VetriScience Healthy Spine & Disc for Dogs, 180 Count

Got it to help 13 year old Lab. He s on several supplements in addition to a quality diet, and this is one more. I’ll do anything to make keep him healthy and with us longer. I give him 3 capsules in pill pockets. He thinks it’s a treat. Price point is good. Packing was well done. Will continue to use this product.

Super easy to sprinkle on dogs meals so no issue with taste. We saw relief and a noticeable difference within 1 week of use. Our dog has IVDD and he has not had a flare up since starting this. Highly recommend.

Amazing! My dog had a wobbly leg (age related) and now he walks normal again.

On November 7th, I woke up at 5:00 A.M. as usual and got my dog out of the bed. He is a 9.5 year old Cairn Terrier / Dachshund cross that we got from an animal shelter about 8 years ago. Even though his legs are short like a Dachshund, I swear they have built in springs and he could always jump 3.5 feet straight off the ground onto my bed or from a lesser height on to the couch. The problem is that he's always jumped OFF the bed (3.5 feet) for years even though he has stairs (he doesn't use them). I'd always commented to my wife that he would probably end up with joint problems one day. What I didn't realize was that he would end up paralyzed from a back injury. On November 7th, I got a quick (and traumatic) crash course in dog paralysis from disc problems in the back. As I said, I got him out of the bed. That morning, he did not jump from bed to the floor. I picked him up and sent him outside with his brother (a 10 year old Yorkie / Schnauzer shelter rescue) and he walked outside fine under his own power. When I went to let him in, he was dragging both back legs and couldn't move them at all. I rushed him to the vet who gave me the bad news. His two options were a $5,000-$6,000 back surgery with no guaranteed results, or crate rest and laser treatments. Given his age and the no guarantee of results, we opted for the less invasive treatment. It’s important to know that even fully paralyzed, he never lost deep feeling in his paws (very important!). He stayed at the vet until Friday. I found these pills quite by accident while doing research on dog back injuries. I read the reviews and decided to order them for giggles…if I got any benefit from them it would be an added bonus. He came home Friday, and the pills arrived on Sunday. I began giving them to him twice a day. Put a dab of peanut butter on the pill and he scarves it right down. After a week, his tail started to wag again (he couldn’t even move it.) After two weeks, he started moving one leg, and after three weeks, the other leg. At 4 weeks, he began walking again (very slowly and wobbly but walking on his own.) Now at 6 weeks, he’s running (if we don’t catch him in time) and has managed to jump on and off the couch again when we weren’t watching. He’s still a little wobbly, especially in his right leg and the vet says he may reach a plateau in his healing and recovery. I’m not sure if it’s the crate rest, the laser treatments (we did about 5) or the Vetri-Science. I’m willing to say that the Vetri-Science at least partly contributed some to his recovery. Even if he never returns 100% back to where he was pre-injury, I’ll take it! He’s mobile and can go outside and use the bathroom by himself. He gets around fine. We still crate him at night and when we’re gone. If we’re home, but not watching him, he gets crated. I can’t trust him not to jump up and down and he’s gotten his jumping skills back! Give the Vetri-Science a try! For this price, you can’t go wrong! (Important Note: We were originally giving it to him with wet dog food by sprinkling it on top of the food. Not sure if it was the food, the medicine, or both, but after two weeks we went through a 4 day period of diarrhea that was awful. He's always eaten dry food since we've had him, so we think the wet food was TOO rich for him. We started giving him the pill with peanut butter on it and he scarves it right down. He eats his dry food and takes the pill 2x daily and no more diarrhea since we cut out the wet food.)

One day my mixed pug & chiwawa started crying hiding under the bed in pain, took him to the vet & they told me that around the neck the disks were too close after paying over $300 for an x-ray, the vet told me I had two options. Option number one is he will need surgery that will & could go over $4,000 & wasn’t guaranteed due to him being small at the time. Option number 2 was as time went on it would only get worse not better, to put him down. So I did my research to find something better because there should be another way. So I came across this product. Specifically for what he needed. After the vet we were given painkillers to give the dog for only 2 weeks. The puppy sat in a crate to minimize moment when we were gone but outside when we arrived in our care, after 2 weeks, I started to give him these. Ever since then he hasn’t cried in pain or showed signs of discomfort till this day we still give them to him him on a daily basis. This is prolly our 4th bottle so I’d say it works or atleast it works for him. The pills are not small so might have to force it or trick them into eating or swallowing, sometimes whip cream does the trick but hopefully this helps other fur baby owners in what they are looking for

So far so good

I feed my small senior greyhound grain free food since I adopted her. I have her on supplements for her joints. All was well, Until this very scary situation that had happened in May of this year. It was the middle of May when the very strange symptoms happed in my little greyhound. I let my three dogs out in the backyard for a potty break. The weather had cleared after some really strong thunderstorm early that morning. One of my girls, a senior was her happy little self bouncing around in the backyard. Then suddenly I saw her shake and she moved to the side of the doorway step. She was stilling standing but NO use of her ALL four of her legs. I got the other two dogs in the house. I had to almost carry her into the house. She staggered and almost fell. Then had a hard time standing and walking. As soon as my husband got home from work we rushed her to the emergency vet. The staff at veterinarian hospital asked me happen. I explained to the veterinarian and staff that I have no clue what happened. The veterinarian had order x-rays that came back normal. It might be a back spasm. I asked about a seizure. At this point we really do not know what exactly what happen. They veterinarian gave her a prescription one of those new brand of NSAID. Its expensive but my little girl is almost 12 years old. I wanted something that would be a safer option for a senior greyhound. They did a blood panel before she was given a dose of NSAID. The veterinarian also recommended a special joint supplement. I have used different Vetri science products in the past. I saw that the Vetri Disc had similar ingredients that another brand veterinarian had recommended. My senior dog responded well to the NSAID treatment. Then I started her on the Verti Disc about a month ago. I add a capsule to her food twice a day (AM and PM). It has helped her get flexibility back in her spine. She is walking much better. She's back to her bouncy happy self. I noticed yesterday she can quiver her back when I pet her. I have not needed to give her the NSAID. It has been a long journey. It has taken about 3 months of healing time. I was really scared my senior girl might not get better. Working with the veterinarian recommended the right supplement formula to help my senior dog. There are many different kinds of supplements for the joints, but in her case she needed a supplement for the spine. I am really happy with the Vetri Science product line.

** Updated ** This is causing a lot of stomach upset despite me following instructions to give 1 capsule with/after food. I have reduced dosage by half because of that. ** My almost 7 yo frenchie has back problems (spondylosis + arthritis) and had surgery on both knees (patelar luxation) years ago. Every now and then she would have some sort of flare up and would just become less active. Not sure if she has IVDD (x-ray showed some narrowing on T12 but no neurological symptoms). If she does it would be stage 1 but given her other issues it is difficult to tell. But I do suspect that her latest pain flare up was because of her spine. One month or so ago she had a flare up and was walking more slowly and avoiding going up stairs (although capable of doing it). Like before i limited her activities but she was not getting back to full normal. I read about this supplement and decided to try. After a few days she is pretty much back to her normal. Coincidence or not. I will keep giving this to her long term. There is a pretty interesting study in a person showing that supplementation with chondroitin, glucosamine and manganese improved disc degeneration (specially if early stage). Worth noting that i have a very broad approach to her issues. Weight loss, ramps in the house, avoid long walks specially in hilly areas, no rough play, etc. So this supplement is just another tool i am using. She is also on rejensa and omega 3 for years now. But adding this supplement seemed to make a huge difference. A game changer.

My spaniel dog had ruptured discs and went paralysed in back legs and now has IVDD. He had the operation and took 6 weeks to walk again. He’s been on this for around a month now, together with Yumove. He does seem to be getting stronger. I will keep using this, just in case it is this that is helping. UPDATE AFTER 2 YEARS OF USE: My boy has become so much stronger and I think these really do help. I switched from Yumove to Glycoflex 3, so now use both VetriDisc and Glycoflex 3 and they really do help him stay strong and enjoy life.

I have been given this supplement to my 15 yrs old dog who is suffering from joint pain. This supplement was recommended by dogs volunteers that they found it works very well to many dogs. We did tried one bottle and now reorder the second bottle.

When I found out my 4 year old frenchy had IVDD I immediate went online and after reading many reviews found these wonderful supplements, so happy I did! She's been on them for 6 months and we have not have any episodes, she has her energy back and engages in play again. Started noticing a difference after about 6-8 weeks. These are a staple for our girl and we always make sure we have full stock at all times! Waffles is a happy girl again :)

Excellent supplement. Bought for an aging dog who needed help with hip stability. Benefit seen within 2 weeks and she turned back into a puppy!

Our small dog suffered a neck sprain and was in massive pain. We could barely touch him, even sometimes he would look up a tiny bit and yelp in pain. We were thinking that surgery might be the only option. But we decided to make him a coconut oil/turmeric blend, combine it with green lipped mussels and these vetridisc pills. Within 1 week he was jumping off the couch again with no pain.
