VetriScience Laboratories’ Vetri-Disc combines bovine tracheal cartilage with amino acids, mineral sulfates, vitamins, pepsin, and natural silicon sources all necessary for the support and maintenance of connective tissue. Bovine tracheal cartilage is a rich source of chondroitin sulfates which make up the connective tissue matrix and are found in an especially high concentration in the spinal and invertebrate disc tissues.
Other nutrients like taurine and equisetum arvense are necessary for the synthesis of connective tissue, while minerals like calcium and magnesium support bone growth and maintenance. Zinc is necessary for tissue respiration and is also important in the body’s healing process. Amino acids like serine link the glycosaminoglycan structure to connective tissue proteins, and vitamins C and D support collagen production and calcium absorption, respectively.

VetriScience' products are manufactured in the United States. However, we source the raw material for our products from both inside and outside the United States. Our raw material suppliers acquire high quality ingredients from all over the world. Depending on our needs and current market supplies, a particular raw material may be from 1 country in 1 batch, and from another country in another batch. For our raw materials, we require a Certificate of Analysis, which documents the quality, purity, and potency. This qualifies each raw material before accepting it for production.Our parent company - FoodScience' Corporation - is certified to operate under current Good Manufacturing Processes (cGMP) protocols. Under these protocols, we require that each ingredient in a formula be supplied with the respective Certificate of Analysis. This means that the supplier is required to test the ingredient for contaminants, such as heavy metals, microorganisms, and other physical or chemical parameters unique to the ingredient, before the ingredient is shipped. Any raw materials that do not meet our specifications are sent back to the supplier. Upon receipt of a raw material, it is tested for potency and other parameters outlined in the ingredient's specification sheet. Test results are compared against the established specifications.
Please follow all dosing instructions stated on our packaging. VetriScience' calculates our dosing strength according to the animal's weight. Never increase dosing on a nutritional supplement without discussing it with your vet first.
Refrigeration of our products is not recommended due to the fact that refrigeration produces moisture, which can degrade nutrients, change smell, and reduce the shelf life on nutritional supplements. Please follow the storage instructions on our labels.
Most commercial pet foods include baseline vitamins and nutrients, but some may not have the adequate amount to suit your pet's exact health needs. Like in humans, vitamins and supplements can help support your pet's long-term health, regulating everything from digestion to muscle growth. Consult your veterinarian to determine the best vitamins and supplements for your furry friend.
It is recommended to give the suggested dosage based off your pet's weight. Please refer to the Feeding Instructions tab and consult with your veterinarian for more information.

Lower price than I’ve paid on other sites or at the vet’s office. Super speedy delivery!! Have used this on a few of my dogs and it truly works, definitely relieves pain.
I bought these for my dog as she is a little longer than typical and it was looking like she needed some back support. I’ve had her on it for about two weeks now and she already looks to have a better top line and she carries herself better. I pull the capsule apart and spread it on her food since she’s finicky about taking pills. The only concern is her stool has been a little looser and I’m not sure if this is what’s causing that. Hopefully her stomach adjusts.
My little corgi had his first bout of IVDD in 2017 and managed to not have another episode until Nov 2022 which ended up being worse than the one prior. Being older now, I was afraid he wouldn’t recover quite as quickly and would have more frequent episodes. Meds and crate rest had him back to somewhat normal, albeit a little slower. We were good until early March 2023 when he started showing signs of back pain again. I found these through my googling and bought them based on the amount of positive reviews. Within a few days of being on these, my little dude started moving and zooming like he was a pup again. I still try to keep his excitement contained so he doesn’t jump, twist and turn too much, but these supplements are a life saver. My boy will take these every day for the rest of his life.
Been using this product for over 10 years on a dog with IVDD. It works!
Have used this for several years. Like it.
My 13 year old Ridgeback Mix was diagnosed with Spondylosis, hip dysplasia, and osteoarthritis. He had been "tripping" (knuckling) with his front paws when trying to walk despite being on an NSAID. I was nervous about trying this because he has a history of uti's, crystals and stones (label says to use caution in dogs with this condition) but I'm glad I tried it. After a few weeks he has completely stopped the knuckling and seems more comfortable overall. He's 60lbs and has been doing well with a lower dose than suggested (to be careful with his previous urinary issues), just 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening because I also give 1 Cosequin in the morning. Great product!
I've read the reviews and had such high hopes. I received the bottle and even for my 50lb dog that pills are a hassle and hazard to swallow. I have to wrap them very well in his food so he can swallow it with his food, but that's not always the case. I also believe the pills was stuck in his throat at one point because he started drinking a lot of water immediately after I gave it to him inside of a pill pocket.
My dachshund has an IVVD incident in January 2021. I discovered VetriScience Disc Capsules and she had been taking 1 per day with no subsequent symptoms or problems
This supplement has been life changing for my 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! She went from not being able to step into her bed to now jumping in it! She can go on short walks again as this supplement helped with her arthritis and joint pain in literally ONE day! I want to be the spokesperson for this supplement!
I bought this because the reviews were great I was worried because my dog is a mini poodle mix and people says they pill was huge I tried everything for him to eat it peanut butter cheese cream cheese mixing Aldo wrap in cheese or a pill treat nothing work I fishnet tried open the pill putting it in cottage cheese bingo finally work so I highly recommend if you have a little dog try moving it w cottage cheese I hope after hrs been on it for awhile it works for him
