Hi all. Penny is my 4.5 year old Great Pyrenees mix. She's a great dog and a great guardian for my sheep. She's had some tough times though, the latest one being a run in with spear grass. It was awful. We got that taken care of and while she was on pain medication for that, I realized how happy and active she was when pain free. After she healed from the spear grass, and came off of the pain meds, she slowed down some and just didn't seem as happy and active as she was while on the pain meds. I suspect she's probably already starting to have some joint pain and issues. When I would walk out to the pasture, she would just lay there, not wagging tail and not getting up until I made a big to-do calling her. I knew I could start her on a maintenance pain medication but just hated to do that this young in her life. I happened to come across someone mentioning a product on Facebook and did a little research on it. It's called Advanced Cetyl M for dogs. Decided to give it a shot and bought 120 tablet bottle. It's a supplement with no pain medication in it. The reviews were primarily positive and didn't indicate any negative side effects. Penny weighs about 85-95 pounds. The loading dose for her weight is six tablets a day. They are chewable and she eats them without having to hide them in a treat. She's been getting three in the morning and three in the evening since August 7th. I'm going to give her the loading dose through tomorrow and then go to the maintenance dose (for her weight, 3 tabs a day). I took these videos of she and one of my males (Ari) this morning. It made me so happy I could cry. Take a look.

I'm not affiliated with this product in any way at all. Just wanted to share our experience with it thus far. I purchased from Jeffers because I use them for other items and it's usually free shipping. I'll be ordering the larger bottle next time. Here's a link if you want to take a look.
