| Hi!
Does anyone have experience of/views on supplementing their more senior Saint on Devil's Claw to alleviate stiffness due to arthritis/old age/wear-and-tear?
I'm having to think laterally about Han as he also has renal issues. From my digging around, it seems that Devil's Claw doesn't have a significant phosphorus level - which is what I need to watch out for! Any views/opinions/first-hand experience feedback more than welcome!!
Thanks - and come on you herbalists out there...!!!

| Hi a friend of mine used caniflex on her dog, think it's from animal health? It's a liquid like devils claw, sure you give 30ml daily, and I'm pretty sure it has devils claw along with other stuff in, she said it worked wonders hope that helps | |

| Devi;s claw is a natural anti inflammatory.
When I wanted some i looked all over the place for the dog variety & could only find tablets. I wanted liquid as it gets into the system quicker. It does have to build up in the system, its not as a dose of metacam for example but I have found it very effective. The kind I found in the end & stuck with is the equine version, called NoBute. If you Google it you get a whole list of horsey sites come up wher you can buy it.
For Saint owners its great as it comes in 500ml, 1 litre & 5ltr bottles. Anything smaller than that doesn't last.
I swear by this stuff & personally have never found any side effects & haven't heard of any | |

| Thanks very much for your feedback - I'm encouraged by your positive experiences of The Claw!
Just for your info, Wendals Herbs do offer a canine liquid DC formulation as well as an equine one - the only difference being in the size of the bottle, as far as I have been able to discover!
I notice that the liquid formulation appears to be suspended in alcohol - do you have a view on this?
I also found quite a variety of both liquids, granules etc for the equine market at my local equine supplier.
