Our Golden strained his knee three months ago it was so bad he couldn't put any weight on his right leg, we thought he might have something in one of his pads on his foot. One day it would be okay and the next it would be bad again, after a month, we finally took him to the vet because it wasn't getting any better, and she told us he had "blown out" his knee. We had never heard of that! We live in an area that gets a lot of snow and he was running and playing in the deep snow, so he must of pulled the ligaments then. She said we had two options....surgery for two thousand or surgery for twice as much and an eight month recovery period. WOW! She gave us some pain pills and a anti inflammatory and sent us on our way with that to digest, she said it would probably never get better and his left leg would suffer because of all the weight he was putting on it. Needless to say, we were pretty depressed he's only three years old and the BEST DOG EVER! When we got home, I started researching about it and found this product, (after all I take the same stuff for my bad knee, that I blew out not too long ago and it really helps me!) I also bought a small easy to use brace that I put on about five hours a day. After a few weeks, we started to notice that he was limping less and putting more weight on it. Okay, move ahead a couple more weeks and yesterday when we were on our walk he actually lifted his left leg and put all his weight on his right! He did it again today! I know the little brace helps with support but when he put his full weight on his leg he didn't have it on. I know it's all Joint Support! We are so grateful for this product! Thanks Chew+Heal, Gail
