Amanda shared this story about her dog, Tessa, and how she has become a #GlydeDog!

"Tessa is my Australian shepherd that was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at 2-years-old. She is now 5-years-old with deteriorating hips.

My veterinarian recommended [Glyde™ Mobility Chews](https://store.parnell.com/products/glyde-chews) to see if they would bring her some pain relief. Within a week, we saw a huge improvement! She is in less pain and moving better.

Tessa is able to play and chase her brother with no limping afterwards. Being from Buffalo, she loves playing in the snow. Thanks to Glyde, she can push through several feet of snow with no problems. Getting up from a lying position is also easier for her. We are so happy to see her moving around and enjoying life. We definitely recommend Glyde!
