American BioSciences DGP, All-Natural Joint Supplement for Dogs - Joint Support with Turmeric Boswellia Extract - 60 Chewable Pet Tablets per Bottle (60 Count (Pack of 1))

I must say that i was very weary about this product. I have a 13 year old Sharpei with severe arthritis in the front legs. Somedays she hust so bad we would need to carry her up and down the stairs several times a day because she would stand on the top step and look down but not even try to walk down.We had been giving her Previcox for over a month, but could not stop worrying about its possibly terrible side effects and I had seen that even though se was doing better, she still limped considerably at times. I decided to try this because of the reviews, but I seriously expected it would not work (if the Previcox did not work 100%, what were the odds of a bunch of herbs working), but i really had nothing to loose and the price is way cheaper than the Previcox, so I figured I might as well give it a try.I figured I would give it a try for 2 weeks and if it did not work then I would go back to Previcox or try something else.The first day I gave this an her regular dose of Previcox...I actually saw a slight improvement. Figured it was just wishful thinking....Next day I gave her DGP and 1/2 her Previcox dose, but had to leave her in the house the entire day to go to work....when i came back she walked down the stairs to meet me and her tail was raised...hopefull but not really convinced. Third day 1 DGP and 1/4 of the Previcox dose (I wanted to ween her off it slowly in case this did not work). Came back from work and she rushed down the stairs so fast that she actually fell the two last ones, but got up wagging her tail and everything.On the fourth day I gave her DGP and no Previcox and again she rushed down to meet met and fell the last 3 steps...I was seriously was happy but also a little worried. O the fifth day I did not need to go to work. I gave her the pill and stayed home. She slept for a while (she sleeps a lot given her age) and when she got up I noticed she was seriously standing much much straighter and had almost no limp. Her tail was high and wagging and she even played with my other dog for 3-5 minutes...I have been giving her DPG for 3 weeks now and I am very happy with the results.Now, I am not saying this is a miracle pill, but it definitely was worked better than Previcox, and so far I have not seen any side effects (maybe she is a little more sleepy, but I really can't be sure). I give her one GDP in the morning and one at night. Whenever she wakes up she will not limp at all for 10-15 minutes and then will get a little tired and limp a little. If she takes a nap again she will not limp for a while after waking up....She does not behave like a puppy and run around (she is 13 and there is no magic that can stop aging), but she sleeps more soundly, looks more comfortable and eats much better than before.One month ago, I really thought she would not last over 2 months. She looked like she was in a lot of pain and had lost 3 pounds because she would not eat very much (not sure if this was because of the Previcox or the pain). Today she looks like she can go on for a while longer. I don't worry anymore that when I come home from work she might be hurt, unable to walk or worse. I have seen her in much less pain, more comfortable and happier.FYI. We also Add powder Glucosamine and 1 scoop of "Platinum Performance" to her food once a day. And give her 1ml weekly injections of AdequanCanine. But we did all of this before the DGP.At the same time of starting her on DGP, we also started giving her 50ml of "Sinovial Seven". and a squirt of salmon oil in her food.She had hepatic problems about 6 years ago so whenever she is on any kind of medicine we make sure she also gets "Silimarin / Milk Thistle" in pills called "Legalon" to counter effect any side effects that can hurt her liver.

DGP is a wonderful product, cheaper and safer than any of the other pain-relievers I have given my 15 yo lab/border collie mix. She has arthritis in her spine, is deaf and has fairly clouded lens, so her vision is not what it once was. She spent most of her days sleeping, ignoring my other dogs, and only getting excited about mealtime, which she would then often refuse. She eats a mix of homemade and purchased raw food diets and super-premium kibble. She has excellent overall health, and still goes for short walks, but I thought this product was worth a try after reading a study published by Whole Dog Journal.I started her on twice the reccommended dose for the first two weeks, giving her two pills, twice a day then moved her to maintenance dose of two pills once a day. Although they are chewable tablets, I still have to put them in cheese or pill pockets to get her to eat them. Within the first 3 days, she was loping around outside with her happy dog rocking horse gait--I hadn't seen her run so much in a couple years. I just figured her reduced mobility was a function of aging. These pills have improved her quality of life and her attitude, which I can only attribute to a reduction in pain and clearly increased mobility. On the 3rd day, she was bouncing into little play bows, inviting my 1 year old border collie to play with her. She has never solicited play with that dog since we got her as a puppy. They now have at least one short play session every day. My old girl's eyes are brighter, her attitude is perky, and she actually had to develop some new routines, as she no longer just slept all day. She stays outside with me longer during the day on our farm, and she is not falling down anymore--her legs used to just slide out from under her, especially on hard floors, and she would need help to get up. Her life is not without some age-related struggles, but it is significantly better since we started using DGP.I reccommend this product to anyone with an arthritic or geriatric dog. It is affordable, safe and effective. Totally worth trying--you may just find your canine partner feels years younger. What a blessing for my very good old dog!

Our dog Lola is about 12 or 13 years, 55 Lb rescue. Recently we have noticed that she begun to have difficulty climbing the steps and is less eager to walk or run. We also noticed that she is beginning to limp a bit, but no injuries. We decided to try a supplement DGP recommended by a friend and after about 10 days, Lola’s movements returned to normal. She also has more energy and is ready and happy to take long walks again. No more problems going up and down the stairs either. She is running again. As far as the taste goes, sometimes she just takes DGP like a treat and others days we just add to her food. DGP really works and the results are obvious!

Great item. Previous deliveries were brought to my house. This one was in my mailbox. All deliveries were on Sunday. I prefer delivery to my house.

Excellent product. Reduced dog's hip pain within a few days.
