I am a huge fan of your products. I use the Total Joint Care Equine and Canine. My corgi recently was diagnosed as needing orthopedic surgery for his right hind knee joint. He was none weight bearing lame. I doubled up his joint tablets for about a month and he is 100% sound and taking hour long walks with me with no problems. I also use the Total Calm & Focus. Wonderful products you have created.

Hi all, a month or two ago, I ordered TJC for my Border Collies and told everyone that I would use them as a case study.
I raise /train/compete with my Border Collies in sheepdog and cow dog trials. It takes a good dog to place, let alone win. This is the *WORKING TEST* of the Border Collies on a field...the dogs have to get sheep or cows that are 1/4-1/2 mile away and put them through a course. You can not leave your post (area) but command the dog with whistles, The sheep are usually wild range sheep who will turn and fight a dog so these trials can be very challenging and show a true working dog. The cows are off the range. (This is not AKC) Here is the link - it gives more details ...I hope I did not screw up by posting it but this tell about the competition http://www.usbcha.com/I put three dogs on the test trial- after one month
Shiro- 14 yr retired Border Collie. Was run over by the UPS truck so her hips are ruined. She would be in pain and whine when getting up/down.
Results: No longer whines in pain. Tries to play with the other dogs. Can get up/down without assistance
ADDED ON AUGUST 23!!!! . Shiro went ball chasing and even brought the ball back. She hasn't done this in over a year. Tonight she was trotting to get the ball, got the ball and brought it back numerous times. we didn't see any pain or stiffness just old age/slow. Jeff was very impressed with what he saw tonight.
Tess- my top National Level female. She was 6th place Nursery Champion in 2001 in North America Sheepdog Finals , 86th in the Open Championship in 2004 Sheepdog Finals , ProNovice dog of the year in Alberta Canada and numerous other top placings. Was getting stiff and slow on her trial...very noticeable...her heart was there but her body was not. Was considering retiring her. After a trial she would be very stiff/sore for a few days.
Results: So much for retirement. She comes out like a racecar and is very fast and no stiffness in her. The standing joke is now "I thought you were going to retire her....so like when?".She has placed in the top 20% of the class which is very difficult. She runs out without any stiffness and acts like she is a 2 year old. The days after the trial, there is no stiffness
Scott- he worked 5000 cows on a 200,000 acres cattle ranch for 6.5 yr and was the main and most of the time, the only dog. He worked wild cattle off the mountains, often for 12-14 hr a day. I got him 1.5 yrs ago and ran him in sheepdog and cattle trials. a few months ago I saw he was stiff and hurting when he would go to get the livestock, no doubt from the hard work over the many years.
Results: He is not stiff and sore but now goes to get the livestock with a nice fluid motion. You can tell that he does NOT hurt anymore. So much that he will now swim for a hour without stopping and then fetch balls. He works at home and looks happy when running. Again, the next few days after, he is not stiff or sore.
So based on that I used TJC on my aged Border, my top trial dog and my cowdog, I can say it has made a huge difference.
I am very please to have my NUMBER ONE DOG, Tess still run COMPETITIVELY at the toughest level.
I will be ordering some more

UPDATE:
That da** dog, Tess, well over 9 years old and most trial dogs are retired by then...well, she just won a very challenging Open (Professional) class...the sheep were placed on top of a hill and the dog had to do a blind outrun (meaning they could not see the sheep -go through a gully and up a wooded hill) and then put the sheep through a tough course. Tess won it handily and no other dog was close to her points. Not a sign of stiffness as this was a very tough course. About 40% of the dogs did not complete the course.
On the second day, which is the day she is normally is tired, she came out like steamroller and it was all I could do to hold her back. She was on fire.
Another person who dogs has arthritis also has his dog on this product and he can run his dog in compettions now
On a another note (Christine and Dick Reed's former Border Collie Lucy), also ran in the ProNovice class (Intermediate class) and she won hands down.
Just ordered some more.

HELLO,
JUST WANTED TO SO THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!! MY APX 13 YR OLD RESCUED DOG HAD BEGUN SHOWING SIGNS OF ARTHRITIS. HE WOULD STRUGGLE TO GET UP FROM A LYING POSITION AND WOULD WALK SOWLY TO GREET ME WHEN I GOT HOME EACH NIGHT. IT WAS HEARTBREAKING.
WHEN YOUR SALES PERSON, LYNN, WAS IN THE STORE WHERE I WORK, I ASKED HER WHY, SINCE THE TOTAL JOINT CARE FOR HORSES HAD BECOME SO POPULAR DIDN'T THEY HAVE SOMETHING FOR DOGS? THATS WHEN SHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE CANINE VERSION. sHE OFFERED ME A SAMPLE BOTTLE TO TRY.
AFTER GIVING "FUDGIE" THE PILLS FOR ONLY 5 DAYS, I SAW IMPROVEMENT. ONE WEEK AFTER HIS FIRST DOSE, I WATCHED HIM RUN TO THE GATE TO GREET ME . I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES. HE WAS LIKE A NEW DOG.
AFTER A MONTH I RAN OUT OF PILLS AND WITHIN ONE WEEK HE WAS BACK TO JUST LYING AROUND.
ONE DAY I PULLED UP TO THE GATE AND HE JUST LAYED ON HIS RUG AND DIDN'T RUN OUT TO GREET ME. IT HIT ME THEN. I HAD FORGOTTEN HE WAS OUT OF HIS TOTAL JOINT CARE.
I GOT AHOLD OF LYNN AND GOT A NEW BOTTLE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS, HE WAS LIKE A PUPPY AGAIN.
WE HAD BEEN SELLING ONLY A FEW OF YOUR PRODUCTS AND NONE WERE FOR DOGS. NOW WE WILL SOON HAVE PRODUCTS FOR OUR CANINE AND EQUINE FRIENDS.
I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH.
