Discount retailer Home Bargains is reporting soaring sales of its £5 pet wellness supplement Wag and Whisker Joint Care.

The group, which has over 600 stores nationwide, said the science-backed formulas were designed to support skin and coats, joints, and calming care for nervous pets

As well as seeing the product fly off the shelves Home Bargains reported that social media was full of delighted owners sharing stories of once-sluggish dogs getting their zoomies back and senior cats reclaiming the windowsill. 

One shopper said their pooch was “moving like a pup again” after just a couple of weeks on the glucosamine-packed treats. 

“You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can certainly give them a boost to their hips,” said Gary Harding, 38, dad dog to 8-year-old Nala. 

“Pets are part of our family, so why shouldn’t they be taking wellness supplements like we do?” 

Meanwhile, cat mum Hannah Ferrer reckons her tomcat 'Ron is starting to act like a human'.
