PRN Pharmacal Duralactin Canine Chewable Tablets - Joint Health Supplement for Dogs & Puppies - Contains Milk Protein - Vanilla Flavor - 180 Chews

👍

I believe this product is helpful however a price increase of 68% from my last purchase in November for $69 to $118 will force me to find an alternative.These supplements are more expensive than eggs

We are members of Southern Az Golden Retriever Rescue, no Golden ever spends a night in a pound one of our members will pick them up. I picked this dog up after being left at a kind vet that was found in the desert 15 pound too light, took 16 stitches in his neck, broken bones in his front feet and a completely dislocated front elbow that healed that way with the ball completely out of the socket. He was on two rimadyl (which damages the liver) a day and still limp badly. I brought a snake trainer out to teach him and the trainer said he had never had his shocker on max and still our dog did not respond so could not be trained to avoid the sound, smell and site of a rattler due to the remedial. Our Rescue vet said remove the leg, I took him to two orthopedic vets who said the same thing but our personal old time vet said to Rescue Management that we could be trust to do what is right for the dog when this had to be the result in the end. We were allow to keep him and we put him on Duralactin and within two months the limp was gone and now 8 years later he might get one or two rimadyl a year at the most from playing with puppies.

I had my 6 year old Great Dane multiple medicines for his joints and skin. Nothing seemed to help him with his aging body and sensitive skin. I also tried pain medication from the vet and it destroyed his stomach. Took me a week to calm it down. I read all the great results on Duralactin so I decided to give it a try. Within 1 week I noticed my dog was more active and his skin has started to look better. Going to stick with this product. So happy with it. It is costing me less the the other products I have tried which is a bonus. Thank you to the company for making this 💕

not sure if they help but my 9 year old Doberman loves them

I have never left a review for a product before, so hopefully you’ll understand how amazing this product is that I felt the need to do this. One of my dogs has several medical complications including an autoimmune disorder where she has to be on a steroid for the rest of her life. When she had a relapse and I had to increase the prednisone, she partially tore her ACL do to the fluidity in her joints from the meds. She couldn’t have surgery because of her medications. I tell you all this so you can understand my desperation to find something to help her be comfortable. I tried pain meds and other joint supplements including movoflex and dasuquin. NSAIDs are not an option due to her being on steroids. After a couple months of struggling to find something to help her since she now had a limp and obviously didn’t have the same drive to run or play anymore, I had an internist vet recommend this product. Since there were no risks of complications with her conditions, I gave it a shot. She has been on this product for a little over a year now, and I can’t begin to express the difference it has made in her. She was on this for about a month and a half to two months when I noticed a drastic change. (Make sure you give this time to work; the protein needs to build up in their system.) She wanted to run and play and jump like she used to. The only time she walks with a limp now is if she’s had a lot of activity during the day. This product is not only one of the least expensive option for joint health in dogs but it does the most good. My only complaint is it does have a decently strong vanilla odor, so sometimes I have to cover it in cheese or her food to get her to eat it. My other dog is now showing symptoms of arthritis so I’m not even hesitating on putting her in this as well. I can’t recommend this product strongly enough. All I can say is thank you to whomever created this product because it saved my dog’s life.

Our oldest dog Copa is 12 and has arthritis and a tear in his rear (passenger side).He has been getting Meloxidyl daily, laser treatments of the hips and knees every 3 weeks, adequan injections every month and daily doses of tramadol pain killers (4 on good days, 6 on bad days) after 6 months of this course of treatment his healing had leveled off, Without the drugs he is in bad shape, with them he does ok and just either limps or uses 3 paws for getting around. He still wants to go for a walk everyday, still wants to hike (not gonna happen) and still loves to play with his sister and run around the yard.A friend of ours who is a retired vet recommended Duralactin. He admitted he wasn't completely sure why it worked but had seen it work wonders on dogs with similar problems.So today is 5 months and although Copa will not be hiking again anytime soon, we have no more limping, no more holding up his paw, no more trouble getting up, no heavy panting when he was in between doses, no temporary lameness when he was a few days short of his laser treatment. Just a good old dog that is getting along just fine.He still gets a few tramadol a day (mostly for our sake), we still have him on the other treatments (mostly to help our vet pay for his second home) and he still goes for laser treatments on the hips and knees, but it's about every 6 weeks now and there is no noticeable sign that he needs it or it helps.If he didn't have bad arthritis I would probably take him off everything else - but we are happy to give him the works when it comes to medical treatment in order to make sure he is with us as long as possible.I love duralactin, have recommended it to other pet owners and although it doesn't seem to make sense to us why it works - you dog will attest to the fact it does.As far as how long it takes. Copa seemed to have improvement after 30 days and every month since gets noticeably better.

Have been using for several years now.Our almost 11 year old Border Collie loves the vanilla flavor. Smells like vanilla ice cream. Easy to give and break in half has a center dip all the way across the table giving him 1-1/2 tablets 2 times daily right after he eats. He weighs 110 pounds. So he takes 1-1/2 two times daily morning and evening meals.
