Besides being on a handful of medications- time, love and consistency seem to be what has helped speed up the process. Long story short- she is able to walk and go back to being semi-normal. No injury had occured, blood work, urinalysis and every lab test came back normal. Being left absolutely clueless as to what caused her to start limping and walking strange in the first place. My dog Marley has been on a journey of trying to get back to her normal mobility. He eats them every morning like it is the best treat. and the thing that happened in between was Wuffes. but I know how Dudley suffered before and I see him doing so much better. He has a smile again and sometimes he even goes over to his toy box and picks a toy and throws it up in the air and bounces a little to catch it. He goes potty all by himself and I don't have to hold him up while he goes. I still put his lifting vest on most days, because he has trouble getting up on a slick floor, but the change is almost too good to believe. It is now end of May and Dudley is back walking on his own. Dudley weights 79 lbs so I give him 4 a day. I bought Wuffes joint meds and started them sometime in March. Walking on his own was almost non existent. Vet says he is healthy from Head to Toe, with the exception of his hips. He needed constant help with walking and getting up. He could hardly stand to eat from his food bowl. His ability to squat was gone and walking was more of a swaying motion than straight line walk. I bought a "lifting" vest to take him outside and that progressed into a wheelchair to support his back legs and allow him to go out for potty breaks. He is a poop walker, not a poop squatter. In March 2022, his walking declined drastically. Old age and arthritis made it hard to walk. He had been on anti-inflammatory and pain meds for the past year for hip problems. I am not confident that it is not the combination, and for that reason I will be buying both from here on out because whatever life they have left I want to be as pain free as possible if I can afford it. I also have a family to feed and this made a difference and was within a reasonable price to at least try. I truly hope this helps someone because I love my dogs, they are part of my family and I don't want them to suffer. I wanted to make sure I included the other information only because I read all most recent reviews instead of most popular. Less sleeping, less struggling, and I would recommend. Only one got the tumeric the first day and now both are on both and are getting around quite a bit better. By the next day there was a remarkable change in both dogs. The next night the tumeric arrived and I began with one pill in addition. I got the wuffles one day prior and thought they seemed less tired. I was desperate because of the worsening of both with the new additions and warm weather and bought the wuffles (3rd different supplement tried, other 2 from amazon top rated also) and a tumeric dog chew bought from amazon. Our 12 year old corgi mix has had bilateral back meniscus and acl tears since she was 6, and doesn't like other dogs but does play with the puppy a little because she is small and afraid of her. He has been tired and lacking energy and has had some liver issues, now being monitored by vet and this was a major change. He was snappy and had a problem standing from a sit. I was puppy sitting my daughters dogs and normally my 11 year old lab loves their year old. Overall, the chews are kind of expensive but do have quality ingredients to set you up for a good support of soft tissue and joint health! I haven't noticed any obvious changes in her mobility yet as she is already fairly active, but she's only been on the chews for a short while. My shepherd was willing to eat these, with minor reluctance, and I haven't noticed any upset stomach or obvious itching indicating it is flaring up her allergies, which is a huge plus for her. There are 60 chews in each bottle, so with normal daily 3 chews a day, each bottle lasts my dog about 20 days. Just normal use of 3 chews a day is still 2 bottles a month, totalling about 80$ after tax. At 38.25 for a single bottle, that gets expensive very quickly. I was kind of shocked to see that they recommend a double dose of the chews for the first 3 weeks of use (which would be a total of 6 chews daily for my dog). This supplement has all the ingredients it should to make an effective joint supplement. My German shepherd has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia since she was two years old (she's going to be 7 this year), but finding a supplement that she is willing to eat and also doesn't flare up her allergies of animal protein has been near impossible.
