It is really helping my Pitbull/French Bulldog mix’s hind legs. Significant improvement, nearly returned to normal

I really love the location of the distributor! I’ve always gone through Allivet but never liked how their location/ warehouse is in Florida and I’m in Northern NH. I don’t know maybe they transport in a cooled box but I have my doubts and don’t like to risk getting a product that’s been in extreme heat. Same reason I rather avoid any distributors from CA! So going through Equine vets in Kentucky just gives me peace of mind

My vet recommended it and I read up on it and decided this would work for my dog.
