Hollis Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Longevity vs Fresh Factors. I think I'm reading that the Longevity has fresh factors in it? Am I correct? Is one better over the other? Norm is slowing down. Big time. To the point I'm not sure he can handle Dewey. His back legs just don't cooperate with him any more. He's been tripping a lot. Any advice/ideas you can give me would be very appreciated. Thanks. Quote My sweet angel Tanner-"Showoffs Magic" 79D-82695. DOB 7/22/99. Gotcha Day 6/20/05. Bridge Day 3/11/10.

Burpdog Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Do Joint Health instead (as long as you are not using pred) Quite a few people have had their "kids" not want to eat it. You can also do FF in the morning and JH in the evening. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollis Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why Diane? Norm is deramaxx and tramadol. Why is Joint Health better then Longevity?

Guest SueG201 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 My grey was always on FF starting at age 5, I started her on the joint formula this year and she would not eat it, at this point being she is almost 14 I have her on Novox for pain mgmt, but I feel I kept her going a lot longer by giving the joint supps so early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollis Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ordered the fresh factors and the joint health yesterday. It's a combo pack. Two ff 60 count get two jh 60 count free. Can't beat that with a stick! So now I need a little tutoring. Norm is, or at least was, 80lbs. I suspect he's lost a couple. He is on deramaxx 50 mg a day. I break it up to 1/4 pill in am and 1/4 in pm. He also gets a tramadol at each meal. Should I change anything? How is the springtime best added in to this routine? I'm hoping that this truly makes a difference in the next 4 weeks. I'm truly worried about taking him to Dewey. Quote My sweet angel Tanner-"Showoffs Magic" 79D-82695. DOB 7/22/99.

My guys wouldn't touch the stuff when they came out with the new formula so now they have both. I think the Joint Health Advanced has the Boswilla in it.

I got the advanced recently with the Boswilla. My pups will not touch it either. I end up cutting each tablet into 4 pieces and burying them in Jiff peanut butter. Most days Kare Bear is onto me, and Tessie gets Kareys dose instead of hers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burpdog Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 They are a very good company to work with. My guys wouldn't eat the new ones either and since then I went to Fresh Factors only.
