These are typically only used for digestion help in dogs. I would ask your vet to recommend a supplement for your dogs hip problem.

I was not able to use the Kegal because I need a hip replacement. I did not know this until I tried but feel it could help a lot if not for my hip.

I bought it for my 14.5 year old lab who had hip problems. It took me pulling and my sister pushing to get her up the ramp. That said, I think a healthy dog would use it after a few trials. The ramp has a non slip surface which should give them assurance.

there is an ingredient sodium chondrotin sulfate that is essential in the repair/building of the cartiledge that the vet recommended. as to artificial ingredients from what i read they all sounded like good stuff to me and mh lab has been on this suppliment for a year and has responded very nicely to it. she is definitely getting around much better,running more and no longer bothered by her hip. great stuff!!!

One of my dogs has arthritis and seems to manage this bed, though carefully, and as long as he goes from a long side. The protruding legs tripped him up when we first got one. That may also be a factor of age. He is 75# and 14+ years old. He does take an anti-inflammatory for his arthritis.

The ramp is strong enough to hold the dog but I am not sure he will be able to climb up the ramp with bad hips. Our dog ( Welsh Corgi) is old and has arthritis in her hips plus bad eye sight and she would go down the ramp but refused to go up the ramp. Maybe because your dog is bigger it might be easier for the size of your dog. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer but it did not work for our dog. The ramp is strong and has a good covering for non slip climbing. The product is solid but again I can't tell if it would work for your dog.

I feel very secure. I can relate to your hip problem. I have have MS and balance is a real issue for me, but this stool has helped tremendously when I need to reach things. It's sturdy and the step is large enough that I don't feel unsteady on it.

actually, I can't answer exactly, because it couldn't say something changed about my dogs hip and joint. I have two dogs they're both 11 years, they're very healthy. I think maybe the dogs as a senior person who should be to eat some vitamins and health products. and I ate some products from GNC, so I trust this brand. that's the reason why I bought this for my dogs.

It hasn't for me. But, the digestive system is complex -- its quite possible it would go out of balance for another reason and align may not be alone able to fix it.

I would think it would. As you balance you are utilizing smaller muscle groups such as hip flexors ( those tendon feeling muscles on the front of your hips) along with your abdominal muscles which support the lower back and hip area.

Hey, honestly I'm not sure because I just started using it but I honestly do not think so but what I do see that helps is maybe doing a little bit of squats and lounges when you put it on! Good luck!

My lab could use these steps. She weighed more than your dog and she had back problems and her knees were bad in back legs. The only issue is that the plastic of the steps is slippery. So I would suggest gluing some carpet on the steps.

Hello, I think you will need to put a hook or something, but will have to put that hook very firm to support your legs weight. I recommend you to use it in a strong door or in any strong bar like the kind when people do Chin-Ups & Pull-Ups, it's easier. I hope I could help you.

Both my senior dogs liked this--I found when I added a little canned cooked chicken pieces on top of the dry did help also. My golden is 13--had hip problems, now going up and down the stairs. She was over weight before so didn't move well. Now being more active lost those extra pounds. I also had luck with alternating this product with Pet Naturals Hip+Joint. which is pretty much the same but with added C and manganese. Hope this helps. Bonnie

My 13 year old 22 pound, who is a tall but correct weight, miniature poodle, came to me as a two year old with noticeable hip pain and limp. X-rays showed the problem. He has been taking a combo glucosamine/chondroiten supplement since then, and rarely shows any hip problem. About two years ago I switched to the Cosequin DS plus MSM at the vet's recommendation. He seems to be doing even better, though two years older. He loves the taste, and the texture is easy for him to chew.

While I really enjoy the product, I am only in my 30s and do not have joint problems. I am not sure if it would help or not. However, it tastes GREAT it smoothies so you do not realize you are taking a supplement!
