I have been charitable my 19 year ancient cat Syn Flex. A year ago she came down with arthritis so terrible I plotting she would have to be place down. Now she really runs around and plays. It takes a modest while to start working and you have to give it each day but it really does work.
Another herbal product I gave my cat was called “Dog gone pain” For cats and dogs. It works quicker and you can use it until the Syn flex starts to work.

I’m with convert to metric. My cat was diagnosed with arthritis at age 15. My vet place him on Metacam as a means of quickly relieving the inflammation and making him more comfortable, but he doesn’t recommend using it long term. It’s an NSAID, similar (but not identical) to Ibuprofen. Given the nature of the drug, cats can have the same long-term issues from its use that we can from long-term use of Ibuprofen. At the same time he ongoing the Metacam, he also had me give him Dasuquin. After two weeks, there had been enough time for the Dasuquin to start making a difference and he was taken off the Metacam. I did a few other things to help him as well. I added pet steps to his favorite areas that were higher, such as the bed, to reduce some of the stress on his joints. I place a heating pad in his favorite sleeping spot and kept it turned on low, and also massaged his muscles and joints daily. All of these things combined seemed to make a huge difference in his quality of life. He lived happily to the age of 18. I do, but, recommend that you discuss any therapy with your vet before beginning it.
