Highlighted Reviews
"Elderly dog moving easier...occasionally chases squirrels"
"Worked well at making her less stiff and sore after a couple of weeks, but it gave her the runs. Turns out, it doesn't mix well with NSAIDs and she's on aspirin. I really noticed how well it worked when we stopped using it. It's a shame. People concerned about grinding it up need to get a pill slice..."
