This is the story of an old dog, Daisy, and her renewed energy after finding relief from the development of age-related joint discomfort common in her primary breed through daily supplemental “treats.”
Our big lady (as we call her), Daisy, is a 14-year-old chocolate lab mix rescued right off the streets of downtown Dallas.
We had recently bought a house with a big backyard, with the plan and desire to add yet another dog to our family.
In an event of what seemed like divine fate and intervention, my dad found Daisy, a malnourished pup with lacerations around her neck, and asked us if we could keep her.
We of course all said YES, and she’s been our girl ever since!
Our vet estimated Daisy’s age to be about a year old and said she needed to gain FORTY POUNDS to be healthy.
She also suffered from deep lacerations around her neck due to an embedded collar. The vet thought she might’ve been a runaway that simply grew into it.
She had some recovery ahead of her, but other than that, she’s always been the epitome of good puppy health. She had somehow maintained her sweet disposition through whatever she experienced before us!
She’s pretty much maintained her puppy-level energy her whole life...at least, up until this last year...
We first noticed her joints cracking more when getting up, and more and more often her customary game of endless fetch was ending a lot sooner.
We’d made changes to her diet a couple of years ago to senior food, and once we saw joint discomfort creeping in, we began trying all sorts of things to help.
I suppose we hoped keeping her exercised and eating a healthy diet would keep her feeling young and full of her normal spunk.
Although she seemed to be okay for a while, it felt really sudden when her joint discomfort took a turn for the worse.
She started slipping on our floors...her legs would splay out, and she would clearly strain to recover. We would tell her to hold on and run to help lift her hindquarters back to normal position.
After a couple of days of this, we felt we had to search for something to help her. I spent hours online, at the pet store, and in the pet aisle at the grocery store.
We spent weeks afterward trying different supplements that contained natural ingredients like glucosamine.
While our Daisy seemed to be in okay spirits she wasn’t up and around like she used to be. She was laying down and sleeping more, and it took her a while to get up. Take a look below to see how she used to get up from lying down....It just breaks my heart.

It all seemed to happen so quickly. We were really afraid it was time to think about what it would be like to no longer have Daisy in our lives.
I happened to explain the situation to a friend, and she told me about Pet Honesty’s PureMobility. She gave me a month’s supply.
I cannot explain the sense of relief I felt after just a few days. My old girl already seemed in better spirits -- ready to play fetch in the yard with our boy!
If you have a pet, you’ll know what I mean when I say she was “smiling” again all the time.
Look at the amazing change below in how Daisy is getting up now from just ONE month of being given PureMobility!
After a month of taking these supplements, it feels like our girl is more herself than she has been in the last year! After trying so many different supplements and options we can't believe it!
We know she’s not a puppy anymore, but we also know she’s got so much life to live..and we have so much more love to give her, too.
We feel like our old girl’s got new spunk, and it’s all because of her Pet Honesty chews...there’s no other explanation.
It’s only been almost 8 weeks since we first started giving the PureMobility supplements to her, but the difference is like night and day.
Apparently it's because PureMobility soft chews contain a blend of 5 all-natural joint support ingredients that all target the essential components of joint health. Glucosamine helps joint structure, Turmeric assists with discomfort and helps promote a normal inflammatory response, while Collagen supports cartilage and joint cushioning.
She’s able to nearly jump up from laying down now. No more splaying out on the floor at all. She’s even hopping up on her back legs to try and reach the ball when it’s in the Chuck-It and we’re ready to launch!
The REAL star ingredient in PureMobility is the rare Green Lipped Mussel from New Zealand, which helps with discomfort and support joints at a genetic level.
When I asked for more information on why PureMobility was so effective, this is what Dr. Brielle Weldon, Pet Honesty's veterinarian had to say about it:
"A lot of recent research has found that Green Lipped Mussels can do two main things to help your dog’s joints.
First, rather than MASKING the symptoms of joint discomfort like other common joint medications, Green Lipped Mussels actually tackle the root cause of discomfort in your dogs’ body. They do this by working at the genetic level to inhibit the production of the discomfort-causing arachidonic acid in your dog’s body.
Second, Green Lipped Mussels contain Glycosaminoglycans. These are the building blocks used by cells for producing healthy cartilage and fluid that cushions joints. More healthy cartilage produced in your dog’s body means less discomfort and improved mobility!"
We are so thrilled to have our girl back to normal. Thank you Pet Honesty!
I’ve already told several friends with older dogs! I can’t express how much these supplements mean to us -- and Daisy!
