Our Story

How two brothers revitalised their best friends...

We’re two brothers from Christchurch who, like you, want the best for our four legged friends.  We’re not ones to put on a dog & pony show, but we think we have a tail worth sharing.

Our story begins with our beloved (but slightly broken) boxer Billie. When Billie came into our lives, it was love at first sight. From rolling around play fighting with us as boys, to a cuddle after a hard day at school or work, Billie had a lot of love to give. Unfortunately, as she aged, she developed hip dysplasia and simple movement became a challenge. Jumping up, down and around was simply too laborious in her later years.

Fast forward a few years and we started to see similar signs in our dog, Mac. Heartbroken and frustrated, we wondered what we could have done for Billie, and what we could do to help Mac.

That’s when we started to look at what goes into our dogs’ diet.

For dogs that like rough and tumble, and are particularly hard on their joints, their food alone is often not enough to truly support their mobility needs. That’s where our supplements come in.

Natural and nutritious, our supplements are designed to restore those dog years and gift your pal with bundles of energy. We initially developed them for our own dog, Mac, to ensure he didn't have the same fate as Billie.

Mac, also known to our family as Mac McCain, Macman and Macca Doodle, was getting old and slow. After being on Dog Years for just one month, that puppy energy soon returned and now we struggle to keep up with him!

We hope that our supplements help your dog as much as it did ours.

Now that's enough from us but before we go, we'd like to give a big shout out to our fur family and regular taste testers; Dory, Bob, Mac, Camo and Tilly. Without them, none of this would have been possible.

What does your best friend need help with today?

Joint Supplement for Dogs

Natural, Effective & Yummy!

Our Joint & Mobility formula is a powerful supplement for active and healthy lifestyles. The combination of natural collagen from New Zealand deer velvet, essential fatty acids in green-lipped mussels and joint supporting properties gives your dog the boost of life they need. 

Naturally tasty, our chewable supplements are packed with nutrient-rich Deer Velvet, MSM, Green-lipped Mussel, and Venison Liver. Most importantly, when pet parents buy this product, 8 out of 10 re-order. They will often share stories of how their dog has found a new zest for life and has bounds of energy again.

How quickly will I see results?
Every dog is different and we can never guarantee any results. However, many of our customers see a within as little as 2-3 weeks. We recommend adding an additional chew on top of the suggested daily dosage if conditions are more severe.
Why should I consider adding a natural supplement to my dog's diet?
As you will know, every dog's needs are different. If you have an active dog, or a breed that is susceptible to Joint + Mobility issues, their standard food may not be offering the complete range of nutrients, antioxidants, and minerals they require. Dog years go fast, so we want them to get the most out of them!
