4 | my pet magazine tried+teed "I use this product on my 8 year old Maltese x Shih Tzu Ollie. He has loose patellas and when he walks his joints click. I have been giving Ollie the Osteo Chews for over a year now and when we first started I noticed a difference in a week. He wasn't limping or slow. He started playing with our 2 year old Maltese Lillie and running around. His joints only click when he climbs stairs now.
