Lexy is our little Bichon. She’s going to be 7 years old in January and she’s only 12 pounds, but she runs a very tight boat (in other words, she’s in charge).
For the first 5 years, she was a very active dog. He walked every day and enjoyed his time away from home. Then he began to lose momentum and didn’t mind his daily walks. We didn’t think about it much at first while she was growing up, but as time went on it started to get worse.
We had read about the deterioration of the joints in relation to the Bichon. My husband Ken and I had always taken care of our Lexy, but this situation had us worried.
We took her to the vet and he made suggestions about surgery and possibly a regimen of injections every week and the cost of these things was going to take a toll on our financial situation, but we said anything to make Lexy feel better.
She had already been searching catalogs and online for products that claimed to relieve joint pain and could give Lexy a new lease of life. We said we should try something. What could hurt because at the time we were carrying Lexy up and down the stairs and up and down on the furniture. He moaned with every movement and all he wanted to do was lie down (and that was even difficult).
We tested a product called Joint Care 2 Advanced with MSM from Doctors Foster & Smith for moderate to severe arthritic conditions for dogs and cats and it is available online at http://www.DrsFosterSmith.com or through their catalog. In two weeks, we saw a return of Lexy’s agility. He started walking and playing again like before! I even think Lexy was aware of the improvement. She was happy!
Lexy has now given us all the joy we experienced before and more. He makes us laugh again at his antics. Even our vet couldn’t believe the difference.
If you have a dog that experiences the same problems Lexy had, give it a try and hopefully you will get the same results.
We, along with our friends and family, can’t believe what a difference this has made to our Lexy – she’s back to being her old (new) self again!
