11 Reasons Dog Owners Are Switching To WINPRO Hip & Joint
Especially after traditional joint supplements didn't do enough...
If your dog is slowing down, you've probably already seen a dozen joint supplements promising the same thing.
We get the skepticism.
So instead of making another promise, here are 11 reasons dog owners keep choosing WINPRO, along with the research, the reviews, and the real dogs behind them.
Read the highlights if you're in a hurry. They'll tell you the whole story.
Reason #1
Most Joint Supplements Use The Same Familiar Ingredients. WINPRO Doesn't.
Glucosamine. Chondroitin. MSM.
You've probably already tried them.
There's nothing inherently wrong with those ingredients. But when researchers have looked at how well some of the most common joint-supplement ingredients actually improve pain and mobility in dogs, the evidence has been much more inconsistent than most dog owners realize. A large 2022 systematic review covering 72 trials was especially critical of glucosamine and chondroitin.
WINPRO takes a different approach. Its primary differentiator is K-Thrive Formula D, a proprietary blend powered by functional proteins from spray-dried plasma, combined with hydrolyzed collagen for structural joint support.

Our seven-year-old lab was limping...
"Our seven year-old lab started limping pretty bad and we had already had her on glucosamine for about four years. So with glucosamine works, why did she start limping? We started to do research and found this plasma supplement set a prayer ordered and after almost 6 weeks now she is perfectly fine. We noticed an improvement after just a week and then after two weeks, she seemed perfectly normal. This is something that we will keep on auto ship we never want our girl to ever have to suffer and this is answered prayer."

These are real experiences shared by WINPRO customers. Every dog is different, and individual results will vary. Customer testimonials reflect their own experiences and are not a guarantee that your dog will experience the same results.
Reason #2
Plasma Has 40+ Years Of Animal Health Research Behind It
(Including a 2026 randomized study in senior dogs with arthritis)
Spray-dried plasma isn't some new ingredient created for the pet supplement boom.
Its history in animal health goes back more than 40 years.
Some of the earliest research focused on young pigs during the stressful weaning period, including work connected to Iowa State University around the beginning of the 1990s. Researchers found that adding plasma to their diets could support things like feed intake, growth and overall performance during that difficult transition.
And that was only the beginning.
Over the decades that followed, plasma continued to be studied throughout animal nutrition, including its effects on digestive health, immune response, inflammatory processes and animal performance across multiple species.
That long history in animal science eventually led WINPRO to ask a different question:
Could these same functional proteins be useful for dogs?
WINPRO was founded in 2016 around that idea.
And now researchers are beginning to answer an even more specific question.
A randomized study published in the Journal of Animal Science:

24 senior dogs · diagnosed osteoarthritis · 42 days · randomized · licensed veterinarian blinded to diet
At day 42, the plasma-fed dogs had significantly lower veterinarian-scored lameness than controls: 3.13 vs 3.70, P=.01
Researchers also measured supporting changes in several inflammatory and joint-degradation markers.
The study evaluated spray-dried plasma incorporated into the dogs' diet. It did not test the finished WINPRO Hip & Joint chew.

Noticeable improvement
"I have been giving these to my 14 yo dog for 2 months now. After the first 30 days I found a noticeable improvement in his ability to get around and go up and down stairs. It was sufficiently evident that I got a second months supply. He is still a 14 yo dog; no miracles, but noticeable improvement versus the glucosamine supplement I used to buy at Costco."

Reason #3
Some Owners Didn't Realize How Much WINPRO Was Helping Until They Stopped
Take Kevin, a 12½-year-old rescue Springer Spaniel. Terry's wife accidentally forgot to cancel the autoship on their old joint chew. Terry didn't want to waste it. So he switched Kevin back.

Switched back to previous chew"So about 2 days into using those... he was like an old man. He didn't want to do stairs. Jumping up on chairs and even walking was like hard for him."
→
Back on WINPRO"Each day he got a little bit better being on the WINPRO and by the third day he was back to his old self again."

They work!
"We weren't sure if this was working or not until we ran out. We changed doses from 2 to 3 daily, our dog's size was on the line for doses. Doing this caused us to run out early. It took almost a week for us to get more after making the subscription change. It took just that time without the chews to see how well they were working. She started struggling again after 3 days without them, and within a day of starting again was so much better. They definitely work!"

Eliminated my senior pitties hip & joint issues
"My pittie is now in his senior silver fox era (he's 12), but with that comes hip and joint issues. My boy is struggling with his hips and has a limp from a sore shoulder. We originally ordered this product to see if it would help but his vet put him on a mild pain med around the same time. He improved and was back to his old self again, wanting to play and able to stand up without issue, but we weren't sure if it was the pain med or the plasma. I didn't immediately reorder the plasma and man am I regretting it. The pain med takes the edge off but I didn't realize how much of a difference this made. His limp has returned and he is struggling with his hips again. Needless to say I just placed another order and will not let it run our again cause I feel awful seeing how uncomfortable my baby is. Highly recommend this product, especially if you have older dogs and dogs like mine who are prone to hip and joint issues!"

SUSAN + FRANKLIN · CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
"Probably within like 6 days after getting him back on the supplements, he was bolting down the stairs and he was kind of back into his usual routine." Susan previously worked in a critical-care animal emergency clinic and says she discussed WINPRO's ingredients with veterinary specialists.
WINPRO veterinary consultant Dr. Carrie Hammer has described noticing a similar on/off difference with her own older Lab. She is affiliated with WINPRO, and we want to be transparent about that.
These aren't controlled experiments. They're customer observations. But it's a pattern we've heard repeatedly.

Her limp is GONE!!!!
"My sweet Tess developed some knee and hip issues. I have tried Wuffles, Dog is Human, Dasquin, Zesty Paws and many others. In less than 30 days on WinPro her limp is gone!! She is back to chasing sticks and romping around the yard!!! I never review products but I had to let everyone know how amazing this stuff is!"

My girl Harper is young again
"My girl Harper is an 8 year old Panda German Shepherd. I started noticing her limping several months ago and started her on Cosequin. After 3 months I did not see improvement so I decided to try Hip and Joint. After 30 days I can see improvement in her walk, and even started running a little in the backyard. Have another canister to go and will definitely order more. Thank you for giving my girl her youth back."

Non believer to believer
"I am a non believer in most supplements however this product is AMAZING! I have two old pups. One mastif that is 9 years old and was moving slower and stiffer over the last year. She is now moving faster, she has never moved very fast even as a pup. But now she has improved! My 9 year old Bassett has kyphosis , a hump in her back, and her back legs do t bend when she moves anymore. Well, she is now running outside and coming up the stairs like she did when she was 2! This product is great! Just so you know I did she results with Maggie the Bassett in one week! I know I was a sceptic also, but the product is legit!!"

Back to normal
"My 10 year old Goldendoodle has had problems slipping and falling down and difficulty standing up. After two months of giving her this product she showed signs of improvement, now after four months she's pretty much back to normal. We tried glucosamine for about a year and no improvement. I believe this product has improved her ability to enjoy life without being in pain!"
Dog's Name: Lucy · Dog's Breed: Goldendoodle · Dog's Age: 10 years
Different dogs. Different products. Same frustration.
WINPRO won't work for every dog either. But if the usual approach hasn't done enough, plasma gives you something genuinely different to try.

10yr old GSD dog now has her life back like she was a young girl again
"I have a 10 year old GSD that never walked up steps she would just jump over them, she could out run anything on 2 or 4 legs, her hips started giving her problems, she had a very hard time getting up and walking, her back legs would fold under her! it was heart breaking to watch her decline so quickly. I tried many products with very little to no help, I watched a video on FB and decided to give it a try. After 4 days I could see a change she was getting up faster and able to walk without falling, in 7 days she was running and playing again 9 days she was flying over the stairs and out running a dog we had rescued that was about 1 year old, day 11 she was playing tug-a-war with the pup, wagging her tail and back to being the active girl she had always been. Thank you for the only product that fully worked for her! she now has her life back and is once again Happy!!"

He is pulling again 😊
"He is pulling again. I know it sounds crazy to be excited about a dog pulling on a walk. But Magnus is a 10 year old husky who has arthritis in his hip. He had been limping more and more. And he definitely didn't have any drive on our walks. After 1 month of Winpro he is actually pulling on the leash. He is ready to go and no limping. I am not saying this is a cure all but it is definitely a life improvement supplement. I will definitely be ordering again. I am so grateful that I found this product and excited for sore shoulders lol."

Wow...it works!
"WINPRO,
Thank you so much for making this product. I've tried lots of different things to help my 14 year-old Border Collie move easier, so she could be more active, but nothing worked like it claimed. After just one container of your product, I could tell a difference in how much easier she was moving, with no limping. She's now almost done with her 2nd and she's keeping up with grandkids again. She's chasing the kids, playing outfielder in wiffleball and swimming. I don't know what you put in these chews but she loves them and we love the fact that she's doing so much better.
THANK YOU for helping our Tori!💜"

It's been a miracle for my girl
"My girl Zoey is a 35lb mutt who is 16 1/2 years old. Around the beginning of this year, she went downhill fast. Within a short time, she couldn't get up without assistance and had to be carried down the 3 steps to our backyard. She struggled to squat when relieving herself. She still had a good appetite and was happy, but I could tell she was in pain and I truly thought it was time. I struggled because I selfishly wanted more time with her. We just never get enough time with anyone we love. I decided to try this supplement as a "hail Mary" longshot. Within the first couple of weeks we noticed that she didn't seem to be in as much discomfort and of course you want to believe in miracles that somehow this would be the magic solution. I cannot speak for anyone else's experience with this supplement but now we are on our 3rd canister. My girl is getting up and moving without any help. She was still needing to be carried up and down the steps until the last week or so. Now she is going down the steps by herself. She is exploring her backyard like she always did and she does it with a skip in her step. We didn't think she would get the strength back in her back legs to go up the steps but over the last few days she has started to go up them again. We are amazed at the rebound. Truly amazed. I cannot say with 100% certainty that it was this supplement but 99.9% feel it was. It was the only thing we did different. The Zoey we know is back. She is happy. Her tail is up. She has a spring in her step. She is engaging in play with her much younger pack mate. I want to thank you for giving me more time with my girl. She is one of the very best dogs I have ever had the privilege of being in my life. If I could hug the makers of this product I would. So consider this a giant virtual hug to all of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish that it was a bit more affordable, but we are willing to sacrifice some other things as long as this continues to work. After all is said and done it's a small price to pay for what she gives us in return."

I have a 15-year-old...
"I have a 15-year-old Yorkie that was unable to walk, his back legs couldn't hold him up. I didn't know what I was going to do. I couldn't afford the surgery. I started doing some research and WinPro kept popping up in my searches so I decided to give it a try. Best decision!! After about 2 weeks my dog could do his favorite thing again. Walk around the yard eating bugs LOL. I have since signed up for automatic shipment."

Even Picky Dogs Actually Want To Eat Them
A joint supplement only helps if your dog actually eats it.
WINPRO Hip & Joint is made as a savory soft chew using pork liver and natural flavoring designed for easy daily feeding. And picky dogs come up in our reviews constantly.

Yummiest supplement EVER.
"We only recently started the 10 year old pups on the Hip & Joint formula... they both have age-related arthritis. It seems like they are limping less but I want to give the product more time to be definitive. What I will emphasize is that my dogs have extremely finicky taste buds, and they BOTH would sell their souls for these tasty daily "treats.""

If you don't read...
"If you don't read any review, PLEASE read this one. Sadie my lab has been my rock for over 12 years and I'd do anything to make her feel better! She has NEVER willingly taken any supplement regardless if "dogs love it." So naturally I thought this too would be another one added to the list of what not to buy. Y'all not only does she love them BUT I can also tell a HUGE difference! Of course she's not a puppy again but she's gotten her spunk back and wants to play again! She has arthritis and is showing signs of hip dysplasia but this supplement has genuinely helped her! I could tell a difference a little before 30 days of consistent use. She's gone through her 2nd bottle and everyday I come home she's bucking like a horse with excitement! I haven't seen that side of her in months...This has given me hope that I'll have her a little longer...I can't thank yall enough for such an amazing product!"

Reason #8
WINPRO Doesn't Ask You To Believe In An Overnight Miracle
Some owners say they noticed something in the first week. Others say two weeks. Others closer to a month. Some take longer. A few never see it.
FIRST WEEK
Some owners report early changes. Don't count on it. (Example: Deena's Charlie Mae — "noticeable after a week.")
WEEKS 2–4
Many owners report noticing clearer changes in the 2 to 4 week range. Ashley's Sadie: "a little before 30 days." Chris's Harper: around 30 days.
WEEK 6
The controlled senior-dog study showed a statistically significant lameness difference at Day 42. It did not show a significant lameness difference at Day 21.
MONTH 2+
Some owners report taking longer. Aaron: two months. Scott's Lucy: improvement after two months and continued change by four months.

My Frankie likes these,...
"My Frankie likes these, he actually eats them! He will be on his 10th trip around the sun end of July, a golden doodle..he needed a joint supplement so we are giving these a try, the plasma chews are supposed to help with inflammation in body so hoping they help his seasonal allergies as well, on 2nd jar, 3 chews a day, jury is still out as to if they are making a significant difference but will continue as " good things take time""

WinPro Pet cares about its customers!
"What a fabulous company who cares about its customers! I ordered this for our boy Teddy. Unfortunately, he didn't tolerate it after just a couple of days and developed harsh diarrhea, which I don't blame the product for but Teddy's geriatric and sensitive gut. After we stopped the product and with the help of medication the diarrhea went away. WinPro Pet did not hesitate to issue us a refund and repeatedly ask about Teddy's state of health via emails. I have NEVER seen such a quick and thorough response. What amazing customer service. I know that I will try their products again but it might have to wait for now. Thank you for being such an incredibly customer-oriented business. A happy tail wag from Teddy."

WINPRO's Plasma Is Carefully Sourced And Processed Before It Ever Reaches Your Dog
We understand why the word "plasma" can sound strange at first. Here's the simple version.
The plasma used in WINPRO comes from healthy pigs processed through inspected food-production facilities. The blood already exists as part of the food-production process. Instead of allowing those valuable proteins to go to waste, they're recovered and turned into a functional ingredient used in animal nutrition.
The plasma then goes through multiple processing and safety steps, including separation, spray drying, controlled handling and microbiological controls before it becomes part of WINPRO.
A useful second life for valuable animal proteins already present in the food system.

Reason #11
WINPRO Had To Earn Its Quality Seal
A slick label doesn’t tell you what’s actually in the jar.
Anybody can make a supplement look legitimate.
A nice jar.
A clean website.
A long ingredient list.
A few impressive claims.
But none of that tells you what actually happened before that product reached your dog.
It doesn’t tell you whether the company has documented quality procedures.
It doesn’t tell you whether products are independently tested to help verify label claims.
And it doesn’t tell you whether there’s a real system in place for tracking complaints or adverse reactions after the product is sold.
That’s why the NASC Quality Seal matters.
WINPRO had to earn permission to display it by passing an independent quality audit and continuing to meet NASC’s ongoing quality requirements.
So before you give any supplement to your dog every single day, look for the NASC Quality Seal.
Not every company has earned one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I give WINPRO with my dog's current supplements?
[FINAL FAQ COPY]
Does WINPRO contain pork?
Yes. If your dog can't have pork, this isn't the product for your dog... and we'd rather tell you now.
How long should I give it before deciding?
Every dog is different. Some owners report noticing changes within the first few weeks, while others take longer. In the controlled senior-dog plasma study, the significant difference in lameness appeared at Day 42, not Day 21. So unless your dog doesn’t tolerate the product, give it consistent time before deciding whether it’s helping.
What if my dog won't eat it?
Covered by the guarantee.
What if it doesn’t work?

One Last Thing
Your Dog Isn’t Getting Any Younger
If you’ve made it this far, there’s probably a reason.
Maybe your dog is getting slower on the stairs.
Maybe getting up isn’t as easy as it used to be.
Or maybe you’ve already tried one joint supplement after another and you’re still looking for something that makes a noticeable difference.
There’s nothing wrong with being skeptical. You should be.
But if what you’re giving your dog right now doesn’t seem to be doing enough, eventually you have a choice:
Keep doing the same thing...
Or try something genuinely different.
WINPRO won’t be right for every dog. We’ve been upfront about that throughout this page.
But you’ve seen the research. You’ve read the reviews. You’ve heard directly from dog owners who were skeptical too.
At some point, the only way to know what WINPRO can do for your dog is to let your dog try it.
