My how times have changed. I remember when buying a big bag of milk bones constituted my dogs' treats for a month, and I thought all those colors were so pretty! Now I know better. Those cute colors came from artificial dyes and were probably toxic. We know so much more now about ingredients in our own food and also in our dogs'. I read labels all the time, and after the recent pet food recall I am vigilant about what goes into my babies' mouths. It's never worth taking a chance. Thank goodness that more and more companies are now manufacturing totally safe pet food and treats with all-natural, domestic ingredients that not only don't harm our pets, but very often will help them. One of my dogs is a collie with hip and joint problems. I love giving her treats that taste great, and at the same time offer a quick dose of glucosamine and chondroitin to help keep her mobile. One of my terriers is a little overweight, so he gets low-fat goodies. Many varieties offer help with teeth-cleaning, and that's good for all dogs. Make sure you only buy treats you trust, or they may end up just being nasty little tricks!
Customer ReviewsI am really amazed by these treats

Indy, our family golden retriever, is 11 years old. He is starting to get old and is dealing with all of the ailments that come along with old age along with cushings disease and tumors. The biggest change we noticed in Indy with his old age is that he has had a hard time getting up from the lay down position. When he was younger, he'd be able to just pop up right onto his feet and stand up. As he got older, he started groaning as he would have to get up and it would take a few attempts before he could finally get himself up on his feet. I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the treats. I wasn't sure if they actually would work and help out Indy with his aching joints.
I followed the instructions and gave the recommended two treats for medium/large dogs to Indy every day. He LOVED the taste. He gobbled them right up. I don't think he even had to chew! So if you have a small dog, I would recommend you to break it up into pieces before giving it to them so they don't choke on it. So the Zukes Hip Action Treats get an A+ for taste.
After feeding Indy all of his treats, two weeks later I decided to let him lay down and then call him over for treats to see how he did with getting up from the lay down position. I was amazed. He was able to get right up with no moaning or groaning and not a single look of pain in his face.
I am really amazed by these treats. They work wonders. I will continue to give Indy Zukes Hip Action treats into his old age. What a great product!!

Our little Maltese has had issues with her back and hips since birth. Finding something that is made to be helpful, while also being a treat, was such a fun surprise! She is happy to get a treat, and it really does seem like they help a bit.
We are excited to see how much they help her improve as we continue to give them to her. They are big, which means that each treat can last a few days for a small dog (as we break them into little bite sizes for Baby). What a great product. These treats are very fresh!

Sprocket has been trying the Zuke's Hip Action natural treats for hip and joint health. At first, I wasn't sure if he liked them, because he ran and buried his treat - something I have never seen him do with any other treat. But each day that I gave him a new one, he would bury it, then bring out the previous day's treat and devour it. Now he eats them as soon as he gets them.
I notice that he instantly gets a burst of energy after he eats them, and he is running strong as ever. Just in time too, because his vet recently noticed he has a bad knee. I will continue to give them to him so he stays strong and healthy. His favorite thing to do is run with us in the mountains, so its important.
The only suggestion I could make is that the treats are kind of big for a little dog. Owner

I love the Hip Action treats. We have a 4 yr. old miniature yorkshire terrier with back leg issues and a 16 yr. old australian shepherd with arthritis. They do wonders for both of them. Mobility and pain levels are much better. Wish they weren't so expensive but they do work. Can't wait!
