DGP for joint pain--testimonial time...
I'm trying a new product for Viva's spondylosis and arthritis. And I'm
so thrilled with it that it's testimonial time. First let me say that I'd never heard of it until last month, that I do not own any stock in the company that makes it, that I don't work for them, that I have no vested interested in their bottom line. But the stuff WORKS. So my interest is in the dogs. The product is Dog Gone Pain (DGP). It's an Australian product and is a combination of herbs as well as shark cartilage. I'm not going to scream "all natural, it must be good!" because "all natural" can be far from benign. But it is an herbal supplement. Nuff said. Whole Dog Journal did an extensive write up of DGP. Basically, in an informal study by an RN that was pretty decently structured, every dog in the study had improvement. So I started it on Viva. WDG said that for most dogs, effects were seen in 2 to 6 weeks. I saw a difference in two days. And now, a month in, I have a completely different dog on my hands. Viva is much more active, much brighter. She LOOKS better. It's sort of hard to quantify but her acupuncturist said, "she looks tighter" and it's true--her coat is more glossy and her whole body posture has changed. Viva's more limber, more flexible, and able to do more exercise with less fallout. It's as if this stuff has taken 2 years off her life. Now WDG has a few cautions. One dog in the study had to be dropped because he had an allergic reaction to one of the herbs. Not all dogs had dramatic improvements, in some cases the owner felt there was no change but then noticed a change the other direction when the drug was dropped. And DGP can alter the absorption rate of other drugs (increase) so use Rimadyl, etc. with caution. And once the dog is on it, they need to stay on it. Not that it will hurt them if it's dropped, but the beneficial effects do not last. And it will NOT cure arthritis! It just helps the dog feel better and it seems to increase range of motion. I still give glycoflex 3 along with the DGP. I'm thrilled with this product. I'd urge anyone with a dog with arthritis to try it and see if it works for them. Testimonial over... |
