I just want you to know how Hip Flex has helped my 9 year old Doberman. I have tried several other products and I guess they helped, but nothing like Hip Flex. He now thinks he is a young man again. Thank you for Hip Flex!

Hi. We spoke on the phone and you helped me make sure my local pet shop continued to get your Hip Bones dog treats. My Border Collie Macie just loves them. We compete in agility together and I just love the idea that she can have a healthy treat that supports her joint health. They smell wonderful too! Is there a way for you to contact vendors who attend Agility Trials so they can offer your product to sell? There are quite few vendors selling assorted dog treats, but none as helpful as your product. I am sure other Agility dog owners would really express an interest in Hip Bones. Please let me know if I can be of any help to you and you company. You probably talk to a lot of people and don't remember me, but I did enjoy speaking with you and you were most helpful. Thank you and have a nice day

You may remember me from the Pet Supplies Plus Merchandising Show.  I am one of the owners of the new store being built in the Port Orange, FL. area.  At the show I was telling you about our nine year old Golden Retriever.  He seems to suffer from stiff joints and was having a hard time getting up and moving around. 
I have been faithfully giving him the Hip Flex Chewable For Joint Health, as well as the Hip Bones once a day for the past three weeks or so.  We feel that Sisqo has definitely responded favorably to these treats.  Not only does he come running for the bag when he hears it in the morning, but he truly loves the flavor, and more importantly we have seen a huge improvement in his mobility.  I think we will continue with this regimen and will pass this information on to our store managers for our future costumers experiencing the same with
their dogs.  I thank you and wish you continued success in the pet food industry.
Sincerely,
Martha Moisan, Pet Supplies Plus - Port Orange, FL

We got one of your products (Hip Flex) for our Golden Retriever who is getting older and was really dragging around a bit, acting like he didn't want to go up stairs, etc. After a few days of your supplement, he is acting like his old rambunctious self. The change is really amazing.

A couple of years ago I started to realize my then 9 yr. old German Shorthaired Pointer "Zeke" was starting to show his age.   We have literally spent tens-of -thousands of hours in hot  pursuit of various game birds across this great country. Just as I was bracing myself for the inevitable reality of arthritis (and all of the heartbreak that comes with watching my best hunting partner waste away) I came to hear about Hip Bones. Within three months I noticed Zeke's clock had been turned back at least TWO YEARS!!! Last month, on Zeke's 11th birthday we went to the vet for his annual check-up. I nearly fell over when she estimated my "old guy " to be six years old.  Yesterday, I took my trusty shorthair for a day-long partridge hunt with his one year old son, and I'm elated to say, I COULD HARDLY TELL THE TWO APART! I highly recommend your products to any dog owner. If these kind of results can be achieved with such late treatment, for such a hard-hunted dog, what can the power of Hip Bones do for a "normal" dog? Thank you for giving me more time to enjoy such a fantastic best friend!

I just wanted to send you a short message to let you know how wonderful your Hip Bones products were. .. I have two Mini Schnauzers who just love them and they’re still going strong at 10 years old! Just like puppies! Thank you for making a HEALTHY product and MADE IN THE USA was a selling point when I first picked them up.

When the people from Tomlyn & Overby Farm were here for training on the Hip Bones, they gave us several sample bags of products.  I gave my bag of the regular Hip Bones to my dad for his Border Collie, Kate.  Kate will be 10 in December and is a typical farm dog - she loves to ride in the back of dads pickup whenever he runs errands, does chores or checks cows.  She takes it as her personal responsibility to make sure the chickens and barn cats are herded where she wants them to be - several times daily - especially if there is someone there to watch her!  In her younger years, my dad saying "Get in if you want to go, Kate." was all it took for her to jump over the endgate of dads pickup and be on their way to whatever new adventure the day held.  As Kate has aged, jumping over the endgate has become too much for her, so dad would lower the endgate so she could get in.  In the past couple years, even that was a lot for her to do, so dad started backing the truck down a little incline which would put the endgate lower and make it easier for her to get in the truck.  My dad is 80 and doesn't need to be lifting a dog into the back end of a truck!
 
When Kate ran out of the package of Hip Bones, dad asked me to get more for her which I did.  I'm not sure just how long Kate has been enjoying the Hip Bones, but I would guess since early to mid June - shortly after our training, which I think was early June.  I talked to my mom last night and for some reason asked her if Kate just liked the Hip Bones or if they thought Hip Bones were helping her.  My mom replied that I had asked her that question at just the right time.  That morning, Mom, Dad & Kate went on their normal Thursday morning drive to check cattle in a pasture about 30 miles from home.  Dad stopped the truck in the pasture so he could count the cattle and Kate could take her weekly dip in the pond.  Dad had parked the truck on a downhill slope, which made the rear end of the truck be quite a ways higher than normal.  Kate jumped out and went for her swim.  The next thing they knew, Kate was back in the pickup!  Mom & Dad were both amazed as she would have never been able to do that 6 months ago!  Mom said that until that, seeing her every day just doing normal things, she didn't think she was acting any different than normal, but they both agree that it had to have been the Hip Bones because nothing else in her life has changed.
 
Just wanted to share this with you - thought you would enjoy!

Thank you so much for this product. Two years ago we were told our family companion, Mahlah Maye a then 8 year old mixed Swiss Mountain, would need hip surgery but her heart was also weak--the vet told us it was a risk either way. I am a nurse and I saw the x-rays. Mahlah has extreme loss of cartilage, I told the vet I didn't know how she could even walk--he agreed. I couldn't bear the thought that she might not make it through surgery, so we chose not to do it--we thought we would continue to monitor her and see how things went. We found your product --Hip Bones (Cherry) and I remembered that my mother swore that cherry juice helped relieve her arthritic pain. So, we started to give Mahlah one in the morning and one at night. Not only does she love them but she is doing great!!!. Sure she still has DJD with Hip Dysplagia; but she runs, jumps, plays and even climbs stairs. If I run out I notice that her walk slows and she takes more time to get up and down. From my entire family--including our now 10 year old Mahlah Maye...Thank you so much please never stop making these miraculous treats. Sincerely,

Just to let you know, I believe in your products big time. I have an 18 year old cat (with thyroid problems, takes meds daily) who is very picky about food (food allergies too.). When we got home from vacation she looked haggard. Got her back in routine, and my husband brought home the glucosamine/antioxidant/berry formula treats (Hip Flex Feline). After ten days, I noticed how much better she was moving and jumping. Even lets me pet her all the way down her back!
Just started the 10 year old Great Dane yesterday (on Hip Flex), so we're hoping to see improvement there too!
Thanks for your work, and your products!!

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how well Sam is doing (on Hip Bones and Hip Flex combination).  He is feeling well enough to go for walks now. He used to avoid me if I had his leash, now we walk two miles almost everyday and he drags me down the trail both directions. He has become his old self again. He has always had a smile on his face, but now I actually think it’s real! Thank you so much for making a product that makes my dog feel like being a dog again.

I have a fifteen year old cat with bad hips, and probably bad knees and other joints. She was really depressed, to the point where we'd have to take her food to her on the couch because she wouldn't/couldn't walk to where it usually is. I don't know what I expected from these treats (Hip Flex Feline), but it's been dramatic. She's playing with her toys again, she's chasing the younger cats around the house, and she just looks *happy*. I've only had her 6 months, and I've never seen her look happy. Oh, and she finally likes me now, since I'm giving her treats everyday. ;) I don't know what they put in these treats, but if my cat's happy, I'm happy.

My cousin brought us a bag of "Hip Bones" when she came to visit us. We've been giving them to our older golden and she LOVES them! They do seem to give her more energy and pep. She's had hip surgery on the same hip, twice, and is continuing to have trouble, probably arthritis. But, now she seems to be able to keep up with our other, younger, golden more easily, running and jumping. We live on the western slope of Colorado, 60 miles from Aspen, 60 miles from Vail, 60 miles from Grand Junction and 30 miles from Glenwood Springs. If you don't have a distributor in this area, we would be glad to take them around to the pet stores and see if they would be willing to carry them in their stores. Let us know if we can help get Hip Bones out there, we love them!

I wanted to share a couple things with you.  On Aug 18th our precious Bo went to be with Jesus.  She had a tumor in her tummy that bled inside her and took her away faster than anyone could blink.   That has been so hard.  We were giving her one dose of Hip Flex for preventative purposes (she was 80 lbs) and 10 months ago she began to fall daily (due to her back leg having surgery 10 years ago) so we tripled and quad the dosage and from the start and from then on she had only fallen about 2 times.  We rave about your products and have actually lived the results with our precious Bo.  I have attached several photos of our beauty and us of course so now you have a face with the name! So thank you for creating a wonderful product that gave Bo a great last 10 months.  We love you for it!

Our 16 year old  Orange Tabby had resorted to spending his days on the coach or laying in the sun in front of our huge bay window not doing much of anything.  He had slowed down dramatically over the past year not wanted to play with his stuffed dog or even chase our Labs around the house.  This all changed when we put him on Hip Flex Feline.  T.C. was like a whole new cat.  Within 3 weeks he started to race around the house with his stuffed dog in his mouth like a kitten.  Running up and down the stairs at full speed.  He was able to leap up to the bookshelf again and even chases our 4 year old Black Lab down the hallways.  I can't believe the transformation in him.  This is truly an amazing product and I will never be without it again.

Hello! My name is Deb...We have a family pet named Chloe. Chloe is a 12 year oldYorkie who has been with us since she was six weeks old. We've had her ever since ourkids were pre-teens so she is a part of our family, of course! In the last year she was showing signs of weakness in her back muscles (hip) and not much stamina. We had not taken her back to the Vet because as you can see she is getting older and we just thought they would drug her. Chloe was unable to stand on her back two paws without toppling over. It was sad to think she was deteriorating like this. She also seemed in a lot of pain, so we guessed a touch of arthritis.

Last fall, we had taken her to a new place here in Monroe, where we live for grooming. Stay and Play is the name of the business. As we were waiting for Chloe, my daughter noticed Hip Bones. We are believers in natural ingredients for healing so we bought a bag. This has been just since around Thanksgiving and Chloe is a whole new dog!!!!!! She is able to balance herself on her back paws with no effort, goes up and down the stairs almost with the same zip she did as a pup and even jumps up and down on the couch with much less effort! Best of all, she has lost that look of pain in her eyes...Thank you! Thank you! It was only a short time that she improved, within a month of starting Hip Bones. Wow! I'm tempted to start eating them myself!

It was the most AMAZING thing.   I know the dates because we were traveling. On the weekend of my birthday, September 23rd, we drove with Bailey (my dog) to my parents’ house in Ohio.  During that trip Bailey could not get into our car (a Chevy Venture); as such, we had to lift her each time we stopped while in route. 

We returned to Columbus during the weekend of October 21st.  (My husband ran the Columbus Marathon that weekend- I only mention it because this has allowed me to remember all of the dates).  My husband, I should mention, is a natural skeptic and was doubting the touted benefits of the Hip Flex; but we dutifully gave her 4-6 treats a day during this period of time, nonetheless.  When my husband stopped for coffee in Bowling Green he indicated, “Oh, I forgot, you have to see this.”  When we took Bailey to the gate of the car the most amazing thing happened.  She CLEARED it.  Not just got in, she SAILED over it.  It was a sight to behold.

My father-in-law heard what we had to say, and promptly order Hip Flex (and Hip Bones) from the web for both his dog and my brother-in-law’s.  (You may start seeing regular orders from Central, Ohio).

I met Carol at Specialty Pet in Plymouth on Sunday. She gave me a sample of Hip Flex Feline.
I was wondering if my cat would even try these treats. Well, that question was quickly answered.
I put a Hip Flex Feline in one hand and her usual well-loved treat (Breeder's Cup Active Care Healthy Joint Treats) in my other hand. She started making a beeline for the Hip Flex Feline. So I actually moved her usual treat closer to her...and she actually pushed past her usual treat to go for the Hip Flex Feline! I swear, even only after a couple of days of the Hip Flex Feline, my 12-year old cat is much more playful and active. Please tell me where I can get more.

We own a lab cross and she was a rescue dog. The closest we can determine her age is around 15. She has the hip and joint problems. We had almost decided to have her put down as we know that she is in a lot of pain and the owner of Capital City Pets here in Olympia gave us a sample of your product. It has helped and we are hoping to obtain more of your product from our groomer. We love Pepper very much but we want her to have the best life we can give her. I am also a degenerative joint disease and understand the pain and discomfort. Thank you sincerely

About one year ago I was looking for a supplement to help my mixed aged household of dogs. We have a three year old very active english pointer, an active 7 year old boxer and an aging but still active 11 year old pit bull mix named Daisy. I stumbled across an ad for Hip Bones and was intrigued. I started including them in my pets diet. I felt with all the added benefits it couldn’t hurt. Now, part of the reason we need a supplement was that my 11 year old dog was slowing down and was sore in her hips after trying to keep up with the younger dogs. That is when I discovered the Hip Flex. Within a month of adding the Hip Flex to her diet I noticed that she was picking up speed and had more pep in her step. Between the Hip Flex, a high quality diet and regular exercise my "old" thinks she is a youngster all over again. Thanks

My 11 year old Old English Sheepdog has begun to show the signs of weary joints. About a year ago, I had begun to watch him take a little longer to move from a lying down to a standing position. I had purchased a supplement containing glucosamine and chrondrotin and was not really certain it was helping but continued to give to him thinking it could not hurt. Then, my friend told me about Hip Bones! Windsor LOVES the taste and eats them like a treat. Additionally, I have purchased the chewables (Hip Flex) formula and that sluggish movement is not as prevalent as it used to be. I also believe he is better able to keep up with his friend chasing her around the yard faster than previously. With the age difference of 8 years, that's quite a feat! I am a convinced customer!

Since my dog is Sr. citizen (72 est. age) I thought I would supplement his diet w/the Hip Bones Tart Cherry Dog Biscuits. I was thrilled they’re a natural product and I use ‘cherry juice’ remedy for my rare gout problems. I felt it couldn’t hurt my dog. He’s been almost ‘break dancing’ to get one of these treats! His vet agreed that they look like a good product. In fact, my dog just had a CBC and the vet remarked: Whatever you’re doing KEEP DOING because his blood work is FANTASTIC for someone his age! I and my dog recommend them 4 paws up! Fran Bredy and her pooch!

Just wanted to let you know, we love your Hip Bones. My 7 year old mix was having a difficult time going up the stairs. We had taken her to the vet and underwent a series of tests. They suggested putting her under and doing xrays. I had just lost a dog several months prior and was not about to risk having anything happen to this one. We decided to do some research and try homeopathic alternatives. I started reading about the tart cherry extract and decided it was well worth a shot. Within two weeks our dog was running up the stairs. She is back to her energetic, playful self and we are so greatful. We do have a difficult time finding the treats. I have only found one place that sells them so far and they do not always have them in stock. We just wanted to let you know what your product has done for our baby and to say thank you.

Thank you for the bag of Hip Bones that you gave me at the Las Vegas Show. Sid and Abby have gone through the first bag and I am ordering a 6-pak now. I can't seem to find them here in CA. Anyway, I was "pugsitting" for our friend's dog Maddie and she is now hooked on them, so we are giving them a starter supply.

We are no longer giving them glucosamine and we have noticed no other change other than they devour the hip bones while we had to bury the old tablets in their food or they would spit them out. I have given your info to one of our local Belmont pet boutiques so they may be contacting you. You have three new pug customers for life.

My husband saw an article in the newspaper about you and from there I went to your website and the rest is history. My Golden, Lucky, had 2 rear leg surgeries for ligament problems, my Chow/Rottweiller, Sasha, had one leg surgery for the same thing, my SharPei/Sheperd, Maximus, had surgery for a pittala injury and your formula has worked wonders with all of them.

“We have an 11 year old Sheltie with bad arthritis. She could barely stand up. The vet put her on Rimadyl, warning us of the possible side effects. When we heard about Hip Bones we gave them a try, slowly taking her from the pill to the bones. You cannot believe how happy we are that the bones work just as well as the pills. She is now totally off the pills and only on a bone a day. We no longer need to worry about the side effects of the pill. Our vet checked her over and was very pleased with the results. Shammie is running, jumping and playing. Thank you for sharing your product!”
