I have two little old man puppies.
Pooh is a pedigree toy poodle, and Psycho is a mix papillion rescued from a shelter. They are both 10 years old.
Pooh had surgery on his hip to place it back into the socket
after he literally barked it out. He has a lot of joint pain from this
now that he is older.
Psycho has always had some problems with his back and hips, we
think that he was abused. We call him Psycho because when we visited
him he was so sweet and scared, however on the drive home from the
shelter he growled and showed his teeth. His first week he had bitten
everyone in our family (there are 5 of us). When he wasn't growling and
biting us, he was sweet and loved to play fetch for hours and sit on
our laps and cuddle.
Over the years, his back problems have worsened, he stopped
playing, he will get the ball and sit down with it but that is about
it. Our vet suggested that we put him on Previcox. This was great for
the first year and a half, and through the spring and summer worked
well, when fall and winter and the cold weather set in it really seamed
as if it wasn't working at all, he seemed to be in pain if he was
touched, even his breathing sounded as if he was whimpering.
I searched the internet for pain medications for arthritic dogs and found your web sight.
At $50 a month for the Previcox, I was relieved to see the price difference!
I began giving 1/2 a pill to Psycho. Being a small finicky dog I
have to crush up the pill and mix it in with his gourmet dog food. I
did notice about two weeks into giving him the VG 750 that he was
improving even as the weather got colder.
Now after a month and a half he is playing some fetch and jumping onto the couch (our bed is still too high).
I started giving the other half to Pooh who has also gained a better quality of life.
Granted it didn't turn either one of them into a puppy again, but
the mobility and quality of life they have now is so much better, thank
you for offering a great product at a great price.
