Pawable has released an update to its popular collagen for dogs joint care product.

The product already contained five different types of hydrolysed collagen types.

Now, Pawable includes undenatured type II collagen (UC-II) too.

Undenatured collagen works differently to hydrolysed collagen and studies have shown that UC-II activates immune cells which signal the body to rebuild and repair joint cartilage.

Neil Durrant, who founded Pawable, said: "We are really proud of this development. The undenatured collagen works in perfect harmony with our hydrolysed collagen which provides the nutritional building blocks to support collagen production.

"We have had so much amazing feedback from owners of dogs who are thriving on Pawable collagen, and this latest cycle of our continuous improvement is another step forward in helping more dogs enjoy greater comfort and mobility.”

Since Pawable launched it has helped thousands of dogs regain their mobility, including Miley from Wendover, Bucks, who suffered a horrific back injury while out walking in the woods.

Her owner Jonothan, an RAF defence trainer feared that his beloved dog would never walk properly again, but after giving Collar-Gen the dog now enjoys longer walks and has been signed off from her rehabilitation.

He said: "It has helped with walks, since being on Collar-Gen we take her on two walks a day and she is able to do the same the next day as well. Her weight has been dropping steadily and Miley is able to enjoy a small amount of treats now without us worrying she will put weight on and possibly increase the risk of arthritis

"Miley has now been signed off from physio but with scheduled check-ups every three months and we can now go for 90 minute walks now with ease. Miley will always have a slight limp while walking now but we are just happy to have her back happy, excitable and full of energy, but most of all being able to walk freely and enjoy life."

Neil added: "This is the first and only product of its kind that combines the power of multiple hydrolysed collagen and undenatured collagen. We are so happy to be part of a healthy solution for so many dogs, and seeing pets thrive on our product makes all our hard work so worthwhile."

Pawable costs £29.99 for a 225g pack (lasts a small dog 90 days) and is available from www.pawable.co.uk
