We got Purdey in January 2011, she came as a rescue from the Dogstrust as a 9 month old Cockerpoo (cocker spaniel x standard poodle).

When we got her she was underweight and had dry skin. We wanted to get her as healthy as possible whilst she was still young and growing, a friend who is a vet nurse recommended Bionic Biotic.

Alfie is scruffy, medium sized rescue dog who didn’t have a very good start in life. He had been abandoned and in kennels for quite a while.

The day after I took him home from the rescue centre he developed pneumonia and even though he was very ill with a terrible cough Alfie’s tail was always wagging.

He recovered from the pneumonia, but then the scratching began.

This is a very quick update on Barney and how he is getting on with the Mobile Bones.

Barney was not limping or showing any sign of pain when he came to me, but he was moving quite slowly and he did however have a very pronounced sideways gait when he tried to run.

His coat was not in the best of condition and he was a little over weight.

I first found out about mobile bones through an advert in the horse and hound magazine.

Bally is a 3 year old Labrador Collie cross. She was diagnosed with hip discomfort at 2 years old

After going to cambridge vet school for numerous tests and x-rays, I was offered a choice of a total hip replacement on both hips or rymadil and cosequin tablets for life

As part of our dedication to helping rescue dogs, we do matched donations of the Pooch and Mutt supplements to The Labrador Lifeline Trust, who first got in touch with us when they had heard good reports about Mobile Bones (our joint supplement for dogs).

This is the feedback that we have been sent via Anne Carter of the The Labrador Lifeline Trust about her own dog, Jake, and from other people that have rescued dogs from the centre and are using Mobile Bones.

Dear Pooch & Mutt,

I thought I’d write to say thank you for your product.

Basically this is our story. I have a lovely 12 year old male dog called Haslle. Unfortunately Hassle developed extremely bad runny stools for 6 weeks.

Rescue collie with very bad skin

Hobo before

“Hobo was brought into The Mayhew Animal Home in early December 2009. His front legs were tightly bound with parcel tape and the smell emanating from his legs was quite horrendous.

He was immediately anesthetized and had the crude dressings removed. Underneath were discovered rotting cloths and tea towels. (more…)

Alfie: Collie with Runny Stools/ Med reaction

“I got the last of my dogs from rescue. On the day he received his second booster I was unfortunate to see what a terrible reaction a dog can have to such vaccines.

Alfie arrived at home and after 24hours developed runny stools which 3 vet visits and 5 sets of meds could only just clear up.

Wesley: Rescue Spanish Galgo

Jenny’s Email 11/08/09

Dear Pooch & Mutt,

I have recently applied to adopt a Spanish Galgo (Wesley) from PAWS-PATAS recue centre in Murcia, Spain. This poor old boy (estimated to be 12/13 years old) was abandonned outside the centre (tied to the bumper of a member of staff’s car) 5 weeks ago.

He was in an appalling state of neglect.

The staff at PAWS have been dedicated to helping this old boy recover, giving him daily baths until he could at long last come out of solitary confinement, and start to live again!
