What's in Nature's Medicine Chest for Siff Canine Joints and Dog Agility Training?

Helping horses and dogs live healthier and happier lives, naturally.


Dogs that suffer from stiff joints can benefit from herbs in many ways that possibly you hadn’t thought of before. They can provide a means of enhancing your dog's quality of life by providing a safe form of flexibility and movement in the joints, critical to a dog's enjoyment of life.

Stiff joints can be as debilitating for animals as it is for humans and maintaining a healthy body before the onset of illness is an important part of preserving quality of life.

Herbal supplements that are completely natural and without the side effects often associated with synthetic drugs are fabulous for dog agility training. These herbs are also ideal for the older dog to help keep joints supple and help create good circulation.

Devil’s Claw is a particularly popular herb for the nutritional maintenance of the musculo-skeletal system and for dogs involved in agility training this is a wonderful supportive herb.

The herbal extract can help maintain joints, muscles and connective tissue in a strong and healthy condition, and can be hugely beneficial for bith the older dog and  the competitive dog as well.

We have had some fantastic comments from people who have tried our very own 'Nature's Free Mover,' which is used for maintaining joints and muscles in a healthy condition. Based in organic cider vinegar, the product contains Devil’s Claw, White Willow, Nettle, Meadowsweet, Hawthorn, Rosehips and Kelp.

Comments from Customers

“I'm absolutely thrilled and impressed with the results of 'Nature's Free Mover'. We have an 8 year old shepherd who was in a terrible state. The vet had put him on a course of drugs for his hips and basically it was completely knocking him out at night. The poor dog was so sedated he was wetting the bed and getting very distressed. We were all terribly upset watching him go down hill with no dignity left until my daughter suggested I try your herbal extracts. We have been amazed with the results. He is a completely different dog, up playing with the cat and running around like a young pup again. I wouldn't have believed it was possible. Well done and thank you.

My vet recommended your product as one of 2 herbal supplements that would assist in easing my dog back into enjoyment of life! - Well, I used the Nature's Free Mover in his water bowl - and he is definitely more active and happy than what he was! Not yet back up to our 1 1/2 hour walks, but we may never be again, but he is certainly bouncing after wild rabbits and chasing balls etc. Problem is, so is my elderly (20yr) cat who drinks out of the same water bowl!!

Dear Jackie, Your 'Free Mover' was of great benefit to our old dog Buffy in her last years. We thank you for your promptness in supplying us when we placed our order and for the useful tips in your newsletters. We wish your business every success and would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others pet owners. Regards Allan & Joan Collins
