My older border collie was so confused she was getting lost (and scared) in the hall of our home. I am not exagerating. She would be so confused and scared a lot of places. Since taking the Cholodin, she is so great. Even though she can't hear, when she sees you motion to her she comes running from across the yard. She even has enough going on that she continues to correct my other younger males. She has always been the queen of everything and she is once again. . .
Our 14 year old Lhasa Apso had to have extensive surgery 2 mos ago. He had a little dementia before the surgery, but was totally miserable following it. He was falling off his favorite chair, had leg tremors, couldn't figure out how to get around furniture or how to lie down, and was always very cold. The expression on his face was confused and dazed. We had kind of given up hope, and decided that this was how it was going to be for him-until we found this product!. 1 1/2 weeks later, he is jumping and playing better than before the surgery. He is no longer cold, and although one leg still shakes a little, it is not nearly as severe. He recognizes and greets family members again too! Can't wait to see what he will be like a month from now. He weighs 16 pounds, so we only give him 1/4 pill per day. (He has a very sensitive stomach, but so far, no problems with digestion or hyperactivity as some other people reported.) He HATES the taste of it, so we mash it in his food. You must try this supplement for your elderly dog!
My 13 year old dog was showing signs of "doggie dementia" (Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome). He was getting lost in our house, frequently stared into space and was up all night with anxiety-based insomnia. When he went outside to go potty, he would just stand there with a dazed look on his face, seemingly forgetting where he was or why he was there. He's been on Cholodin for a week now and what a difference! Almost all of the symptoms have disappeared except for a rare dazed look which clears up within a minute or two. He's also walking better (he has severe arthritis) and is overall more energetic. He hasn't had any side effects at all. We have our dog back!!!!
On the recommendation of a friend I gave this to my 12 year old German shepherd female. She is in exceptionally good shape for her age but is slowing down and seemed a bit dull/distracted. Right away she was perkier and more active and started *flirting* with my 6 year old male! The only down side is I believe it gives off an odor which is stimulating to the other dogs as my 9 year old female now is more likely to behave aggressively toward her after smelling her. So, I halved the dosage and it seems fine.
I have had dogs all my life in for the last 60 years. I started learning how to communicate (not dominate) with them and for over 40 years trained and competed with them at obedience trials in the NE. My dogs and I loved the competition, travels and meeting new friends. A few years ago after my dog Shep went to meet his maker. I was fortunate to wind up adopting a 5 year old alpha female Aussie (red merle) named Bella. Bella was urinary incontinent and would actually try to cover up her "accidents". It broke my heart to see this most noble and intelligent creation of G-d struggle, as not to upset me. The years passed by all too quickly and currently she is 12 yrs.old. When I noticed that she was dribbling urine as she walked around our apartment, I decided to see if "anything" without a prescription could help, even a little. I went online, inquired about Cholodin and decided to give Cholodin a try. Well here are the results, "NO MORE URINARY INCONTINENCE"! Important to read about the possible side effects. As per Pet Meds guidelines and recommendations, I did have to stop; then reintroduce the drug four days later. Also it did produce the stated side effects such as an increased amount of protectiveness as well as a lower threshold for aggressive reaction towards perceived threats. Another side effect when I increased her dosage, was a 20 minute period of confusion and forgetfulness. In conclusion, as your best friend ages (as we all do) and becomes incontinent, do not let your dog needlessly suffer, try cholodin and may you and your best friend have many days of happiness, fun ands good health.
I have a 14 yr old sheltie. Shes about 25 lbs. She is currently taking: Adequan (7mg injection every 2 months) Deramaxx (25mg daily) Cosequin (1 chewable daily) However she has all the age related problems listed under "What is Cholodin ?". I'm hoping she will benefit from Cholodin, but I don't know if adding it is too much. If so, can I replace Cosequin with Cholodin or do you think the two is better? And do you think Cholodin can replace Deramaxx? I'd rather her not be on Deramaxx if possible. Thanks for your help.
For senior pets, Cholodin is an excellent product. Unfortunately, Cholodin is not a substitute for Cosequin, nor is is it a substitute for Deramaxx. However, using Cosequin can sometimes allow for a lower dose of Deramaxx, depending on how severe the pet's symptoms are.
