Our Success Stories
My 4 year old dachshund started showing signs of back problems and I was terrified. A friend told me about green lipped mussels and I thought why not try it before it got worse. After about 3 weeks she stopped doing that arched back thing and seems much more comfortable. She actually wants to play again instead of just lying around. I mix the powder into her wet food and she doesn't even notice it's there.
Our corgi started limping after playing in the yard and it scared me so much. The vet said it was inflammation in her joints and recommended rest plus an anti inflammatory. I didn't want to keep giving her pills long term so I researched natural options. The green lipped mussel powder has been amazing. She's back to her crazy zoomie self and no more limping. I just sprinkle it on her breakfast every morning.
My dachshund had an IVDD episode last year and it was the most terrifying thing I've ever been through. He recovered with crate rest thank god but the vet said he's at high risk for it happening again. I've been giving him this powder every single day since then and also got ramps for everything. He's been doing great for over a year now. I truly believe this supplement is helping protect his spine. I will never stop giving it to him.
My 11 year old lab mix has arthritis in her hips and the vet had her on prescription pain meds. They helped but she seemed really drowsy all the time and I worried about side effects. I asked the vet about natural alternatives and he mentioned glucosamine and also green lipped mussel. I switched her to this powder and after about 6 weeks she was doing just as well as on the prescription but without the drowsiness. She's been on it for almost a year now and still going strong.
Our dachshund is 13 years old and honestly I thought we were going to lose him. He couldn't use his back legs at all one morning and we rushed him to the emergency vet. They said it was IVDD and gave us the option of surgery or crate rest. We couldn't afford the surgery so we did strict crate rest for 8 weeks. It was brutal. He recovered but was still really stiff and slow. I found this supplement and started giving it to him along with some other things. After a few months he was actually running around the backyard again. He's like a different dog. I'm so grateful we found something that helps.
My corgi started having trouble with stairs around age 7. She'd hesitate at the bottom and sometimes her back legs would shake when she climbed up. I got her ramps but also wanted to do something more. A friend with a dachshund recommended this powder. It took about a month but I noticed she stopped hesitating at the stairs. She still uses the ramps most of the time but when she does take the stairs she moves so much better. Really glad I tried this.
My dachshund is only 3 years old but I know the statistics and it terrifies me. One in four dachshunds will have IVDD. I don't want to just sit around waiting for it to happen. I started her on this powder as soon as she turned one. She's healthy and active and I want to keep it that way. I also got pet insurance and follow all the rules about no jumping. I feel like I'm doing everything I can to prevent the worst from happening. This supplement is part of my daily routine just like feeding her breakfast.
Our 8 year old German Shepherd started limping on her front leg. The vet did x rays and said she has arthritis developing. She's not even that old and I was so sad thinking about her being in pain. The vet recommended joint supplements and said green lipped mussel was a good option. She's been taking it for about 3 months now and the limping is completely gone. She runs and plays like normal. I'm going to keep her on this for the rest of her life.
I have a 12 year old cocker spaniel who was really struggling with mobility. She'd yelp when we picked her up and you could tell her back was bothering her. I was worried it was her discs because I know spaniels can have those problems. Started her on this powder and within about 2 weeks she stopped yelping. After a month she was back to her normal self. She's been on it for 6 months now and still doing great. So relieved we found something that helps her.
My 14 year old miniature dachshund is still going strong and I credit this supplement as part of the reason why. He's been on it for probably 5 or 6 years now. He has slowed down with age obviously but he's never had any major back problems or mobility issues. He still does his little dachshund run when he's excited. I recommend this to everyone I meet who has a dachshund. Starting early and staying consistent with it is so important.
We have a French Bulldog who is only 2 years old but the vet said we should start prevention now because of his breed. I was skeptical that a supplement could actually help but my husband insisted we try it. It's been 6 months now and our boy is so active and happy. I don't know if we would have seen problems by now or not, but I feel so much better knowing we're doing something proactive. Worth every penny for the peace of mind alone.
I have a 9 year old beagle mix and he was really slowing down. Trouble getting up from his bed, didn't want to go on walks anymore, just seemed stiff and uncomfortable all the time. My daughter suggested trying this and honestly I didn't think it would do much. But after about a month I noticed he was getting up easier and actually wagging his tail when I grabbed the leash. He's not a puppy again but he's definitely happier and moving better.
We just adopted a 6 month old dachshund puppy and I joined all the Facebook groups to learn about the breed. Everyone talks about back problems and IVDD and it freaked me out. I read that disc degeneration actually starts really young so I wanted to start prevention right away. She's been on this since we got her and she's now 18 months old with zero issues. Obviously I can't know if she would have had problems anyway but I feel like I'm giving her the best chance possible.
I have a 5 year old French Bulldog and a 3 year old corgi. Both breeds are prone to back and joint problems so I started them both on this as a preventive measure. They both love it mixed into their food. I have no idea if it's working since they don't have symptoms but that's kind of the point right? I'd rather spend money on prevention than deal with surgery later. My vet said it was a smart idea.
I was giving my dog glucosamine chondroitin tablets for a while but she hated them and I had to hide them in peanut butter. Even then she'd sometimes eat around them. I switched to this powder because I could just mix it into her food and she can't even tell it's there. And honestly I think it works better than the tablets did. She's moving around so much easier now. Her back legs used to kind of splay out when she stood up and she doesn't do that anymore.
We have a 10 year old basset hound who was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. The vet said surgery wasn't recommended at his age and to just keep him comfortable. I felt so helpless just watching him struggle. I did a ton of research on natural anti inflammatories and kept seeing green lipped mussel come up. Started giving it to him about 4 months ago and he's doing so much better. He actually wants to go outside and sniff around instead of just laying on his bed all day. It's given us more quality time with him.
I was spending so much money on different supplements for my senior dog. Glucosamine, fish oil, turmeric, probiotics. It was like $100 a month and such a pain to give him all these different things. I found out green lipped mussel has a lot of those benefits in one ingredient so I switched to just this powder. It's way more affordable and so much easier. Just one scoop on his dinner. And he's doing just as well if not better than when he was on all those separate supplements.
My dachshund had IVDD surgery 2 years ago and it cost us $8000. He recovered really well but I live in constant fear of it happening again. The surgeon said recurrence is common especially in dachshunds. I've been giving him this powder every day since his surgery along with keeping him at a healthy weight and using ramps. He's been doing amazing. No signs of problems at all. I truly think this supplement is part of why he's stayed healthy. I will never take the chance of running out.
We got a corgi puppy and everyone warned us about their backs. Long body, short legs, prone to disc problems. I wanted to start prevention early. She's been on this since she was 6 months old and she's now 4 years old with zero issues. She's crazy active and loves to run and play. I don't know if she would have had problems without it but I'm not taking that chance. It's such an easy thing to do every day and if it's helping protect her spine then it's worth every penny.
Our French Bulldog started dragging his back paws a little bit and it absolutely terrified me. We took him to a neurologist who said it was very mild IVDD and we caught it early. They recommended strict rest and anti inflammatories. I also started researching supplements and found out about green lipped mussel. He's been on it for about 8 months now along with all the lifestyle changes like ramps and no jumping. He's back to normal and the neurologist was really happy with his progress at his last checkup. I'm going to keep him on this forever. The idea of him being paralyzed is my worst nightmare and I'll do anything to prevent that.
