My dog seemed to have a lot of trouble getting up from a down position, and as she is almost 8 years old, I figured it was due to a little arthritis. I decided to go with Arthogen. At first it took some tricks to get my dog to eat the pills-feed them with breakfast and dinner and put a little chicken broth on the meal, but now she eats them every time without the chicken broth addition. My dog seems a lot happier! She walks faster and seems more energetic on walks, and she is able to get up quicker as well. I'm glad I went with Arthogen because I know my dog feels better.
