At one time I had to give Rymadyl for pain but when I saw bloody stool that was the end of Rymadyl. I switched to the Pain Formula, knowing it was a holistic supplement. I read the ingredients and knew there was NOTHING that would have severe side effects . . . AND it works. I highly recommend the entire line of Winston's products. Any company that also produces human grade supplements needs to meet very specific requirements...that's what I want for my dogs. A product that works, no negative side effects, and natural. I would not sell Winston's products if I didn't believe in them...
