Ortho-Flex - Joint Supplement for Dogs

I'm 100% satisfied with this product. Max's vet says "Whatever you're giving him...keep doing it" His heart sounds fantastic, he's still playful and peppy. Max is 14yrs old. I wanted to give this to him to help his vitality as well as his immune system since he is prone to lipomas. He gets them on his feet the most. He has one now that is aggravating to him and so of course Max nibbled on it, puncturing it with his tooth. Although I disinfected it, kept it wrapped with clean gauze, the wound on the lipoma continued to bleed and puss just a bit- telling me the wound wasn't closing. We went to the vet, got antibiotics that helped a lot for the swelling, but still that puncture wound wasn't closing even after 2 weeks on antibiotics. He's had the e-collar on so I know he hasn't been fussing with it, preventing the closure. My theory was either Max's blood isn't clotting because of something I'm feeding him or the type of tissue on that lipoma isn't going to allow the closure. I looked it up and some ingredients in Golden Years could cause blood to not clot as well/ heal over a wound: Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Licorice Root. On a whim, I stopped the Golden Years and within 24hrs it started to clot. Within 48hrs it is looking so much better- no blood, no puss and looks completely closed! I write all this to say- This is an excellent product and I'll continue to give it to Max, but if you have a dog that has a wound that isn't healing up as it should, you may want to try to pause this product and then start back up after a week or so. I noticed some of these ingredients are also in the Ortho Flex so I paused that one as well. All in all- all natural ingredients are just what we need and what our dogs need, but some herbs/supplements can alter the body's chemistry so just be aware. Also- I would love to have this in a chew form if ever that is available in the future. This way it'd be easier when we travel with Max. Thanks, Dr. Harvey!

My 13 year old dog was slowing down considerably and getting cranky, we attributed it to discomfort and old age. For most of her life she's struggled with anxiety on a daily basis (it manifests as aggression towards her doggie sibling, panting and pacing) and is especially bothered by storms as she ages. Recently she's also become destructive with separation anxiety. This year she was also diagnosed with a chronic condition. First I tried the MOBILITY supplement, on the advice of a friend, and noticed results within a week or two, it was wonderful to see my old lady perk up a bit and get around better, she was clearly more comfortable. Next, we tried the RELAX supplement in addition to the meds from our behavior vet. The meds daily meds have helped her, but I really didn't like "drugging" her with sedatives when a storm was coming in. I tried RELAX and it has really helped her seem more calm and comfortable in general. She's considerably less cranky and better able to deal with the weather now. I know it works for her because if I skip it for a meal or run out, her anxiety and agitation increases considerably. Finally, we started the Kidney Health supplement after she was diagnosed with a kidney condition. We changed her diet (low protein, low phosphorous). I didn't like the idea of feeding the hyper-processed prescription diets recommended by the vet, so I decided to do 50/50 commercial and real food. I used Dr. Harvey's Vibrance and followed the low-protein directions for older dogs, plus added some healthy grains (quinoa or millet). Her kidney values have stabilized and have looked better than expected for the last two tests. Hooray! The vet definitely does not approve, but since her bloodwork looks "surprisingly good", I'm continuing the supplement. She did recently develop a GI/UTI infection, so there will be no more raw food to minimize her kidneys having to deal with pathogens, but I'll supplement her diet with lightly cooked real food. Anyway, I've been very pleased with all the products from Dr. Harvey's
