We have two 15 year old male cats, Taylor and Alex. Someone had abandoned the two of them near our house. They look to be Maine Coons, or a mix of that bread. We took them in and have loved every day with them. They are both indoor / outdoor cats and are feed a high protein dry food daily along with a snack.Earlier this year, in the spring, Taylor developed a limp that we started noticing and then beginning in June we began to notice that his left shoulder was protruding, a little at first, and then more noticeably. Looked kinda like it was dislocated. Initially, we thought the limp was simply due to old age and protruding shoulder was due to a physical injury from jumping down from a high place. Prior to this he was still eating as usual, somewhat picky, but still as usual. He was also drinking water, behaving and sleeping as he normally would.So we brought Taylor to the vet in late June (hadn't been since getting all his shots and neutered when he was a kitten). I showed the vet a video of Taylor walking towards me while in the family room, so that he could see his gait in a more natural setting than in the vets office. After he examined Taylor, the vet said he suspected it was a tumor that had wrapped itself around his shoulder. He couldn't say with certainty until an xray was done. When the xray results came back, he confirmed what we had hoped he wouldn't. It was a tumor. The vet said he was pretty certain it was cancerous, but would only be able to know more definitively if we did a biopsy, which of course would be an additional cost. We went through a bunch of scenarios from, if it was cancerous, what are the options for a 15 year old cat? Everything from amputation of the affected leg/shoulder to radiation and chemotherapy. We decided against any of the invasive procedures due to his age and what he might gain (perhaps a few months?) from all of that and instead opted to try and give him as much pain relief as possible (keeping in mind that up to that point, he really hadn't changed his daily behavior). So we went home with a prescription for gabapentin drops to help ease any nerve discomfort / pain. We gave him 1 dose and it made him so drowsy he didn't want to eat, we discontinued it's use.Well, I'm the type that likes to look for potential alternative solutions. So I started doing some research into any available cat supplements for cancer, knowing that there isn't a 'magic bullet' out there, but rather looking for something that would give our beloved Taylor a better quality of life in his twilight years. Perhaps even slowing the progression of the disease.I found a number of products to try, and started giving them to Taylor, mixed with his usual daily treat of Temptations Classic dry treats. We have been feeding him these supplements since late June of this year (about 4 months now), and the results are very encouraging. The tumor around his should has shown no visible signs of getting larger and seems to be just a bit smaller, though that could be our wishful thinking (it's not, however getting noticably larger though). He walks with far less limping (perhaps around a 60-70% reduction) and he maintains his daily routine of eating and drinking regularly, going outside to walk around and lay in the sun and climbing our stairs to sleep on our bed in our 2nd story house. So lots of climbing and jumping.Here are the nutritional supplements we give Taylor once a day:1/4 Tsp - PureAll by Simien Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SQORJSS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=11/4 Tsp - Omega-3 by Simien Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0161JI55K/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=11/8 Tsp - Immunity by Bixbi: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0048ZAR5G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=110 Drops - CoQ10 by Stay Well Pets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CSWID1Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=18 Drops - Life Gold by Pet Wellbeing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCQR10I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Now, I'm not a vet (nor a medical doctor) but I do have a degree in BioChemistry and some graduate work in Molecular Biology / Immunology so I can appreciate what these supplements have the potential to do for animals cells (especially those stressed by a disease like cancer). The number one key thing to remember (in addition to there being no 'magic bullets' out there) is that these are supplements, and not replacements so it's important that some kind of balanced diet is maintained where possible. And while we are hopeful Taylor's tumor is not actually cancerous (benign), we realize it is most likely cancerous (malignant) so we are trying to do everything we can using supplements to give him as many pain free/less pain, quality days as we can going forward - So far, with great results.

We've been using this product for three months now, on my dog and my mother's cat. I didn't want to use two different joint formulas for the two animals so I gave this one a shot, and it exceeded my expectations.My 6yo Husky/GSD mix receives this daily as a preventative measure for his joint health. He doesn't currently require improvement, per se, but he received an A+ on his check up for mobility yesterday. I did notice that he was having larger (but totally healthy) bowel movements shortly after introducing him to this product, but things returned to normal within a few weeks. No apparent digestive discomfort at all. I lightly coat his dry food with the powder and he eats it no problem. He is an excruciatingly particular eater (as in, he won't eat a carrot unless it's either steamed or sautéed. He prefers rice over quinoa. He's THAT particular.)But it was the cat's results that really sold me on this product. She's a sprightly yet frail, 17 year old with severe joint issues and digestive problems. Within two weeks her gait had considerably improved - she didn't look like she was in any pain while she was walking. She still needs help climbing, but it isn't nearly as much of a struggle for her. And she absolutely loves the taste (but then again, she isn't picky). I purchased this product in the hopes that it would help her a bit, but I didn't expect to see such drastic results. I don't see her slowing down anytime soon, and we will continue to use this product!

My dog is picky but seems to like this... But I only do 1/4 Tsp for my 65 pound dog.I read on here that someone else's dog had too much and didn't agree with dog and panting too much... My dog has lung issues and don't want that to happen... So I'll keep it simple and a little for her.

As many of you may have experienced, cats are notorious for their lack of thirst, and it is very challenging to get them to consume the proper amount of moisture for the day. After much disappointment with commercial pet foods (first with a dry kibble free feed and water approach which just ended up causing terrible constipation problems with dire consequences, and then resorting to commercial wet food which my cats would sniff and wonder how on earth that could be considered food, resulting in many full cans being discarded) I decided to make their food. So, I would home cook their meals and add as much water as I possibly could, without it being too overwhelming for them. While one of my cats will inhale all of her food, no matter how much moisture I add, my other cat is very cautious and will be reluctant to lap up liquid if he finds it too watery. This product however is very palatable to pets and it has definitely helped with flavoring the water in my cat's food so that he'll consume all of the water I've added. I do regularly add the broth that is left after I braise meats (I find tougher cuts of beef or pork need to be braised or softened because otherwise the tough muscle fibers and gristle will cause digestive problems) for them, but that still wasn't enough for my boy cat, and adding a sprinkle of this to his bowl has helped a lot in getting his daily moisture in. I also feed this to my dogs and the powder form is very convenient and flexible in terms of dosage. I am grateful for this product. Also, I use this in conjunction with Dr. Harvey's multi-vitamin + mineral, which has a lot of greens (spirulina , mostly, alfalfa, kelp...), but also contains garlic so use at your discretion. Actually, both products contain garlic, but Dr. Harvey's garlic is much higher up on the ingredient list.
