My 12 year old cocker spaniel started getting stiff and limping in July 21, so since using devils claws she has become so mobile again she never gets stiff anymore after been curled up cosy, doesn’t limp either! Still enjoys her walks like she’s a young pup, I’d highly recommend this product as it’s definitely working for my dog and the bottle seems to last forever! Such a bargain for a great product!

I used this for a few days after my dog was stiff after a day's gundog work. Was recommended to try it by a friend and it helped. Use a day or so before working and a day or two after if needed

Have always used this product on my older dogs once they start to get stiff and jace found it always works. Would recommend to anyone with an older dog with mobility issues

My 15 year old cat went lame and she has always had some discomfort jumping from heights but she is very good at detecting and rejecting additives on her food, so I was apprehensive about trying her on this despite having taken DC myself in the past and knowing how effective it can be (I was able to quit opiates for back pain with DC and osteopathy). I was always told the liquid form had a bitter taste but I can't taste it and apparently neither can my cat. I'm halfway through our first bottle and this morning she jumped down from about 3 and a half feet height quite happily. She accepts it and it's working for her.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Blooming Pets Devils Claw Liquid for Dogs & Cats, including answers from our team.
Andrew Howarth
Hi my 13 year old dog is currently taking Inflacam can i also give her Devils Claw for her pain relief?.
Devils claw is a herbal product that has anecdotal anti-inflammatory properties that may work similarly to NSAID medications like Inflacam. Therefore we usually do not advise using drugs like this together with Devils claw as it is unknown as to whether they will interact with each other.

I already use your GWF Joint Aid for my 11 year old boxer , can I also start giving him a dose of Devils Jaw, he is getting really stiff.
Is it safe to use this Devils Jaw on an older dog.
Thank you
Yes Devils Claw can be used alongside GWF Joint Aid. It has anecdotal anti-inflammatory effects, if your dog is on any medication then it is worth checking with your vet whether it is safe to start this too. It is unknown whether the anti-inflammatory effects will interfere with other anti-inflammatory medications.

my 13yr old dog is on previcox can i also add devils claw liquid to his food.
Devils claw is a herbal product that has anti-inflammatory properties that may work similarly to NSAID medications like Previcox. Therefore we usually do not advise using drugs like this together with Devils claw as it is unknown as to whether they will interact with each other.
If your pet has arthritis or joint disease then a joint supplement is a great idea instead of Devils claw, like Joint Force.

Our 1 y.o. pup has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and will at some point require an operation to "fix" the joint. Until that time (he is deemed too young at the moment) he gets a good quality MSM/Glucosamine tablet daily but with the damp weather he is suffering more. Rather than give him prescribed medication, can we use Devils Claw?
Many thanks
Devils claw does have anti-inflammatory properties, like an NSAID does, but it will not be as potent or as effective as a prescription NSAID drug. I recommend continuing the NSAID if you can. However if you cannot then it is worth trying Devils Claw.
I also advise checking out our own brand Joint Force for a joint supplement. It contains multiple ingredients, not just MSM and Glucosamine, that will help support the joint.

My cat has arthritis and DJD and is currently prescribed Onsior, is this product safe to be used in conjunction with the Onsior?
Probably is the short answer, but combining herbal and licensed pharmaceutical products cannot always be regarded as perfectly safe. Opinions vary as to how much of an anti-inflammatory effect Devil's Claw can provide. Generally it is not safe to mix products with this sort of effect together. However Devil's Claw is often used with the so called NSAID products like Onsior and as far as I am aware, it is normally safe. You could try it but give the Devil's Claw in a low dose to start off with and gradually build it up. If your cat shows any signs of vomiting or diarrhoea, then it would be best to stop both medications and see your vet. This always applies with Onsior anyway, even on its own. (Usually it is very safe, but occasionally not.)

I am looking st this product for my 15 year old cat who is now very stiff. What is the recommended dosage and frequency and, in your experience, do cats tolerate this when mixed with a treat or is it best syringed into mouth? (My cat only eats dried food now, doesn't tolerate 'wet' cat food.)
Hello,
The recommended dosage for a cat (& small dogs) is as follows:
Dosage (by dogs/cats weight):
Less than 7.5kg :1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) once per day
This product can be administered either way, but the easiest for you (and your cat) may be to try and disguise it in a soft treat or some pate/tuna etc. If this fails, you can try and syringe it manually into your cats mouth if he/she will tolerate this.
If you don't manage to administer this product with ease, there are palatable tablet versions which are worth trying as an alternative.
L Clifford
Does this liquid have to be mixed with food or can it be syringed into mouth?
It can be given directly into the mouth but should be given just before or after food, so that there is food in the stomach at the same time.
