"My barrel horse gets worked really hard on occasion, and comes out a little stiff sometimes. I got him on this and he is doing great! I haven't seen ANY stiffness at all! I am very pleased with it! Price is fantastic too!"

"I added Devil's claw to my horses monthly regimen of Cosequin ASU, and Adequan...after about a month of Devil's Claw I noticed a big change in my horse's performance. I honestly think the DC is what made the difference!"

"Worked very well in complimenting Cosequin to help my horses' joints stay fit. I had no issues with palatability until I switched from Strategy healthy edge to Equidade. Now I have a full large size container and a horse that won't touch it. I would add it to homemade cookie treats but I am unsure how it would hold up to being cooked. darn."

"My 30 year old horse has been coming in limping on and off for the past year. After I started him on this product, he has not limped for months. It's really helping him with his arthritis."

"I switched to this from Smartpak Senior for my gelding. I LOVED Smartpak Senior, but, with the raise in prices and the fact he is retired, I just could no longer afford it. So far my gelding is staying spunky and sound with this stuff, so I can say it is helping him without breaking the bank. I have four other horses, so I have to be careful with my money, and since he is no longer my competition horse, this switch has worked great for him and for my pocketbook!"

"I switched a horse who had been receiving 20g of MSM a day for years with moderate success. He has arthritis in both hocks and a torn MCL in his left stifle. We use him in our therapeutic riding program and I felt he needed a little more help to be comfortable. We took him off the MSM and switched him to Devil's Claw Plus and noticed a difference in a few weeks. He is now much more comfortable and happier in his work and running around the pasture with the other horses. He has given so much to me over the years. It feels good to be able to do something for him so he can better be able to enjoy retirement."

"I've been using this on my mare who has been "off" for several years. She is now my son's walk trot horse, but this stuff seems to work great. I've noticed that she is much less stiff and sore on this supplement. while it isn't a cure, it sure helps to keep her a little more comfortable."

"after 6 months, it didn't work for my horse. A STB with clean xrays except for some arthritis in one stifle, and he has a hard time going down hill. after 1/2 hr ride really dragging. he is 17 so i'm going to try a senior supplement & see if that does better."

"What i love about devils claw is that it works for EVERYTHING...i have a 26 year old paint who's joints are starting to slow him down but putting devils claw in his feed keeps him running with the younger horses....my own horse (12 year old haflinger/paint) has bad reactions to vaccines and quick temperature changes but giving him devils claw before and during these events has kept him form colicing or having any signs of it at all....the horses will also just eat it without any grain if offered which is unheard of for any type of medication....some of the best stuff ever....we keep it in stock at the barn now."

"Gave this to my 27 year old arthritic mare. She is turning the clock backward! She tears around like a filly. It is wonderful to see her so comfortable, as she is a rescue I picked up for the grandkids and her previous life was pretty tough."

"My QH gelding was born with some structural problems and would probably be lame without this product. This is a great alternative to bute or banamine, with the caveat that, for my horse, it took approx. 3 weeks of consistent use before I really started seeing results. He is moving so much better, and is much more frisky and active. There is less swelling in his legs, and he's like a different horse. This is nothing short of a miracle. No problems with the taste, and I actually have gotten to like the way it smells!"

"I started using Devil's Claw about 6 yrs ago on a horse that i acquired that was basically crippled. He was on 3g of bute, isoprene, and multiple other drugs. After stripping him from all drugs other than Devil's Claw and a SmartFlex Sr the boy got back into the full swing of work and was pain free. I recommend this product to ANYONE and EVERYONE that has a horse using bute for any maintenance. This is WAY better!"

"My horse had what seemed to be a small muscular aches months ago, and to relieve any discomfort during the ongoing training, I put him on this product. Since I did a few other things to improve his condition, it is difficult how much exactly is from this product, but I feel very deeply that this product helps my horse. I cannot use this for the show, I don't think, and I have to re-check it, but I will definitely continue to use this product."

"When my horse was on bute for an injury, I noticed he started flying around his pasture and acting years younger. So I wanted to find a natural bute-alternative for every day use. This product seems to be doing the job, because he's had no arthritis or stiffness this winter! I also use Smart Combo too so it could be the combination of the two..."

"My gelding had clicking noises in both hocks and my mare has arthritic calcium bumps on her front feet and stiffness in the front end. I've been feeding Devil's Claw plus for over a month and the clicking noise has faded and the bumps are showing definite reduction in size while the mare has increased her front end action to the point I put her under saddle just this week. I am very pleased with the results thus far and hope this gives them both continued relief."
