Dear Springtime,

I have a rescue Schipperke, Bono, who was diagnosed with a mild case of degenerative joint disease in his front right elbow after I got him. And these Fresh Factors have worked wonders for him. He isn't limping at all anymore.

Sincerely,
David Andersen, Indiana

Dear Springtime,

Your product Fresh Factors has changed my 11 year old chocolate Lab, Guinness! Fresh Factors was referred to me by a friend and in less than two months I have noticed a difference. He moves easier (actually runs again), his fur, which was suffering, is better and he is much more alert. I've sent you a great action picture of a very happy dog! I was out throwing the ball to Guinness this morning, and just a few months ago, he could barely get up!

Thanks for your product!

Dear Springtime,

Thank you for your product Fresh Factors - Lil' Bit is now a "soft touch!"

Dear Springtime,

A year ago, my beloved Husky/Shepherd, Luna, died at the age of 14 and a half. I had had her since she was one year old. A friend, who is also the town Dog Officer, recommended Fresh Factors for Luna, as she always gives them to her dogs and rather liked the results. I really believed it enabled her to live a full and rather long life. When I adopted Dakota (a mixed breed Australian Cattle Dog and Total Unknown rescue dog) I started her on Fresh Factors right away. The big surprise is that they are her favorite treat. At bedtime, when I give them to her, she rushes to get into position, wagging and smiling. After she eats the tablets, she insists on licking my hand, apparently looking for crumbs or powder. It has become one of the high points of our day.

Dear Springtime,

I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you so much for making such a wonderful Fresh Factors. I have an eight year old, large breed German Shepherd named Gracie and this past winter she began showing signs of major joint issues. Since I started her on Fresh Factors she has so much spunk again and loves to play with our three year old Shepherd, Samson. What a wonderful product you have! Thank you for caring about animals and making a product that is so beneficial to them and to their owners. We get to have our Gracie back and Samson has his playmate again!

Sincerely,
Terri Durand, New York

Dear Springtime,

I am a Big Fan of Springtime, even got a few friends to get Fresh Factors for their dogs. All of my dogs are on it. (Oh, that reminds me; I need some Joint Health Capsules for myself, LOL) I love the ingredients in Springtime's products and fully believe that the company is "in it" for the benefit of our pets. That goes a long way with me...

Again, Thank You!
Very Truly Yours,
Cindy Fischer and the "pack," New Jersey

Dear Springtime,

I am so proud of her! Corky is a terrific dog and I really believe Fresh Factors has allowed her to stay with me as long as she has. The photos I'm sending were taken last week. She was 14 years old in July! By the way, she flushed and retrieved the two pheasants she's "showing off" with her dad!

Meredith Flynn, New Jersey

Dear Springtime,

Fresh Factors has made my 11 year old Golden act like a three year old. Other people in the neighborhood have asked where she gets so much energy from and I reply "Fresh Factors." I carry a picture on my phone and email it to them. Several friends have purchased your product.

Dan Hall, Illinois

Dear Springtime,

To our shock and amazement my ten year old female beagle has the same ailment as my husband. Both have bad right hips. Thanks to your company, we have been using Fresh Factorss. It worked so well on the dog so now my husband is thinking about using Joint Health Capsules for his joint pain. Now this time we can't wait to try Fresh Factors with Joint Health Chewables.

Thanks Again,
Jean Herold, Utah

Dear Springtime,

We gave our daughter a Border Collie for her tenth birthday. She named him Elvis. He is now 14 ½ years old. A few months ago, he developed a growth by his left knee and was having difficulty walking. We took him to the vet, whom took an x-ray and said that Elvis probably had bone cancer and that his leg bone looked like a sponge. He was given less than two weeks to live.

About that time, I mentioned to a friend at work, Jeff Variel, what we were going through with our companion. He said he had these great vitamins he was going to bring and he'd like Elvis to try them. We were introduced to Fresh Factors. That was over three months ago. Although, we cannot take Elvis on long walks any longer, he has more energy and is in great spirits.

Elvis continues to eat his regular diet and takes two Fresh Factors vitamins per day; no prescription drugs. We just want to say, THANK YOU, for your wonderful product! You have changed our lives.

Respectfully,
Mary Lesowske, Oregon

Dear Springtime,

I have an eight year old Norwegian mix, Kate, which suffered a partial cruciate tear two years back. She has been on Fresh Factors since that time and has not had to have surgery. A recent exam has shown much improvement, and no sign of any tear. She also takes Joint Health Chewables in the winter months only. Awesome products!

Dear Springtime,

First, let me say thank you on behalf of Akita Rescue society of Florida (ARSF) for your generous donation of Springtime products. The Akitas are very appreciative, especially the old dogs. They feel better already.

Also, I'd like to thank you for the interest in my Akita, Maxx. He continues to do very well on the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. Within two weeks of my order, Maxx was a new dog. He moves as though he is five years old, not 11. Maxx and I thank you so much for your wonderful products and for helping my sweet boy have a new lease on life. He is such a wonderful old man. It's hard to imagine my life without him and thanks to Springtime, I'm hoping we will have more time.

I'd like to share a little about Maxx. I told you that I got him from ARSF, where he lived for eight years. He originally came into rescue at age eight months. He had run loose on a busy street corner for about five months and survived by local businesses trying to feed him and catch him. His owner, a seventeen year old young man had been hit by a car and killed; Maxx had been with him. In his rescue bio, Maxx was referred to as the modern day Hachiko. I'm sure you have heard the story of Hachiko, the loyal Akita from Japan. My Maxx never left the street corner, waiting for his master to return, until ARSF finally caught him.

As I said, he lived in rescue for eight years. People were interested, but Maxx was very fearful of people and would back away and bark at the ones who came to look at him. So he was never adopted. I came along and worked at building a relationship with him. It took a couple of months and then it happened. He is my best friend, and has now been my dog and fierce protector for almost four years.

So again, thank you for the difference your products have made to my friend's health and well being. I will be forever grateful.

Sincerely,
Carolyn Money, Florida

Dear Springtime,

Thank you for a fine product. My dog is 15 and without Fresh Factors, he has problems walking. With Fresh Factors, he runs off black bears and raccoons.

Kent Martin, New Mexico

Dear Springtime,

I was awaiting an order for Fresh Factors and comments made to me at a rally trial a couple of weeks ago came to mind. Several spectators were amazed that my six year old Bulldog, Delta Dawn, was able to compete in rally and still jump (eight inches is required for the jump for a dog her height) at her age. I attribute this athletic ability to Fresh Factors.

Delta Dawn's grandmother was seven when she showed signs of age-related joint symptoms and a friend recommended Fresh Factors. I immediately started her on it and there were no further indications of joint issues and she was able to romp around with her kids till the age of eleven. Her son showed some limping at age two and the vet talked surgery. I started him right up on Fresh Factors and he is now nine and a half and never had that surgery and is still keeping up with Delta Dawn. We decided to do preventive care with Delta Dawn and she's been on Fresh Factors since she was a little pup, and I feel it is due to Fresh Factors that we have those qualifying and placement ribbons we so proudly display. I always highly recommend Fresh Factors to fellow exhibitors.

Dear Springtime,

After Fera died in October of 2009, (she was 11 and had a stroke) I vowed to have no more dogs!

Well, Dec 6th I took in a miniature Poodle mix that had been picked up off the streets of LA in July and spent two months at animal control, where she was three days from being euthanized when Poodle Rescue found her.

Nobody even responded to her photos posted on the web. Her condition was horrible. I looked at her picture every day for a week before I took her.

Her coat and skin were worse than "horrible." I didn't know what to do. Then I remember the box of Fresh Factors, in the closet- unopened. Fera's last order.

I began giving them to Shannon. Her itching is gone, her skin is no longer red and her coat is beautiful and luxurious. The furnishings on her legs have all grown back.

I rescued another full bred Miniature Poodle at the end of January and put him on Fresh Factors immediately!

Both of these kids look forward to their "cookies" every morning. So glad they are scored because they can't handle a full tablet, but gobble down one cracked in half!

We are sure on the right track once again.

Thanks so much,
Bonnie Price, California

Dear Springtime,

Fresh Factors are great! I have a Samoyed, Cherokee, who has skin allergies and had lost most of his beautiful coat. I started him on Fresh Factors and his coat is more beautiful than ever. The vet wanted to put him on allergy shots but we tried the Fresh Factors and it is like a miracle to us and Cherokee! Thank you for all of your products. I tell everyone that has animals to try it.

Leslie Rainwater, Texas

Dear Springtime,

I have done business with you for many years. I feel Fresh Factors really helped my German Shepherd. He lived to be fourteen years old, and it helped his hind quarters noticeably.

I now have a 3 ½ year old golden Labrador named Cody and started him on them early. He is a beautiful dog, helped along by Fresh Factors. Cody is in great shape. Who wouldn't be at 3 ½ years old?

Dear Springtime,

I have all my dogs, young and old, on Fresh Factors. I use Fresh Factors to supplement a home prepared, all natural, raw diet that I am now using instead of (supposedly high quality) commercial dog food. Prior to the switch, I had a very itchy Poodle who scratched all night and kept me up, a Yorkie/Pom/Terrier type who vomited bile EVERY day and had cherry eye, and a black Lab who constantly gobbled up inanimate objects, and ended up needing major surgery to remove shrink wrap from her stomach. Since the switch of the diet and addition of Fresh Factors, the Poodle is no longer itchy, the Terrier, Buttonhead, never vomits anymore, has gained weight, looks better, and his cherry eye is about 80% reduced. And the Lab has stopped her bizarre gobbling of objects. I also have the Lab on Joint Health Formula. I absolutely love your products and feel I would never be without them. I think of all the money I have saved on my vet bills since I started Fresh Factors and natural diet. I love your products!

Susan Trapkin, Maryland

Dear Springtime,

I just love Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Fresh Factors! I can't believe my Australian Shepherd, Savannah, has no fleas or ticks. Her digestion has improved and her coat is so shiny. My mother purchased these products and I will be a repeat customer.

Vicky Long, Missouri

Dear Springtime,

I just felt I had to write and tell you what great results I have had using your Longevity product and Fresh Factors. I have a Champion smooth Dachshund that for the last two falls into winters has totally blown his coat and gotten a very sparse coat with a dry, brittle feel to it. This fall he was just shown at Dachshund Club of America and his overall appearance and condition has never been better! His coat shines and his musculature is just gorgeous! I just wanted to write and say thank you! I am sure it is due to the use of your products.

Janice Kenney, Connecticut

Dear Springtime,

I want to thank you for manufacturing quality products. My Lab, Lucy, has had severe allergies for the past six years. She has been on many different medications and injections and I was washing her with topical shampoos to keep the allergens off of her. She was tested at a doggie dermatologist and she is allergic to every grass and tree in Florida. She has been on a special grain-free diet and still had to take medications to keep her from chewing off her feet and skin.

A friend told me about the Springtime supplements. I have tried several others that were twice as expensive and they never worked, so I thought I would try ONE more time and what a miracle happened. I started Lucy on Omega 3-6-9 and Fresh Factors and doubled the dose for her weight. Within one month, I had her almost completely weaned from her medications. She is so much better now; her coat is so soft and she hardly sheds. She rarely chews on her feet, only with normal cleaning behavior. We now have a new Chocolate Lab, Molly, and I have started her on the supplements. Her coat and skin are looking fabulous. I am so pleased with the outcome of these wonderful products. I will be ordering the Bug Off Garlic since now the mosquito and flea season is here.

Thank you so much Springtime,
Deanna Geyer-Trier, "Lucy" and "Molly," Florida

Dear Springtime,

We started buying from Springtime when we lived in Lafayette, IN. My two dogs have been using your goodies since 2003. We then left for Canada in 2005 and then on to India in 2007 and our dogs continued to enjoy your good stuff. I have now come back to USA and we still buy from Springtime since they are really good for our dogs. The Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables have been very beneficial for our dogs. They are getting old now and we see that the Joint Health Chewables has helped them tremendously. The Stress Free Calmplex is also something we would recommend for hyper dogs. Our dogs, Buddy and Nikki, say a special thanks to Springtime. As I promised, here are their photos. Buddy is the black one and Nikki the golden one.

Thanks,
Satish Rao, Illinois

Dear Springtime,

My rescue Greyhound has been with me now for exactly three years and stands 30" tall and weighs 96 lbs of solid muscle tone and body substance without an ounce of fat on him.

I contribute this to being given Springtime, Inc. supplements from day one - Fresh Factors, Stress Free Calmplex, and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. As of January of 2010, he will turn six years of age and is the picture of health.

Joan E. Forsythe, Wisconsin

Dear Springtime,

I have been using your products for several months now and couldn't be happier with the results... Our two aging huskies had slowed down due to joint issues and one had trouble tolerating every other brand of joint support we offered her (lots of puking). With Fresh Factors, she gets just what she needs with no tummy upset! We use Joint Health Chewables for her sister Nikki as she tore her ACL last year. Our two Cavalier Spaniel boys needed a little support to make that leap onto the "big bed"(that's our bed) and thanks again to Fresh Factors we no longer are serenaded by whimpering and whining during late night forays off the big bed in search of whatever it is dogs search for in the dead of night when they should be sleeping peacefully!

My horses shine (Spirulina Wafers and Bee Pollen), and are as bite-free as horses can be living in the coastal swamp of North Carolina (Bug Off Garlic). Never have supplements been so readily consumed. I use the Spirulina Wafers for trick training... now that's an endorsement! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Our orders will keep coming and hopefully more from friends on Facebook (where I gave you a shout out) and my blog, where I have you linked.

Thanks again!

Dear Springtime,

Your products are fabulous. I have written before about my little dog, Albert. Albert passed away last April at 15 and a half years old. He is still on your website and I truly believe he lived his last years in complete comfort and happiness because of your products.

When Albert passed I got a new Boston Terrier/French Bulldog mix puppy named Samson. We knew he was "different" right off the bat but got him anyway. His mother had tried to eat him as a couple day old puppy, so he has a massive, deep scar on the left side of his head and some scar tissue on the right. He had bad balance, always stumbling, leaning, bumping into things, and even falling over. We figured that he had suffered head trauma in the accident with his Mom. The veterinarians we go to gave us advice on the things we could look into to help him... surgery and medication. I am very much against medicating my animals unless it is a last ditch effort. He was a ten week old puppy and just as happy as could be, and he didn't know he was different.

After a couple of months, Samson started rolling. He would shake his head, fall over, and roll several times. Then he would jump up and run around. Talk about shocking the first time that happened. Well, three veterinarians and a lot of emotional turmoil later, I signed over the puppy. We just could not find out what was wrong with him. A week went by and they did not put him down but rather found a foster home for him. I called and wanted my baby back, and got him back! I figured that I adopted him knowing he had some issues and needed to help this little guy the most I could.

Then, while getting his shots, the vet tech cleaned his ears and found Samson was lacking something that pretty much explained all his actions. He has no opening to his ear canal on the right side! This throws his equilibrium and his balance off. WOW, what a discovery! Upon finding this out, I immediately put him on Fresh Factors and Longevity because they both are great all around products that can help with inflammation. Since we could not see in his ear canal, we did not know if there was inflammation or even normal ear anatomy in there. Fast forward nine months, Samson is still running, playing, destroying toys, and being as obnoxious as a puppy can be. We have not done surgery on his ear because he is very happy, not in pain, and knows no different. He has adjusted himself to live with his "uniqueness," no longer rolls and his balance is getting better and better. I truly believe that Springtime products have helped him along this crazy journey we are on. We will continue to use these products as I feel they have been a huge benefit for him. We also use both products mentioned above for our long haired dog that has terrible skin allergies. He no longer itches after taking these products. Thank You!

I also have my horses, 20 year old Leo, and 22 year old Nandy, on J-Flex Concentrate. It is unbelievable how they are able to get around. I am still competing on both of them in barrel racing and Nandy will be helping two young girls in 4H this year.

Dear Springtime,

Recently I received one of your catalogs. I have four dogs and fifteen horses so you can imagine my mailbox is flooded everyday with catalogs, etc. I usually don't take the time to look at them but this is the first time I received one from Springtime. The cover said Natural Supplements for Horses, Dogs, and People which caught my interest.

I have a Basset Hound (Elvis) who is allergic to the world and has been tested for allergies (food and the environment) and recently finished the injections to boost his immune system. A couple months ago Elvis hurt his back and the vet limited him to activities and NO steps. He put him on pain meds which only masked his injury. I bought a ramp to get him in and out of the truck as he gets a bath every week with special shampoo for his sensitive skin. I decided to research Springtime's website and was amazed at all the satisfied customers! I placed my first order for my horses, dogs, and people!

One of my horses (Chubby) was diagnosed with COPD and I ordered the DMG 5,600 for coughing. She has been on DMG for about a month and is now able to eat hay instead of alfalfa cubes which gets very expensive every week and she is cough free!

My husband (Norm) hurt his knee in November 2009 and had an MRI. They told him time would heal it. He had terrific pain and wore a knee brace all the time. Norm had been taking three of the Joint Health Capsules and two Tonic Blend tablets every day for about a month and has very little pain and hasn't worn the knee brace for a couple of weeks! He couldn't believe it. He is kind of a doubting Thomas on things so he was a little skeptical trying this. He said something sure helped. Must be Springtime! He takes it religiously every day!

As for Elvis, he is on Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, Omega 3-6-9, and ½ tablet of Spirulina twice a day. I actually feel good about feeding him all these supplements. I know all natural will help him and he won't be affected from all the meds from the vet. I ordered a couple of organic treat books and went to our local health marked to purchase organic supplies to make dog treats since Elvis is limited to what he can eat. Spoiled? He is worth it! He is my best friend. I rescued him from a bad situation when he was nine months old and tied to a tree for target practice. He was in bad shape when I got him. He is now eight years old. He is doing terrific thanks to Springtime. I can't believe the difference in his skin and coat; no shedding, no flakes, and shiny. He is very happy and playing again. You can see it in his big brown eyes! He even tried to jump on the couch which is his favorite spot and he hasn't been able to do that in months. I have also cut his bathing down to once a month!

As for me, I am taking the Tonic Blend and Spirulina Tablets. With each order I have passed along to my friends the extra books you packed in the boxes. I have several dog friends and told them about the results I have had with Elvis. It is funny, everyone knows Elvis in town. Your customer service is wonderful. I had several questions regarding Elvis before I ordered to make sure he would not be allergic to any of your products. They were very knowledgeable and helpful.

Enclosed are a couple of pics of Elvis. He is the KING! He was crowned King at the Bow Wow Luau to help raise money for the Humane Society. He was adorable and managed to raise $300 from local sponsors.

Please keep up the good work! We are the Springtime family! In the long run, we are saving money on vet bills and we are all happy!

Thanks again,
Cheri Meyer, Missouri
