Chewy Monday

Happy Howloween!

The boys are always excited whenever we get a new package from Chewy.  This month we ordered  a 5 ounce bag of Zuke's Enhance Mobility Peanut Butter Formula Dog Treats.  Chewy also offers this product in chicken flavor.  Both chi's are senior citizens now and while their mobility seems to be just fine, one can always use an extra layer of support.  It's designed specifically for hip and joint health and is perfect for senior dogs.

The dosage you give depends on weight.  My boys weigh less than 25 pounds combined, so they each get one chew daily.  You could give them a double dose during the first four to six weeks of use, but I only gave them one.  I somehow glossed over the cautions section until now and haven't always administered the treat before or after eating.  This explains Shiver's upset stomach and now I know how I could have avoided that.  It does not seem to have bothered Chico's stomach at all, which isn't as sensitive as Shiver's.  I also didn't heed Zuke's advice to have an exam by a vet prior to using the product.

As you can see, each bite is the ideal size for small mouths.  Shiver gobbles them down; Chico doesn't have as many teeth and it takes him a little longer to eat them.  The boys have only been on these for about 10 days.  I've not noticed a change in Shiver, however, his mobility has never been an issue.  Chico does seem to have a slightly easier time going up and down the two stairs in the garage whenever he goes out.  I'll continue Chico on these for sure.  At only $7.99 a bag, it will be well worth it.

The boys give these 7 paws up out of 8.

We were not compensated financially for this post, but were provided a free bag of treats in return for our honest opinions.
