Customer Reviews of American Biosciences DGP (Dog Gone Pain) Flexibility For Dogs 60 TabletsCustomer Review: A disappointment
This product was brought to my attention by a friend who had seen the glowing online reviews and information on the distributor's website. I have a 10 yr old male border collie cross with a severely arthritic left hock due to an old traumatic injury sustained 5 years ago. The joint is permanently unstable because the colateral ligaments were torn, hence the secondary arthritis, and we're trying to put off ankylosis (fusion) of the joint as long as possible. He is usually 2-3/10 lame intermittently, but copes well and runs happily most of the time. However, when the cold damp winter weather set in, he got a lot worse, and was clearly much more uncomfortable, probably 6-7/10 lame. He is already on the maximum safe dose of meloxicam (a conventional NSAID) that he can have, and has been for about three years. (Note: he has a full blood profile to monitor his liver and other organ function every six months and all his values have been within normal limits). So we decided to try DGP to see if it would help at all. Well, unfortunately, he has been on the daily dose for his bodyweight for a month (I'm not one for snap judgements) and there has been no improvement whatsoever. I would have been happy with even a tiny apparent increase in flexibility or comfort, but none has been visible. Fortunately there have been no side effects either. Please bear in mind that my experience is no more or less valuable than any of the other anecdotes you will read, but I personally am disappointed - I was hoping against my better judgement that DGP would help my dog. I am left with a couple of questions: If this stuff is so good, why isn't the "secret prorietary blend of herbs" patented and listed? Conventional medicine datasheets even show the structure of the molecule in question, because there is no need for secrecy. Secondly, if the manufacturer is so confident in their product, why haven't they taken it to veterinary schools and put it through rigorous, double-blind trials? The so-called trial described in the literature supplied by the distributor is a joke from any scientist's perspective, and would only reassure someone without a college science background. So good luck, folks; try it anyway, but just be aware that it might not be the miracle you're looking for. Oh, and by the way - I am a practicing veterinarian, who routinely uses complimentary as well as conventional therapies.
