"It really works! "
Posted byPiseyon30th May 2026My 5-year-old Golden Retriever has been on this food for 11 weeks. Combined with daily exercise, he has gone from 36 kg to 33 kg. Along with a joint supplement, his mobility improved significantly. he now gets up with ease and seems much more comfortable. Highly recommended.
"highly recommended"
Posted byGeerton11th Mar 2026Peanut struggled with his mobility and was really sore. Needed painkillers especially with colder weather. Ever since we feed her metabolic mobility she is doing fantastic. Very pleased! Happy Peanut :-)
"Amazing difference for mobility "
Posted byTarynon8th Nov 2024This product has been amazing for my 12yr old Labrador bitch, who beforehand was getting very limpy & sore but after being on this product for a solid 6months that soreness has gone. She’s much more playful with our young pup and I feel she’s got plenty more in her. Highly recommend
"My dog need it"
Posted byArmandoon8th Aug 2022My old dog has the Metabolic Mobility for some time and this really improves his joints. But it's good to mix with other food, or he stops to eat. anyway has a good effect on his heath
