Has anyone ever used it I was able to get 2 bottles off of a friend. And I am going to try it on our golden in place of rimadyl for his arthritis. This morning I put drops on peanut butter bread and passed it out. The boog inhaled his and was looking for more peanut butter bread. Ok man boog dogs like that and Im interested. In seeing if it helps our golden retriever become more mobile. Let me know if anyone has ever tried this before. I know rimadyl can damage a furry friend. So this is the alternative.

I never used Rimadyl for my dogs arthritis because of the side effects so ask your vet about ETODOLAC. My hubby is a pharmacist and he turned my vet onto Etodolac for our dogs arthritis. Its still $$ but not as much as Rimadyl or the other dog meds. This is a human med. My old dog was on it daily for years with no side effects. When i broke some ribs i self medicated with my dogs ETODOLAC and was surprised how well it worked. I finally asked my doc for my own script.

I asked our vet and he says he has never used it. But the friend I got it off of her vet used it on his shepherd who is older.
Sort of. Used regular ol pot butter on an old rottie that had serious mobility issues. Worked very well. He put back on the weight he lost, quit whining in his sleep and seemed to generally be happier. Of course he was in bad shape and only lasted a couple of years longer but his pain level was way down at the end.
Best of luck!

One of her older dogs was nearing the end of his life and was really suffering from the effects of arthritis. A fan sent Stephanie some CBD oil to try on her dog.
Now this is my recollection - the dog had an amazing reaction. Previous to taking the oil he was refusing to go outside and hardly moving. After only a couple of days the dog was going outside and moving around pretty well. It was night and day.
Unfortunately he died a couple months later, but IIRC the CBD oil did the trick on his arthritis.

(12,881 posts)I hope it works for our golden retriever he still wants to go for walks. So Ill take him just a little bit and on rimadyl he was having great success. But it is so harsh on kidneys so here is hoping for the oil.

Great pain reliever, appetite enhancer, seizure control.
I used on special, very special dogs. One had an aggressive metastasizing cancer who actually lived to 16. Diagnosed at 14.5.
The other sweet friend had multiple ailments and mobility issues.
Pain and disease side effects were greatly controlled with the capsules. Both dogs had great appetites until their final and very sad day.
On edit: this product is hemp based with cbd technology used by this Veterinarian owned company.
The staff is great, very informative. Legal product, and can be shipped anywhere.
