Surprised by the positive results
June 23, 2009
I have a 12+ year old Sheltie with joint issues. Therapies tried were glucosamine/chondroitin and msm combinations along with some gentle daily musculoskeletal massage. The results were disappointing. There was small improvement but not significant enough to give my pet a better quality of life. I am student working on my Master of Nursing and my pet's vet asked if I could evaluate a product that he was using for his pet. From my understanding, the benefits showed moderate to much improved joint mobility, decreased pain, and an increase in ambulation of all extremities from using Phycox.Well, WOW!!! I was joyously happy to evaluate Phycox for the opportunity to give my pet some relief.I consistently administered Phycox for three weeks. After approximately a week and a half, I did see some small improvement. My pet was quicker to rise and he followed me into the household rooms more often. I was thrilled. However, I thought perhaps that I was also biased and my perception of the product results skewed because I wanted it to work so badly. By the end of the third week of using the product, my pet had markedly improved. Albeit, he was not a zippy 7 year old pup again, but he was living life more comfortably and able to move more freely. His comfort means so much to me.I discontinued the product after three weeks. My pet finished the product and the evaluation period ended. After one week of discontinuing the product, I noticed his joint movement slowly deteriorate. Then, of all things, my husband (no prior knowledge of our pet taking the Phycox), turns to me and says "is he ok? He doesn't seem to be moving around like he was. I just took him outside and he isn't running around the yard like he has been. He went to the bathroom and stood there and came in." Oh, my!!!! Folks, we have a winner!! I immediately purchased the biggest bottle of the soft chew Phycox I could find. I am so pleased with the results. Again, it is not a miracle in the sense you will get a puppy back, but who knows!!! It may bring comfort and mobility to many pets. I sure hope it does. I will never, never, let my pet be without Phycox.As a final note:I am not a sponsor or product rep.I am not an endorser.I am not saying this product is a cure-all or will do anything spectacular. I am just giving my observation and experience from using the product.
