NATURE TARGET Glucosamine Soft Chews for Dogs, 120 Soft Chews, Chicken Flavor

Glucosamine hydrochloride is the first ingredient in these soft chews, and the jar holds 120 of them in chicken flavor. NATURE TARGET makes this dog joint supplement as a moist chew with a moisture content of 7%, so each piece holds its shape in the jar. The chews are for dogs, and a portion can go straight into the bowl or be crumbled over food.

What each chew is made with

The recipe lists glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate alongside MSM. Omega-3 in the form of EPA and DHA is included, and fish oil appears in the ingredient list as well. Turmeric, green lipped mussel and hemp seed oil are part of the blend, and so are yucca and boswellia. Avocado/soybean unsaponifiables (ASU), hyaluronic acid and vitamins C and E complete the named ingredients, with 50 mg of digestive enzymes in every chew.

The full ingredient list also names manganese, zinc, calcium lactate and brewer yeast powder. Chicken and chicken liver supply the flavor, and rosemary extract, flaxseed, sunflower lecithin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), maltodextrin, casein peptide and DL-methionine are listed after them. The manufacturer states that the facility is GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant.

What the jar contains

• One jar with 120 soft chews inside
• The chews are wrapped in tin foil within the jar
• Each chew is chicken flavored
• The chews are soft rather than hard or baked

How the chews are given

The manufacturer states that a chew can be handed to the dog directly or crumbled into its food. Each piece has a moisture content of 7%, which keeps it soft enough to break apart by hand.
