Virbac MOVOFLEX® Soft Chews | Hip and Joint Support Supplement for Medium Dogs (60 Count) | Veterinarian Formulated

When we first adopted our medium-sized girl, bless her heart, she was what you might call a "stunt double in training." Watching her walk was an anxiety-inducing adventure—a little stumble here, a tiny, awkward collapse there. We loved her, but we also bought stock in bubble wrap just in case she decided to take a running leap off the sofa. Then came the MOVOFLEX Soft Chews. I swear, these things aren't joint support; they're tiny, bacon-flavored energy cores forged in the heart of an athletic god. Within a few weeks, the stumbles stopped. The "Oh no, did she just forget how legs work?" moments vanished. Now? Now, she moves with the reckless abandon of a puppy who just discovered caffeine. She launches herself off the porch like she's aiming for the moon. She executes high-speed, 90-degree turns on hardwood floors. I’m pretty sure she spent the afternoon trying to teach the squirrels how to breakdance. I once saw her fetch a toy, slide to a perfect stop, and give me a look that said, "See this? This is peak performance. You're welcome." If your dog is currently operating at "Elderly Roomba" mode, get them on MOVOFLEX. Just be prepared: you're not getting a supplement, you're getting a tiny, furry athlete with an unnatural love for chasing shadows and absolutely zero respect for the laws of physics. My only complaint is that I need an adult-sized version just to keep up with her! Raving? Absolutely! Hilarious? Only if you enjoy watching your dog become a master of parkour! P.S. to Virbac: Could you maybe make a doggie helmet? Just for my peace of mind. Thanks!

Soft and easy to chew supplement for our dog. It has been a great addition to her diet, and she seems to like the taste. Took about 2 weeks to see an improvement in her mobility. We use a daily pill minder to ensure she receives the correct, daily dosage - it's worked perfectly.

My dogs originally only used Phycox supplement for pain relief. But, I eventually had to add this product, per my vet’s suggestion. I’ve been using this product in conjunction with Phycox, for many years now. It works well for dogs with mild to moderate arthritis or joint pain. I have a dog with moderate arthritis and joint pain, and he would limp around pretty badly every day. After a couple weeks of using this product, he stopped limping. If your dog has severe arthritis, this product may not be quite enough on its own. I also have another dog with severe arthritis and joint pain. This product doesn’t work well enough for him on its own. So, he also takes other prescription anti-inflammatory meds, along with this supplement, and Phycox supplement. It sometimes takes 2-3 weeks to see optimal results after starting this product. So, you may have to give it some time, before seeing good results. It is a bit expensive, which is hard on the wallet. I have 3 senior dachshunds that use this product. I usually buy 2-3 containers each time because each time I run out, the price usually has gone up. But, my dogs need it, so I have to continue dealing with price hikes every time I make another purchase. Make sure you check out other sellers’ prices before buying. You may find one that sells it a bit cheaper. Sometimes, I buy from eBay if I find it selling cheaper on there. Also, I used to always buy the correct weight category for my 15-20lb dogs. But, since the price kept going up, I now buy the container for dogs over 80lbs. This way, I can cut one chew into 4 pieces. I get 4 doses out of one piece for my dogs (each cut piece will work for one of my 15-20lb dogs). I get a lot more doses for my money this way. Vets or sellers won’t tell us it’s ok to do this, since they don’t want to be liable for telling anyone to do so. But, I’ve been doing it this way for 8 months. It works well for my dogs. Just ensure your dog gets enough for his weight. I use a container for several months and it never dries out or crumbles. Just keep the container closed tightly. The expiration date is usuallly a year or more out from the date of purchase. I’m not a vet...I’m just showing what I do to save money. It does work this way, for anyone who is on a budget or has multiple pets using this product.

My 8 year old bulldogge has responded well to taking one of theses a day. He gets around much easier, no limping.

I have used these for both my great dane and two chihuahuas (one of which tore her ACL, but that's another story). Our great dane had no issue with eating these; my picky chihuahua is eh; and my other chihuahua, who would trade me for a chicken nugget, sticks her nose up at them but will eventually eat them if I'm stern enough. So great product, their mobility and walking is great using them, it just takes a lot of effort to get them to actually eat them. Plus, they smell kind of bad. :(

Excellent product. Helped my dog.

Recommend by my vet. Never upset their tummies. Easy to give.

I've got an 8 year-old boxer that has always been very active. As he's gotten older, he still thinks he's a puppy and still plays hard, regardless of the consequences. I've noticed him being stiff when he wakes up more and more often, and it's not uncommon to see him walk with a limp after playing really hard. He does daycare a his vet's office five or six days per week while I'm at work so he's always on the move. I decided to look for a joint supplement and two things really drew me to trying Movoflex. First, it seems like a good product that vets recommend. I actually ran across it as a recommendation on PetMD, and then started looking for other references to it. Everything I found was positive. The second, but no less important factor was that it seems to be well-tolerated by picky eaters. You can stick a pill in a whole hotdog and Brody will eat the hotdog, then spit the pill out. He's not having it. He will turn his nose up at anything he thinks is medicine. So I bought this product knowing I may be wasting $60, but it was worth a try. On the latter point, thankfully, he really, really likes these. He gets mad if I forget to put it in his food bowl in the morning and starts sniffing around the table looking for it. It smells pretty bad to me, but it doesn't linger after he eats it, and dogs do like smelly stuff. One down. As for effectiveness, he's been on it for a few weeks now, and I have noticed he doesn't seem stiff at all when he gets up. He also hasn't limped since a few days in. So it does appear to be having a positive effect. The only negative I can think of is that his stool did get a little soft for a few days, and that could be from the slight change to his diet, or it could have just been something unrelated. It's been back to normal since then, though. I wouldn't say it's been a night and day change in him, because again, he has always had high energy. His stiffness was relatively minor to begin with. But so far it does appear to be working, and I'll take that. If he's feeling good, I'm feeling good. Hopefully, this will help keep him happy and active for many years to come.
