Great product for dogs with arthritis even though it is made for people
I researched lots of glucosamine products to find the best ingredients and the best price and this was the product I found to be best in both categories. I bought this product for my dog (he is a lab/ husky mix) after researching many glucosamine products, comparing the dosage to that of dog products. My vet said the ingredients were &#34;perfect&#34; . When I started him on it his arthritis was so bad that he couldn't walk at all, just barely able to relieve himself and could not go up or down steps without me practically lifting him. He could not get up from a laying position without help and his legs trembled when he was standing. This is not an exaggeration. He could only stand for a minute or so. When I took him to the vet  I  thought she was going to have him put to sleep. But she put him on aspirin, a pain killer, and glucosamine. The glucosamine was my idea but the vet said the ingredients in this particular brand were canine safe. I have been giving it to my 75 pound dog for four weeks. He no longer takes the pain killer. He is now able to get up and down entire flights of steps all by himself, can swim to retrieve balls and take walks. I can't say for sure that the glucosamine is the reason since he is still on aspirin as well but I think it must be helping and I plan to keep him on it permanently. I am hopeful that I can decrease the aspirin to a minimal dose and rely on the much healthier glucosamine. I am amazed at his improvement, to me it is miraculous. I am so grateful for this product. I have been recommending not it to all of my family members with arthritis. Unfortunately people can be more stubborn than dogs, because I bet this product would make a difference in their lives! Thank you Viva Labs
