the other ones I gave him. Both dogs think of them as a treat. For those with smaller dogs, these are easy to cut in half. Jack has been taking these for a few months and is no longer limping. He has seen huge improvement; I'd highly recommend these supplements. Our 2-year old boxer also takes these. August 2014 update: We just refilled our original order.
