"My 11 year old staffy has been struggling with mobility for the past year or so.

Bottom Line

Consider the balance of benefits and risks before purchasing, especially if your pet has a sensitive stomach. This product has been helpful for some dogs that improved mobility, but it caused serious reactions in children and dogs that resulted in vomiting. This is a potentially a functional chew but has been involved in some serious problems with side effects.
