NaturVet – Hip & Joint for Cats Plus Omegas – 60 Soft Chews – Help Supports Healthy Hip & Joint Function – Enhanced with Antioxidants, Omega-3 & 6 Fatty Acids – 30 Day Supply

Our outdoor cat was showing signs of a limp a few months ago. We chalked it up to maybe a pulled muscle or a sprain. The limp progressively got worse....to the point where he started dragging both legs and he could not move far without having to rest. He was also in pain whenever I tried to pick him up. We feared cancer or kidney disease and took him to the vet. After an exam it was determined that he did not show signs of tumors or broken bones. His blood works showed no issues as well. The vet said he most likely has arthritis and should be kept indoors because he could no longer take care of himself nor defend himself in this state. He hates being indoors and he was still in pain so we went to our local pet store and the gentleman suggested these hemp chews. We started him out on 4 a day for a week. Within 2-3 days he was walking again. He now can go up and down stairs and I can pick him up with out him howling in pain. It has been a month and he now gets 2 chews a day for maintenance and so far so good. I cannot not recommend these enough.

This has helped my senior cat so much she is now playing again.

My kitty just didn't like them. I have a 16 year old orange tabby that will eat almost anything but he doesn't like these. I wasn't too keen on them either once I got them. First off the container is only about half full with 60 chews. For a slight comparison,, you can find dog treats with almost 100 pcs. For slightly less $. Secondly these are "soft chews" that are not very soft which may be troublesome to older kitties. They do not squish in your fingers but crack and crumble like a dry brownie. This should be fine for younger to mid age cats though. They are rather large, a little smaller than a quarter. These were actually bigger than the hemp treats I get our dog. My cat looked at them like "what am I supposed to do with that rock you put in front of me?", tried to eat it and just spit it out cause it was too big to chew. I tried to grind it up and mix it in his soft food. He tried to cover it up. A sure sign he hates it. After I smelled them I could guess why. They have a rather sweet almost molasses smell to them. But there is no molasses in the ingredients...which also have alot of things I can't pronounce and not a whole lot that sounds like it could be edible. At least they are made in the USA, so you don't have to worry about lead poisoning or some crazy illegal chemicals in them. Sorry, I think I'll try something else for my furbaby.

did help but too hard to get them to eat. had to sprinkle on food would not take as treat after day 1.

My 14 year old cat liked the flavor and ate it quickly

My 12yr old kitty loves these treats. They pretty much melt in his mouth so he doesn't have to chew them really hard. Sometimes he drops pieces out of his mouth due to the softness and the size of the treats. They are a little bit too big, but cutting or breaking them isn't an option as they disintegrate into a pile of crumbs. He hasn't choked on them so I think they are fine. I suppose if you were worried about choking you could always wet them down and serve them in a bowl. I recommend these treats for any cat. Especially good for the older kitties due to the easy-to-chew factor. Check with your vet before starting any supplements for your kitty.

My old cat started limping, hiding, and yowling in pain just to climb into her cat box. I tried another supplement with omegas, glucosamine, etc. but it just wasn't helping enough. (I didn't want to start with cortisone injections because I have (personally) had them and they made my pain MUCH worse.) In just a few days after starting this supplement, my kitty was back to her old self, playing, climbing stairs, and being sociable. I have been giving her this for two years, at least and she is still doing well. The only downside is that she will only eat it if I pulverize it and mix it into her wet food, and she is a very finicky eater. Nevertheless, this supplement works! In fact, of late, I have been wondering if it's safe for human consumption or if I can find something similar for people!

I had high hopes for these but neither of my cats will eat them. Just a waste of money. They are kind of crumbly, not really soft.

My cat LOVES these treats! At first, it seemed hard for her to eat because the size of it is larger than she’s used to, but that hasn’t stopped her. She hurt her hind leg a few months ago so we got these hoping it would help her heal and strengthen her hip. Hard to know if she’s finally recovering or if these treats have had an effect but her energy is up and is much more active. She’s obviously feeling better! Can’t definitively says its from these but I’d like to think they are helping!

We bought for 1 cat with hip and joint issues. No t only will she not eat it, but our other 2 cats won’t eat it either (she refused it and other two cats did not eat it when it remained in the floor). It may work well but not for my cat(s) who refused to eat it.

After I saw the reviews, I was not sure if my cat would like them. So, when they arrived and my cat ate the nuggets the first two times I fed them to her, I thought we were good and that she liked them. But she quickly turned around. Now, she just completely refuses to eat them. I tried to coax her with other food, fish oil, anything to get her to eat the nuggets. Nothing will do. It's like the first two times novelty was key and that's why she ate them. I can't even tell if this works for her arthritis as she didn't eat them long enough to see a difference. I'm not sure how I will pass them to her. Is it the texture? There are big and they crumble with the smallest pressure. Is it the taste? Maybe. I wish there was other flavours so I could try them out. Obviously, the package suggests to double the dosage for the first two weeks so I bought 2 packs. I may try to turn it into a powder and sprinkle it on her food.

My orange tabby has always been a bit of a crazy girl - jumping off desks and chairs. A while ago I noticed, she had started being a bit careful/stiffer while making her jumps. I started crushing 2 of these into her wet food and within a few months, she was jumping and bouncing with confidence! The stiffness in her legs have improved and she seems much more flexible and comfortable. I'm glad I added this to her daily routine.

This might be a good product but my cat refused to eat any after the third time. They are very hard and he doesn't chew much so he would gag on them. I tried breaking them into smaller pieces but he wasn't interested.
