Does Joint Aid Work? GWF Nutrition Joint Aid review
This is a review of a product called JointAid. There are far too many dog foods, supplements and formulas available on the market - most of them don’t work as well as owner’s hope they will and time and time again I hear people telling me they buy them simply because their vet recommends them but they don’t see any major difference. They continue to buy them because they assume it must be doing something.
A friend of mine told me about JointAid manufactured by GWF Nutrition and how wonderful it was and I’ll admit I just rolled my eyes. I don’t have any affiliation with the manufacturer or their products but took some samples at a show I was at recently and gave one to a client to test and kept another to trial it for myself. to see if JointAid does actually work I’m of the opinion that you shouldn’t have an opinion about something you know nothing about. The results were really remarkable…
My client’s dog was a seven year old German Shepherd with quite debilitating arthritis. His normal exercise regime was a 20 minute walk in the mid morning and a 10 minute walk at night, each walk averaging seven or so steps. He did a lot of standing and sniffing but very little walking because of the discomfort and stiffness of his joints. The client had tried a number of different supplements, oils and prescribed foods including an expensive dry kibble formula that actually had very few active ingredients in it that assist joints, but it was suggested by her vet so she bought it. I gave her a sample of JointAid and three days later she called to tell me that her dog had walked 10 steps that day: 3 steps that were completely unheard of. Six days following this she called me in tears. I have to admit that initially I thought she was going to tell me that I’d helped kill her dog but actually she was emotionally elated that the dog had walked nearly 30 steps and nearly all of his 20 minute morning walk was spent moving, not just standing still. An improvement of 323%. The client has stopped the prescription dry kibble diet, moved onto feeding him a conventional dry kibble with JointAid mixed into the dinner and the dog has maintained the increased mobility. I asked her to stop the JointAid for a few days to test the improvement and see if the dog’s mobility would reduce again, however, she declined preferring to maintain this improved quality of life. I can’t argue with that.
I:mpressed with JointAid, I trialled another GWF product, ConditionAid, on two of my dogs and within just two days I noticed an improvement in their coats.
Having seen the results for myself, I’m hugely supportive of this all-natural product which has been carefully designed with input from scientists and, having called one of the developing scientists myself, a lot of research. If you have a dog with joint problems such as arthritis or perhaps a very active dog doing working trials, agility, fly ball etc then JointAid would be a supplement to seriously consider - the stories I’ve heard of the benefits to dogs with existing conditions and now having seen it first-hand for myself really support the use of this product. If you want an all-round supplement, I’d get yourself some ConditionAid. Personally I recommend both wholeheartedly and that doesn’t happen often. Both come in handy sachets which include a plastic measuring spoon or you can buy in larger quantities in a large plastic tub with re-sealable lid.
Manufactured by GWF Nutrition, JointAid is one of three recently launched products, sitting alongside ConditionAid and ImmuneAid. I’ve only trialled JointAid and ConditionAid so can’t comment on ImmuneAid, however, the company was very co-operative in allowing me to trial the products and permitted me to speak with the Biochemist involved in developing the products so that I could talk about the activity of the products at a cellular level. For more information and to buy direct from GWF see their website.
