Diesel was just three years old when disaster struck—both of his hips were dislocated in a single traumatic incident. It was a devastating injury, and we knew it meant a lifetime of pain. That moment changed everything for us. It’s when I first made the decision to find an all-natural solution—not just for Diesel’s pain, but for every pet like him.
As Diesel aged, the trauma from his injury caught up with him. The pain became more obvious. It was hard for him to get up and down. Running and playing were out of the question. The spark in his eyes started to fade.
The vet recommended conventional pain medications, but I knew the long-term damage they could do to his liver and kidneys. I didn’t want to trade one problem for another. That’s when we began researching. Testing. Blending. Refining. We were on a mission to bring Diesel relief without the harmful side effects.
The vet gave him six months—maybe less.
But Diesel wasn’t just our dog. He was the heart of our farm. A gentle giant who let the grandkids drag him from room to room, barn to barn, wherever they went. He was their horse, their pillow, their blanket, their protector. And I wanted to give him every chance to keep living that life—to be part of our family’s every day for as long as possible, and without pain.
That’s how the original Tucker Farms Pet Elixir was born. A few drops in the morning and a few at night kept Diesel comfortable, mobile, and truly living. Not just surviving—thriving.
And those “six months” the vet predicted? Diesel gave us four more beautiful years.
He lived pain-free. Happy. Loved. The vet was stunned by the difference. And I knew then—we had something real.
What started as a desperate attempt to save our dog became something so much bigger. Diesel’s journey laid the foundation for Tucker Farms Pet Meds. And because of him, countless other pets have found relief, comfort, and extra time with the families who love them just as much as we loved Diesel.
So if you’ve ever wondered where it all began—it began with a dog who refused to give up… and the family who refused to let him suffer.
