I have a bordeaux who is now 10,3 yrs ago her hip went. Out the blue she was in excruciating pain it was heart breaking I thought my dog can't cope with this pain. The painkiller off the vets wasn't touching it. She couldn't get up 1 stair and sleeps on my bed so I had to stay downstairs with her she couldn't find a position that eased her pain, she never slept for 3 days she just stood panting it was so bad. Then I remembered Boron which I take myself daily and gave her 10 mg Boron caps daily to begin with and it was a miraculous result within 2wks she was in less pain and it got better every day. You still couldn't touch her back without a yelp but wow I was amazed.
That was 3yrs ago and she is 10 now, still sleeps on my bed every night jumps up. She has no problem touching her hips no pain and she will run round chasing squirrel's anytime. I was so amazed at how effective it is I saw it."

"Can you possibly tell me if you have increased the dose? In your post you said you gave 10 mg to begin with so I’m wondering if you decided to increase it at some point. If you did increase it, what did you increase the dosage to?"Posted By Terri (Wyoming) on 03/23/2025
"I am wondering if you ever started your dog on borax and if you did, what exactly you used and what dosage you used. And I’m also curious what effect it had on your pet."Posted By Wanda (Spring, Texas) on 03/26/2025
"Give your dog alfalfa tablets or capsules. 3 for a big dog, 1 for small. It helps tremendously with arthritis in dogs! I've helped many a German shepherd to walk and run and jump again!"
