VetriScience Healthy Spine & Disc for Dogs, 180 Count

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.

This supplement has changed my senior dog’s life! He is back to hiking and playing with his little sister again after just 2 months of supplementing. We had several incidents of IVDD when he turned 9 YO, in which the vet told us there is no intervention other than surgery. After some research, I found this and decided to give it a try out of desperation. He’s been pain free for 4 months now!

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

Let me preface this by saying, I never write reviews for a product. This pill is amazing! Our dog was diagnosed with ivdd in January just a few wks before his 5th bday. Vet prescribed some meds and told us, if in a wk he’s not feeling better we’d have to get surgery done. Needless to say, we don’t have $9,000-$10,000 saved up for a dog surgery that “may or may not” work. They also said, if we didn’t get the surgery done that it would only be a matter of time before paralysis set in. Did some research and found this product. After about 2-3 wks our little guy was back to himself as if he never fell ill. My wife was in denial for the couple of weeks but I seen his progress within the first week or so. After about a month of watching him, she’s definitely a believer now. I would suggest this to anyone who’s unsure about this product. I’d even become a spokesperson for it. lol

We got our first Frenchie last July. With research - I discovered that they are prone to IVDD. I started my boy on these supplements right away to get ahead of any flare ups/issues. He is now 1 year old and doing great! No issues! We mix the capsule into his wet food every day and he gobbles it down. He is also on Cosequin and a overall multivitamin. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking incorporate this supplement for their long backed pups!

Unfortunately, I had to return this item. I gave my nearly 14 year old dog about 1/4 of a capsule of this powder mixed into her food several times, hoping to ease her into taking this. Unfortunately, every time I added this to her food, she ended up vomiting either half an hour or a few hours later. I know it is this supplement because I didn’t give it to her on consecutive days, as I tried it a couple times one week, and then attempted it again about a week later. I had a feeling the first couple times that it was this supplement, but I thought it could be a fluke so I waited to ensure she was good and healthy before trying again and sure enough —> vomit. Very sad for my old pup; I really hoped this would help reduce her bulging disc episodes. Since I didn’t get to try this supplement for a whole month or even a whole bottle, I gave it a neutral rating. Good news is she never seemed to notice it mixed in with her food. Obviously it made no difference on her arthritis the few times I gave this to her. She never actually had a full dose since I was being cautious. P.S. It seemed to make her very sleepy, also. I don’t know if that was a good thing like she was finally comfortable or if it knocked her out in a loopy way.

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.
