Seems to have helped his calcified disk. Not likely, I give my 20 lb. dachshund 1/2 of a 500 mg. tablet every night – my vet says that’s safe, any excess is just excreted in his urine.

The stuff is completely safe cos anything not used by the dog goes right thru. You can help him further by applying a heating pasd to the affected joints for about 5 minutes and follow it with a 15 minute massage 3x a day.And break up exercise sessions so the dog gets just as much per day but not all at once. Also you'll really notice a huge difference if you keep him off concrete. It's really hard on his joints.
