I have used it for my Marlin for over a year. VERY happy with the results.

Initially you do shots close together but after the start up, it is once per month. I can always tell when the time is coming due as he grumbles about doing stairs, asks for help to jump on the sofa, and limps on our longer walks (about 2 miles).

You can do these yourself! Ask the vet for a prescription, and order on line from Entirely Pets.

My Marlin takes .4 ML per shot. So one vial is 12 shots. My vet charges $40 per office visit and no, I couldn't get them to let a vet tech give the shot at a lower cost, I was still going to have to pay for an office visit! The vial is about $65 -- QUITE a savings over the course of one year, let alone the dog's life!

My vet gives me the 12 syringes free. Of course with my crew of 14 plus the 8 or 9 who've gone to RB before this, I would expect SOME help from my vet!

Be sure you get the CANINE Adequan when you order. It also come for horses. LOL

Oh and have someone - vet, vet tech - show you HOW to give the shot. You don't want to hit a nerve and do more damage. I mark my calendar and alternate sides monthly.

My Marlin is also getting gluscosamine and chondroitin in pill form, daily. This also seems to help him. I buy the Joint Care 3 (samll breed) from Drs. Foster & Smith.

Good luck!
