Purchased this in April upon research for the German Shepherd.
Following launching himself like a great white shark after a seal to grab his frisbee notice he became tentative to jumping and seems more cautious while walking.
Thought he might benefit from extra nutrients specific to joints.
Knowing German Shepherds sometimes have hip issues makes me very careful to pay attention to any signs he might exhibit.
To check for allergic reactions only gave one of these supplements for the last two months. Wanted to see if I could notice a change.
He is still walking tentatively with no complaints of pain. No launching for frisbees anymore. Although he’s still creatively catching.
I think that one time he’d fallen on his butt looked like it hurt. I noticed he was careful after and I’ve paid close attention to his gate. With no complaints from him am not concerned. Figure he learned a lesson about launching two feet into the air.
Since he’s taking one supplement daily have noticed a side effect that’s pretty cool. His ears are not as itchy. He occasionally had a messy ear.
He eats Wellness for Large dogs since we travel often, but he also gets other food he’s allowed that’s in small portions homemade. All organic. It’s like shopping for another person :)
Like, if I make a burger he gets one. Meat only. Organic hotdog. A few frozen blue berries or other fruit or veggies but only a few pieces.
I make meat loaf with only ingredients he’s allowed occasionally.
If I have an organic chicken he gets his fill.
He and his two cats enjoy wild caught sardines and tuna in small amounts. No salt, in water.
Organic brown white rice crackers are a hit. Dip one in peanut butter with no sugar is a win or for the sardine service is a fan favorite.
I’d thought he might have an allergy due to his ears sometimes being a problem or occasional coloring changes to his stomach skin. The vet had no concerns.
Since taking this supplement his ears seem happier. Although we still wipe them on the outer part as needed. And, I’ve seen no skin discoloration since.
I know there are other variety options from this brand. At the moment his joints are a concern. But seeing the other areas improve the vet didn’t recommend anything for makes me feel better.
For myself am a huge nutrition advocate. Feel it’s helpful to provide my floof team with picnics of healthy whole food supplements to their regular balanced diet with lots of chlorine filtered water.
The proof of this product for me is the subtile changes for the dog. My hope is it’s helping his joints, too.
He’s five now so maybe he’s just a chill walker these days. He doesn’t often bound down the stairs or up. He saunter’s like me which I really like. Digging the mellow Shepherd persona. With my friends he’s the spritely wiggle guy who’s gentle with elder folks and super versatile depending on who he’s hanging with.
My only recommendation is ensure your breed can have the ingredients, try the product, and watch for an allergic reaction. Plus positive side effects of other things clearing up unexplained.
