Hi, I am looking to give my dog some supplements. He has Cushing's disease and is starting to struggle to get around; he's limping and can no longer get onto the sofa by himself. I've heard about the drops from Pawtox and would love to hear your feedback. Thanks a lot!

I’m not sure about its effectiveness yet, as it’s too early to tell: two weeks in, and there’s a slight improvement.
On the other hand, they use predatory subscription tactics every few weeks, and it’s impossible to cancel the deliveries despite my requests (the sales site is in English). Deliveries are handled by obscure couriers; the first delivery involved a Chinese website asking for my address and making other dodgy requests over the phone without even knowing which product was being delivered. I refused, so I didn't get the delivery, but the payment was still taken. Avoid this product and website.
My dog is subscribed to Dogsuppy's Hip and Joints chews, after his surgery, introduced this along with a well-balanced diet, and has helped with his limping especially with his mobility, we saw massive improvements at his 6th week of consumption. My dog is 8 yrs old btw.
Hi there,
Before adding any supplements, I’d suggest having your vet re-evaluate the limp. In a dog with Cushing’s disease, mobility issues can have several causes (such as arthritis, muscle wastage linked to the condition, or orthopaedic or neurological problems...), and it’s important to identify the root cause.
Regarding the "Pawtox" drops, I’m not aware of any robust scientific studies proving their effectiveness in improving mobility or their application for Cushing's syndrome. While testimonials can be interesting, they aren't a substitute for proven efficacy.
If the limping is related to arthritis, your vet will be able to recommend proven treatments, potentially combined with certain supplements (like omega-3 fatty acids), depending on your dog's general health and current medication.
All the best,
Inès
