Good luck- every dog is different, of course, and I do know some people who were NOT happy with Deramax.
btw- we had him on a very low dose- 1/4 pill for a 65lb dog. Increasing the dose didn't seem to help him any more, so we kept it low (this was recommended by the vet as well)

Was your golden (we have a golden as well as Woody) still kind of stiff in the mornings and after having been lying around for awhile? I just want to make sure that the stuff is working as it should. Woody is on 1 1/2 pills of 100 mg once a day. It seems to wear off a little in the evenings.
