Question
I need to find a less expensive pain therapy for a 12-year-old dog (lab), very healthy other than severe arthritis in his legs. He is currently taking 6 Tramadols a day along with Metacam.  It's getting very expensive.  Is there any other product (other than aspirin)?  I need both pain and anti-inflammatory drugs).

Answer

NuJoint Plus client...
Hi Liz - I understand your situation.  Wow, that is  a lot of Tramadol!
Keep him on some Tramadol and Metacam per day.  Tell you vet you would like to try some Nujoint Plus and you will lower the Tramadol dosages.  See what dosage your vet suggests.

Call Joan - she is at the NuVET office right now....VERY safe and lower costing Supplements / they have had some great results with Arthritis and Stiff joints... Pain Relief within weeks.  
You need to build a blood level on the NuJoint....
It can take up to 3 weeks to see results.

Here is the ordering info....

Ask for NuJoint Plus and mention Marie Peppers is your pet professional from All Expert ( code 81098)

I sure hope this helps....At least there are no harsh chemicals in the NuJoint Plus
