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

I have dachshunds and two of them have back and joint issues. I give this to them everyday at bedtime, and both are like puppies again. It’s great and I’m so glad I found this product!

I feed my small senior greyhound grain free food since I adopted her. I have her on supplements for her joints. All was well, Until this very scary situation that had happened in May of this year.It was the middle of May when the very strange symptoms happed in my little greyhound. I let my three dogs out in the backyard for a potty break. The weather had cleared after some really strong thunderstorm early that morning.One of my girls, a senior was her happy little self bouncing around in the backyard. Then suddenly I saw her shake and she moved to the side of the doorway step. She was stilling standing but NO use of her ALL four of her legs. I got the other two dogs in the house. I had to almost carry her into the house. She staggered and almost fell. Then had a hard time standing and walking.As soon as my husband got home from work we rushed her to the emergency vet. The staff at veterinarian hospital asked me happen. I explained to the veterinarian and staff that I have no clue what happened. The veterinarian had order x-rays that came back normal. It might be a back spasm. I asked about a seizure. At this point we really do not know what exactly what happen.They veterinarian gave her a prescription one of those new brand of NSAID. Its expensive but my little girl is almost 12 years old. I wanted something that would be a safer option for a senior greyhound. They did a blood panel before she was given a dose of NSAID.The veterinarian also recommended a special joint supplement. I have used different Vetri science products in the past. I saw that the Vetri Disc had similar ingredients that another brand veterinarian had recommended.My senior dog responded well to the NSAID treatment. Then I started her on the Verti Disc about a month ago. I add a capsule to her food twice a day (AM and PM). It has helped her get flexibility back in her spine. She is walking much better. She's back to her bouncy happy self. I noticed yesterday she can quiver her back when I pet her. I have not needed to give her the NSAID. It has been a long journey. It has taken about 3 months of healing time.I was really scared my senior girl might not get better. Working with the veterinarian recommended the right supplement formula to help my senior dog. There are many different kinds of supplements for the joints, but in her case she needed a supplement for the spine. I am really happy with the Vetri Science product line.

Use this for my corgis! Seems to work good

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.)

Was a lil skeptical with this item as I am with most things I purchase. I can honestly say I see a difference in my pet only having 2 weeks in. Before he was immobile and now moves around and has more strength in him. I have a 3 year old shitzu who had spinal issues due to injuries. I’ve tried several things on the market and this one’s a winner in my book. Thank You!

I have a 75lb dog who has been dealing with his 2nd and most severe IVDD episode. It’s been 1.5 years since he’s last walked, stage 5 and no DPS when this all started. Surgery, financially, was not an option. Prior to starting Vetridisc, he has recovered to at least a stage 3 and DPS has returned but we hit a plateau with everything else. After starting Vetridisc, I noticed improvement within 2-3 weeks: strength to stand up more on his own, swinging his legs underneath him as if to walk, and getting his feet placed correctly underneath him. I thought it was a fluke but he has continually gotten better at it since taking the supplement. I was told that he would never walk again, which could be true, but I’m a little more optimistic with the improvement I’ve seen. Slow progress but a win! Had I have known earlier about this, I would’ve started it a long time ago! I work in vet med and have never heard of it. But I have made sure to mention it to the vets who work with him and other owners who have pets with back issues. Highly recommend this product.
