phycox usage with rimadyl usage I'm wondering if it's safe to give my dog both rimadyl and phycox? Should I try to wean off the rimadyl once the phycox has been started??

Phycox is a joint supplement, rimadyl is a pain medication. The two serve separate but complimentary functions. Rimadyl has actually been discontinued, although the same medication (but not in chewable format) is now available from a different supplier under a different name. As both rimadyl and the replacement med are available by prescription only, you should get the advice of your veterinarian for your animal, but the concurrent use of the two was recommended by my veterinarian for my eight year old dog with arthritis in his hips.

My yorkie-maltese was diagnosed with hip dysplasia (with osteoarthritic changes) at two yrs old. Shes been on 25 mg chewable rimadyl for 3 years now and its been a great product. I walk her daily and she runs and fetches. Hopefully i can put off her FHO surgery for years to come. I do also feed her food containing omega 3 and give her a joint supplement treat daily. I plan to try phycox as her joint supplement treat as the one ive been giving her has been discontinued. My vet recommended using both together as well as a dog food containing omega 3/6.

Sorry, I did not use product as it has an ingredient that I feel is unsafe for my dog. I threw it away.

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.

I give one for my 11 lbs. poodle which is the small one and a larger one for my 22 lbs. poodle. I gave up on the trauma of cramming it down their throat with a pill dispenser. I know direction say on an empty stomach; however, it is important they take the pills so I bought some human liver pate over in the deli meat section and I give the a tiny treat to trick them...about the size of a ballpoint pen end and then I wrap the pill in just enough liver that they wolf it down and then I give them that tiny bit to follow up. I know it sounds crazy but I watched a vet on youtube show how and it worked. The first little bit programs them for the larger piece which only covers the pill...they wolf it right down. I know it is working because the 22lbs. liver was so high it wouldn't even register on the scale. Follow up last week the liver blood work showed a dramatic drop to well below 300. Hope that helps.

It probably doesn't matter. Foodstuff manufacturers who don't want to use potentially harmful chemicals as dessicants (this stuff could get lumpy unless it has some way to stay dry and free flowing), use marshmellow sometimes for this purpose (I'm only guessing this is their reason but it is done). This stuff is miraculous as it completely eliminated bladder stones for one of our dogs when surgery, "special" foods and medication was NOT working. I continue to use it to keep the dog's urine PH low/acidic to prevent them from coming back. Truly wonderful stuff and I've seen NO issues using it. It probably doesn't matter.

Hi Melissa, I did use it on my two pits when they where pups, just less of the amount! The vet said it was perfectly fine to do so!!

I did double the dose but it made my dog very sick for some reason. I tried this but did not like the way it affected my dog so I am going back to what I know works, Cosimin DS. It costs more but I KNOW it works.

Worked fine on my dog. I would recommend giving them a bath first then dosing them. This way you don't wash off the medicine. I have always dosed between the shoulder blades so they cannot lick or rub it off. Should last a couple months so eggs will hatch and kill the next generation as well. Just be sure you are not washing them for a week or so after... you have to let the medicine soak in...

Here you go, Barb... ACTIVE: Glucosamine HCL 600mg, Chondroitin Sulfate 300mg, MSM 250 mg, Absorbic Acid 30mg, Manganese 5mg. INACTIVE: Dicalcium Phosphate, Kaolin, Magnesium Stearate, Maltodextrins, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Natural Flavoring, Silica Aerogel, Stearic Acid, and Vegetable Oil. I've been giving this to my 11 1/2 year old shepherd mix since February, after paying through the nose for Rimadyl. She was having random 'crying fits' where she would just yelp and whimper for no reason. The vet said, physically, she was fine, but that she probably had some aches and whatnot in her joints - she's older and a big dog (60lbs). She's not had a single 'crying fit' since she's been on this stuff - over three full months now. So, it seems to work for me. :)

Yes it is fine to give both of them. We found that our 15 yr old Aussie/Beagle mix no longer needs the Rymadyl since taking the Phycox Max. She is hiking and acting like a puppy again without coming home sore. I can't recommend it enough!

I cannot quite understand your question, but Synflex helps my dog a lot. She is a 9 lb Yorkie that has arthritis. I wish I'd given it to her years ago as a preventative. The 8 oz. bottle lasts for over 3 months. Now she acts like the pain is gone.

I will give you some details about the Aero-Dawg that hopefully will give you wisdom about it working for your baby. I have a Chihuahua. Two different sized rubber mouthpieces are supplied. I find it difficult to make a seal around her lil snout. Her allergist and her pulmonary specialist have demonstrated it on her, and they didn't get a seal around her snout, either, but felt she was getting the medication sufficiently. My husband and I administer it together. One of us holds her, and the other holds the Aero-Dawg. I have used it on her by myself, when he's been away---so one person can administer it. Since there are two sizes of mouthpieces, you should be able to use it for a Doxie. I can't imagine how it works for a flat faced dog. I hope I've helped. Best wishes---we are former Doxie parents.

That is a GREAT question. I have no idea about the answer. I also have two dogs but do not train them at the same time. It would be bedlam. Maybe contacting the maker would give the answer you need. Good luck with your dogs. Shirley.

Keep in mind that non-prescription supplements are medication and we best serve our pets by learning all about them from a licensed veterinarian. Because supplements are not regulated for quality, it is good to talk with a vet when choosing a brand. This is the brand that my family vet sells, so it's probably not poor quality ingredients that made your dog throw up. And your dog's stomach upset may have had nothing to do with this medication. All good reasons to talk to your vet. There is no replacement for the peace of mind that she can provide. That said, my dogs absolutely love this brand and none have experienced adverse reactions.

To me and Rocky it definitely kills FLEAS, and everything else dealing with fleas,(!), I gave it to him with Alpo t-bone dog food, ( fancy it up to let them know everything is good,their good,and your going to make all better.) We don't have ticks where I live and I don't take him where ticks are bec of(underline) diseases. And he has short hair. He didn't have any problems with the medication, so I suggest using, however, TOTALLY WATCH ANIMAL FOR POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. With animal luv, Connie and Rocky Stephenson cm42013@gmail.com

OK, as far as I know, there is no yucca or papain in the PETZ LIFE product. (I was most disppointed when Solid Gold stopped carrying the Yucca. It was a great product.). It lists..distilled water, grain alcohol, peppermint oil, etc (see someone answered this). My first dog would not let me spray his mouth with it (had to use the gel). My second dog doesn't mind it, @ all. If I were making this product, myself, it is pretty much as i would formulate it. Any questions, you should call them. I talked to them on the phone, one time, and they were very friendly and helpful. 1-888-453-4682. OK, as far as I know, there is no yucca or papain in the PETZ LIFE product.
