Natural Science - Joint Supplement, 2 Packs of 60 Count- 120 Total

Human: I have been giving these twice a day to my 11 year old buns. My boy was so bothered by arthritis he stopped jumping up on the couch for his evening snuggle and was even reluctant to stand up on his hind legs. He needed metacam every day for a while, but after a few months of cookies, he no longer needs it accept on rare occasions. He continues to jump up on things for snuggling or attempts to commit grand larceny of people snacks.Rabbits: COOKIES! DELICIOUS COOKIES! nomnomnomnom.

I have had two bunnies over the years with arthritis. Chloe was my first - she is my rainbow bridge bun who had arthritis in her hip over the last few months of her life. Her vet recommended these along with Meloxacam and eventually Tramadol. She went from barely being able to stand straight and having horrible urine scans from urinating down the side of her leg to being able to have almost full range of lotion and the ability to go to the bathroom normally (although not enough to use her litter box, but used a potty pad). McGee is 11 and developed arthritis in his spine this past summer. I thought I was going to have to make that tough choice because of his pain level and refusing to eat or drink on his own. His vet diagnosed him with arthritis and he started Meloxocam every other day. I tried giving him these supplements but he would not take them. I read the formula changed, along with the flavor. With the change in weather his pain increased and his dose of Meloxocam did as well. His vet suggested another joint supplement and I ordered it. I tried giving the Oxbow supplement another try. Day one McGee only ate one bite and gave me “the bum”. I tried again the next day and this time he ate the supplement right away. Now he comes right over first thing in the morning for his supplement (and medicine) and his “cookie” is gone before his pellets are even touched. McGee went from being a bunny who needed help getting in and out of his hutch to being an escape artist. He’s also using his litter box more often. If not for all the gray on his muzzle and his moon eyes from cataracts, I’d think he were only two or three years old watching him run around now. I’m also seeing him stretch out in the sun more often. This may not be the only cause of his relief, but I believe it is certainly helping him live a much more comfortable life. I also believe it did the same for Chloe.

I bought this product to try to help my 14 year old rabbit who was very stiff and did not move around a lot. At first she did not like it, and I had a bit of a problem trying to get her to eat one. After a few days of the battle of the wills, she was more receptive. I do soak the tab for about 3 minutes in a few tablespoons warm water and turn the tab over after half of the soaking time because without soaking, the tab is hard as a rock. I hand feed the tab to her in small pieces because she will not eat it without some coaxing. All of this has paid off because I have noticed a distinct change in her mobility after about 1 week of use. For the first time in a long time, she is hopping around to explore and move. Previous movement was restricted to eating and toileting purposes. She weighs 4 pounds and I am giving her 1 tab in the morning and 1 at night. Hopefully, this will continue and if something changes, I'll update the review.

This review is more about the specifics of my order getting messed up rather than the product. My rabbit loves the joint support but only after softened for a bit in warm water because they are quite hard. I made this order for my senior rabbit who has recently been diagnosed with arthritis. I ordered the 2-pack of the joint support but ended up receiving 1 joint support and 1 urinary tract support. Unfortunately, there was no way to correct this error without sending both packages back. Glucosamine takes about 4 weeks to make a difference so I wanted to get her started on supplements right away. I figured the urinary tract support also has glucosamine - but only half as much - so maybe could make it work. But my bun doesn’t like the urinary tract supplements at all and will barely touch it, even after steeping with her favorite herbs and goodies to make it more palatable. Getting her to eat 2x as much of the urinary tract support is going to be rough and on top of that it means I will basically have 75% of the daily glucosamine that I intended to purchase. I’m not sure what recourse there is here but maybe my experience can help others in the same predicament - if you get the wrong order and don’t want to wait for a replacement like I did, maybe have whatever supplement you are wanting on hand before you place an order just in case you need to return it.

I have 3 buns. 2 are pushing 6 years old. I noticed they weren’t as mobile as they used to be which is apart of growing older, so I bought these treats in hopes that they’d feel better. THEY LOVE THEM AND THEY ARE VERY MOBILE NOW. they get up and run around way more and are less grumpy. If you got a grumpy lazy aging bunny get these for them! I give my girls 1 a day in the morning and they’re in a great mood! If there’s a day I forget they Deff let me know about it (I get mean mugged all day) lol

My bunny is 9 1/2. She is very healthy. I added these to her diet about a year or so ago, recommended by her vet. I give her one a day. She's never been one to do Bunny 500s, but she still jumps up and down from my bed with ease. The treats are a little hard, so I always snap them in half. I recommend doing that if your bunny doesn't seem interested at first.

I have a senior rabbit with arthritis. My vet recommended this supplement for him. My rabbit likes them, so that is convenient. Having to only feed him one a day the price is reasonable. What is interesting is that my other senior rabbit doesn't like them and won't eat them. Not for all bunnies, I guess. I would recommend this product to any pet owner that needs to help support their herbivore's joints. Probably unlikely that most rabbits won't find it palatable.

At first I thought that the biscuits/wafers were too hard for my senior rabbit, so I had to cut it into bite sized morsels or he wouldn’t eat it. This was hard to do because they were, well, hard. Figured out that soaking in a few drops of water did the trick. He loves them!
