Arthritis Pain, Joint Health, UTI & Skin Conditions-All Natural BUCHU Anti-Inflammatory rich with Antioxidants & Vitamins for Improved Wellbeing (60 Capsules)

I wanted to wait a few days to see how well this product works and can only say that it's amazing! My standard Pomeranian is quite old - I don't know her exact age as she is a rescue I took in when her elderly owner passed away and no one in the family would take her. She was old then so I'm guessing she's at least 15-16 years and just in the last month or so, she has been having back leg and hip issues such as legs shaking and abruptly sitting down. At her age, arthritis isn't uncommon so I looked through quite a few products to find one that might make her life easier. This product has so many wonderful reviews that I decided to give it a try. Four days of opening a capsule and drizzling the contents on Cece's food each morning has already made an improvement in her hip/joint issues. She's not fully back to acting like a puppy, but her legs are not shaking, she has not suddenly sat down in two days, plus she is successfully stepping up and down the couple of stairs that lead to the back yard again. I believe, given a few more days of Ricky's capsules on her food, Cece will be back to doing her usual spins when I say, "Outside?" and be able to stand on her back legs and beg for treats. As for how much I give her - she is a standard Pomeranian at around 12 pounds and have given her one capsule opened and drizzled on her food in the morning (all I do is puncture the gelcap with a pin and squeeze it on her food). She eats that bit of food over anything else in the bowl, so it must smell and taste good to her. What I can say is that all the reviewers who said this works - they are right!

UPDATE: March 2, 2016I now 100% believe that this product is amazing! I started giving my dog these pill in august 2015(review below). I was giving it to him every day but sometime around December I ran out and I felt that he was doing so much better that I could just stop them. BIG MISTAKE. He started moaning in pain everyday and had a little less energy(took about a week of no pills for this to happen). I quickly realized this and reordered the pills. Well it took a total of 3 days but he is pain free again. I know that given his age he will have to drink these for life but I don't mind. I am just really happy these work for him. He is pain free and acting like a young pup again.I got these pills for my 14 year old shih tzu mix after a vet visit. They found that my dog has arthritis in his back, legs and paws. According to the vet it is not terrible but I had noticed that my dog had been complaining for quite some time. At first we all thought that when we picked him up we might be hurting him a little which is why he was moaning. However we realized that he would moan even when he was laying down. After the vet gave us the diagnosis it all made sense.. the moaning was from the pain he was feeling. He was prescribed Rimadyl but before I buy any prescription I always have to thoroughly research the good, the bad and weigh the options out. I found several articles talking about in very rare cases there were some side effects with Rimadyl. I honestly can't say if it's true or not, but that was enough for me to want to look for alternatives. Here is where this product comes in. I was skeptical and kept a log to track my dogs' progress. I received the item on Wednesday August 5th and the first day I didn't notice much; he was still moaning in pain. However, the next day he stopped moaning completely! I wanted to wait a couple more days before I could give an honest review on the product and today August 9 I can say he has not moaned in pain for 3 whole days! This might not seem like a lot but trust me when I tell you it is! He even has more energy (because he is not in constant pain) and he has a better appetite for it. I combine this with an All Natural Glucosamine supplement and they seem to be helping my dog! I do have to hide the pill in a treat because he wont take it as is, but I really was not expecting him to just take it so it doesn't bother me.

I don't notice any huge improvement in my dog although she is a little better. Yet, I gave her the minimum dosage, I gaveher one a day and noticed a little improvement, she could take 3 a day as per this but that gets pretty expensive so I maygive her two a day now.

These worked great but getting my dog to take them was a challenge. He refused to eat them in anything (cheese, Pill Pockets, peanut butter, etc) so I had to resort to shoving them down his throat. That worked for a couple weeks, then he figured out how to gag them back up so dealing with that 2x/day was such a pain. They product worked GREAT, my senior arthritic dog was more active and able to use his back legs more; I used an entire bottle! I will not continue to use though, as I do not want to fight with my dog every day to swallow them; I wish they tasted and smelled better.
