We love to hear from our canine customers about how well FlexPet is working for them. Of course the feedback tends to come from their humans, but we think it’s important to share their stories. We recently received this glowing review from Fenster’s human, Ray.
“Fenster has benefited greatly from these supplements. He had an issue with one of his rear legs, which made it difficult for him to sleep, to rise from a reclining position, and he typically ran with three legs, with a noticeable limp. After several weeks of the FlexPet, he now sleeps peacefully, against me, runs and walks with no limp, and has quit licking the leg.
One of his most notable tricks was to sit, when we asked him to “park his can.” But before FlexPet, his knee was so sore that he would decline a visible treat, and express his disapproval for the request with a muted “woof.” When we asked him to do ANYTHING else, he would instantly comply, and wag his tail when he got his treat. As he improved, he would squat, which, as we understood his discomfort, was good enough for us. But after about six weeks with the FlexPet, his “can” would hit the floor, almost in anticipation of the request, and he now “parks his can” as willingly as he does his other tricks. He now no longer has a limp, and no longer hesitates when someone rings the doorbell. He also greets us at the end of the day, at a dead run, with a huge smile on his face now. He is the only dog I have ever owned capable of smiling when he sees us.”
We are happy to hear that Fenster has had such a life changing experience with FlexPet and hope he continues to brighten his humans’ days with his addictive smile! Thanks for sharing your story with us Ray.
Everyone loves a cute, active, adorable little puppy…which means they spend very little time in shelters. But that’s not quite the case with older dogs. A senior dog can spend an extended period of time calling a shelter home because they are often overlooked by adoptive families. But there are some big benefits to adopting a senior dog and Elizabeth is here to share those with our FlexPet customers.
Hi, I’m Elizabeth, a 7 year old English Setter. Yes, I am an older gal and may be losing my hearing, which is why I was surrendered. I startle easily because I can’t hear you approaching me. So I would do best with a new mom or dad who moves slowly as well. I’d fit very well into a senior’s home. I consider myself to be great company! I did, however, live with a 12 year old child and was very good, so it’s not out of the question for me to be a good fit in a family with older kids as well. I also have a touch of arthritis and some hip problems, but it’s all under control and I’m feeling much better these days since my friends at Animal Ark shelter started me on a FlexPet with CM8 regimen. The natural anti inflammatory components of FlexPet are working wonders on my joint and hip pain and have allowed me to move more freely without pain. I am a big proponent of natural arthritis remedies because I hate the side effects of other prescription drugs and pain killers. Because of my age, I don’t play much or need much exercise, so I’m low maintenance in those areas. I am cautious around other dogs but have done well with cats. One of the biggest benefits to taking a dog like me home is that I am housebroken, which makes like a lot better for my human friends! I hope you will take a look at my profile on the Animal Ark website or call my friends at (651) 772-8983 to discuss bringing me home.
UPDATE: We are very happy to report that due to the Animal Ark Seniors 4 Seniors adoption drive, Elizabeth has found a new home!
Watch this video about Chupita, the chihuahua, and learn how FlexPet helped her with her canine arthritis in the leg. Chupita, who’s 13, wasn’t expected to make a recovery. She was limping and had a hard time using her back leg. Chupita’s owner came across FlexPet and tried it out. To her surprise it completely stopped the limping and Chupita is enjoying life!

We get lots of stories from our customers about the great changes they’ve seen since giving their pet FlexPet for joint pain and stiffness. Here’s a great one from Brooklyn the dog and his person Nita:
“Hi there! My 9 year old yellow lab, Brooklyn, had been an active dog for his first 7 years, hiking camping, swimming AND constant ball chasing. About 2 years ago he started slowing down and was diagnosed with arthritis in his legs hips and feet. This past year he had 2 ACL surgeries and we were afraid he would never be “The Player” (his nickname) again. He was totally depressed and couldn’t play with the other dogs at the dog parks or go for even very short walks. The vet put him on Deramaxx but we saw little change over the past 4 months and I really didn’t want him on the medicine because of the side effects and liver damage warnings.”
“So we tried FlexPet. After only 3 weeks, the change is incredible. Brooklyn acts like he is a puppy again, is alert, happy and constantly bringing his ball to us for a play session. I am totally sold on this product, it has worked for Brooklyn!”
“‘The Player’ is back with a vengeance! Play on.”

We regularly receive emails from customers who have seen great results from giving their pets. So we’ve decided that we’ll start sharing them here on our blog. We received the following feedback from Kelsey S. of Minnesota and we asked her to share her dog’s story and photo.
“It is going really well … she has been playing and running around way more than she did last year. I have seen a good improvement!!!”
Jojo’s Story:
When JoJo was one she was outside playing with one of her friends and while they were play biting at each others necks the other dog ended up getting his lower jaw wrapped up in JoJo’s chain choker. Both of them starting resisting to try to get away from each other, which only made the situation worse. JoJo started to get extremely nervous because when the other dog resisted the choker was strangling her and in one of her attempts to get away she pushed too hard on one of her back legs and ended up partially tearing a ligament in her knee. She was sore for about a month, but the pain seemed to go away till she started to become older. When she turned three I started her on the vitamin Glucosamine to try to help keep her joint cartilage. Then one day when I was looking at a No Kill Animal Shelter website in I saw that they started using Flexpet on some of the older animals and they starting seeing improvement in the way that the older dogs would play and run.
JoJo has now been on Flexpet for about four months and I have seen a huge improvement in the way that she runs, plays and retains her very puppy like energy. JoJo used to favor one leg all the time and on her really bad days she wouldn’t put any weight on her bad knee. Since she has been taking Flexpet her bad days have become less and less and her puppy days have returned!!
Thank you for improving the life of my pet,
Kelsey
P.S. Don’t ever trust chain chokers; they can cause serious injuries to your pet.
