Meet Swayze. A golden retriever with a heart of gold, a love for café snacks, and a larger-than-life personality. To Sarah, he’s not just a pet—he’s family.

“He’s been with me since he was eight weeks old. He’s my best mate. The absolute love of my life.”

Now almost 12, Swayze has lived a big life. Together, Sarah and Swayze have done everything from showing and sports events to mountain hikes and dog diving. But a few years ago, Sarah noticed something had changed.

“He started giving little squeals when he moved—just tiny signs something wasn’t right. That’s when we went to the vet.”

After scans confirmed there was joint issues in his lower back, Sarah was ready to do anything to help her boy feel better. Thankfully, Swayze was already on Antinol®—and her vet was thrilled.

“We’d already been using Antino®l for years, but we increased his dose to support the change. Since then, no hiccups. No signs of pain. He was back to being Swayze.”

With just one extra capsule at night, Sarah saw a real difference. Within a week or two, Swayze was running, swimming, and even beating his younger sister Miss Flare to the toy at the beach.

“He runs up and down the stairs again. He swims, chases toys, wrestles with Flare. He’s back to loving every minute—and I know he’s not in pain.”

And it’s not just his joints.

“He used to get hot spots in warmer weather. Since being on Antino®l, not one. His coat is shiny. He’s healthy inside and out.”

Wherever Sarah goes, people are shocked to learn Swayze’s age.

“Everyone says he looks like he’s six. They’re blown away when I tell them he’s almost 12.”

Sarah's love for Swayze radiates through every word—and like any devoted pet parent, she just wants him to be happy and comfortable for as long as possible.

“I’ll do whatever I can to make this guy live forever.”
