Is your dog slowing down, stiff after a nap, or less keen on walks? Join our study and help find out whether a daily joint chew makes a difference you can measure.
We're here to help β and we think science can too. Welcome to our latest study, where caring pet parents like you help us advance research on joint health.
At Treat, we run real-world research studies with pets living at home. To date, we've completed 30+ clinical studies, helping pet health companies develop better products while generating meaningful insights for pet parents.
We're running this study with Little Chonk, the New York pet brand known for its dog carriers, to test their Hip & Joint 2.0 Advanced Support soft chew in real homes with real dogs.
Hip & Joint 2.0 combines omega-3s (EPA and DHA from anchovy oil), green-lipped mussel, krill, hyaluronic acid, astaxanthin and KSM-66 ashwagandha. Several of these ingredients have published evidence in canine joint health; this study measures what the finished chew does at its labelled daily amount.
