Our veterinarians advise to consider these factors when choosing joint supplements for dogs:
In each stage of a dog's life you need to provide certain nutritional elements to support the biological functions of its body because just like for humans, sometimes the food alone is not enough.
When looking for joint supplements for puppies, you need to provide natural calcium and sodium fluoride to support the development of bone and joint structure. By providing good nutritional support for joints and bones when your dog is growing up, you increase the chances that your furry friend will have less problems and feel better in senior days. With the correct feed supplement you will also help the development of ear cartilage and help thus helping them to be upright faster.
During adult years it is recommended to provide the dog with joint and bone health supporting supplements that contain glucosamine, marine chondroitin and MSM. It will help to maintain the body in better health on a daily basis and also provide a good foundation for joint health when the dog will be older. If your dog feels well, it will keep it active and lower the chances and expenses for medical treatments down the road.
For senior dogs – you need to pay special attention to joint lubrication, as with age the body stops producing the necessary amount of glucosamine. Glucosamine promotes the synthesis of hyaluronic acid that is the main lubricant of joints. With not enough lubrication, the joint cartilage wears down by rubbing against each other. Therefore creating joint pain and restrictions in movement.
The most common ingredients in joint supplements you will find is glucosamine, hyaluronic acid and some form of chondroitin. However, what most people don’t know is that for glucosamine and chondroitin to be effective it needs the support of MSM, a natural source of sulfur. MSM acts as a carrier substance and helps the ingredients to be absorbed into the cells and do more efficient work. Without MSM the elements in the supplements are barely absorbed by the body, therefore not giving the expected joint health results.
If your dog is already suffering from joint pain, look for a joint supplement that contains Boswellia extract. Boswellia extract is a natural pain relief remedy with anti-inflammation properties.
Every dog should have at least 30 min of physical activities twice per day to stay healthy. However, if your dog is participating in increased physical activities on a daily basis , you should look for joint supplements that support joint and ligament health. They will compensate for the additionally consumed nutritional elements and support the body with required supplements.
If your dog is participating in races, it causes additional stress which also consumes more nutrients than on a daily basis and also increases the wear and stress on joints, bones and muscles. In these cases you would need to look for joint supplement with stronger doses and more ingredients that support the increased stress on the body
At GIGI VET we have created five dog joint and bone supplement products. When developing them, our veterinarians tried to cater the joint supplement formula to individual needs. They took into consideration the dog's age, breed, amount of physical activities and convenience for the owner to give his dog the supplement.
All our Joints & Bones products contain Glucosamine, MSM, Boswellia extract, Marine Chondroitin and Vitamin Ester C. Whichever product you choose for your dog, it will support overall joint and bone health. If your dog has a more serious case of joint pain or inflammation, our dog joint supplements will naturally help to relieve that too.
For a more special care and higher health demand, our specialists created a special joint supplement for senior dogs with additional Hyaluronic acid to help with joint lubrication.
But for dogs with high intensity physical activities – Max Strong Joints & Bones with Hyaluronic acid and Collagen for the support of ligament health.
You will find our dog joint products in the form of tablets and powder. Our experience throughout 15 years shows that at least 9 out of 10 dog owners will confirm - their dogs loved the taste of the supplements. This made it easier to support their dog’s joint health on a daily basis.
]]>First of all let us remind you - it is a source of natural sulfur. Don’t let the chemical name scare you.
In natural ways you can get it from sea water. Some say it is even found in morning dew.
If a body lacks MSM (organic sulfur), it just won't “hold together”. No connective tissue, no ligaments, cartilage, skin or muscle strength.
This fantastic compound is responsible for and required for other substances to be effective. It helps to open the cell membrane and bring in all in.
As an example - without MSM such substances as glucosamine and marine chondroitin won't have any effect. Therefore if you are looking for joint supplements, make sure it includes MSM or you give it to your pet separately.
Since it has the properties to open cell membranes, it also has the ability to clean the cells of toxins. Once the toxins are out of the cell, the body gets rid of them in “natural ways”.
It has amazing capabilities to find inflammation and sick parts of the body and do focused healing work there.
At GIGI VET we have wide range of products for cats, dogs and horses. Our natural supplements help with wide array of issues. We have multiple products:
If you have any other questions be sure to message us!
]]>Sometimes you can instantly notice the pain, while other times the discomfort is silently hiding as a hereditary or chronic issue. It may be arthrosis or dysplasia, perhaps a recent trauma. Nevertheless, your pet feels bad.
Here are the most common behaviours your dog may exhibit if it is experiencing joint pain:
This is the most obviously noticeable behaviour. If your pet isn't using only one of its limbs, it most definitely feels pain. The first thing you should do is immobilize your pet and reduce the load from the affected limb. Contact your veterinarian immediately to evaluate the situation. The pain can be caused by any number of things, including trauma, increased inflammation or chronic illness.
If your dog used to be active during daily activities but is now suddenly moving slower, it might be due to joint pain. By reducing its speed of movement, your pet is trying to cope with the discomfort.
Getting up or laying down involves multiple joints. If there is pain and inflammation in those joints, it will take more time for your dog to change positions.
Walking up / down stairs and jumping on / off beloved places puts an extra load and pressure on your dog’s joints. What was once an easy task becomes more challenging with joint problems.
You’d have to observe your pet for a longer time to notice significant changes in sleep habits. However, sleeping longer in the mornings and being reluctant to get out of bed can be a sign that your dog is trying to rest and heal.
As a pet owner, you may notice your furry friend doesn’t want to take its usual walks. Or perhaps it is taking longer than usual to go the same distance.
Joint and body stiffness in the short term can be caused by lack of movement. However, in the long term, a lack of nutritional substances can cause more serious joint damage and stiffness. Check out this natural dog supplement for joint health.
To ease discomfort, dogs tend to lick the specific area that is bothering them. You may notice excessive grooming or even a change of fur colour around the painful joint.
If your dog is having difficulties moving, it will be more challenging for it to go to its bowl to eat and drink. It is also possible that chronic joint pain is making your dog depressed, antisocial or even aggressive, thus lowering its appetite. These are symptoms of your dog’s discomfort.
Whining, groaning, or grunting when changing positions can indicate discomfort. It can be acute or chronic pain that should be tended to by a veterinarian.
If you notice one or more of these signs in your dog, make sure to contact your veterinarian to discuss potential diagnosis and available natural treatment options.
For short- and long-term joint treatment, our veterinarians recommend the natural dog supplement Strong Joints & Bones. It contains glucosamine (necessary for the recovery of joint surfaces), MSM (the main building block of connective tissue) and Boswellia extract with natural anti-inflammatory and painkilling properties.
In each stage of life, your pet requires special care. In senior years, it is especially important to increase nutritional support for joint health. As with age, the joint surfaces wear out and the natural liquid isn't regenerating. Result - joint pain that causes body stiffness, difficulties walking and jumping. 90% of senior dogs experience joint pain.
This is a story about a cheerful pug Ozzy who is in his senior years. Unfortunately, time has not spared his biological processes. At senior age Ozzy is experiencing joint and hip pain making it difficult to walk and get on the couch next to his owner Derrick.

This is a story about a cheerful pug Ozzy who is in his senior years. Unfortunately, time has not spared his biological processes. At senior age Ozzy is experiencing joint and hip pain making it difficult to walk and get on the couch next to his owner Derrick.
Looking for a solution to ease Ozzy's daily life, they agreed to participate in GIGI VET's Health Month challenge and try Strong Joints & Bones dog supplements.
How did you decide to participate in GIGI VET's Health Month?
Ozzy is 10.5 years old. He’s a puppy at heart, but biologically he’s a senior. I noticed he isn’t as spry when he goes up and down the stairs in our home. Also, he has difficulty jumping up on the bed and the couch which he’d had no issues with before. Since I myself take joint supplements for occasional knee pain, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to try some joint supplements for dogs.
What expectations did you have before starting to use Strong joints & Bones god supplements?
I expected Ozzy to have a little more spring in his step when he walked and perhaps more ease of walking up and down the stairs.
How soon did you notice the first results? What were they?
The first results I noticed after maybe 9-10 days. He was definitely more peppy when walking up and down stairs in the house. However, I didn’t see significant change in his jumping onto bed or the couch. These require more strength and work of the hind legs, however, and lately I’ve noticed his hind legs lose traction when he walks around the house or he jumps off the couch, so there might be a bigger problem which a vet will need to check. He could have a problem with his hips which makes jumping onto the couch a challenge.
What were the results after 4 weeks?Results were slightly better than after the first two weeks, though still limited because of what is possibly a deeper problem with his hind legs. I’ll need to take him for an exam to the vet to see what’s going on there.
Did Ozzy's health improve as you were hoping for?
Ozzy’s health improved, though I think Ozzy’s joint issues can’t be fixed with just supplements. We’ll have to work with a vet to see what the underlying issues are and how to fix them. This experiment definitely made me pay more attention to how he walks, sits, and jumps.
At least for now we have eased the pain and made his daily life more comfortable.I think he would have felt better today if we had already used dog joint supplements when he was younger.
Did you notice any side effects while using the supplements?
There were no side effects, at least no negative ones.
Why did you like the product?
As any dog owner will tell you, it’s sometimes a pain to get your dog to take medications and vitamins. I can tell by the off-putting smell of some of the pills and tabs Ozzy takes for ticks, worms or other maladies that they probably don’t taste too good, not even to dogs who will eat practically anything.
What I LOVE about GiGI Vet’s Joint Supplements is that Ozzy finds them yummy. Even though they are quite big and I have to give him two of them daily, he chews them up without extra persuasion and definitely without me having to hide them in other food.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate the product a 10.
What was your method when giving the tablets to Ozzy? Any advice for other dog owners?
With Strong Joints & Bones tablets we had no problems. He took them as tasty treats.
In the past we've had worse experiences with other tablets. Ozzy will either not eat bad tasting meds or will take them into his mouth and spit them out. Sometimes I think he’s swallowed them, only to later find them under the kitchen table or next to his bed.
Then I have to up my game, hiding the pills in foods Ozzy loves and wolfs down eagerly, like sausage or bananas.
If the tablets are big (as are the ones for worms), I have to break them into 6-8 pieces and sneak them into as many pieces of the banana or sausage. When you have an older dog, the number of medications you have to sneak by them increases, sometimes making for an exhausting ritual of hide-the-tablet.
Who would you recommend Strong Joints & Bones dog supplements to?
I would definitely recommend them to owners of senior dogs, but please keep in mind that there might be issues that supplements alone won’t fix.
Would you continue to give these supplements to Ozzy after the 30-day tryout?
Yes, I would.

]]>Every pet has individual health conditions, just as humans do. When getting a new furry friend, you can never know what sensitivities or genetic peculiarities may develop with age. However, you can observe your pet carefully. If you notice any of these signs, your pet might be in need of additional nutritional support. Functional feed can become crucial in supporting your pet's health and wellbeing.
Visible changes in movement can be a sign of joint or ligament pain due to lack of lubrication, inflammation or even osteoporosis, arthritis. Your pet needs additional nutritional support to maintain joint and bone health.
Healthy skin and coat is a sign of good health. When your pet has signs of skin or coat problems, you need to check for allergies, parasites or skin trauma. To relieve the symptoms, skin moisturizing and coat nourishment is recommended.
Multiple external conditions can cause stress for your pet. It can be expressed by loud noises, scratching, chewing or even aggressive behaviour. To calm the central nervous system and avoid your pet hurting itself, natural remedies can be helpful.
If you notice imperfection in the development process of your puppy or kitten (ear cartilage growth, teeth replacement, bone structure and immunity development), your pet might need nutritional support. Providing nutritional support early on will play a major role in their wellbeing for the rest of their lives
Heart, stomach and urinary tract can have symptoms of impaired function at any age. Especially at senior years additional nutritional support can relieve symptoms and even prolong the wellbeing of your pet.
Feel free to contact us if in need of consultation to find a suitable product for your pet: hello@gigivet.com
]]>Have you noticed that the number of people practicing an active lifestyle with dogs is growing? Regular physical activity is a precondition for good canine health. However, the heavier a dog’s physical load is, the wiser its owner must be to ensure the proper nutrition for maintaining good energy levels and heart health.
Meet Dane, a 1.6 year-old female Eastern European Shepherd. Together with her owner Madara, they go on morning bike rides, participate in canicross races and take private bitework lessons. Madara decided to participate in GIGI VET’s Health Month for two reasons: (1) to speed up Dane’s post-activity recovery process and increase energy levels for better performance in races, and (2) to relieve Dane’s dry skin condition and dandruff.
What is your experience in supporting Dane’s nutrition?
Dane eats only fresh food daily. I plan her diet very consciously – fresh meat, eggs, natural calcium from egg shells, and sometimes some fruits.
Why did you decide to try GIGI VET’s dog supplements?
After solving some skin problems, Dane ended up with itchy dry skin and dandruff. We tried to improve the condition with fish oil, but it didn’t bring the expected results. So, we were hoping to find a natural remedy that would be more effective. In this case, the Healthy Skin & Coat dog supplement was something we were eager to try out.
Also, we lead a very active lifestyle. I was eager to find additional nutritional support for her body that could help in the recovery process. The better she recovers, the more efficiently we can continue with our activities. That is why FitPet dog supplements caught my attention.
What were the results once Dane started to take Healthy Skin & Coat and FitPet?
I was really hoping to relieve Dane’s scratching and help her improve her physical wellbeing and performance. I’m happy to say, we saw results in two weeks!
The scratching decreased after a week of using Healthy Skin & Coat. In two weeks, her coat was softer and shinier. With each week, dandruff became less noticeable, but I think we’d need more than 30 days to get rid of it completely.
As for FitPet, after one week of taking it, she would still pant after a 5km run and would want to lay down. But after two weeks and the same kind of a run, Dane was ready to play and do some activities instantly! Within four weeks, we’ve reached better recovery levels and improved physical endurance overall.
Did you notice any side effects during these 30 days?
No, nothing changed apart from the improvements we were hoping for.
What did you like or dislike about these dog supplements?
Dane loved the skin supplements! They were so tasty to her that she would run over every time I called, “Dane, time for the vitamins!”
It was a different story with FitPet which comes in capsules. I had to make sure she swallowed them every time. Otherwise, Dane would just chew and spit out the capsule without getting the nutrition. I would prefer if the product would be in tablet form. Nevertheless, we managed and the results are there.
Do you have any advice on giving the supplements to your dog?
If the tablet has a nice taste, the dog will most likely eat it as a treat. Dane took her supplements in the morning. If your dog doesn’t like the tablet, you can crush it up and mix it with food or hide it in a treat. Otherwise, placing it in the dog’s throat will prbably be the most efficient way to ensure they swallow it.
On a scale from 1 to 10, how would you rate these supplements?
I give FitPet a 9. The results were truly beyond my expectations!
Healthy Skin & Coat would be an 8. It’s a good product with efficient relief of itching, but we still need to work on dandruff.
Would you consider continuing use of these dog supplements?
Yes, I will use the Healthy Skin & Coat dog supplements for at least another month to see if all the skin conditions are resolved.
We’ll use FitPet during the active racing season until winter. Then perhaps we’ll take a month off to see if her recovery time and physical wellbeing change.
For whom would you recommend Healthy Skin & Coat and FitPet supplements?
I’d most definitely recommend trying Healthy Skin & Coat if your pet has skin and coat problems.
If your dog has an active lifestyle, FitPet can give good prophylactic nutritional support. I think it was a cool thing. Why not help your dog feel better?

We thank Madara for trusting GIGI VET and trying out Healthy Skin & Coat and FitPet dog supplements to improve Dane’s skin health and physical wellbeing. It was a pleasure to hear about the visually noticeable coat improvements and how both of them are working towards more impressive energy levels!

Please note that GIGI VET FitPet dog supplements DO NOT guarantee unlimited energy levels for your dog in 30 days. They support overall heart health and can improve physical abilities. We recommend these supplements for dogs participating in races and hunting.

Instead, you’re met with reluctance and a dismissive look that says, “There’s no way I’m going outside!”
You noticed his discomfort perhaps a limp the first time it showed itself. But you thought it would go away on its own.
However, it’s become a regular occurrence. Not only during walks, but also when he gets up and lies down.
It is a torture for him to walk up and down the stairs or jump into a car or onto a couch.
Your pet’s pain can be so great in his hips and joints that it can’t even get up to relieve itself!
There can be a number of reasons for your dog’s clearly visible joint pain.
The most obvious cause of joint and ligament pain can be a trauma or recovery after a surgery.
If this is the case, make sure your dog gets enough rest.
Reduce inflammation and try to improve its wellbeing with pain-killing remedies.
However, be wary of medicine that’s artificial, as it can cause serious kidney problems.
You can be putting your dog through so much pain because of something you've not noticed before. Like osteoporosis, arthritis, dysplasia or strangely developed bone structure from a young age.
You can identify these problems by spotting symptoms like limping, joint stiffness and swollen joints.
Joint and bone diseases are sometimes present from birth and part of your pet’s DNA. There’s nothing you can do to prevent it.
Just make sure to take extra care of your puppy’s joint health early on.
However, most of the time, joint problems are caused by a lack of nutrition throughout the dog’s life, and they develop with age.
The body simply can’t produce enough of the essential substances that keep the joints and bones strong and healthy.
You can’t reverse time and start giving your dog joint health supplements from early on. But you can start doing it today with the right prophylactic care.
Start lubricating joints and recovering their surfaces by administering glucosamine, marine chondrotine and collagen. Also, make sure to Include organic sulfur (MSM) which is the main building block of connective tissue.
You will significantly increase your dog’s overall wellbeing by reducing joint stiffness, inflammation and pain with natural substances such as Boswellia Extract.
If using these substances individually seems too complicated, you can try utilizing specific dog joint and bone care supplements.
For short- and long-term joint treatment, our veterinarians have developed these natural dog supplements [link to joins] to strengthen and recover hip and joint functions, help with degenerative and rheumatic diseases, and improve the overall wellbeing of your dog.

Did you know that digestive issues are the most prevalent health problems in dogs and cats? These include vomiting, diarrhea, simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea, anorexia, and constipation.
]]>These include vomiting, diarrhea, simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea, anorexia, and constipation.
The most common of the above digestive problems are vomiting and diarrhea. You will surely deal with one or both of them more than once in your furry friend's life.
When they occur once in a while, vomiting and diarrhea can be a healthy, natural way for your pet’s body to clean its digestive system. However, if they occur more frequently or there’s blood and slime present in the vomit or stool, it is an indication of a serious health problem and requires an immediate visit to a veterinarian.
Just like in humans, there can be multiple reasons for your pet’s upset stomach and diarrhea.
Eating something indigestible, like a foreign object, houseplant or human foodCats and dogs are naturally curious. They often explore the world with their mouths, which can become a problem if they eat something indigestible, poisonous or something that tastes good but is dangerous for their bodies.
Houseplants such as aloe vera, jade plants and others are toxic to cats and dogs if they ingest them. Also, certain human foods such as grapes, raisins, garlic, chocolate, macadamia nuts, and fruit pits and seeds can be very poisonous to your pet.
A change of feed or introduction of a new medicine can cause irritation in the digestive tract, causing diarrhea. Switching from puppy to adult products, trying out a new ingredient or administering antibiotics for a health problem can all give your dog diarrhea for days at a time.
These are medical conditions that aren’t easily spotted but can be life-threatening to your beloved pet. Infection and inflammation can be identified with careful medical examination, but bloody diarrhea is a definite sign that the condition is serious and a vet should be consulted immediately. As for parasites and worms, common signs of their presence are bloody diarrhea, weight loss, and visible undigested strings or rice-like objects in the stool.
Some pets are more sensitive to stressful surroundings which can make their stomachs anxious, resulting in diarrhea. Your cat or dog might have a messy situation in its travel box or in a corner or middle of the room when guests or loud noises are present. In situations like this, you can ease your pet’s nervousness with natural calming cat and dog supplements to make both of your lives less stressful.
In a healthy digestive system, the organs provide full digestive functions, absorb nutrients necessary for the body, neutralize toxins, and eliminate wastes and harmful products from the body. However, if your pet’s organism is lacking nutrients, its organs and digestive system simply can’t function properly, resulting in diarrhea.
Whatever the reasons behind your cat or dog’s diarrhea, the first things to do are remove its access to garbage or spoiled food, provide clean water and encourage them to drink it, and apply remedies with natural ingredients. One of the most efficient natural solutions is medical clay, which can be hard to find in most pet supplements. However, our specialists have created such a remedy that is safe for dogs to use, even after they’ve just given birth.
It is safe to give your pet supplements from 12 weeks onwards. If you have any questions about cat and dog vitamins, feel free to contact us at hello@gigivet.com!

The majority of dog owners don’t realize that some puppy bone and joint supplements contain calcium carbonate. It is artificial, easy to overdose on, and can form dangerous layers on the bones and joints that could later break off and create serious problems in the joints that could require surgery.
Make sure you are providing your pup with such natural-source substances as calcium, phosphorus, glucosamine, and other minerals that will promote joint, bone, and ear cartilage growth, and support teeth replacement. These minerals can be found in the natural fishbone powder Phoscalim®, which is safe to use.

If the proper environment and nutrition are not provided, your puppy can grow up with a deformed skeleton and undeveloped bones and joint structure, afflicting it with a lifetime of frailty and low energy.
These conditions can result in lameness, restricted movement and burning pain throughout its life. There are certain remedies and painkillers that can help soothe these issues, but they can come with the added problem of kidney malfunction.
It can be challenging to monitor your puppy’s development, as you will only see that something’s not right when serious pain or illness kicks in. By that time, you will have paid the price with your puppy’s health, time lost for recovery from injury or sickness as well as your emotional endurance, not to mention money.
Let’s say you have ensured the right environment and nutrition by giving your young pet healthy food and puppy supplements. How can you be sure the nutritional value of the food is enough for your puppy’s health? Are you certain the puppy vitamins are safe and aren’t actually hurting your puppy?

GIGI VET was founded by a veterinarian and has more than 15 years of experience in helping thousands of dogs all around the world.
We can start by asking you the same question – why do you take vitamins and supplements? The answer is – you want to treat a problem, be healthy and happy, and feel better in the long term. The same applies to your cat or dog.
Most often cat and dog supplements can be used for:
High-quality cat and dog supplements should include natural hard-to-come-by ingredients that can be added to your cat’s or dog’s diet, thereby improving their overall health and wellbeing.
There are three main reasons why our pets need supplements:
The harsh truth is that humans are to blame for a significant amount of cat and dog health problems.
We can divide them into three subsections – poor nutrition, incompatible environment, and genetic interference in breed selection.
Poor nutrition
Low-quality artificial food gives your pet little to no nutritional benefit and barely stimulates its digestive functions. Your pet doesn’t get any of the vitamins or minerals that all living organisms need for healthy heart, skin, hair and joint function. With time, a poor diet will take its toll on your pet’s body with significant signs of malfunction or disease.
Incompatible environment
It is essential to evaluate if the living environment you’re providing for your pet is suitable for its breed. An incompatible environment can harm its body and result in health problems.
For example, such dogs as German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Labrador, Golden Retriever, Dalmatian or other big and active dog breeds are not meant to be living in a small apartment, where they will develop joint and hip problems due to lack of movement. If such problems appear, your dog needs suitable supplements to support joint functions and lessen back and joint pain.
Incompatible environment might also lead to your pet being stressed and hyperactive. In situations like that many experts suggest to use dog nutritional supplements together with a pet calming supplement. To learn more about cat and dog calming supplements you can click here.
Genetic interference in breed selection
Trends in new breed selections have been brutally detrimental to our pets' overall health. Irresponsible mixing of breeds can stimulate the development of weak immune systems as well as heart and joint problems in specific breeds. If your pet is of a breed known for its fragile health, we highly recommend adding nutritional dog supplements to its diet to strengthen its overall health.
After surgery or trauma, your pet’s organism needs extra nutritional support to recover faster.
For example, after joint injury or surgery, give your pet supplements that help restore joint functions and lubrication, alleviate pain, and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Remember, it is important to give your pet supplements with high-quality ingredients, particularly when it comes to painkillers. Chemical supplements and medicines can cause kidney problems.
When growing up, a puppy or kitten needs additional supplements to develop a strong, healthy body, maintain strong joints and bones, and support ear cartilage growth and teeth replacement. Providing nutritional support early on will play a major role in their wellbeing for the rest of their lives.
Here is one of the safest and most effective solutions that you could try. Read more here.
For example, a fast-growing large-breed puppy needs additional natural calcium for the development of bones and joints. Otherwise, it can suffer from joint problems all its life.
In our pets’ senior years, their bodies can no longer produce the necessary elements to ensure joint functions, a strong heart, and healthy skin condition. We can help our furry friends feel better again with the right dog supplements, thus reducing joint stiffness, inflammation, and even pain.
We have seen cases in which a senior dog could barely move and relieve itself. However, after a month of treatment with the right dog supplements, its condition improved. And after about three months, the dog was acting like a youngster again! You can call it magic, but wouldn’t you want to see your dog running happily again?
