Dr. Frank’s Joint Pain Relief For Dogs & Cats Review
November 13th, 2008 by Paul JohnsonDr. Frank is the creator of the product Dr. Frank’s Joint Pain Relief Spray for Dogs & Cats. You may have recently seen teh advertisement on T.V or run across his website at petpainspray.com or mypetspainrelief.com. He also sells another version of the spray, but for humans at nopainspray.com . Dr. Frank advertises his Pet Pain Spray as a homeopathic cure for arthritis pain, that magically cures it within a couple weeks. The official listed ingredients are HPUS Byronia Alba 6C, Calcarea Carbonica 30C, Calcarea Phosphorica 6C, Causticum 30C, Mercurius vivus 30C, Rhus toxicodendron 6C, Ruta graveolens 30C, Silicea 6C, Sulphur 6C.
6 C means that it was diluted six times by a factor of 100 so the final dilution will be .000000000001 , which is 1 part per 1 trillion! So small I don’t think it could even be detected by many commercial water chemical testing devices. What is the point if all the ingredients are extremely diluted? All the ingredients are so diluted it’s basically nothing except the following inactive ingredients: Distilled Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate and Natural Flavors.
Even if the concentrations were higher to be effective, you would have to take a leap of faith to first believe that a homeopathic remedy of these ingredients can be effective. The product has Rhus Toxicodendron, which I know some have tried to use to help relieve arthritis pain. Although Rhus toxicodendron is actually the stuff in poison ivy. I’m not sure if using poison ivy is exactly a good idea though. Of course according to Dr. Frank, it won’t cause poison ivy outbreaks because it’s too diluted which we already know. Everything in the product is too diluted to work. Some like White Bryonry Vine or Mercurius Vivus (derived from Mercury), are potentially dangerous poisons. Once again he says the Mercurius Vivus is too diluted to not cause problems.
The disgruntled chemist took a No Pain Challenge of the human version (No Pain Spray) to see if it worked. After 2 weeks, he found it did not relieve his arthritis. Dr. Frank offers a 30 day money back guarantee, but that is not enough time usually to figure out that it wouldn’t work and send it back. Remember, supplements do not have to be proven to work for them to make far reaching claims. I should also note that right now Dr. Frank has it setup that if you order a bottle, he will automatically bill you next month on your credit card for next month. The only way to stop it is to cancel. That shows he how shady his tactics are, so beware! If you want something effective you could either try asprin or I would look at my Arthroionx Review , since it’s ingredient is backed by many studies for helping arthritis.
Does this really work? My dog just turned 11 and I’ve been following tips on how to maintain her joint health. I walk her on a regular basis (for a short period of time), give her daily massages and have her on a low-fat diet. But I wish there was a supplement I can give her in conjunction with everything else. My dog hates swallowing anything suspicious (aka pills) so it would be best if I can mix it into her food. I really want to relieve as much pain as I can for her.
I bought Pet Pain Spray. It doesn’t work. Save your money!
My 6 year old boxer was diagnosed with severe arthritis and the vet said she needed 2 hip replacements! I was floored! My boxer had been limping for weeks and it finally got to the point where it was too painful for her to go for walks and play! I didn’t know what to do. Well i decided to do some research and I found that product you mentioned in your post called Arthroionx. I gave it to her everyday and by day 4 her limp was almost completely gone! it’s been 5 weeks since her vet visit and now she is like a puppy again! Neither of us have felt better in months! Arthroionx isn’t cheap but it is veyr effective and safe! I mix an ounce into her food and pour a little water in too!
If any of you order this I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed! I’m just so happy and relieved my “crazy” boxer is back to her fun-loving self!

Well as said it doesn’t look like the Pet Pain Spray works. But you might want to look at the Arthroionx, which is also a spray because people are reporting it to work and it does have a money back guarantee.
I use Dr. Franks on ALL my 5 Chihuahuas and have been using it for almost a year. It was immediately and dramatically effective on my two oldest who had the most severe problems walking. They started acting like puppies again. Another of the other ones developed an upper tooth infection that erupted through the upper snout as an abcess. The vet gave her antibiotics but said we’d almost certainly need to have the tooth removed surgically, and the jawbone cleaned and closed up. The antibiotics worked, but two weeks later, the same4 problem started again. I started her on Dr. Franks and within 3 days the wound was reduced. After two weeks, it was gone. It hasn’t come back, in almost a year. This spray may not work on all dogs, but I won’t stop using it no matter WHO says otherwise.

Dr. Franks, like all homeopathic treatments, is a faith-based solution, not a science-based solution. Jim, if the spray helped your chihuahuas, then rest assured that distilled water would help them as well, for a lot less money.
My cat sure is doing better!
My dad tried the spray for his Chihuahua. I guess it was either magic or fate but his Lab (less than 1 year old) and Shih Tzu (3 years old) got into the water. Both dead in less than 2 days. Could it be the spray? The Lab was 10x super energetic one day, the next she didnt act like she was feeling well, the next…. dead. Same with the other dog. I am not claiming that the spray killed the 2 animals, its just too strange how the events occured.
I doubt they died from it. As said earlier the ingredients are so diluted its almost nonexistant.
my dog lucy has hip problems and has been on dr. frank’s for 3 yrs and doing great! her vet had her a pain med. that left her unable to even get up to drink or pee. took her off the meds and once I started the dr. frank’s within 4 days she was her old self again. It may be diluted water as you say but in my experience it works……..I even use the human version for my arthritus
I have sprayed this in my cat’s water for about three years, and it helps her. It only took a few weeks to notice that she was not having trouble getting up in chairs or on the sofa. She is 18 now and I know it is still helping her. I am on the last bottle and trying to find some more.
