Here is Dizzy looking very happy & jaunty on her morning walk. Her limp from her arthritic foreleg is hardly noticeable. The Tvati has certainly helped her cope with the high temperatures this summer. I’ve managed to retain this level of improved comfort whilst reducing her dosage to 2 days on & 1 day off. Excellent win! Originally posted on Tvati reseller Ingenious Probiotics
Winding the other dogs up at doggy daycare!! Great product We bought this for Cali, our almost 7-year-old Doberman. She’s still a relatively healthy and active dog, but we’d started noticing some little things, mainly some stiffness when she got up after sleeping and occasionally having to think about jumping into the car rather than just launching herself in like the lunatic she is 😂 The vet wasn’t particularly concerned when we took her in for a check-up, but she’s a BIG dog and absolutely loves being active, as do we, so we wanted to get ahead of it and give her joints a bit of extra support rather than wait until it became a bigger issue. We tried a few chew supplements, but she is a Doberman, so she’s not stupid and just spits them out lol... After a bit of research we came across Tvati online and liked the idea of something applied to the skin instead, especially as she loves a massage anyway (Dobermans are super demanding lol!). Since starting it a few weeks ago she genuinely seems brighter and noticeably more energetic. We’ve even had a bit of a "naughty girl" report from the doggy daycare team cause she’s been winding the other dogs up and chasing them around the field 🤣 We’ll definitely be keeping her on it! Thank you
Tvati has made a profound difference to our 9-year old Fox Red Labrador with a replacement right elbow and joints throughout his whole body destroyed by 4-years of steroid use to control Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Not only has Tvati massively improved his mobility and comfort such that we have been able to reduce his weekly physio/hydrotherapy to bi-weekly, but it has also inexplicably greatly helped his gut, being able to cut his raw food intake by 2/5. Thanks to Tvati, we have our happy and content boy back, who is now able to enjoy a much improved quality of life. Originally posted on Tvati reseller Ingenious Probiotics
TVATI is truly an innovative product and is absolutely amazing ! TVATI is truly an innovative product backed by an incredible story, research, and a team passionate about improving the lives of pets. I’m impressed by the simplicity of the formula and TVATI’s commitment to quality, science, and continued research. Excited to continue to use this product in so many capacities.
First video is Dizzy 14 yr arthritic sheltie before starting Tvati. The following videos show Dizzy after 5 weeks of using the oil everyday & just over a week using the oil every other day. Whilst she is still showing signs of lameness she is much more energetic & the difference in her enthusiasm & free movement can be seen quite clearly in the videos. Even the neighbours remarked how much brighter she looked after 2 weeks using the oil. Jumping down the step is no longer an issue. Dizzy has definitely benefited from Tvati during the heat wave. Normally she really struggles in hot weather but she has breezes through this last heatwave & is still very keen on her early morning & late night walks.

TVATI helps with pain for my (19 year) senior kitty TVATI helps with pain for my (19 year) senior kitty, she’s been using this for the last 3 months. Originally posted on Tvati reseller HardyPaw
Well I was hoping for something Well I was hoping for something ,or some improvement but this didn't give him any relief or improvement sadly... After being referred to Tvati for my 2yr old yorkie for his knees, I have not noticed any relief... Sorry ,I was really hopeful..
Very easy to use but needs patience to justify the investment Extremely easy to use with a clean, minimal formula, but results are unclear after one month, and the price makes it a commitment to continue testing. I ordered this for my 11-year-old Weimaraner, who has hip joint issues after a very active life. I was specifically interested in trying a topical option to avoid adding more oral supplements to her routine, though I was initially skeptical about how well a topical product would actually absorb and work. The application is simple once you get used to it. The pre-measured vials are convenient, and there is minimal mess if applied quickly. I do rub it in a bit to prevent other dogs from licking it off, and it helps that she tolerates the process well. It’s definitely easier than oral supplements in terms of compliance. It feels slightly oily at first but absorbs fairly quickly. I usually apply it before a walk, and it’s dry by the time we return. Since she has a short coat, it’s easy to reach the skin and work it in. After about a month of daily use, it’s hard to say there are clear results. She may seem slightly less tired during walks, but with joint products, changes can be subtle and take time. This feels more like a product that needs a 2–3 month trial to truly evaluate effectiveness. One of the strengths is the simplicity of the formula. With only hibiscus oil and coconut oil, it avoids the complexity and stacking concerns that come with many oral joint supplements. It also removes any digestive concerns tied to adding oils or supplements to food. The biggest drawback is the price relative to the current results. It’s easy to use and low effort, but without noticeable improvement after one month, it becomes harder to justify continuing unless longer-term benefits show up right away. Overall, this is a convenient and low-stress alternative to oral joint supplements, but it requires patience and a willingness to invest in a longer trial period to determine if it’s truly effective. Pros: Extremely easy and quick to apply Simple, minimal ingredient formula No digestive concerns or compliance issues Cons: No obvious improvement after one month Expensive for uncertain results Requires longer-term use to evaluate effectiveness Originally posted on Amazon · Vine Customer Review of Free Product
Anecdotal trial with controlled variables - Inconclusive Outcomes Subject: 17-year-old male dog, 25lbs, with established mobility limitations (age-related stiffness, reduced activity tolerance) Test Duration: 27 days Methodology: Daily topical application per instructions. All other mobility aids and supplements intentionally withheld to isolate variables. \------------ From a usability standpoint, this is one of the simplest "treatments" I've come across. Snap, apply, done. No resistance from the test subject, no hidden pills, no negotiation. That alone has value - especially with older animals who can be less than copperative. For the purpose of this home study, I tried to remove as many confounding variables as possible. No joint supplements, no braces, no harness assistance, no paw pads, nothing that might artificially improve mobility. Just baseline conditions plus this product. My observations: Over the 27-day period, the subject exhibited variability in mobility that did not clearly correlate with the application cycle. There were "good days" where movement appeared slightly more fluid and the willingness to stand or reposition improved. There were also equally frequent "bad days" with no observable benefit. Critically, these fluctuations were consistent with what I've seen historically with senior dogs, making it difficult to attribute improvement directly to the product. There is a possibility that mild anti-inflammatory effects are at play. On certain days, transitions from lying to standing seemed marginally less labored. However, the inconsistency and lack of sustained improvement make this difficult to confirm with confidence. Secondary Effects: \- The application area (back of neck) developed noticeable matting over time. This did not product a comfort issue or adverse condition, but it is worth noting for dogs with longer coats. \- Late in the test period, the subject developed incontinence. This had not been an issue prior to the test, yet I cannot definitively link this to the product. The timing, however, is notable enough to mention. Cost vs. Measurable Outcome: Given the premium price point, I approached this hoping for at least a directional trend. Instead, the results fall into a gray area where perceived improvement could just as easily be observational bias or normal day-to-day variation. This aligns with what others have described as "subtle" effects, though in this case, even subtlety is difficult to separate from baseline behavior. Conclusion: From a strictly observational standpoint, this trial does not provide strong evidence of consistent or sustained mobility improvement. That said, it's easy to administer, no odor, low stress for the animal, and may offer mild benefits that are difficult to quantify in a non-clinical setting. If anything, this feels more like a (costly) supportive adjunct rather than a primary solution. For context, during separate testing, we've had far more clear and sustained results using a simple, inexpensive broth made from chicken feet, carrots, celery, and rosemary. At under $10 for a 30-day batch, that approach produced noticeable, repeatable improvements in mobility and overall comfort without ambiguity or as frequent day-to-day variability. In comparison, this product introduces a significantly higher cost with far less conclusive outcomes. My bottom line: It's an interesting concept and very easy to use, but when measured against lower-cost, food-based alternatives with observable results, it's difficult to justify as a primary solution.

Hip and Joint Massage Oil for Senior Dogs 🐶 This massage oil has been a nice addition for our senior dog. As dogs age, joint stiffness can become more noticeable, and we’ve tried a variety of products over time to help keep her comfortable. I was drawn to this oil because of its clean, simple ingredients. Coconut oil is commonly used for dogs, and the addition of hibiscus oil made this one stand out. I also appreciate that it’s made in the USA. The vials are easy to open, and the oil is simple to apply exactly where it’s needed. We’ve started integrating it into her regular routine and are hopeful it will help support her comfort over time. She definitely enjoys the massage itself, which has been a nice bonus. While it is a bit on the pricey side, it may be worth trying depending on your dog’s needs. Overall, I’m happy with it so far and glad to have added it to her routine Originally posted on Amazon · Vine Customer Review of Free Product
Out of the blue, she's moving around like a kitten. My 18 year kitty ran around twice since she started using Tvati 8 or 9 days ago..I think she's definitely feeling less pain and stiffness from this product.
Makes a difference! This mobility oil has been a big hit with our two dogs (ages 7 and 4). I love how easy it is to apply. We've been using it for a few weeks, and it seems to be helping our older dog keep up with fetching his frisbee and play for longer without sore joints. Our younger dog has arthritis flare-ups from time to time, and I feel better knowing we're being proactive in caring for him so he can keep enjoying his favorite thing in the world: long walks!

Yellow Lab with Arthritis First heard of this product during 2025 SuperZoo from many pet influencers. I was interested b/c my 3 yo yellow lab was just diagnosed with arthritis around this time. But the price caused me to hestitate to buy it. Then I listened to an episode of Raw Remedies podcast featuring Sean Cahill of Tvati, and I decided to purchase this product. After about 3 weeks of daily use, my lab is doing very very well. I've noticed a difference around week 2: (1) stopped avoid steps (2) started jumping off elevated surfaces again instead of waiting to be carried (3) stopped limping (4) demanded longer sniffaris (5) acupuncture & red light therapy treatment were reduced to once a month (saving me about $150 per month) (6) he's jumping on & off the couch again. I plan to repurchase and give my dog Tvati once a week and also as needed.
A Game Changer for Our Store Cat We started using Tvati for our beloved store cat, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Before, he was moving slowly and seemed a bit stiff—understandable with age—but after just a short time on Tvati, we noticed a real difference. 🐾 His movement has improved significantly, and he’s back to exploring and greeting visitors with his usual charm. It’s like he got a little piece of his youth back! We’re so grateful to have found something that actually works and helps improve his quality of life. Highly recommend Tvati for anyone with a senior or mobility-challenged pet. It made a world of difference for us!
A few months in, and I'm seeing real results with Tonka. The humans in our life—Brandon, my mom, and I—have been using TVATI Traditional too, and we're experiencing improvements in our own mobility and pain management. I'm grateful to find therapies that benefit the whole family, that don't cause harm, that let us all feel our best. Tonka deserves that. We all do. Originally shared with Tvati via Instagram

Quick and Effective I tried Tvati for my greyhound’s wrist injury, and I’m impressed. This topical treatment, rooted in Cook Island plant extracts and backed by science from the University of New South Wales, worked wonders. Within two weeks, my dog was moving better, no more limping or stiffness. It’s been a game changer in greyhound injury rehabilitation, a solid addition to any greyhound owner’s recovery plan.
Miracle in a bottle I have been using Tvati on my dog, who had a broken leg. The vet told me it would take months for him to be able to walk properly again. I was told about Tvati and ordered a bottle straight away and began using it. My dog healed so fast and was back running around again after only a few short weeks.
I've had a lot of wear and tear over the years. My shoulders, hips, and back. Now I'm in my 60s, I'm finding it hard to get through life without pain. I had a lot of trouble with my shoulders when I was playing cricket. It was getting me down from a quality of life point of view. Since using Tvati I'm getting movement in my shoulder and have had some knee problems that feel really good now. I'm hoping to get to some form of running after using Tvati for six weeks.
Seven weeks ago I had a mountain bike accident. I broke my face, compound fractured my elbow and broke my pelvis. It was a good one, I lost a lot of blood, and had a real bad infection in my elbow—the list goes on. Three weeks ago I got in touch with Tvati because I wanted to heal quickly. I pump two pumps of Tvati under my leg a day and yesterday I had a six-week check-up for my elbow and the doctor was shocked with how fast my elbow healed. It actually over healed, which is not a bad thing. I'm stoked, and the doctor was blown away by how well I healed with all the injuries I had. I can't thank Tvati enough.
I injured my ankle at the state rugby union open championships. A week later, I went to my physio. He said it was a grade 2 sprain, and a thick tear in my anterior to fibular ligament, and a possible avulsion fracture. I went back to my physio who said I needed to be in a moon boot for 3-4 weeks. I was out of the boot in 10 days. At my 3-week check-up the doctor said he was completely happy with the state of the ankle. I competed in my athletics day, did the events on my injured ankle. I'm now 2 weeks into training and about a week away from the cross country state championships. I would not have had this opportunity to be competing right now without Tvati. I'd still be in a moon boot.
On January 24th this year, I had a nasty broken leg. I never thought I'd be able to run again, but with healthy eating, a good mindset and Tvati, it's June 5th and I'm running again for the first time. I'm so grateful for Tvati.
I've tried every method for my hands to help them heal and help the bones become stronger. I wouldn't say it unless I meant it but Tvati is a straight-up game changer. I never really thought much of this stuff until I used it myself. I highly recommend giving it a crack for any injury.
Great product! I have noticed alot more alertness and energy in my 13 year old lab.
Buddy's Knee Bone Buddy has a bowed knee from birth. We adopted him 10 years ago and just discovered after he wasn't putting weight on it that it is bowed. Due to his age the vet said she would not recommend surgery. He had been doing laser treatment, and was still having trouble. I heard about Tvati for pets and decided to try it. He is now able to jump up on the furniture and runs around. It has been amazing how much he has improved. He isn't totally his old self, but he has improved so much! So thankful to have come across this product.
Definitely helped my furbaby, but lacking quality control in last bag My GSD has been using Tvati for six months now. My beautiful GSD has arthritis and takes medication. After one week of using Tvati, there was a notable difference. She went from walking gingerly and about half a mile to chasing a squirrel (!). Although the results aren't as dramatic now, I know it is helping her every day. When I opened the last order, the contents were slippery like a vial had broken or perhaps remnants from the manufacturing process. Three of the vials were actually empty upon opening and seven vials were only partially full. This is the first time I have had an issue with the contents. The product is expensive, so it is disappointing. If the next bag is not intact, I will discontinue use of the product. The product is definitely 5 stars; however, the quality control is 2.
Not Worth The Premium Price I wanted to give this a fair chance, so I used the entire pack on my 10 year old German Shepherd who already deals with age related joint stiffness and inflammation. The application is simple enough and the single use packets are convenient, but after using the full supply over the course of a month, I did not notice any meaningful improvement in mobility, joint comfort, stiffness, energy level, or overall activity. Looking at the ingredient list, you're essentially paying a premium price for a blend centered around coconut oil and hibiscus oil, and based on my experience I simply could not justify the cost. While other owners may have different results, I saw no noticeable difference from start to finish. Easy to apply, but the lack of measurable results makes it difficult for me to recommend given the price. Originally posted on Amazon · Vine Customer Review of Free Product
Very happy with it My kitty pulled a muscle in his leg and was limping badly for two months. He would seem to be getting better and then regress. Used the oil for six weeks and he's walking perfectly now. So happy I found a natural solution!
Really appreciated the prompt response and great customer service Really appreciated the prompt response and great customer service. I am thankful.
A great option for senior dogs who hate pills My senior dog can be very picky, so getting supplements into him is often a battle. That’s what made me try this topical option, and I’m genuinely glad I did. The application is incredibly easy—just a quick, fuss-free topical application instead of trying to hide pills in food or convincing him to eat another chew. I was definitely skeptical at first because topical joint support sounded a little too good to be true, but after using it consistently, I noticed he seemed more comfortable getting up and moving around. He appeared a bit less stiff, especially after resting, which was exactly what I was hoping for. I also appreciate that it uses simple ingredients and feels like a gentler, less invasive option to try for aging dogs needing a little extra support. Of course every dog is different, but for us, this has been a worthwhile addition to his routine and something I’ll continue using. If you have a senior pup who refuses oral supplements, this is absolutely worth trying. Originally posted on Amazon · Vine Customer Review of Free Product
We have not observed any change in his mobility We have not observed any change in his mobility. He is the same. I had hoped it would help him.
GREAT FOR MY PUPS This pet mobility oil is designed for senior dogs to support joint comfort and daily movement using a topical application. The hibiscus and coconut oil blend gives it a natural, lightweight feel, and it’s meant to be applied once daily to help with stiffness, hip discomfort, and general mobility support over time. Because it’s topical, it’s easy to add into a routine without pills or chews, which can be helpful for picky pets. Results usually depend on consistent use, and it works best as part of overall joint care for aging dogs rather than a quick fix. \* Topical oil designed for daily joint support \* Hibiscus and coconut oil base for natural application \* Easy once-a-day use for senior dogs \* Aims to support mobility, hips, and stiffness Overall, it’s a simple, natural-style mobility support product that’s convenient for senior dogs who need gentle, daily joint care assistance.

it didn't work as well as I would have hoped for it didn't work as well as I would have hoped for my senior dogs leg :(
Noticeable improvement Although I have only been using Tvati for 21 days, I have notice a reduction in my left hip pain due to arthritis. As I've had this problem for many years, I am not expecting overnight changes. But noticeable small changes are very heartening and I am feeling that I've finally found something that works as, so far, nothing I've tried has helped me at all other than given temporary relief.
Easy Alternative for Senior Dogs That Hate Pills This topical joint oil is a unique option for older dogs that refuse to take pills or chews. The pre-measured vials make it very simple to use with no guessing or mess, and applying it to the back of the neck only takes a few seconds. I like that the ingredient list is short and straightforward without a bunch of extra additives mixed in. This could be a good fit for dogs dealing with stiffness, hip issues, or slowing down with age. The biggest downside is definitely the price, but the convenience factor and easy daily application may make it worth it for picky dogs.

One star off because of price I was skeptical of trying a product like this but both my dog and I are thankful I did. This has provided a noticeable improvement in his difficulty moving and allowed him to be more mobile after just a couple of applications. This is not inexpensive but worth every penny if his quality of life is improved, which it has been. The individual dose containers are an easy option; you just twist off the end and apply the premeasured amount. The oils provide relief without any unpleasant odors.

high priced but helpful The TVATI pet daily mobility formula is made with hibiscus and coconut oil. It is a natural oil to help soothe your older dog's joints and arthritis issues. With the oils used it smells nice but is not a heavy scent to impact the dog's nose or scent. It has helped our older retriever with his stiff joints to move better and with more ease. There is no taste as it is not meant for consumption, yo actually apply it to your dogs neck so it can absorb in their skin. With the limited ingredients, it is both safe and effective for your pet. It is really pricey but it's effective as well so it is a good value for the money but would be 5 stars if it was more affordable. Originally posted on Amazon · Vine Customer Review of Free Product
