"My 12 year old Aussie was having trouble walking around and getting up off of our floors. I decided it was old age and started using these glucosamine capsule twice a day. The change it has made is significant. My boy can walk so much easier and even run around when he feels like it."
"Capsules are too big to give to a cat. I tried opening one and putting it on her food, but it was a no go. Was really hoping this was going to help my senior kitty."
