Hi, I have used this product "vetionix " on my 5 yo that has genetically low cart liege, in her hips almost non, and was paralyzed already from pain, it helps naturally with movements and discomfort it is not a pain killer so i had to get pain killer as well but then i got her on prescription food : http://www.chewy.com/cat/hills-prescription-diet-jd-feline/dp/54763?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=f&utm_content=Hill%27s%20Prescription%20Diet&utm_term=&gclid=CMvKsMDCxcECFWqCMgodPG4AVA
it is prescription and sometimes it is hard to switch for cats they have dry as well and so fare for an 8 months now Carrera had no more pain attacks but i do give her this Vetionix for a week every 6 weeks. it works for her can not guarantee would work for other. Hoping that this information is a little helpful for you.
