I received this box at a discounted price of $19.97. The price plan for this box is normally $39.95, which I think is a bit high - considering that a lot of these snacks are only one or two bites at most. $20 is definitely a good price point, or even $25, but not $40. I do not think that children would eat some of these snacks (such as the spirulina and beets, but who knows).  Overall, this box offers a good selection of goodies that can be eaten by kids of all ages. :) The shipping didn't take too long to arrive (7 days), and was packaged in the perfect sized box for the amount of product (no waste). I think that if they lowered their price point, they would attract (and keep) more customers as I am a snack box subscriber and like what this box has to offer, but it is beyond my price range. 

I received this product at a heavily discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Advanced Hip & Joint Supplement for Dogs by K-9 Pro

Hello Everyone,

This evening, I have K-9 Pro's Advanced Hip & Joint Supplement for Dogs to be reviewed.
This product can be found via the following link: https://www.amazon.com/K9-Glucosamine-Supplements-Chondroitin-Supplement/dp/B01K68IBCO    #k9pro











This product is intended to: 1.) Support hip & joint health 2.) Promote mobility 3.) Have a great beef flavor!

This product is made in the USA with GMP approval. There are 120 beef flavored chewable tablets in the bottle. Depending on the size/weight of your dog and how long your dog has been taking this product, the serving size is anywhere from 1/2 tablet - 3 tablets daily.

The active ingredients are as follows:

Glucosamine (shellfish source) 800mg.
MSM 400mg
Chondroitin (bovine source) 400mg
Vitamin C 100mg
Manganese 5mg
Grape Seed Extract 5mg
L-Glutathione 2mg
Vitamin E 50IU

I received this product for my German Shepherd/Border Collie, Shadow. Shadow is approximately 6 years of age and weighs just under 60 lbs. She is in great health, showing no signs of hip/joint discomfort (thank goodness!). I am giving her this supplement as a preventative, and due to her weight class, she receives 1 tablet a day.

Shadow doesn't particularly care for the hard tablet by itself. Instead, I crush up the tablet and mix it in with her wet/dry food. I believe that the tablet tastes good, otherwise Shadow would refuse to eat it. The supplement does have a "beefy" aroma to it. Shadow has not had any ill/adverse effects while taking this supplement. She also has plenty of energy and loves to play throughout the day. I take her on frequent walks throughout the day, and she does not appear to be in the slightest bit of distress from her joints (although she is pretty good at tiring me out at times! :) ).

I think that the dosages of the active ingredients (mg) are at good levels (however I have seen some products that have higher levels in them). It would be nice to have this product in a powder form to more easily mix in with the food, rather than having to crush it (for those pets who do not like the texture of the solid tablet) and mix it in with food.

Overall, I am satisfied with this product.
I received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
