"He's got more energy and is happier overall"
Milo is our 7 year old Kelpie × staffy rescue. A few years ago we discovered he was in pain and has very bad hips and arthritis. He started behaving as a very old, cripple and grumpy dog. Surgery is not possible for him so we tried to keep him comfortable with steroid injections, anti inflammatory and painkillers. We've tried different meds but his stomach wasn't coping with the long term use of medication and he stopped eating for a little while. We decided (with the Vet) to stop all meds and see how he would go without. He started eating again and could have little walks with lots of sniffing time. Shortly after, we started Rose-Hip and he's been walking better than he has been for years. He's got more energy and is happier overall. We will continue with a maintenance dose for him!
I wish we learned about Rose-Hip sooner.
