American Press Travel News – March 9, 2016.-PSL. FL.-written by Team Bob and Barb– Eleven years ago, we found Terry (our mixed breed dog) and for the past eleven years as part of our family, he has treated us so well, in response to our treating him with love and caring, as if he is more our son, then just a family pet. Eleven years later, today; we have gotten older, and Terry, in dog- years, that are accelerated to virtually the same biological age as we are now (close to 70 years) has also aged.  Recently, we’ve noticed Terry beginning to limp and show some discomfort in his hips. We have sought information (besides the Veterinarian’s  advice) from other dog owners with older dogs. We’ve learned about medicinal and dietary supplements that include Glucosamine and Chondroitin,  in a seasoned, whole-foods product that would be happily acceptable to Terry. We recently purchased a product called “Zuke’s Hip Action Treats” contained in a peanut butter formula. The product is made in the United States and, from what we can see, it is assisting in offering Terry some daily hip and joint support, in a naturally delicious dog treat. Additionally the product has added vitamins and minerals. The product has egg shell meal and entire formula has been quite appealing to Terry. We noticed that Terry, after just eating the first half bag of Zuke’s has stopped limping. He also appears to be sleeping without waking up to pain throbs at night, and although 11-years old, bounds out of his dog bed with the kind of enthusiasm that we remember he had as a younger dog- ready and able to take on the day of exercise and playfulness that we have come to love about him.
