The above is common in the dog world, but feel free to continue sticking your head in the sand and/or suggesting people are suffering from some ridiculous third-party placebo effect. The above improvements are easily observed - wishful thinking doesn't eliminate obvious signs of pain.

And, whether one doubts its efficacy is mostly irrelevant -

trying it is cheap, and there are no studies showing any significant side effects in dogs.
I too have gone thru that route. It didn't seem to make a difference. There are some days where he is better, some not so good.

So if I don't simply embrace a product that refuses to prove itself, it is called sticking one's head in the sand even when that product has been proven by science NOT to work?

I doubt the efficacy of any product that is unwilling to prove itself. Would you believe I score higher on a certain test than mensa candidates? I do refuse to prove it too.

Adequan is cheaper because it is a proven product. This is snake oil that has not been proven to work. A very simple question is how much is really reaching the joints, if any at all?
