This is Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet. This is what I feed my highly allergic dog! It is made in California for Dick Van Patten. It is not a "knockoff"

I believe Patton sold it to Del Monte in 2012. It has helped my old dog who has allergies, (sweet potato is her favorite). My only reservation is carageenan, wish it wasn't in there.

It appears in all ways to be the real deal. Name is mentioned several places on the label as well as the statement that they donate part of the proceeds to help animals. Nowhere does it say anything about "like" or "good as". Hope this helps

When i browsed amazon.com for dental dog treats for my puppy, I feel like I was mislead by this product, C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Petite Dogs, because the ingredients were listed in French which was misleading because the product bag says Made in Mexico. I feel the same way about where I buy my dog foods. I want the ingredients to be made in the USA and distributed here. I do not want my dog to get sick from cheap toxic ingredients from China or the likes. I love my dog and do not want products that can cause his death or make him sick. I would like to see all products listed on Amazon.com to have the country of origin posted so consumers can easily see where it is from. I do not want to have to guess or search for a long time for this critical information. We have learned what poisonous dog food ingredients from China does to our pets here. Thank you.

It's knock off. Gave my girlfriend a rash and smells nothing like the original.Also to be clear, we got this through Amazon. Not a third party. One of Amazons suppliers is screwing them. That is what the Amazon rep said on the phone when they refunded me.

The product name is SYNOVIAL Hip & Joint Flex with MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroltin. It is distributed by Veterinaries Choice Inc in Mission Hills, CA 91345. I purchased it through Amazon and had outstanding response time and a good value in price. I would highly recommend it as it has helped my Golden Retriever greatly with his hips.

In truth...don't worry about it! I had the same "problem"...purchased both before it was all over...just get one and you'll have no problem. In truth, again, even medical doctors prescribing for humans do not know why the stuff works...but it appears to. FDA hasn't given it their "stamp of approval"...again, if it works, just use it. I say it seems to work...my "puppies" (7 & 10 yrs.) are not limping, have no problem with stairs, run without difficulty, etc. When you begin using this product, you give a larger amount for the first couple of weeks...then taper off. As with people, the amount given daily is according to weight of your dog/cat. In truth...don't worry about it!

Its not nearly as natural as it claims. My dog needed twice as much to be satisfied and the label is very miss leading. I'd stay way from this one unless you are short on cash for a higher quality food.

Amazon should list this info, but they don't always. I researched it and discovered that it is a fairly good dog food (unlike some of the name brand krappe that is advertised with accompanying images of bounding dogs, smiling humans, grass & flowers, etc.) As the other responder suggests, do an Internet search and check out the Nutro web site.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

I'm not sure why Amazon is able to provide the same product- it's not a knock-off, but the vet's price is always higher than Amazon. My 14 year old lab has been on this for over a year and she can jump up like she did in her younger days with 2 tabs per day. My daughter told me about it as she works for a vet and even though her dogs are younger, it is cold in Montana and this product keeps the 'guys' from having stiff joints in the am.

What is "wheat germ"? What is in it? How is it made. I guess the question is "where does it come from"? It is in quite a few dog recipe in smaller quantities. I wonder if it is bad for them? Do you know?

I imagine it is the same product from what I have been able to figure out . The difference probably is that you can only buy it through a veterinary office and you pay a premium price .. It means the vet examines the animal writes a prescription for the powder then turns around and sells it to you as it is prescription only in his office . It is a win win for him !! Now you know the powder works and next time you can buy it from amazon at a much lower cost to you and no need to go back to the vet if your pet has a reoccurrence of the same symptoms .

It was not a fake. I am usually pretty leery about products that are not direct from the source but this was a great product and half the price that you would pay at say PetSmart. Hope this helps!

This is an amazing product, IF you purchase from an ACTUAL distributor. What is posted on amazon isn't a guarantee that you're getting the real thing. It could be a knockoff that could be harmful. TOO RISKY in my opinion.

Not a knock-off. You do not need a 'script to get the product, but so far as I knew until I found out the medicine could be purchased from Amazon I always bought the pills from my base vet. She was out of them when I went to restock but told me to look on Amazon where the price was the same as was charged by the AUSA base vet here in VA

Hi JoAnne: Funny, but my my vet suggested buying it online as it's less expensive due to overhead costs as they can't buy in bulk. Thus, I would assume it is the same. All I can say is that I know it works. Maybe time for a new vet?

I bought this powdered vitamin for Mom's cat over 2 years ago. He is a Ragdoll and on a raw diet which I make for him and add some of this vitamin powder to the food he is eating at the time; not in the whole batch of his raw diet. He has had no ill effects & actually loves the taste. Anyway, I know we treat our pets like "family members" but I bet we, as humans, eat a lot worse. It is a good product so relax. Who cares where it comes from? Have you looked on the labels on our food?
