- Green Lipped Mussel – Read more on its benefits here: Green Lipped Mussel for Dogs: Our Planet’s Gift for Arthritic Joints
- New Zealand Deer Velvet – Read more on its unique benefits here: Deer Antler Velvet: The Science Behind the Supplement
Q: What kind of conditions is Encore Mobility™ helpful for?
If your dog suffers from any of the conditions below, Encore Mobility™ can help:
- Joint pain and inflammation (e.g., hip dysplasia)
- Connective tissue health and healing (tendons, ligaments). For example, to assist the body in healing ACL tears.
- Stimulation of the immune system
- Cognitive support
- Adrenal support (stress support)
- Senescence support
- Red blood cell production
- Wound healing
- Fracture repair
- Cardiovascular health
Q: How long after starting Encore Mobility™ until I see results?
However, because it can take longer in some dogs to see improvement, please continue to give the supplement for a full 30 days before judging efficacy.
Q: Why do you recommend Encore Mobility™ Senior Dog Supplement over the other products on the market? How is your product better?
Our active ingredients are uniquely combined, and not found together in any other mainstream joint supplements in the USA. The improvement I’ve come to expect in my patients goes far beyond mobility and joint health. This supplement seems to turn back the clock for my senior patients and improve their vitality and vigor.
In several studies on the human side and in at least one study on dogs, velvet antler was determined to be of value for patients with osteoarthritis by providing both anti-inflammatory effects and the building blocks useful for the health and healing of joints, muscle, and connective tissue.
Q: What is deer antler velvet?
This is performed under strict veterinary supervision and with local anesthetic, so that the antler (which was going to be shed anyway) is removed and the deer goes back to life as normal. The antler is regenerated each year.
Q: Is using deer antler as a supplement a new fad?
Q: Is the deer velvet humanely sourced?
The deer regrow their antlers each year.
Q: What studies support your product claims?
Please see this article which I wrote for publication in a veterinary scientific journal: Deer Antler Velvet: The Science Behind the Supplement
At the conclusion of the article, I cite 25 references, but this one is my favorite:
This 2004 study by The University of Montreal was published by the prestigious Canadian Veterinary Medical Association and concluded that the arthritic dogs in the study showed significant improvement with antler velvet supplementation.
Q: Where can I purchase Encore Mobility™ senior dog supplement?
You can purchase Encore Mobility™ online at Dr. Buzby’s shop.
Administration/Dosage
Q. If my dog takes more than one pill daily, is it best to give them all at once or spread out dosing throughout the day?
However, giving your dog Encore Mobility™ on an empty stomach IS important. We recommend the tablet(s) be given 20-30 minutes before a meal for optimal absorption.
Q: How important is the “take on an empty stomach” recommendation?
But if your dog did not read the book on this, that’s okay, just disguise in a pill pocket or as little food as possible.
For example, it can be crushed and added to a small amount of food, but ideally that would be 20-30 minutes before the full meal is given.
Q: What is the dosage for a toy breed dog because I only see dosing for 0 to 25-pound dogs on the label?
Because this product is so safe, it’s not wrong to dose a 5-pound dog and a 25-pound dog the same—one tablet per day.
I give my own 10-pound Chihuahua one tablet per day. However, for a tiny dog (ie. 5 pounds or less), you could give 1/2 tablet daily as the dose.
Q: Are the tablets easy to break in half?
Product Safety
Q: Is this supplement veterinarian approved?
Q: What are the side effects of this supplement?
However, any supplement on the market has the potential to cause diarrhea. Should this occur, stop the supplement for a few days, then back down on the dosage and work up slowly (over a week or so) to the full dose.
Q: Will this supplement upset a sensitive stomach?
Q: Is it okay to continue giving my dog’s glucosamine and chondroitin supplement if I am starting the Encore Mobility™?
The long answer is this: Glucosamine and chondroitin are naturally occurring in Encore Mobility™ in both active ingredients—the Green Lipped Mussel and the New Zealand Deer Velvet.
However, for most of my senior dog patients who are on a quality joint supplement like Dasuquin or Glycoflex, I don’t want to change more than one variable at a time in their care. So, I add the Encore Mobility™ in addition to what they are already doing.
It’s not going to hurt the dog to do both; but it may hurt your wallet. Some of my clients just continue to use both products long term; others stop their original supplement when it runs out and just continue with Encore Mobility™.
Q: Is Encore Mobility™ safe to use in young dogs?
Q: Is Encore Mobility™ safe for a dog with allergies?
Both are rare in dogs, and I’ve never seen an allergy issue with our product.
Q: Is it safe to combine Encore Mobility™ with my dog’s NSAID medication (ie. Galliprant, Metacam, Rimadyl, Carprofen, Deramaxx)?
Q: Is it safe to combine Encore Mobility™ with my dog’s phenobarbital?
Q: Is it safe to combine Encore Mobility™ with my dog’s gabapentin?
Q: I just opened the Encore Mobility supplement and there is plastic inside the bottle. Is this normal?
Q: When I opened my 90-count Encore Mobility supplement, there was no internal seal across the inside of the bottle. Should I be alarmed?
Q: Does the Encore Mobility™ need to be stopped before surgery?
Q: Is deer velvet antler contraindicated in cancer patients?
There is no evidence that it causes harm, and deer velvet antler has been shown to have anti-tumor activity.
Q: What if my dog eats the entire bottle?
Q: What if my cat eats one of my dog's Encore Mobility™ tablets?
Our supplement is safe for cats too, but cats generally don’t consider it nearly as tasty as dogs do.
