I won’t lie, I definitely take better care of my dog’s health than I do my own. I want to ensure that he lives as long and as comfortably as possible so I don’t mind spending a little more money on his vitamins and minerals. However, I’ve neglected my aging body for so long that my knees sound like rusty hinges every time I bend down to pet him. I figured fuck it, I already dropped $90 for his fancy joint supplements so I might as well partake and save myself a trip to Walgreens.
I believe I need to have a word with the manufacturer because overall I’m in ten times more pain than I was before I ate this entire bag of doggie joint meds.
With all these vitamins and miracle cures on the market, you’d think at least one or two of them would be safe for dog and human use. I assumed all bones and joints are pretty much the same across the animal kingdom, at least according to the two medical sites I found on page 12 of my Google search.
Taking animal meds like ivermectin is dumb and dangerous, I get that. But this is different because I’m bigger than a dog but smaller than a horse, so I figured there’s no way eating this whole bag would have me writhing on the floor. They’re practically advertised as cookies! As soon as I regain my strength I’m going to send them a strongly worded comment on their Instagram page. Anyone want to go halfsies on a class action lawsuit?
I cannot be the only one who has fallen for this. The ingredients kinda looking like normal supplements in that they’re all big words, but I couldn’t be fucked to look up them because science is for dorks. They should’ve specified somewhere on the packaging that non-canine consumption would lead to internal bleeding.
All this because I didn’t want to pay more money for some bullshit like fish oil and have non stop diarrhea, which ironically is great for giving dogs a healthy coat. Well the joke is clearly on me because I have been shitting my brains out for two days straight and I’m blind in one eye.
On the upside, the intestinal trauma is a nice distraction from my aching joints. You win this round, PetSmart.
