I was recently approached by a company called Hyaflex to test about their product for older dogs. The compound has "Hyaluronic" acid, the fluid that is in the joints of animals. I asked him to send me some samples to try on two old dogs, on 11 and the other almost 12. The 11 year old was to the point of almost not walking and doing so only when he really had to "go". The 12 year old was stiff, but still doing pretty good. I have to say, I am truly impressed with this product. The 11 year old, after a week, was "sneaking" around the kennel at night to investigate - he was not crated as he could not get in and out of one. The 12 year old has turned into a puppy - to the point that she has become a bit obnoxious - running and barking at the other dogs. Needless to say, I will be placing an order for more of this product today. No, I don't sell it, it is the first thing I have found to "really help the oldies". Our almost 12 year old is none other than the #2 highest living ROM Bitch, Silverhill's Sumthin Special, OFA, ROM. I hope it keeps her active the rest of her life.
