I had been giving my 15 year old Tabby Manx Sinclair, vet prescribed Glucosamine for about 1 1/2 years....but she still had trouble getting up and sitting down.....slow & creaky. After a fallling out with the vet on other issues, I decided to use this product in hopes that it would be a cheaper and more effective alternative.
After using it for 2 weeks, it's miraculous the improvements I have seen in Sinclair. She's hopping up the stairs at a much faster speed than she used to and she's even jumping up from the floor onto furniture....which I hadn't seen her do in a loooong time.
This is my first time to try on my 14yr old golden retriver. I have been using only for about one week; 15 drops 2x a day. So far, I can say I think it is helping him. He seems to be able to walk a little easier on his "short walks". I use this in conjunction with his senior chews and his joint supplements. At one point he was on Rimadyl, but has been off of it for almost 6 mths and only uses an occassional buffered aspirin as needed.
I read so many good reviews about this product, but have to say that after using it on my 14-year old cat for 10 days, it was really disappointing. It really seemed to make him much worse and as soon as we stopped using it, he improved.

"14-year old Westie Loves it"
My arthritic 14-year old Westie must know how much this helps him walk because he opens his mouth happily when I give him the drops. Before I tried it, he could not walk up stairs. After giving him 3-4 doses, he was able to manuver the porch steps --- if not go to the 2nd floor. Everyone in the family has noticed the difference is his ability to walk without a limp after just a few days.
My dog was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma and the vet said he won't have that many months to live. Making his life as comfortable as much as possible now is a priority. This product has helped him within a week. He is able to walk more and he seems more happy when he wakes up and he seems to have more energy, too. Thank you for this product. He is still sick but at least his life is more comfortable and is able to walk and run when he wants to. Thanks...
Homeopathic medicines are safe to mix with food, over-the-counter medicine, and prescription medicine. The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't seem to work for your pet, and that can happen whether given alone or combined with something else. Because the active ingredients are so dilute as to be undetectable in any labratory, it's essentially as harmful as spring water. It may or may not stimulate your pets natural healing abilities or anti-pain/anti-inflammatory response or it may not. If it doesn't work, no harm done.
I use many natural type products and they usually have a smell and/or taste to them that can be strong because they are natural. if your dog is one that is fussy as to what it will take in its mouth, you may wish to try something different. the amount of drops used depends on the weight of your dog. you can put the drops into the pet's mouth by lifting its cheek. we do have great products in pill and soft chew form as well for joint type issues.
