What Doctors & Customers say...
Jan. 20, 2009 - "In September 2008 our veterinarian recommended ProMotion for Max. Max is a 6-year old Golden with moderate hip-dysplasia, who is battling cancer and has a few extra pounds on him, so we assumed that was why he became sluggish and inactive. In light of more severe issues, I reluctantly ordered my first bottle of ProMotion hoping for any improvement that would make him feel more comfortable and/or get around better. Literally, within 4 days of starting ProMotion he was markedly more active and actually spunky!! Over the past 4 months we have continued with ProMotion and are THRILLED with the response!!! He runs around and plays like he did when he was a puppy. Friends comment when they visit about what a change they see. I don't know if these results are typical, but we consider ProMotion the Magical pill in our house! We have even started our other, younger dog on it proactively to avoid any issues that may arise as he gets older. To anyone who is hesitant I recommend you invest for the long runs now!! It truly has changed his life." - Kelly, Mohopac, NY Dec. 29, 2006 - "Merlin has been having some joint issues after a really hard game of soccer, so we started him on ProMotion this summer. It's helped lots and now he can really play ball - even in the snow." - J. Madsen, Loveland, CO
Jan. 30, 2008 - "I started my 11-year old Weinmaraner Taz on ProMotion, because he was starting to slow down. He would limp when getting up from his bed and basically lost some of his 'Crazy Playfulness'. I gave him the suggested amount for the first 5 days and within a week he was back to his crazy self! I run Taz 3-4 miles a day and he's doing amazingly well. I will start him on ProNeurozone soon to prevent him from getting old too fast, if ProNeurozone is as good as Promotion, I trust I will have a healthy and Crazy Taz for many more years! Thanks for making an amazing product!" - Jack, Lawrenceville, GA Jan 10, 2008 - "I mailed this letter to my vet today and wanted to send a copy to you as well. 'Dear Doctor, I wanted to let you know about the health of our family dog, Benji. As you know over the years your practice has seen him, and you know that he has severe arthritis. Benji is on Proanthozone and ProMotion. Several months ago, my friend Brook at AHO suggested that I cut up the tablets and mix them into some soft food. I did as told, and the results have been extraordinary. Our dog is completely different. His movements look normal and we have not noticed any of the limping that was so prevalent last year. I have to tell you these supplements are amazing! Best regards, Doug" - Denver, CO Aug 27, 2007 - "How very much I appreciate you, Dr. Mulnix - for all you did for Bailey for her almost 12 years with me! ...She had degenerative arthritis and your ProMotion literally gave her the pain-free ZEST she had! She was the most wonderful dog in the world, but I know if she hadn't had her ProMotion, she wouldn't have been the same dog. Thank you, thank you, thank you is all I can say." - Dee & Bailey, MT Mar. 12, 2008 - "I really have noticed a difference in my old kitty! I am very satisfied with Feline ProMotion." - Melanie, Tallahasse, FL Feb. 12, 2007 - Skyy Dogs USA and Rockin' Ray are America's most exciting canine entertainers! They have been performing for over 17 years dazzling crowds with incredible disc-catching ability, graceful aerobatic skill and jumping rope. Rockin' Ray's talented dogs are trained to do many amazing tricks.

"The Skyy Dogs' average lifespan is 15 to 18 years. The dogs perform up to 13 to 14 years of age. We have never experienced an injury. The dogs vault, jump, twist, and turn. We feel strongly that our dogs' longevity and health is due to their nutritious diet and exercise program, combined with Animal Health Options ProMotion joint supplement. We know there are numerous products to choose from; however, we choose ProMotion and highly recommend it. Our dogs are living proof that this is the best supplement product on the market today." - Thanks, Ray and the Skyydogs

PROMOTION®
Has joint discomfort got your pet down?
ProMotion® is a patented supplement with potent antioxidants and joint nutrients to maintain your pet's joint health. Healthy joints facilitate mobility and healthy cartilage provides shock absorption. Joint health has a tremendous impact on the activity level and quality of life of any dog or cat.
What causes joint damage?
Injury, excess body weight, aging, free radical damage, and genetic predisposition are all possible causes for joint damage.
What are free radicals?
Free radicals are unstable molecules produced during biological processes such as breathing and digestion. Free radicals are also the result of environmental factors including injury or infection. Once active, the free radical steals electrons from molecules in many body tissues and cells. Free radical damage has been linked to many diseases including arthritis. Joint tissue cells may be damaged by free radicals as your pet gets older, which often explains the stiffness associated with aging.
Why are antioxidants important in a joint supplement?
Antioxidants remove or neutralize the reactive free radical. Antioxidants benefit the joint tissues by providing greater flexibility, strength and endurance. They may improve the immune response and healing and may also reduce inflammation caused by free radicals.
What are the signs of joint damage?
Pain, stiffness, difficulty rising or climbing stairs, and in severe cases, lameness, are all signs that joint damage may be present.
Is my pet at risk for joint disease?
All pets are at risk for joint disease. As many as 20% of dogs over ONE year of age are affected. If your dog or cat is overweight or growing older, they are especially at risk. Several breeds of dogs are genetically predisposed to joint disease. Consult your veterinarian if you think your dog or cat may be at risk.
What causes joint pain?
Within the cycle of cartilage degradation, there are two phases that contribute most to joint pain: 1) inflammation leading to cartilage loss, and 2) decreased joint lubrication and nutrition. After the initial insult to the joint, the body tries to fix itself. In the process, white blood cells from the immune system release free radicals that cause further damage and inflammation.
In arthritic joints, the synovial fluid and cartilage are broken down by free radicals, enzymes, and other substances. The synovial fluid loses viscosity and its ability to provide nutrients to cartilage is reduced. Cartilage then becomes brittle and weak. Undernourished joint cells (chondrocytes), which make up the cartilage, cluster and die, and the resulting disruption in joint cell activity initiates degeneration and inflammation. The affected animal experiences pain, stiffness, and eventually lameness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is ProMotion®?
A. In a 90-day trial on 63 dogs, pain scores improved by 50% after just 10 days.
Q. Why is the loading dose only 5 days?
A: ProMotion® is a fast-acting joint nutrient supplement designed to keep your pet active and healthy. The patented formula contains OPC bioflavanols, which are potent antioxidants, to protect against damaging free radicals and enzymes, plus glucosamine and hydrolyzed collagen to provide joints with the nutrients they need to regenerate cartilage and remain healthy. Only ProMotion® contains this innovative combination of nutrients and antioxidants.
The synergistic balance of ProMotion® extends into the remaining nutrients, which include vitamin C, manganese, zinc, and cysteine (sulfur source). These are necessary for maintenance and proper synthesis of joint tissues. All four support the body's antioxidant defenses as well.
Q. When should I start giving my pet ProMotion®?
A: ProMotion® can be used as a preventative in breeds that are predisposed to joint problems or in pets that are becoming older. ProMotion® can also be used to support recovery after an injury or surgery. Any pet experiencing joint discomfort may benefit from the effects of ProMotion®, and it's safe for long-term use when used as directed. Your veterinarian can diagnose your pet's problems and advise you if ProMotion® can help.
Q: How soon should I see results?
A: According to a study of dogs, 50% showed signs of improvement within just 10 days of taking ProMotion®. In some cases, significant improvement may not be seen for 3-4 weeks.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: 2% or fewer dogs experience mild gastrointestinal upset from glucosamine supplementation, one of the ingredients in ProMotion®. In these dogs, Proanthozone is a good alternative.
ProMotion is available in flavored chewable tablets for Dogs and flavored sprinkle capsules for Cats.
