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.
