Archie, a 10 year-old rescue dog, concerned deal with Jonathan Gunson, 55, when his previous owner died.
Then aged 5, the dog settled in rapidly to domesticity, and liked to run in the countryside around Mirfield, where Jonathan lives.
But as Archie began to age and decrease, Jonathan began looking into manner ins which he might help his precious dog enjoy his strolls for longer, and began checking out collagen as a food supplement to help dogs as they age.
He said: “Archie loves carrot sticks – he can’t get enough of them.
“His love for carrot sticks dovetails nicely into his second love – and that is pretending he hasn’t been fed.
“He’s keen on suggesting other foods than the ones he was given to eat, like crisps, twiglets and even more carrot sticks.
“He’s also quite partial to jumping in and out of water to fetch his favourite ball, then shaking the water all over any freshly washed trousers I happen to be wearing.
“His love of water doesn’t extend to going into the garden when it’s raining too hard for me to take him for a walk. Or having showers or baths.”
Jonathan included: “I read that most dogs after the age of five will start to get some form of arthritis, so I felt this supplement might help to slow it down. It most definitely has.
“I’ve been using Pawable’s Collar-Gen powder in Archie’s food for two or three years now, alongside joint care chews and it has been incredible for him.
“He has incredible energy and dashes after his ball almost untiringly.
“I actually have to be the one to remember his age and give him a bit of rest.”
Thanks to keeping Archie’s bounce, the set have the ability to enjoy their routine strolls, consisting of in Hagg Wood, with a stop off at the brand-new city orchard.
The set can likewise frequently be seen on the greenway resulting in Dewsbury Country Park.
Jonathan said: “It’s a lovely long walk featuring all the mud any dog could ask for.
“He’s maintained a lot of fitness, he started taking it before any age-related issues were obvious, but he is definitely thriving on the collagen supplement.”
Though typically referred to as a human charm supplement, collagen is a protein that is discovered in skin and connective tissues such as joints, tendons, cartilage and ligaments.
It comprises 30 percent of all the protein in a dog’s body, so when it diminishes gradually it can intensify conditions.
Research by Pawable has actually discovered that collagen has a positive result on the strength of their bones, teeth and claws.
Jonathan included: “I’ve recommended it to lots of people. I tell them how easy it is to mix into food and that his energy shows me how effective it is.
“Dogs love being outside and running about exploring, and I believe that his collagen supplement helps his quality of life and lets him enjoy exercise, inside and outside the house.”
