We put Tazzy on Dasuquin as she went from jogging to plodding. Not sure if it worked or if she was being depressed but she is turning into a runner again. Don’t know how good that is as it was her running that got her hit by a car to begin with!
๐ฏ Thanks for the feedback!
Neiman started taking Dasuquin about 2 years ago when I noticed how stiff he seemed when getting up from the couch or his bed. It has made a dramatic difference – my 8.5 year old tripawd Dobe is nearly as limber as a pup!
