Our scorecard

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog food and health supplements we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

["This 120 count bag delivers 750 mg of glucosamine HCl sourced from shrimp and crab, 600 mg of green-lipped mussel (GlycOmega brand), 500 mg of MSM, 100 mg of DMG and 10 mg of manganese per chew. It's built as a GlycoFlex formula from VetriScience, a brand with a long track record in the joint supplement space.", "The label markets it for joint health broadly, and it's sized for small, medium and large dogs rather than one narrow size range, which makes it a flexible pick for multi-dog households with different sized pets. At 1.45 pounds per bag, the 120 count supply is meant to cover a daily chewing routine over several months.", "At $37.07, it sits in the middle of the joint chew price range, and with 1,600 reviews at a 4.6 star average, it has a solid but smaller review base than some of VetriScience's other joint lines."]

Performance notes

The pellet-style chew format is designed for palatability as a daily treat rather than a pill that needs to be hidden in food. Because the glucosamine here comes from shellfish rather than a synthetic or bovine source, it's worth flagging for any dog with a known shellfish allergy even though the rest of the formula, including green-lipped mussel and MSM, is a fairly standard joint-support combination.

What buyers say

With 1,621 ratings averaging 4.6 stars and about 1,000 units bought in the past month, this chew has a steady but more modest following compared to some of the higher-volume joint supplements in this category.
