Not good for my springer spaniel
By Grammy2009 on Feb 25, 2020
We started my precious dog on injections of Ichon. The injections did not help him but hurt him. He broke out in sores all over and lost his hair. We did not know if he was going to live or die. I wrote to the company and called them and they never responded. We went through series and series of drugs. Finally after a year, he is 90% cleared. Even though we cannot say 100% it was the Ichon, that was the only new product put into his body. Just be cautious.

This works even better than expected
By SunnyCat on Sep 23, 2019
I had previously used adequan on my cat. It worked, but it took a bit of time to see results. Then we ran out for a while, due to affordability issues. This time I got him Ichon instead, and not only is it easier to afford, it works just as well if not better. We're redoing the loading dose, and Sunny has up on his feet running around like he's 10 years younger since the first dose. It's amazing how fast it works! So happy I discovered it

Works well.
By Lindsey on Jun 12, 2019
I’ve been using this product for close to a year for my 14 year old TB Mare. She does have a small bit of arthritis and I was wanting to help keep her comfortable. I did notice way more improvement compared to a feed through, but not as much as adequan. The price is great compared to adequan.

Excellent product
By Anouchka on Mar 15, 2019
My vet recommended this for my dog. She was having mobility problems with her back and hips. She gets a series of the injections every 6 months, and then once a month as maintenance. She is like a new dog; runs and jumps like a puppy now.

Great medication
By Chris on Sep 29, 2018
Oh my gosh I just love this stuff. I started my 5 yro cat Lacey on on a couple of years ago when she seemed to chronic discomfort from a minor fore leg fracture. With in the first few days I saw improvement, and by the end of the first two weeks she was running around like a kitten again. I highly recommend this treatment over a pain med regimen.
