Hip & Joint Chews FAQs

Answers about creatine, dosing, subscriptions, shipping, and the 90-day promise.

Why is creatine in a dog joint chew?

Joints do not move alone. The muscles around the hips and legs help carry daily movement, so each chew includes 250mg creatine monohydrate for muscle support alongside 800mg glucosamine HCl for the joint-support base.

How do I dose it by weight?

Up to 10 lb: 1/2 chew daily. 11-25 lb: 1 chew daily. 26-50 lb: 1-2 chews daily. 51-75 lb: 2 chews daily. 76-100 lb: 2-3 chews daily. 100+ lb: 3 chews daily. Split doses are optional.

How long should I try it?

Every dog is different. Many owners watch the first 3-6 weeks for daily-life changes, but the 90-day promise gives the routine a fair window before judging fit.

Does this treat arthritis or hip dysplasia?

No. Gold Standard Pet supports a daily mobility routine; it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Work with your veterinarian for pain, lameness, arthritis, hip dysplasia, injuries, or medication questions.

How is this different from Cosequin or Dasuquin?

Most joint chews focus on the familiar joint base. Gold Standard Pet adds muscle, marine, and botanical support, then prints every active dose per chew with no proprietary blend.

Does it contain shellfish?

Yes. The formula contains shellfish-derived glucosamine and green-lipped mussel. Ask your veterinarian before use if your dog has allergies or a medical condition.

How does the 90-day promise work?

Use it consistently as directed. If the routine is not the right fit, email info@thegoldstandardpet.com with your order number within 90 days of delivery. Proof of purchase may be required.
