Do any of you use Cortaflex for jointy dogs?

[Ravenwood]

Toby has a new lease of life since shooting last weekend

He has lost weight (at last!!) but plenty more to lose yet! And he has much more of a spring in his step - however, he is still obviously very stiff with a stilted gait due to his OCD.

I was wondering if anyone on here has tried it and what you thought about it.

PS: just gonna put the same post in NL as I think my horse may need a dose too!!

Not cortaflex, but my mum used nupafeed flex glm with great success on both the old codger and the dog with two broken elbows.
I use it on the horse too, tried cortaflex and naf but the nupafeed seems to suit him better.

Oh thanks Kirstyhen - I have a google of nupafeed

Personally I think cortaflex is over-hyped, but I do think different dogs/horses respond to different brands. It's just we've had such positive responses with the nupafeed!

Its always great to have a recommendation - I am getting lots in the NL post!

So many supplements!

I haven't used it for dogs or horses but the oldies here (two of them) have Cortaflex in their dinners. Harvey made it to the grand old age of 40 before he was PTS this summer - he was a little stiff but he had liquid Cortaflex in his supper very night - both of my dogs would lick it up if they got a chance but hard to say if it helped as neither of them have joint problems...........

Sweep has started to get a bit 'oldie' stiff this summer and he has a magnetic collar on now - has certainly made a difference to him!!

My friend got a joint supplement from Global herbs for her old collie who was getting stiff - couldn't jump in and out the car anymore - was fabulous stuff and worked really quickly and he was jumping in and out the car in no time - maybe worth a call or looking on thier website?

I used Cortaflex on my horse, my dog & me. Seemed to do the trick for all of us but got a bit expensive so I stopped taking it but left them on it! That was about 15 years ago & I'm still feeling the benefits from it!! As the other post said, you need to find a brand that suits your dog, not everyone gets the benefit from the same thing.
