My package has arrived
My job for the next 6 Weeks is to Trial Pedigree Joint Care +
"Look at this George its got my name on the bag, Wow"
"Hang on George get your nose out, I'm the one doing the trial"
Right, first up let me tell you what I've got
Six weeks worth of Joint Care+
Some balls and a wanger
Back pack with my name on
Plus a video camera, this has to be returned at the end of the six weeks
Plus a letter, wait a minute while I check the small print!!
Yes its all OK I can do it
Now you might be thinking why does a pup of 14 months need
joint care supplements.
It all started second week into my first season, I found my
back legs were getting stiff after a had been sleeping. A got a check up with
the vets and had to have an X-Ray he say’s I have Hip dysplasia in my left hip!
Me and Mom talked about it lots, I’m still growing, it could be other things
that have contributed to my condition.
Like
Playing to rough with George.
Or the time
I swallowed Dads anti inflammatory tablets and me and George had to spend the
night at the vets, it was me that had taken them as I had to go back in the
next night!
The time my left foot got caught in the seat belt clip. (Mom thinks that’s
where my problems started, even though it was months before, and I didn’t show
any signs of being hurt)
Who knows but I have it and life goes on and I am going to
live it to the full. Mom is careful I don’t over do things and get too tired.
Which brings me to the trial, after I had been signed off by
the vet he said that swimming and taking Joint supplements could help, I had nothing to lose
so I got booked into swimming lessons and Mom got me some “yumove” joint support tablets, which I have been taking
until pedigree got in touch to tell us about Joint Care+
Mom had to check that is was OK for me to have these treat
sticks as they are for older dogs
Hannah from Pedigree replied
"Joint Care+ may well be a more convenient way for her to get
her supplement each day in order to look after her joints. Dogs over the age of
6 will be most suitable for the Joint Care+, but this is simply because they
are getting older, slowing down, and their joints need extra care and
attention. As Tess' joints already need this care and attention, there will be
no problem with Tess taking part in the trial.
The sticks are also low calories and low fat - and we have
created sticks which suit each dogs' size - rather than a 'one stick suits
all'!"
Thanks Hannah
Great, I get to have a treat stick instead of a tablet.
Mom has done a video of me and George on one of our morning
walks, she may be OK at taking photos but has a lot to learn when it coming to
video’s!!
When you upload to YouTube it says this video is shaky do you want to put it right, so she pressed the button to do this and it came out a bit funny!! I’ve told her not to go pressing that button again.
"Come on George fancy a game of ball"

Oh Tess, this sure sounds like it is going to be fun, fun, fun!
Sorry to hear you have hip dysplasia at such a young age, but since your parents found out so soon they can do everything possible to keep you happy and pain free. I think the swimming and gentle walks are a great idea and I hope those supplements help too. At least they are a treat so it is more fun to take them that way.

Oh, Tess, Ma thinks you are the cutest pup EVER! (Hey Ma! I thought I was the cutest pup EVER??) Anyhu, I hope those supplements help ya out! Good Luck!
Kisses,
Ruby
Tess I had NO IDEA that you have hip displasia. I am sorry to hear that..
BUTT... if this stuffs helps you then it won't be so bad.
I LOVED YOUR VIDEO. You and George take Lovely Walkies. It is very much wise to keep your mum on the walkin string...
I can't wait to hear how this goes.
PeeS... your MONOGRAMMED Back pack is grrreat.
Tess enjoy your joint care treats. Happy Sunday evening.
Best wishes Molly
Oh Tess, we shall be watching how things go with particular interest. Someone in my household has slight 'acetabular hip dysplasia'. No, not me, but Gail! Yes really! And yes I too thought it was just a dog thing. Anyway, she started getting lots of pain in her right hip when in her early thirties, and the vet, sorry the doctor, said it was a congenital defect and the ball was the wrong shape for the socket in her hip joint, and she should stop playing squash and running. But she now does lots of hill walking and cycling and swimming, and only occasionally gets a bit of pain, despite the doctor telling her she'd need a hip replacement by the age of forty.
So Tess, it seems you can live a good, active life with hip defects.
And Gail hasn't even tried any Pedigree supplements yet. Do you think she should?
Toodle pip!

Wow, that's very interesting! My sissy has problems with her hips, so she's started taking tablets. I bet she'd prefer a treat stick! We'll be following your progress very closely.
What a posh trial kit Tess :o) Onlt the best for you and George though! Hope it helps your poor hip - sounds like it's nice to eat anyway ;o)
Lots of love

We hope they work! We might have to start HER on it...SHE has a sore shoulder.
Saw you in the synchronized sleeping, how cute, all snuggled up together.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
We loved your video but we're sure happy that you didn't give Tess a wet head, George!
We hope the joint sticks help you out.
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
Tess! You're too young to have those problems. I hope this helps you a lot. And tell that George to take it easy and don't play so rough. Love from Bridger and Misty.
Oh Tess - I had my heart in my mouth when I watched that video and it looked like George was gonna wee on your head!! Whew....just missed!!
I've been put on Joint Function Sticks by SeaFlex... they are more for keeping my skin in tip top condition because we schnauzers are prone to "hot-spots" and stuff - so my vet put me on them. Now mum orders them over the net because they are about 1/3 of the price than at the vet!!! Don't tell her BOL! They are also good for keeping my joints in good nick! They are so yummers I am in full approval of it all. But I didn't get a flash bag and stuff....

We really hope the joint care helps you Tess. You look really pleased to be taking part in the trial with that great big smile on your face. We loved your video, but tell George he nearly peepeed on your head!
I'm sorry that you're having problems with your joints and that this helps.
Thaat's pretty cool that you got not just joint supplements, but other goodies too!
Oh Tess,
I am so sorry to hear about your HD and the problems with your joints. I really hope that this food makes you feel happier. Looking forward to hearing your report - our Tammy also suffers from joint problems (she's 11 now). I'm curious to hear what you say.
With love

Hugs and nose tapes

Very interesting, Tess. I'm so glad you got into a trial and I sure hope it helps those hips. I know it can't be fun, but you've got a great Mom & Dad to take such good care of you.
