Why these stories matter
Known by the people
who know the dogs.
The dogs featured here work, train, retrieve, flush, compete and live active family lives. Some use Maintenance for broad everyday support; others use Joint+ when joints and connective structures are the priority. Each story is now labelled with the formula used so you can judge the experience in the right context.
We are grateful to every handler and owner who has allowed us to tell their dog’s story. Their experiences help explain the practical difference between a list of ingredients and a product used every day.
These are individual, owner-reported experiences—not veterinary claims or guaranteed outcomes. Supplements do not replace appropriate veterinary care.
Doris · German Wirehaired Pointer
Back as part of the team.
“After just three weeks on the paste, the difference was remarkable. She worked as a full and equal part of the team again—no stiffness, no holding back, just enjoying her work like she always has.”
Louise Holmes · GWP handler
FieldStrength Maintenance — The Original Paste is now part of the daily routine across Louise’s working-dog team.
Paste used: Maintenance — The Original Paste.
Pippa · Working spaniel
More va-va-voom.
“Within two weeks, Pippa had more va-va-voom and more get-up-and-go. There was a difference in her coat, her eyes and her dry nose. She is jumping up and around again—and, importantly, her stools haven’t changed.”
Jonathan · Pippa’s owner
Pippa receives one level teaspoon of Maintenance — The Original Paste each day as part of her normal feeding routine. Jonathan would happily recommend FieldStrength Naturals Maintenance — The Original Paste—and we think Pippa would too.
Paste used: Maintenance — The Original Paste.

Frodo · Labrador · Joint+
Moving more freely.
Before starting Joint+, Frodo was limping on his right leg in the mornings and after walks. Following a veterinary consultation, Tony was advised that Frodo showed early signs of arthritis in his front-right elbow and wrist.
“Since taking Joint+, Frodo’s movement appears much freer, and he no longer exhibits the same level of stiffness when getting up in the mornings or after walks.”
Tony · Frodo’s handler
Frodo began Joint+ at the beginning of August 2026, receiving two teaspoons daily as part of his routine. Tony reported that Frodo’s prescribed medicine, dose and other care had not changed during this period.
October 2026 update
Back out working.
Tony has now told us that Frodo is back out working and retrieving again. After adding Joint+ to his daily routine, Tony saw such a noticeable improvement in Frodo’s movement that this arthritic Labrador, who had been struggling to walk, is once again doing the work he loves.
Paste used: Joint+ Collagen Paste.
Individual, owner-reported experience. Frodo remains under veterinary care; individual results vary. Joint+ is a complementary feed, not a veterinary medicine, and does not replace appropriate veterinary care.

In their owners’ words
Different dogs.
Their own experience.
Wilbur · Miniature Dachshund · Maintenance
“His movement seems freer and more comfortable, and his coat has grown stronger and healthier after a period of moulting. Wilbur loves the taste too, which makes it easy to give every day.”
Melissa H.
Cody · 11-year-old Cockapoo · Joint+
“He’s moving more freely, managing the stairs much better and seems more comfortable day to day. His coat also looks healthier, softer and shinier.”
Corey S.
German Shorthaired Pointer · Maintenance
“The changes have been really noticeable. He honestly seems like a pup again—more playful, and his whole demeanour seems more cheerful. As dog owners, we know our dogs.”
Deb Bowens · Trainer & handler
Working Border Collie
“I was sceptical at first, but the difference has been clear. He’s moving much more freely, seems far more comfortable in himself and is managing a proper day in the field again.”
George L. · Shepherd

Support that goes
into the field.
Dec · Working Labrador · Joint+
Back where he belongs.
“Joint+ was introduced to me when Dec was diagnosed with a shoulder injury. After deep-tissue massage, the issue remained. The vet prescribed a course of Loxicom and, at the same time, I added FieldStrength Joint+ to Dec’s daily routine.
Dec is the mainstay of my working-dog team, so leaving him in the kennel while the others went out was not fair on him. After a month of consistent use, Dec is now back to fitness and working every drive—returning the birds to me one by one.”
Alan Jarvis · Dec’s handler
Dec receives two level teaspoons of Joint+ daily as part of his normal feeding routine.
Alan’s account is an individual, owner-reported experience. Joint+ is a complementary feed and should not replace prescribed veterinary treatment without veterinary advice.
Jasper · German Shepherd · Retired protection dog · Joint+
“He became Jasper again.”
“Our GSD Jasper was starting to slow down at just six. He had led a physically demanding life as a protection dog and could jump, run and climb with the best of them. Finding FieldStrength Naturals Maintenance — The Original Paste was a revolution—and he became Jasper again.”
Jasper’s owner
Jasper now receives Joint+ Collagen Paste as his focused daily joint-support formula. His owner’s quotation above records their earlier experience with Maintenance and has been preserved in their own words.
