We’ve been a little worried about our dog Moss recently. If
he’s been on a long walk he comes home with a slight limp and I've affectionately nick named him Mr Limpy! Springer
Spaniels are thought to be a handful to own and need a lot of exercise so I
worried when this started. True they can be quite springy when they are young
but with the correct training, obedience and maturity they make the most affectionate clever companions and we were so lucky to have the opportunity to
rescue him back in 2010. I guess he’s more than a pet to us and we treat him
like another member of the family taking him on family holidays and spoiling
him sometimes. But then any Spaniel owner will tell you they take over your
life and your heart.

So off in search of some advice and help with this we decided
to revisit a product that we’d introduced into his diet when we first rescued
him. He was 11 months old then, dirty, smelly, full of ear mites, a parasite
living in his stomach and generally run down. We started to add Bionic Biotic
to his diet and I’m not sure why we actually stopped. We ordered a tub straight
away to supplement his current food.

| Moss loves Move Easy, November 2014 |
I contacted Pooch and Mutt to tell them all about Moss and
our worries. Sam Southwell came back to
me immediately and offered a free trial of Move Easy grain free, natural
complete food. The bag arrived within a couple of days and we began to add this
to his evening meals. We were amazed at how quickly the product worked,
honestly within days his limping was going and we gave him lots of rest too. Moss
loved it so much he removed some of his other food to search out the yummy
salmon pieces! (see picture above) He finished the bag last week much to his frustration but I found
that we could add it to our weekly shop at Ocado, which is so handy. You only
have to show Moss the bag and he sits down and grins at you, he loves it and it
has helped so much with his front leg and the Bionic Biotic has made his coat so shiny. It’s a routine now to add these to his
evening meal but I have to admit he also has this as a treat too, which isn't a
bad thing.
Move Easy grain free is a single-animal
protein source, complete food for dogs who have mobility issues or who are
highly active. It contains 45% salmon (one of nature’s richest sources of the omega 3 EFAs that are essential
for joint well-being). Why grain free? Many dogs struggle to digest
foods that are high in grains (including corn and wheat). Intolerance to
grain can manifest in many ways, such as digestive discomfort, itchy skin and
sub-optimal health. Spaniels are known to have tummy problems but not
with this food.
But
don’t just take my word for it (of Moss) you can order a sample to try out on
your dog and I’m sure you’ll see the difference just as we did, It’s the best
decision we made.
