ARTHRIX^® Plus is a great tasting, nutritious supplement intended for the long term maintenance of joint health. It is designed to help older animals and those with joint injuries live a happier and pain-free life. ARTHRIX^® Plus stands out from other joint health products because it only contains branded, pharmaceutical grade ingredients. Our bioactive, low-molecular-weight chondroitin, OptiMSM^® - brand MSM, Ester-C^® - brand Vitamin C and OmniMin^® - brand minerals & trace elements mix, combined with high concentrations of cetyl myristoleate (a natural, long-chain fatty acid with powerful anti-inflammatory actions) and glucosamine HCl ensure maximum uptake and effectiveness.

 
ARTHRIX^® Plus for Dogs was specifically designed to improve the quality of life of geriatric mid- to large size dogs. ARTHRIX^® Plus is also beneficial for smaller dogs and cats suffering from old age stiffness, and those that have suffered traumatic joint injuries. The ingredients used in ARTHRIX^® Plus are of human grade purity and are commonly recommended by veterinarians. ARTHRIX^® Plus is not a drug, so offering it in conjunction with veterinary arthritis medications is no problem. ARTHRIX^® Plus is not a substitute for treatment, but a supportive means to assist with canine age-related pains and discomforts.

ABOUT ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSING: Emily Overholser (Falls Church, VA) wrote:
 
Hi! In December I signed up for the Automatic shipping option for Arthrix plus. I was to have a bottle delivered every three months. Unfortunately, my friend's dog got into my half-full bottle of Arthrix plus and ate 45 tablets worth, so I'm now out of it. Let me know what my options are. Thanks for your help!

We responded:
Could you tell us if your friend's dog showed any symptoms after eating 45 tablets? Sometimes they will have diarrhea for a day or two, or throw up. Did that happen? There should be no long-term adverse effects caused by this, though.

Emily replied:
Thanks for your quick response! The dog apparently did not show any adverse affects. He's about 60 lbs and ate (I would guess) around 30-45 tablets. I think they said he drank a little more water than usual and had to be let out during the night, but other than that I think he's fine (no diarrhea or vomiting). By the way, Arthrix Plus is GREAT! My dog has arthritis in one elbow that was threatening to end her agility career early (she's only 4), but since she's been on Arthrix Plus she hasn't shown any lameness. I've told several of my friends with dogs about it, and they're reporting equally great results. Thanks again! Emily

SHOULD I USE ARTHRIX^® PLUS INSTEAD OF ARTHRIX^®? This decision should be based largely on the condition of your dog and your personal situation. Please consider that most joint supplement products on the market combine only a few ingredients.  Compare that with ARTHRIX^® PLUS which has six major ingredients at high concentrations, all acting together to improve the condition of your pet! With all the varying ingredients and properties of the veterinary-strength ARTHRIX^® Plus you will see benefits even faster.

ARTHRIX^® PLUS contains 90 chewable treats. 

TESTIMONIALS

I have had our dog Timber on a glucosamine/ chondroitin supplement for about 4 months. It didn't seem to be helping him very much so I had to add Rimadyl to his daily routine just so he could get up. Because of the side effects of Rimadyl, I wanted to take him off and decided to order the Arthrix Plus for dogs. What caught my eye about this medication is that it contains larger doses of MSM, a natural anti-inflammatory. He has been on it for about a month and he now is able to stand easier and no longer has the paranoia of walking on concrete or walking up the stairs! It is great to see the medication working for him. Of course, he has been weaned off the Rimadyl which is twice as expensive as one bottle of the Arthrix Plus. So thank you for making a natural supplement that is giving our dog a less painful and much more mobile life! Yvonne Houser, Bend, Oregon

I purchased Arthrix Plus from Kala Health over the past several years for my Golden Retriever, Ranger. He passed on in April of this year at the ripe, old age of 16 years and 9 months. I am firmly convinced that Arthrix improved his quality of life immeasurably from the day he started taking it. He was still taking walks with me until the last several months of his life and though stiff in the joints, he didn’t seem to be experiencing any marked degree of pain. I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Kala Health when ordering Arthrix and I appreciate the refund I received when I returned unused bottles of Arthrix after Ranger’s death. Kala Health is a fine company and I won’t hesitate doing business with you again. Dick Hinson, CED, Aurora, CO

I just wanted to let you know that my service dog--a 7 1/2 yr old Siberian husky started to develop arthritis in the past year. Anyway, I had been giving here Dermatrix for about a year due to side effects [excessive dandruff] from being on the l/d medical/vet diet. I had excellent results with Dermatrix. I studied the various arthritis combos on the 'net' and finally decided to put Yukon on Arthrix Plus. Even after about 5 days of the loading dose I noted some improvement. Now just over 2 weeks later; Yukon is as spry as our 9 month old Siberian husky Juneau. Just wanted to let you know that both Dermatrix and Arthrix Plus have been invaluable additions to Yukon's healthcare repertoire. She is so happy in doing her job as service dog. She needs to be with me as much as I need her--yet I'd considered retiring her but knew it would devastate both of us. So Arthrix Plus is such a blessing and helps Yukon & I remain a team! Bless you all at KALA Health, Marge Mueller, Ellettsville, IN

I would like to offer the following testimonial for Arthrix Plus. We have two toy fox terriers and both were diagnosed with luxating patellas when they were still puppies. Lucy, the older dog, is three and was diagnosed as severe (level 3-4) in both legs. Molly is nine moths younger and is severe in one leg and medium in the other. It was really sad to see them hobbling along as their rear legs kept locking up. We took them to a specialist who recommended surgery. That option did not appeal to us so we started looking at herbal remedies. We also tried acupuncture to no avail. Finally, after trying products that claimed to be similar to yours we decided to try Arthrix Plus. After about two months of using Arthrix Plus I stopped seeing the rear leg lockups which had become a daily occurrence! It has now been about a year since we have seen a leg lockup. Our vet says they still have the patella problems but could not really explain legs no longer locking up. We have also been giving them twice the recommended dosage of the product and have really noticed an increase in their energy level as well. Thanks for making such a great product. Tom Sheets, Tijeras, NM

I have a 7 year old beagle that has some leg issues. After four trips to the vet, and considering surgery, we found your product on the internet. We did use some meds from the vet to get the initial swelling down for him (he has 2 bones in the paw area that rub due to a birth defect that we found out after some scans and x-rays) and our vet suggested that we find a product that would help rebuild the "gel" between those bones. Well, we have had him on your Arthrix Plus now for about 2 weeks. He's doing great, and looks like we might be avoiding surgery, and we are so happy about that. I wanted to share with you that we have a hard time giving him meds. We have tried it all, hiding it in everything from cheese to pudding. He either eats around it or spits pills out. To avoid him not wanting to take your product we actually chopped the bottle of pills up into powder, and now we give him 2 big tablespoons mixed in his food. It's not that he didn't like the taste, he just will NOT take pills. He's too smart! Maybe this tip will help others that have dogs like him. Thanks for putting out such a great product! My vet plans on referring others to your web page! Karen Gramm, Dillsburg, PA

Dear Sales Dept.  Thank you so much! Nikki, my 15 year old German Shepherd has benefited so much from taking Arthrix Plus. I ran out of it a couple days ago. So, just as a test I switched to giving her only MSM. What a difference! Now she is having difficulty walking at all. So this evening I ordered another larger bottle of Arthrix Plus through your web site.  I just want to report that the short term results of giving Arthrix Plus to my dog have been remarkable. A while ago, Nikki had lost all bowel control and was beginning to walk on the tops of her hind paws and collapsing. I thought I’d have to put her down. But, after researching on-line I found your wonderful dietary supplement for geriatric dogs. She is now walking for 30 minutes at a time and has bowel control again, and her appetite too. Even though the product literature claimed improvement within 2 weeks, she started walking again within 4 days. Andrea Bishop, Oakland, CA

This is a little outdated from last Xmas, but here are the "kids". I think Arthrix Plus has helped to prevent Nimkee (the furrier sister of Makoos) from having to have a hip replacement surgery this month We were contemplating doing a hip replacement when xrays showed that she has bone spurs and arthritis. Every time she got up she was in excruciating pain and hobbled to greet us. She's nearly all better now and I am dearly looking forward to our next batch. Thanks Wendy and everyone at KALA!
