Morning all Fur-Moms
My 14 year old Border Collie has been part of the Herbal Pet family for 12 years with huge Allergy issues, which completely solved that problem….
So now arthritis has come to visit. Beryl suggested the Joint Formula and all I can say is…. WOW!
In just 2 days on a very minimal 1/4tsp (she’s prone to diarrhea) her eyes literally got their sparkle back, she’s getting up much easier, looking for bones again. And now a week later she actually did her usual walk without rest stops and running way ahead of me. My baby is happy again.
Beryl said the fast reaction at first was the natural pain killer herbs.

I bought this for my 6 month old Border Collie pup who has epilepsy as well as a back injury. Started giving this to her in December and the improvement is simply amazing! She’s running and playing with her siblings again after sitting on the sidelines, wanting to join but unable to due to pain. After showing this to my vet, he said that it is better than anything (chemical) they could prescribe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Anna-Marie Press –
My 9 Yr old Golden Retriever has been suffering terribly with arthritis and hip dysplasia. One week on the joint formula and she’s got a spring in her step she hasn’t had for years, and her legs don’t shake anymore when she’s standing still. Can’t wait to see her after a month in the joint formula
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Thank you, Anna-Marie, you’ve made my day. 🙂

Hi Beryl 🙂 My almost 13yr old JR cross has arthritis in her toes and legs. Very stiff back knees. Tried imported CBD oils of various strengths, GCS, acupuncture, laser. No discernible difference. After just two doses of joint formula I noticed her back knees had loosened up. We are now halfway through the jar and this is her progress: She had been lagging on walks and is now able to keep up with my other dog. She had also started bouncing up and down like she used to, as well as pouncing on my other dog which she had stopped doing. She’s definitely happier and looser in her joints and I am very grateful! Thank you!
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Linda, thank you! I love, love, love this. 🙂
Annelie Stols –
Jessica, my English Bulldog is so much better. Not so sore and stiff anymore. Even climb the stairs now when previously she could hardly walk. I believe in this product.
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Awesome! Yay!
Ilze de Waal (verified owner) –
Using the Joint formula for a month now. My GSD struggled with a stiff back leg. She improved significantly and are standing up,walking and running so much easier now. There is still a bad day now and then but she improved significantly.She also has no issues with the formula mixed in with her food which I thought could be a problem.Thanks for the quick delivery as well.
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Awesome, Ilze! Thanks so much for letting us know….
Ans Olivier –
Thanks. Your joint formula has made both of my Great Diane’s life so much easier. Both have hip displacement pains and since using the formula, they are so much better.
Thanks Beryl
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Very pleased. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Old Monster Dog says thank you, Beryl.
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Aw. Thank you, Monster. xxxxx
Abigail –
I’ve been using this product for over a year along with other supplements for my 2 year old cross breed dog with severe hip dysplasia. He is way more comfortable when he is on the formula. I notice a big difference if I neglect to buy a new tub timeously. 10/10 for a great product which is affordable!!
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Thank you, Abigail. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Deanne Roberts –
Brilliant, have a Golden Retriever, his lower back carlidages are disintegrating, and used to hardly be able to walk. was seriously thinking about putting him to sleep.
Told to try a product…..and now he is up and about, even plays with the new puppy….he still has his off days, but is a 1000 percent more at ease. Bought him a few extra years.
Anine Swart –
My 11yo GSD says thank you! His limp is gone and he runs around like a puppy again
Pauline Kinton –
My 13 year old weimeraner had a new lease of life after using this formula it stopped her feeling sore all the time and being grumpy too.
Kerry Bailey –
Amazingly affordable product for the results on offer. I have previously paid up to 4 times more than the cost of his remedy. Definate difference in my dog and that’s why I have been using it for the past year and will continue to use the product. Great job Beryl!
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Thanks so much Kerry!
