    When I dose powders I will often mash it into a TINY pat of butter and then smear that on the cat's mouth so they lick it off. The powder that FF has linked to is a VERY good price for a pure product.

    Try SerraEnzyme I have given them to my 3 elderly dogs who all have arthritis all 3 have had amazing improvement.
    You can buy them online also try glucosamine and vitamin C also works well.

    DMs been using it for her dog but suitable for cats too - would last for ages!

    Was this not any good GR? Would work out really cheap for a cat & good quality stuff

    Considering a bottle would last 275 days yet has to be discarded 73 days after opening, how does this work out any cheaper unless treating a multi-cat household? ;)

    See your point but as GR has 3 others cats, I'm sure a couple of doses / week for the healthy ones would help ensure their joints stay that way ;)

    I'm also rather sceptical that it would have to be thrown out after exactly 73 days and would more than likely continue to use it myself ;)

    Well, I do not work with animals' healthcare but.. in NHS.
    I am very particular about ANY medication/suplement use by date so no, would not use after the "73 days" guidance from opening.....

    But.. Zara could have it too so maybe not a bad idea...with a big bottle?
