Practical tests have shown that the Joint Active Snacks are of exceptional quality and were enthusiastically accepted by dogs. We offered these high-dose snacks to dogs instead of joint tablets.
The snacks are designed to promote bone and joint health. Ingredients such as green-lipped mussel, glucosamine, MSM, chondroitin and collagen contribute to the dog’s mobility and joint health. The snacks are ideal for preventing joint problems. Thanks to the high concentration of nine active ingredients, a single pack of 180 joint tablets lasts for up to six months. The joint tablets are of high quality and suitable for all breeds, large and small. The quality increases the attractiveness of the product.
The snacks are a natural solution for the relief of osteoarthritis. The product is suitable as a natural substitute for anti-inflammatories, painkillers for dogs or dog vitamins for joints. Paawy ‘s health products for dogs are developed with an international team of experts and veterinarians. The salmon flavored snacks have been enjoyed by all dogs. Glucosamine is a lubricant for the joints.
Chondroitin is the cushioning that every joint loves. Collagen not only serves the skin, but also the strength and structure of other tissues. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is the sulfur-rich support for supple joints. Green-lipped mussel is a gift from the sea for optimum joint health. The quality meets the requirements of the European standard. The quality and tolerability of these Joint Active Snacks make them a recommended option for dog lovers.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioVery good performance in the mid-price segment80 points
Rating cut4.9 out of 5.0 on Amazon95 points

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.9 stars. One common complaint is that some dogs were skeptical about the treats. Many customers like the fact that the treats are healthy and taste good to dogs. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the treats were unfamiliar to some dogs and were tasty after a short period of familiarization.

Prices of up to €29 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €16 . Paawy ‘s Gelenk Aktiv Snacks are therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €24.99. The price-performanceratio isreasonable for the quality and performance received.
