It's worked for my dog for 5 years. She has hip dysplasia and has been on a glucosamine preparation since she was 7. It's worked great - we haven't had to resort to NSAIDS yet (they're tough on the dogs liver so we're holding them back as a last resort). DH also takes it for his knees. If he misses a few days his knees start to hurt again.

Mrs. B was having so much discomfort from the plate in her neck that a few months ago, she was literally kicking me out of bed every night. I suggested she switch from the more modern celebrex to old-fashioned, enteric asprin, and try glucosamine and MSM.

It's made all the difference in the world- she rests comfortably now.

The old dog (12) takes a lighter dose as well. FWIW, the vet tells us that in dogs, relief is highly individuallistic-- some behave like a much younger dog, others get no relief at all.

I've heard the same thing. I've also heard that some think it works better in dogs than in people (don't know why that would be). Everyone (and every species :lol:) is different, guess the only way to know for sure if it works for each person/animal is to try it. It's mostly harmless stuff, too, so if it doesn't work the only thing lost is the money to buy it...

I'm really happy it works for the animals in my family (dog and DH :lol:).
