My fur baby is an English Mastiff who weighs 182 lbs, I started her on joint care early in life, and I know I made a great decision because this big girl is almost 6 years old, and she’s still jumping off retaining walls in the background as if she’s one!! Those joint supplements are really working. Thanks!
Product is outstanding! Mobility of our two 11 year old Golden Retrievers has increased tremendously. They are romping like pups again and can easily get in and out of the car. Amazing results!
This has changed everything! I have a 100 lb German Shepherd who was showing signs of severe distress when he was getting up and down. I was preparing for the worst. That was two years ago, he is turning 12 this year and I am happy to say he is still going strong. He's been taking it daily. I even started giving it to my 6 year old Mal for preventative maintenance.



I have been using this supplement for my aging and active dogs for numerous years. The single serve pouches make it easy to grab and add to their food each morning. My aging Golden Retriever has been using this for years and he moves and runs with ease. I highly recommend this product.



Us hoomans can tell this product has helped our boy. Lemmy was starting to show signs of right hip issues and did not want to jump into the back seat of our Honda Element, not that high of a jump. Now, after 1.5 months, he looks forward to me saying, CAR!
Highly recommend. They seem to be helping my senior dog, especially with his rear leg. They have a little smell to them, I just don't know if it's unappealing to dogs. My dog eats when it's time so I don't think he minds. I'm definitely seeing an improvement with these.
A bit expensive but it has really helped our 12 year old dog who is still very active. We use it with an assortment of other things for his joints, but this seems to keep us from having to use Metacam on a daily basis, which is great.
Our three Labs are over 9 years old, and they were showing signs of joint issues. After about 3 weeks we noticed definite improvement. They have been on Extend for about 6 months now and are running around like when they were younger.
This has been a miracle worker for our senior Boxer. She could not use her back legs and we feared we would have to put her down. Since starting this product she is a new girl.
I have tried everything for my Great Pyrenees with hip dysplasia and spinal disease. It's expensive, but it is the only product that works out of many I've used.
My 12 year old dog has had joint issues since she was a pup. She does considerably better when taking this supplement. We can tell she has a lot of discomfort without it.
She would be miserable without this, and she is still not great with it. This works better than any other supplement we have tried.
I use this product for my dog, who is already 14 years old and has problems with joints. These supplements are very helpful to him.
My dog is very fussy and I sprinkle this on his food and he eats it. He refused the vet chews.
This supplement is very effective.
Really helps my senior grand dog!
Our senior dog is 13 and this is a must!
This is helping our Blaze with simply walking and getting up.
He gets to keep up with the younger dogs, dogs five or six years younger than he is.
My dog is 7 years old and this seems to keep her moving with ease and pain-free.
My mother heard of this and bought me a box. This product is amazing. I have a 9 year old Lab, and he slipped on a laminate floor and hurt himself. He was limping so bad it was heartbreaking. I don't like giving him prescription pills, as he has had seizures from pills before. This is a miracle worker. First off, I make it into a gravy in his dinner, and he gobbles it down. He is no longer limping, and is getting up quicker. I am so happy I found it. I am going to keep him on this. All I can say is THANK YOU!
About 6 years ago my Husky/Labrador mix started having hip problems. He couldn't do stairs and didn't want to go for walks. He was 8 at the time. I found Extend and the reviews were great so I tried it. It took about 2 months to start working, and after a year I could cut his dose in half. Now, at almost 14 years old, he still gets excited when I put his harness on. This product gave me 6 more years with my best buddy. If you use it consistently and have patience, you will see results. Try it.
My dog has been using this for almost a year now. She had injuries which have led to arthritis. She is 11 years old and we were using a buggy on longer walks with our other dogs. The difference was amazing within a few weeks, the buggy has been used twice. I was sceptical at first but willing to try anything, as she was on tramadol for pain relief. We are down from 4 tabs a day to 1, or 2 if it is wet and cold. She is obviously in less pain and is back to play fighting with her brother. Money wise it is costing the same, but she is a much happier dog.
This product helped both my senior pups. I add a few drops of water to the powder supplement and make a gravy, then I pour it on my dogs' food. My one dog doesn't mind the taste, but my Poodle only took it by syringe. The key is consistency. Once I saw progress I stopped, and I could see a decline. After about 2 to 3 boxes my dogs were running around again, no longer limping after sitting for too long. The price is really high, but you get what you pay for. In this case, a quality supplement. I wish they made one for cats.
This has been a life saver for my Lab/Rottie! She is 12 and got valley fever a while back. She had been having a hard time walking and gets really stiff. We started her on Extend about 5 or 6 months ago, and after the second month she was back to running and playing more. She still has her days where she does too much and has to rest more, but without Extend I don't think she would be walking and playing how she does. She loves this in her food too, we add water and she licks her bowl clean. It doesn't smell and the taste doesn't bother her.
Nothing else works! I began giving this to my German Shepherd 3 years ago when she first started getting signs of sore joints. She is now 10 and although some days are better than others, Extend has allowed my Riley to stay on her feet while looking forward to each morning walk (which is when her arthritis bothers her least) and chasing lizards in the yard throughout each day. She rolls around in the grass and will still take off chasing squirrels across the yard. I know that without Extend, none of this would be happening. Extend has also allowed us to steer clear from prescription meds. I do not think that this supplement just extended her joints, it has extended her life. She loves the taste, and we get by just fine with 1 packet per day despite her being 104 pounds. I believe the powder form allows her body to easily absorb it, because all of the pills or chewable supplements we tried prior never worked.
My 6 year old Airedale Terrier has received a joint chew every day of her life with us. About 6 months ago we noticed that she started limping and holding her right paw up more times than not. We took her to the vet twice only to be told it must be arthritis. Her behavior continued but we couldn't find a resolution for her. I did some research and we decided to give Extend a try, boy are we glad we did, and so is our dog. I waited a full month of use before reviewing this to be sure it was actually working, but it was within a week that we saw marked improvement in our dog. She is now jumping up onto the couch and beds and is truly back to her old self after just 30 days of use. The cost is a bit higher than her last supplement but worth every penny to make my girl feel good and have her mobility back. She gets excited about the little bag of powder being sprinkled on her food and licks the bowl clean, so the taste must be good. We are lifelong customers now. Try it, you won't be disappointed!
I purchased this for my 13 year old Yellow Lab. He was having trouble getting up and I could tell he was in pain. I took him to the vet and they did blood work and checked him out, and said: I have a 13 year old dog. I asked what I could give him, and they said supplements. He has been on glucosamine chews since he was 8 years old. They offered me a prescription, but when I found out the cost for 30 pills for a dog his size, that was a huge no. I went home and started to search for all natural pain relief for dogs and the first thing that came up was Extend. So I read the story someone had posted about it, and I decided to give it a try. It says it takes 4 to 6 weeks to see results. Well, I tell you after 3 weeks I had my boy back. He is running and playing, acting like a puppy. I have told many of my friends about this product and they have started their elder dogs on it as well. The cost for 2 boxes of Extend versus what the prescription would have cost me is a huge savings. It's so good to see my boy back to himself.
We have two older large breed dogs, a Great Dane and a St. Bernard, and as they age, we want a good supplement for their aging joints to keep them in good and pain free physical condition. We've tried a few things, and it's been hit or miss. Either the dogs dislike them, or they tire of them, or we just don't know if it's working or not. With this product, our dogs absolutely LOVE the taste, they lick their bowls clean 2 and 3 times to make sure they've gotten every speck. The amount of Glucosamine and MSM is clearly listed on the packaging too, so there's no guessing. We'll continue monitoring, but the taste alone has been a win and we're already seeing a change in their energy.
Well, let me start off by saying I never really write reviews, but this product deserves one. I have an almost 10 year old 110 lb Black Lab. He's not overweight at all either, everyone always asks if he is mixed with a Great Dane. Very early on, the vets told me he was going to develop severe arthritis. About 3 or 4 years ago he started getting very sore from playing and had a hard time getting up from a sleep position, so that's when I started him on Extend. He improved dramatically, although I didn't really ever give the Extend all the credit since I also started him on some CBD at the same time. About 10 days ago I ran out of Extend and I was about to go on vacation, and thought I'd just order more when I got home, it would make the dog sitter's life easier since it was one less thing. When I came home at about day 6 of him not being on Extend, he was being extremely slow, hanging his head low, having a real hard time getting up, and at that time I hadn't connected the dots on why. By day 8 of no Extend he was crying when he got up, literally broke my heart. I had to carry him down the porch steps to go potty (not an easy task with a 110 lb dog). He just wanted to sleep all day. He is usually an extremely active dog despite his age and his chronic arthritis. By day 10 I got his Extend in the mail and got him back on it immediately. He is already getting better again 1.5 days later. This product literally changes his life. It's hard to believe that he goes from damn near crippled to a happy, mobile, active dog again. I'll make sure I never run low again. Seriously makes a world of difference for him.
We have a German Shepherd Husky mix that has hip dysplasia. We have tried almost every product, medication, and remedy for her. I had pretty high hopes for this product after reading a very heartfelt article when searching Google for something to help her pain. We make this for her every morning and she seems to love it (and yes, I have licked it as well, and it does taste alright, so it gets 5 stars for taste, lol). I haven't had an issue trying to get her to eat it every morning. We bought a two month supply and at first it seemed to work great. She started getting up more easily and her mood changed. We take her for walks every morning and go to the park across the street to play ball, she runs for the first 5 minutes fine and then starts hopping. Just because this didn't work completely for us doesn't mean I'm going to tell you not to try it. Every dog will be different and it may actually help your pup. For our tough case we're exploring surgery too, but Extend has absolutely helped her comfort day to day, and I appreciate the honest formula and how much she enjoys it.
I have an 11 year old female Yellow Lab who has really bad hip dysplasia. We used to get her the steroid shot when she was younger because she had skin problems, this also helped her hips. But as she got older she started getting worse, and the shots were becoming ineffective. We were already giving her a basic joint chew which helped, but wasn't strong enough. One day, a couple weeks ago, she woke up in the morning and couldn't walk. She cried when she would stand and refused to let anyone touch her hips except me. We would have to carry her outside to go to the bathroom, otherwise she would just go in her bed. I was devastated, I thought we were going to have to put my girl down that night, so I dried my eyes and took her down to the vet. The vet prescribed an anti-inflammatory and said give it a couple days for it to kick in, and sent us home. I gave her the pain pills that night to help with the pain, but all that did was mask it, make her drowsy, and she still wouldn't get up, not even for food. I was super unhappy with what the vet said, so I did my own research on more natural methods and ran across a random article about Extend. I thought: why not? If I didn't do something, we were going to put her down. She was not able to cope with the pain even on those pain pills. I ordered Extend and it came the very next day. I cooked her an egg, opened one packet of Extend, mixed it all together, and served it to my Lab. I did this for a few days every morning before I started to notice a difference in her attitude. She was looking forward to her eggs and Extend every morning, she started whining at me until I made them for her. Around the 5th day she started walking on her own and even going swimming again. She hadn't done that in forever. The 6th day she started acting like the boss again with the other dogs and even tried to play. I wish I would've recorded her behavior before and after taking Extend, because this has saved my dog's life. It's been two weeks now since she's been on it and I cannot believe the difference, she can run, swim, jump, and doesn't cry anymore when getting up and down. I am so utterly grateful for this product. I know it's not going to magically fix her hip dysplasia, but it can help her get around better without feeling pain, and that's what matters to me.
My 7 year old Corgi girl was having a very hard time getting around and frequently was unable to get up off the floor or walk without limping or raising her back left leg. If she fell asleep on the floor, she would be crippled trying to walk after just sleeping for a few minutes to a half hour. I was worried, but having long had osteoarthritis myself I could appreciate how disabling the pain could be. I would give her muscle rubs and tried CBD oil, all to no avail. After reading reviews on this product, I decided to give it a try. I didn't have much hope that it would work, but my baby was in pain and I didn't want to go the surgery route the vet said might be necessary. So I took the plunge and bought this product. Well, it's now been a month since I began giving it to her every day, mixed in some heavy cream and a dash of regular milk. I found that she would not eat it if it was put on her wet food, and after trying to mix it in just milk, it would not dissolve. Once I put it in some heavy cream, it dissolved right away, probably because it is fat soluble; then I diluted it with a dash of milk. This she would drink without resistance. It took a bit longer than a week, but I began to notice that she was getting around more easily, and seemingly with less pain. She no longer held her left leg up off the floor when she walked. Today I received my second box of Extend. I am absolutely convinced that it has made all the difference in the world for her! Today, when I opened the door for my other four dogs to go outside, I saw her literally jump up off the floor and run for the door lickety split. She has absolutely gotten better after taking Extend. I highly recommend this product for any dog experiencing pain or difficulty walking or running due to joint problems. I can only praise its efficacy in alleviating the discomfort and increasing the dog's mobility back to a more normal level. It definitely worked on my Corgi sweetheart, and I couldn't be happier for that.

If you have any questions or need help with a return, contact our team and we’ll make it right.
Most joint chews rely on glucosamine as a single ingredient, often at a low dose, in a treat form that depends on your dog finishing the whole chew.
