VetriScience Glycoflex Plus

My very fat 15yo cat managed to get himself hung up on something & ended up tearing a tendon in his leg. Our normal vet was out of town so we had to see the temp vet. She said that the kitty was going to need expensive surgery. Especially because his wt & age would make it very unlikely that it would heal on its own. We were given an antiinflammatory & something for his pain, to try for a wk or 2 & then come in for a recheck. So kitty was avoiding walking & had severe limp when he did walk. He couldn't jump @ all & could not do stairs. He was very obviously in severe pain & just miserable. It was awful! I hate it when my babies aren't well & I can't do anything. So we went to the follow up appt (our normal vet was back). Our vet likes to treat conservatively first. He said surgery would be tough on kitty due to his age & wt, it could be risky. He gave us GlucoFlex & said we'd give it some time & see what happened. WOW!!! After 3 months he was so much better. It is now about 2yrs later & he is doing wonderfully! He didn't just recover from the torn tendon, he has improved in every way to better than he was before he got hurt!!! He has no limp. He is jumping higher & more frequently. He is seeking out the dog for wrestling matches, etc. GlycoFlex reversed the clock - took 5 yrs off his age. Since we had such good results w/kitty, we decided to try the GlycoFlex for dogs for our 15yo Chihuahua. He has bad knees & back problems. He had been on another glycogen supplement for yrs, w/out much affect. After several months on GlycoFlex, he is racing around like he's half his age!!! He is now able to jump up on the couch again. He's pouncy & playful. This stuff truly works wonders!

My cats like the taste and will eat it without hesitation. Been using for years with no issues. The price has been going up too much lately and I may have to reconsider continuing with auto ship.

It’s a good product, expensive but good. I do have one issue with it, and it’s a significant one. The pieces are too big for a cat. Not only too big but too hard. I have to break up one piece into 4-6 pieces and they crumble up a bit and make a mess. Then my cats don’t eat the crumbs and I have to come back and clean it up. They could easily be a 1/3 smaller. They’re almost the size of the hip and joint treats I give my pitbull. I also believe the bag doesn’t keep them very fresh and they get harder throughout the month. That alone is enough for me to find a different product.

I waited a few weeks after administering this to my cat in order to provide a clear and useful review. My 14 year old toothless cat Teddy loves these (thank goodness!) and now comes running when he hears the bag being picked up. I cut the treat into about 9 small slices and he gobbles them right down. His younger sister (3 yrs old) always comes running at that time and wants some too, so I end up giving her something else more age appropriate for her. They both wolf their treats down and are happy, and so am I! As to the efficacy of this product for my 14 year old cat, previously he was getting stiff and groaning whenever he would get up and also whenever I would pick him up. He walked with very stiff legs. He also sometimes missed when jumping up from the floor to the couch, and pretty much stayed in one place all day. I've been giving him one treat daily (he's 9 pounds) and after a week or so, he stopped groaning when getting up from a nap or when we picked him up. He hasn't missed on a jump from the floor to the couch since about the second week, and is walking less stiffly. He's a Persian and a very, very laid back cat who was never one for running much, or doing anything particularly energetic. But the other day I heard cat feet galloping in from the kitchen to the living room (we have wood floors) where I was sitting. I assumed it was my younger cat but no, it was my 14 year old who ran into the room! Of course he laid right down and went to sleep (as he does) but it made me happy to see this improvement. My vet also is familiar with these and says she has seen good results in other cats. I will continue giving these to him as they seem to work pretty well and I am grateful for the improvement and obvious lessening of pain for him!

My vet recommended these for my fur baby that’s getting up there in age. Amazon is the best price I can find for these

My cat loves them and they seem to be helping him.

My cats loves them

C’est les chats errants qui les ont mangé

I am 17 1/2 years young and weigh a whole 6lbs. I am very picky too! mom bought me these because I can't create havoc as I used too. My joints are sore, and it made me depressed. In one week, I am like new! I am racing around without limping and can jump high again. The best part, they are very tasty, and I express myself very vocally when I know mom is giving me some!

My cat is in way less pain, shes more agile and a lot more loving. I'm very happy with these treats, I've tried other brands but shes a picky eater and will refuse to eat them, but she loves the flavour and texture of these ones. I need to break these into smaller pieces for her to eat but she loves the taste ***these treats have gone up $15 dollars in the last year and a half I've had her on them, its very disappointing and has stopped me from ordering them in the past.
