"He has just become a completely different dog"
Billy has had cancer, which he got cut out and recovered from thankfully, (that was about 3 years ago, and he had another surgery about 6 or so months ago) he also has had arthritis. We put him on some medication the vet gave us (can’t remember which sorry) after about 2 months on that we only saw a very small change in his mobility and a lot of the time a 10 minutes walk was too much for him and his back legs would collapse under him a lot, he was very unsteady on them and all over his health and energy was probably a 2/10.
He struggled to follow us around the house and was very slow, no one really knew how much longer he would last. My mum started him on Rose-Hip Vital about 3 months ago after being recommended by a friend and over that time he has just become a completely different dog. His energy and playfulness are at levels we haven’t seen in years, he now eats a lot more food, and can go on walks up to 30 minutes or so, sometimes longer. He doesn’t struggle to get up and we have found he doesn’t pant so heavily through the night or after his walks. He is a staffy cross golden retriever and will have his 16th birthday in October!
