Healthy Spine & Disc Easy-Open Capsules, Back and Spinal Support Chondroitin and Taurine Supplement for Dogs, Perfect for Dachshunds, Corgis, Frenchies, Basset Hounds & More, 180 Count

My frenchy had an episode of IVDD and after treatment with meds/rest, I decided to look into daily joint supplements. I’m really surprised at the difference this has made. Not only is my dog doing very well but even her dry nose is no longer. I did get the capsules which are quite large but in a pill pocket she eats them fine. Definitely recommend this product.

This has helped my dog with her mobility issues after an injury which cause her to be partially paralyzed. After a few weeks of this with crate rest and therapy, she was able to walk on her own. After taking this for continuously for over 6 months, my dog was able to jump on the couch. After a year of this, she was back to her old self. I think this made a huge difference in my dogs recovery.

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

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.)

My dog has ivdd, and I think these helped a lot with healing his spine. It will never be the same, but he is stronger, and can walk and run now. The pills are giant, so I just take the capsule apart and empty the powder into his food. He's a voracious eater, so he has no problem with it. It digests easily and doesn't hurt his stomach.

Can’t say enough about this product! We have a Viszla that is having spinal issues after rupturing a disc. We take her to a chiropractor and I told her I had her on this. She said to keep her on it for the rest of her life because it is definitely helping along with the chiropractic treatments. We live in an RV and she gets up and down the stairs with no issues! This is a definite must if your dog is having spinal issues to help keep them going.

My 11 year old Yorkie suddenly had no control of his legs. He would fall over from the least little bump and All 4 of his legs would sprawl out to the side when he fell on the floor. What ever happened to him...it came on suddenly and I thought he was going to be an invalid dog the rest of his sweet life. When he laid down or fell down...he struggled to get back up and most times... I had to pick him up and get him steady on his feet before he could walk. I had to carry him up and down the steps to go to the bathroom. I really wasn't sure my little boy was going to live much longer....it was a sad sad time for us both. The Vet said he thought he'd had a stroke but couldn't tell for sure by looking in his eyes because my pup has cataracts in both eyes. But I was told there was nothing much that could be done for him. Anyway...About 2 months ago, I started searching symptoms and his sounded just like IVDD. I purchased this product. My pup has been taking this about 6 weeks now...and the results have been amazing! 2 capsules a day. I break the capsules apart and pour them in his food. I've always fed him Iams...the last few years he eats the Iams Mature dry food...but recently I started putting warm water in his dry food, making a gravy and mixing the powder from the capsule in it...he doesn't even notice the powder and loves his food so much better now that I'm adding water. I waited several weeks to write an accurate review of this product... The results over the past few weeks have been REMARKABLE...He isn't falling anymore...is steadier on his feet and is now going up and down the steps...even jumping up on the sofa again!!! He even runs and has a SPRING in his step again!! He isn't 100% like he was prior to whatever happened....but he IS SO much better than he was! I had read the reviews of this product before buying....I was a skeptic!!! But not anymore...this is a great product. Whatever it's made of...it works! And I am SO happy to have my puppy/friend back. Thank you!!

The verdict is still out on this product. I have 2 mini dachshunds and one has the degenerative disc disease. He has already had a major surgery on his spine (Nov 2012) and the surgeon said she fixed it so that he would not be back for disc problems again. Oh well, so much for that, because he started howling in pain and couldn't walk, eat or move his head. My mom told me about this product almost a month ago and I ordered it immediately. I have been giving both dogs 2 a day; 1 with each meal. At the same time, his vet has him on Metecam and Tramadol so its hard to know which is working to help relieve pain. This product is to help build cartilage I believe so time will tell. Now, what I don't like is that it is in horse pill size capsules. How do I give this large capsule to my little dog? I open it and mix it into their food. Only way, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to swallow it. I will continue to give each of them 2 a day and will order another bottle. If, at the end of the 4th week on drugs, my dog is feeling better, I may try to slowly discontinue the drugs he is on but continue with the Vetri-disc. Again, time will tell but perhaps it could just be in powder form or smaller pill form.

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.
