Were you able to find these at a natural food store like "Whole Foods" or a "Wild Oats" grocery? And does the organic turmeric & ginger root come together as 2 ingredients in one or are they sold as 2 separate bottles in a liquid form?...also can an owner administer too much that could harm the animal? Or if the case is pretty intense, can/should I play w/ the dosage? 'Cause looking @ the price of the DGP, a bottle will only last 15 days (having to give 4 tablets a day for his weight) for around $35 plus tax and shipping...

Also, is the DGP actually a pain reliever? or just an anti-inflammatory that causes inflammation to go down, therefore causing just less pain?...'cause I'm pretty sure we're at the point of needing actual pain relievers...and then some extra to help with any loss of joint fluid-(hence the other supplements).

And one more ?...How long to expect to possibly see any results?

Thank you for the extended info!
