If administering this product multiple times a day is difficult in practice, once a day or once every two days is sufficient. In that case, administer the maximum daily dose. This product is still effective, but the response may take a little longer.
If there is improvement, you can switch to a maintenance dose. This is usually half the dosage indicated on the packaging. When dosing this product, carefully monitor your animal's reaction. A higher dosage may be necessary initially; this product can be safely administered at double the recommended dose. If there is improvement, gradually reduce the dosage to the lowest possible dose.
With some dilutions and extracts, a brief worsening may occur at the start of treatment. This means the animal is reacting to the product. In the event of a significant increase, halve the dosage or temporarily stop and then gradually increase the dosage.
Administration
Administer this product directly into the mouth using a plastic syringe, diluted with a little water if necessary. Preferably not with a meal, as the product is more effective when absorbed by the clean oral mucosa.
If an animal does not like the product, the drops can be given on a small piece of treat.
If your cat refuses the drops, place them on a warm spoon and let the alcohol evaporate. Then, dilute them with a little water using a syringe and administer directly into the mouth. You can also apply the drops to the back of your cat's paw; make sure your cat licks the drops off.
Regarding exercise, it's generally wise to walk your dog frequently. Straight-line movements, walking and trotting, are particularly good for keeping the joints supple, and swimming is also very beneficial. Abrupt stops and quick turns, such as those occurring while playing with other animals or throwing sticks and balls (in dogs), should be avoided. These put too much strain on the joints.
Duration of treatment
In an acute situation, the duration of treatment is relatively short. This can range from a few days to three weeks. Continue administering this product for a few more days if there is improvement.
For long-term discomfort, the effect is usually visible after 1 to 3 weeks. If there is improvement, you can switch to a maintenance dose. This is usually half the dosage indicated on the packaging. When dosing this product, carefully monitor your animal's reaction.
This product can be administered continuously. It is recommended to have a week off every 6 to 8 weeks. This way, the "stimulant" can be offered again after the week off. Resume treatment immediately if necessary.
