I have known devil's claw work well with horses but I bought this for my retriever who was cleaning and licking at her joints I have not seen any real difference in my dogs behaviour or general well-being but feel this may well be just to the fact that her case was quite advanced having not had a good start in life perhaps with another dog the improvement would be more noticeable

I didn’t think that my fussy cat would like this in her food but she does and she seems to be a lot better in her movement.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Blooming Pets Devils Claw Liquid for Dogs & Cats, including answers from our team.
Texel Stafford
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.
