Our 11 year old cat has arthritis for about 2 years. What remedies have you tried that work? Thank you!

Hi! Feeby (17+ yo) was diagnosed years ago with arthritis, due to a limp in one of her front paws. She was on Glyci Flex Plus for over 3 years before she tired of it - and remained limp free the entire time! It contains glucosamine, chondroitin, green lipped mussels, MSM & DMG, I suspect the green lipped mussels is what she decided she no longer liked! Nonetheless, I would highly recommend trying it and maybe your cat will never tire of the taste! They are big chews, so it is best to break/cut them into 4 or 5 pieces for easier eating.

Other more basic products are Cosequin and Dasuquin. There are a whole host of supplements you could look at - just do an internet search on 'arthritis supplements' for cats.

We use Cosequin and when the arthritis gets worse, we move to Dasuquin. We also have heated pet beds since heat helps the joints.
