Pet Products Review - Easy Walk Harness and Leash by 1-800PetMeds

One fo the hardest parts of being a pet parent is seeing your pet age.  Almost certainly this will include arthritis and joint pain.  These ailments strike most cats and dogs somewhere areound the age of five.  The inflamation and pain is horrible.  Although there are many drugs available, many are powerful steroids.  I simply do not know enough about vet approved remedies to make a recommendation.  So I do try and find products that are simple, natural and may help arthritis and joint pain relief.  Some of these may be vitamins, salmon or omega 3 oil, but today, I am recommending the Easy Walk Harness and Leash by 1-800 PetMeds.

1-800 Pet Meds does sell top brand pet pharmacueticals, but also has many products to improve the health of your pet.  The harness is something you can use with your pet for a lifetime.  Some points on the harness:

The Easy Walk Harness is designed to gently discourage your dog from pulling while walking on a leash. Should you choose to run or jog with your dog, please be mindful of the possibility of chafing and discontinue use at the first sign of discomfort.
It is not recommended to use the Easy Walk Harness with a retractable leash. The Easy Walk Harness does, however, come with a leash that is great for training.
You may need to remove the Easy Walk Harness to make adjustments during fitting. Also, dogs may "tense up" during fitting, so check the fit again after the dog has walked in the harness for a few minutes. Check the fit regularly, especially on growing dogs.

Examine the harness for signs of chewing, fraying, or damage.

The price is certainly right at only $29.99 for a large dog.  I do suggest checking it out on 1-800PetMeds.

Pet Products Review - Nutra-9 Joint Care Management.

If you have a dog, any dog, any breed, what is probably the most important health concern:  Joint Pain.

With that I contacted several companies that offer healthy and herbal alternatives to animal pharma companies for product samples.  Funny, I guess most of these companies don't care what our general public thinks about their recommendations.  But, the very smart people at Nutra-9 did.  Not only did they send me a sample, they sent me enough of a sample so that we could adequately due a test and assess the results.

Nutra-9 set out to find a herbal remeedy for joint care that was absolutely the world's most affective at alleviating joint care for dogs with joint deterioration such as Arthritis.  What they saw is that most products simply were vitamins that contained glucosamine.  Not Nutra-9, there is no glucosamine in any of their products.  Their premier product is called VG750.

But let's look at what our panelist Ryan had to say:

"Secret Shopper asked me to do a product review of Nutra-9, so here it is, sorry it took a little longer than expected.  
My parents have a 14 y/o lab/husky, who basically spent his entire life wandering around my parents’ lawn – no matter how hot, cold, wet, etc., he really like to be outside.   But, all those years took a toll on this joints and he now has arthritis, and it is especially bad in the front right leg.  I asked my parents to try Nutra-9 to see if would make any difference in his mobility, and I’m happy to hear that he is much more active that what he was 8-10 weeks ago.  Even though he is still an old dog and will not be as active as he once was, he now enjoys wandering around my parents yard and spending more time exploring, even though it is freezing in Wisconsin.  Thanks for providing the product.  It has been a big help to my parents's dog."

Well i think the above was a great testimonial.  Do buy Nutra-9 and try it.  Go directly to their website at www.nutra-9.com.  The price is $25 per bottle.  But if you buy more than 3 bottles, the price goes down to $19/bottle. 

If you've got a product that you think will pass the Secret Shopper test, send an email to SecretShopperTest@gmail.com
