"I have a 10 year-old crazy retriever/collie mix who had issues going up the stairs (he even yelped sometimes).

I gave this a try and he does MUCH better now. It took a few weeks for it to kick in and I followed the dosage on the bottle. Now that he's improved, I only give him 1 tablet 3 days per week instead of every day. I mentioned this to the vet last time I took him in and she confirmed that you can reduce the dosage once it's taken affect for maintenance purposes.

I'm very glad this worked cuz my dog is family to me. It's definitely worth giving this a try.

"My schnauzer's are getting older and having some sore joint and muscle spasm issues. This product seems to be working really well for them. I could tell a difference after just one pill when one of my dogs was hurting so bad he would cry out when being picked up. I gave a whole pill each for a few days, but now have cut down to 1/2 pill for maintenance. So far, so good."

"My 4-1/2 year old Chihuahua has problems with his joints at the knees (they slip out of the sockets). It's quite painful for him. Before starting with this product, he would cry out in pain often when this happened. In addition to watching his weight, I started giving him 1 tablet daily. I know that Joint Rescue has helped because he is able to move so much better now without having the knee socket displaced."

"Both my dogs have no hesitation eating these with their food. They gobble them up! In only a week, we noticed a difference in the older dog. More energy and played more often! She seemed to be affected much less by the winter cold, no more limping and slow walking. I'm sure the glucosamine takes longer to work, but the anti-inflammatory herbs seemed to work right away. We're hooked."

"These worked great for my 8 year old AmStaff boy. He is still very active and is constantly running and leaping all over the place. When he does settle down to sleep, when he gets up from his bed, he would limp and hobble a bit. He loves the taste of these wafers and he has not limped since! The results are truly amazing!!"

"Our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has luxating patellas. Our rescue site suggested using this to keep her pain free.....and it works! We give her half a scored tablet daily in her food and she gets around just as well as the other dogs. Our young recently adopted PBGV mix male will only eat his dry food if a bit of the ground up tablet is added to his food....he loves the taste and smell!
And it's a MAJOR SAVINGS over the prices that any Pet Stores charge!

"I like this product because it combines Joint supplement ingredients like glucosamine with anti-inflamatory supplements and herbs like Yucca, Boswellin, Curcumin, Bromelain, etc. So, usually I would buy 2 products like DGP and Vetriscience Glycoflex, but now I buy one with Joint Rescue. Dogs seem to respond well to it; I think it's gentle on the stomach too."
