Our GlycoFlex®* joint support supplements are some of our most popular products, used for dogs & cats of all ages to help them live their best, most active lives. They're clinically tested and adventure approved.
However, we're constantly researching and learning more about joint health in pets and how supplementation can help support, improve, and even extend quality of life. After careful consideration, it was time for some changes to GlycoFlex® for cats and dogs.
Now, a few of our legacy products may be leaving the shelves, but our best-selling joint supplements are here to stay—with a brand-new look and feel!
In the fall of 2024, our line of GlycoFlex® supplements for dogs and cats was rebranded as our NEW Healthy Hip & Joint line.
Don't worry if the GlycoFlex® product you've been using is being discontinued—we make it easy to switch.
Since all our hip & joint support formulas are made with similar base ingredients and flavors, most pets can switch from one product to another without a problem. There have been no significant changes to any of our mobility formulas during the rebrand, so you can shop with confidence!
