Vet Review

As a holistic oriented veterinarian I am always welcoming natural products and alternatives to chemicals and prescription drugs. Over the past several years I have found Duralactin for dogs to be a very versatile product useful in a lot of clinical situations. That patented dried milk protein concentrate is believed to help manage inflammatory conditions long term, and I have found that this product will often effectively reduce the need for cortisone or non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs that may have side effects in dogs. I often find this all natural product increases normal activity and wellness and I have used it in chronic inflammatory conditions of the skin, respiratory and digestive tract in both dogs and cats. I have seen no side effects when using this product in dogs and give the product an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5. As I mentioned under my product review for Duralactin for dogs, Duralactin for cats is wonderful nondrug alternative choice for treating various inflammatory conditions of the skin, respiratory and digestive tract. In many cases I may often use this product as an alternative to cortisone and non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs for these conditions in our cats, which will often cut down on unwanted side effects. The patented dried milk protein concentrate is the main effective ingredient. Some cats may be sensitive to milk proteins and/or carbohydrates. If vomiting or diarrhea occurs, the product should be discontinued due to a likely allergic reaction. Because of the versatility of this product for so many feline conditions, I give this product an overall rating of 4.5 out of 5.

Over the past several years there have been increased numbers of glucosamine/MSM/devil's claw combination products on the market place, and searching the various products out there, it is often difficult for animal guardians to choose between the formulations. I have personally used this product in veterinary practice for many years and have found its manufacturer to be a trustworthy and reliable supplier of supplements to both client and veterinarian. I have also found this product quite helpful as part of a comprehensive preventative approach for arthritis and stiffness in middle age and geriatric pets. It may provide symptomatic relief in pets already suffering from mild to moderate arthritis and stiffness, however once these conditions reach the moderate to advanced stages, the Flexadin Plus will not be nearly as effective or helpful, and in most cases, prescription medications will be needed to help with symptom relief. It does come in a very palatable formulation readily acceptable by most pets, and does provide an economic alternative to some of the other more expensive products of its kind. I give this product an overall rating of a 4.
