Behavioral Support Success Stories

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,

Thank you so much for your fast shipping service! I really appreciate this. And, your products that I give my dogs are fantastic! Longevity is helping to keep my Chow mix active and in much less pain. Stress Free Calmplex has made my fearful Whippet practically fearless! She no longer trembles and hides during rain and windstorms!
Thanks again,
Sherry Sampson, Nevada

I just wanted you to know how ecstatic I am about your Stress Free Calmplex chewables for dogs. Meeko is two years old and has been a very nervous dog just as many years. We were having trouble keeping his weight up even on high pro food. He has been on the Stress Free Calmplex for three and a half weeks and has gained quite a bit of weight! He seems to be a lot happier, too! We also use the Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Chewables for our two other dogs, and some of the human products for ourselves. We are very satisfied with all of the products.

I am a volunteer with Shorewood Cocker Rescue. We are a 501C3 dog rescue that has been in business for 25 years now. Our mission is to rescue Cocker Spaniels in bad situations and find them forever homes where they can spend the rest of their lives being loved and taken care of. I personally use Springtime Stress Free Calmplex on some of my older nervous dogs and especially like how it works on puppy mill rescue dogs. It makes a world of difference!
Here is a picture taken about three months ago for the local paper. The little girl Cocker in my lap is Lacy, and she was a foster/mill dog that had the advantage of taking the Stress Free Calmplex for about a month before she was adopted. The boy in the picture is my son, Alex, who is my helper. The little red Cocker perched in the back of the sofa is Daisy, currently in permanent foster with us as she is in kidney failure. The rest of the mangy crew are my boys. The one we give Stress Free Calmplex to and call it his happy pill is not in the picture, but it certainly has benefited him, and they ALL love it like a treat.
Sincerely,

I have two Chocolate Labs, Rocky and Zeus, and I adore them. They are my children. My wild child, Rocky, has epilepsy. Since I have been giving him the Stress Free Calmplex I have noticed that his seizures are not as frequent as before. I do believe that it does help a great deal along with his medication form our vet. Both of my children, Rocky and Zeus, have both benefitted from this product as you can see in the picture. Thank you so much for a product that works.

I have a 12 month old Havanese puppy named Mikey who had a growth plate injury at around three months of age. He became quite lame and after several trips to the vet he was x-rayed and it was discovered that due to the growth plate injury, his ulna stopped growing while his radius bone continued to grow thus causing him to have a crooked leg and a severe limp. After two months of being on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) he no longer limps and is a very active happy dog. It is truly a miracle. Thank you, Springtime.

We started using Fresh Factors when Emmett, our English bulldog mix, had a spiral fracture to his right leg in January 2008. Emmett had already had a total hip replacement and a TPLO on one knee when the accident happened. Texas A&M set Emmett's leg with a steel rod and an external fixture and advised us we were in for at least 14 weeks of grueling attentive cleaning and care to pull our sweet Emmett to mobile status again. After just 10 weeks the doctors at Texas A&M were amazed at Emmet's healing progress and removed the external fixture, FOUR WEEKS EARLY. They had to know what we were feeding Emmett. We explained that the week we brought Emmett home after they had set his leg, we received a catalogue from Springtime and ordered Fresh Factors to give it a try. The results were amazing. Thank you.

I am so grateful for your products and the quality of life it has provided our very loved, four legged members of our family. Kiya, our Akita, has been having a lot of breathing issues (my vet said it is similar to COPD, and we don't smoke). It was breaking our hearts to think of putting her down, but it had gotten to where she had been having accidents, and was unable to make it outside because the cold took her breath away. I began giving her the Fresh Factors ground up in her food with a couple of raw eggs and some of the Bug Off Garlic Chewables. She was also on some prednisone from the vet. In less than two weeks, she was able to get up and willingly go outside on her own! Amazing! She still had some trouble with labored breathing, but she hadn't collapsed and I didn't see her tongue turn blue. I then ordered more Fresh Factors and added the Joint Health Chewables. I also decided to chance a try at the Breather Powder, as the vet said her symptoms were similar to heaves in horses. Kiya is 100 pounds, and I gave her about ¼ teaspoon mixed in with her dinner. Now her breathing seems less labored, and once again, she got up and out. Her eyes look brighter and she is more alert. She was sleeping so much more before.
Spirit has had problems with chronic yeast infections in her ears, and had been a nervous chewer, gnawing on her front legs, which she has stopped since taking her Fresh Factors. She takes them like a treat but Kiya won't, so we crush them into a powder.
I didn't want to make this so lengthy, but I always tell my friends about the summer when Spirit was attacked by bees. She had been on her Bug Off Garlic Chewables since March and the incident happened in late August. My young son was walking his "puppy" and hooked her leash to a log on the wood pile. None of us had noticed bees there before, but when the dog pulled they swarmed her. Fortunately, we had the hose on, as we were watering the horses. I called the vet, who advised us to give her benedryl, and to watch her for seizures or shock. I picked several bees out of her fur, and noticed that while she was covered in bees, there were no welts, and no evidence she had been stung. I later looked on the internet and read of several instances where dogs had died from similar events. All I can say is thank God she was on Bug Off Garlic Chewables!
My husband and I use and love the joint health for people too.
Thank you for the wonderful products and great service!
Paula Carroll, Illinois

I love these products. My 12 year old pup, Conor, has been suffering from recurring skin infections for over three years. Since his last round of antibiotics, I put him on Fresh Factors and he has had very minimal recurrences of the problem. And, his coat looks terrific! Glad I came back!
Nancy and "Conor" Crawford, Delaware

I can't remember who I spoke with when I placed the last order, but I told her I'd send a picture of my dog Chip. He turned 9 in May and we will be celebrating nine years together later this month. I found out about Fresh Factors in the mid '90s when I had a Shepherd mix named Bud. He had torn his ACL and developed some joint issues in the knee a couple of years later. The vet had him taking pain medication, but a co-worker told me about Fresh Factors. Because of your product, I was able to stop giving the pain medication to Bud. He passed away in 2002, and I ended up adopting Chip (possibly an Anatolian Shepherd mix). I decided to start giving Fresh Factors to Chip a couple of years ago just for preventative maintenance purposes. The attached photo was taken in December when we were on vacation in Florida. Even at age 9, Chip has lots of energy and can outrun many dogs half his age.
Thanks for keeping your product reasonably priced!
Mary Dick, Virginia

Last December, I took my little brown dog, Gracie, to my vet at least three times for a treatment for terrible lick granuloma that she had on her rear leg. She was put onto a protocol of antibiotics and several other drugs to help her heal. Unfortunately, none of them worked.
I decided that going natural was the key to our success. I adjusted her diet cutting out corn, wheat, soy and dairy, and I added Fresh Factors and Omega 3-6-9. Today, almost a year later, she is not licking anymore, and her leg has healed (and she has great skin and a beautiful coat)! I'd love to say that it is a miracle, but I am more convinced that you simply provide a good product that does what it says. Thank you – I look forward to shopping with you for many more years.
Charis Gaines & "Gracie, the Super Monkey," Florida

Our dog, Elmo, was born with many physical problems, which we have tried to care for. Fresh Factors was recommended to me by a friend for Elmo's joints. After a couple of months, I saw great improvement in my dog's walking. Thanks for a great product.
Sincerely,
Ray and Sue Hopkins, Massachusetts

Just got my order, boy, you are fast. Springtime Fresh Factors makes my dogs healthy and is great for their hips.
Thanks again,
Marty & Sheila Knapp, Kansas

One of my members (of Majesty Rottweiler Rescue, Inc.), Mr. Jim Wells, has been purchasing your products for a very long time and simply raves about the wonderful affects it has on the dogs. This was proven to me when we took in two senior Rottie boys, Jimmy and Sammy, who were in terrible shape. They were very skinny, their coats were very dull and falling out and they had hot spots in several places. They both looked so old and in such bad shape we really didn't hold out much hope for them. Mr. Wells purchased your Fresh Factors and they were given as prescribed every day, and within no time both their coats became soft, silky and stopped falling out, and the hot spots went away completely. To say I was amazed is truly an understatement. I was thrilled; we started giving Fresh Factors to all of the pups who came in along with our own.
Sincerely,
Terry Robertson, Maryland

"… no better feeling in this world than to see my dogs walk pain-free, run, swim, or play ball again."


About a year ago, I had written a letter regarding my German Shepherds, JR and Emma. At the time, I started using Fresh Factors. My 11 year old male, JR, was blind with an old injury in his leg from an accident. My 11 year old female, Emma, had cancer, two mammary tumors and a tumor consuming 47% of her abdomen. She had been given two days to two weeks, max, to live. Both were in terrible pain, we were carrying both outside, and they could barely walk. I had made plans for euthanasia for both. Thanks to your wonderful products I was able to cancel those plans. I was so happy with the results that I began giving all eight of my dogs your products! I've ordered Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Bee Pollen, and Stress Free Calmplex, and I have not been disappointed!
Although a month ago, I lost my beloved JR to bone cancer, I am happy to report that Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) greatly improved his quality of life until the end. Emma is still going strong at 12! I am also thrilled to report that a recent trip to the vet shows that one of her mammary tumors is dead, the other mammary tumor and the tumor in her abdomen have STOPPED growth! I am attaching photos of Emma (black & tan) with her eight year old sister, Ada (black & tan longcoat), It is clear that they are both doing very well! Even the vet is pleased with the improved health of the dogs. I'm pleased that we make far less trips to his office!
I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am to my Mom for suggesting the use of your products, or to Springtime for making these miracle working products. There was no better feeling in this world than to see my dogs walk pain-free, run, swim, or play ball again. I was given the gift of an additional quality year with JR and I've been given the gift of an additional year and counting with Emma.
Rest assured, I will continue to recommend your products to others and give samples from my private stock. I will be a guaranteed customer for life! Thank you so very much!
Sincerely,
Christi Stroud, Ohio

I have enclosed a picture of my Pugs. We started using Fresh Factors in '96, and our Pug, Tigger, was 9 years old at the time. She had degeneration of the spinal cord. She had lost use of her hind legs and we got her a wheel chair and in the spring of '96 she began losing control of her bowels. I had received your catalog in the mail, so I ordered Fresh Factors. Within two weeks Tigger was back to playing with her sister Banjo. It was amazing to say the least! She had regained control of her bowels and lived seven more happy years. We have had all of our pugs on Fresh Factors and just last year we put Columbo on Joint Health Chewables full time. They love Bee Pollen too – they beg for that! Banjo lived to be 17 years old, we just lost her last summer. I know their longevity is due to your products.
Amanda Branham, Ohio

I have had really good luck with your products – that's why I've reordered. I had bought Fresh Factors a long time ago for one of my dogs that had hip problems. It helped her a lot right up till the end and now I have two more that are having trouble. I received a flyer from you (since I had lost the number) and remembered how well it worked, so I ordered for them. I just reordered so I don't run out!
Thank you,
DuAnn Goode, Texas

I just wanted to tell you how wonderful your product Stress Free Calmplex is. After having loads of friends tell me I should try it with my dog (we call her EV for short, or also Evilicious or Evil EV), I decided to try it when a friend gave me a jar. Boy, what a difference it makes! It has really helped her focus. I was so impressed I decided to buy some of the Tonic Blend and try that on myself for my jangled nerves in the show ring. I am now showing my dogs stress free.
Thanks, Springtime, for your wonderful products,
Laura Gilchrist, Maryland

the school children.
Our dog, Elmo Freckles, a black Lab/Great Dane mix, is 28 months old and has been quite a handful for a 91 year old woman to take care of. That is, until I found your product Stress Free Calmplex. Freckles also takes Bug Off Garlic Chewables for the flies we have here, and Fresh Factors for his allergies.
Freckles likes to sit on the scooter and watch the kids go to school.
Thanks, Springtime, for your wonderful products.
Roberta Jablonski, Nevada

My Jaco had a nasty ear discharge from the day we rescued him. Just the one ear had black tar-like goo that would eventually harden into black clumps. It stunk and it irritated him. He would shake his head a lot. I tried all sorts of washes and drops, as well as professional cleaning and prescriptions from the vet. Nothing seemed to work, including changing diet. Years of effort went into trying to help Jaco, but no results.
Then we started using your Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Chewables, and I received a bottle of Stress Free Calmplex as a bonus. I didn't think I needed it, so it sat on the shelf for a while. When I did get around to using it, simply adding a tablet to his breakfast, the ear problem went away within a few weeks. Hooray! His sweet little ears smell good and there's no more head shaking. Just lots of time for playing ball!
Thank you for such great products!
Arita Trahan, California

We have been providing our three Greyhounds (Lucy, Ricky and Madonna) with Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) for about four years now. It is remarkable to us just how healthy they are. Ricky, at age 11 1/2, would whimper each time he would rise from his bed. Since taking your products, we have not heard a sound. Lucy, at age 10 1/2, to this day runs around our house daily and effortlessly without issue. But lastly, our Madonna at age 14 and 9 months, even though she is deaf, blind in one eye and her rear legs have weakened due to age, still jumps on and off our deck six times a day. We take very good care of our Greyhounds, but truly believe that the Combo has contributed in a positive way to their longevity.
Any chance we get, we tell our dog families of your wonderful products!
Cathe, Dennis, "Lucy, Ricky and Madonna" Farkas, Ohio

This is Wulfie. He has been on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) since six weeks old. He is now seven!
Best Regards,
Marcel Satalic, Indiana

I have used your Fresh Factors products for about a year now, and highly endorse them for my champion Bichon Frise dogs. One of the dogs, up until recently, has had repeated hot spots. She not only enjoys the tablets as "treats," she also has had clear skin for a number of months now, since using Fresh Factors. This has been outstanding - and what I consider a success for us. Thank you so much.
Susan Anneser, Connecticut

Here is a picture of Boomer taken September 2012 running on the beach! He turned 11 years old July 21, 2012. He still enjoys the beach very much and always comes running back out of the water! He gets six Fresh Factors a day, and has been on them for several years now, and as I have said before, he will always be on them!
He went for his six month checkup the first week of October. His vet gave him a clean bill of health and raved at what good condition he is in. He even went so fat to say that if I told him I had just adopted Boomer and told him that he was 11 years old, that he would not believe me! He said that he would not put Boomer past six years old if he was examining him for the first time. He calls Boomer the energizer bunny.
Boomer is still a happy, bouncy guy – my little Tigger because when I get home and he gets one of his favorite treats, he still bounces up and down on his front legs! I wanted to send this to you, because I know you guys care about animals as much as I do.
Thank you all,
Kay Durant, California

I have given Fresh Factors to my dogs and have seen good results. I have a cat named Rudy that had skin sores that would seem to clear up for a while and then return (no fleas). Rudy enjoys eating the Fresh Factors and I have seen a big difference in only a few days of giving him between ½ and a full tablet a daily. Therefore, I am ordering more to be sure I don't run out.
Thank you,
Patricia & "Rudy" Farley, New Jersey

A few years ago, one of my own dogs was having some joint issues. He was routinely on vet prescribed medication. This was something I did not want him on long term. I discovered Fresh Factors at that time. After a short while on that he felt better; he had no stiffness, no limp and was completely off medication to this day. Since then, I have put all of my four dogs on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. I have three 13 year olds that the vet tells me are in excellent shape.
Because I am president and run the Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation, I put all my rescue dogs on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables and even some even on Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables (dogs above the age of five and/or have problems). We have had to do multiple surgeries for hip dysplasia and valgus deformity as well as ACL injury/tears. All of our rescue dogs do better with Fresh Factors,Joint Health Chewables and Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables.
I highly recommend this product for any dog having issues or even dogs advancing in age as a preventative. I know it works, because I have seen the results. I trust the product and I know I am giving my own dogs and my rescue dogs something safe for them that will help them.
Thank you, Springtime,
Regina Harman
President, Southern Nevada Beagle Rescue Foundation

I have been feeding Fresh Factors to my Rottweiler, Rudy Carl, for seven years. And, in addition, Joint Health Chewables Joint Health Chewables for the last five. He is over 10 years old and you would NEVER know it. He looks and acts like a young dog. I attribute this primarily to Fresh Factors, but also toJoint Health Chewables . Other than some gray hairs on his chin, you would never know his age. His coat is beautiful, his eyes are clear; he has lots of energy and still bounces up and down like he has since he was a puppy.
I have had great experiences giving samples ofFresh Factors to friends. One had an older Rottweiler. After a month or so on Fresh Factors, the UPS driver came to the house. Not knowing, of course, about the new supplement, the UPS guy commented on how great the dog looked and asked the owners, "What happened to Thor? He looks great and has so much energy!"
I swear by your products for dogs.
Thank you,
Erin House, Michigan

I am writing as testimony to the Fresh Factors. I have a 9 year old dog, Beau, who has bad hips. He limps and is very stiff. The vet put him on pain medication. However, I could not get him to take the pills. I tried hiding them in the food, in cheese, hot dogs, etc. He would eat the food and spit the pill out. I tried to pill him and he would "gack" the pill back up. Every day was a fight or a wasted pill.
I bought the Fresh Factors and after a week or so, I swear he wasn't limping any longer. He is much more limber and he LOVES the taste of the Fresh Factors.
Thanks for a great product!
Donna Kennedy, Ohio

We are enclosing a picture of our Bruno after a day of playing at a nearby lake and beach. He's a six month old West German Shepherd. He's such a joy in our lives! We give him Fresh Factors every day. His coat is just beautiful! Thank you for having such a great product.
Sincerely,
Alan & Kathy Kusenko, Pennsylvania

I started our Golden Retriever, Ms. Muffin, on the Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Chewables last fall. She had suffered from severe skin allergies and her bowel movements smelled awful! Remarkable is all we can say… This has been the best summer she's had in three long years, and our weather here has been really hot. I would recommend these products to anyone!
Sandy Pearl, Kentucky

Our shelter-adopted Shepherd Mix, Jesse, has been getting your Fresh Factors almost since we got him over a year ago...and we frequently get comments how good his coat looks.
You can tell he's happy to be up in the mountains!
John Watson, Colorado

Here is a photo of our three dogs who thrive on Springtime products. Isabella (Bella) the Airedale is almost nine years old, Buster the Boxer was one in December, and Willhelmus (Willy) the Standard Schnauzer will be three years old next week. Our previous Boxer, Mr. Cassius was almost 12 when he passed, and Fresh Factors played an important role in his longevity.
Bella is on the Joint Health Chewables, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, and Fresh Factors and when a storm is brewing she also gets the Stress Free Calmplex. Bella is much better about the thunder storms now - she has been wearing a Thunder Shirt, but the Stress Free Calmplex has definitely lessened her anxiety.
Buster gets Joint Health Chewables, Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. Willy gets Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. None of the dogs have had any problems with fleas or other bugs bothering them. The Joint Health Chewables I give to the big dogs, as they would probably experience aches and pains in their joints first. We have used Fresh Factors for years now, but the additional products are making even more of a difference. Thank you again for the wonderful products!
Best wishes,
Lyn & Emil Bove, New York

I was doing a Greyhound adoption meet and greet last weekend and overheard a dog trainer talking to a couple who had a young German Shepherd. She was telling them to get some supplements to keep their dogs' joints healthy. I waited for the couple to walk out of the class and told them to check out the Joint Health Chewables from Springtime. I know a number of greyhound parents who have their hounds on it and they do very well. My Greyhound, Peace, just turned 12 yesterday. She ran 177 races and had two litters of puppies. She doesn't act stiff when she gets out, no limping or joint discomfort. She has been on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) for the last 3 years. I recommend your products to all the new adopters.
Thanks again,
Janice, "Luka," and "Peace" Brinegar, illinois

Josh and I adopted Jax on July 7, 2013 from Wisconsin Rottweiler Rescue in Madison, WI. In the few short months that we have had Jax he has been an amazing addition to our family. He does so well with all of our nieces and nephews and they all can't wait to see him when he visits or when they visit us.
We knew shortly after we got Jax that he had some issues with his back legs and took him to the vet to have it checked and they monitor him. We then enrolled him in puppy school with Cindy Steinke at K9 Elementary who noticed what we had about his leg problems and recommended that we check out the Springtime website and maybe try starting Jax on Fresh Factors.
I saw results with Jax's ease of movement within the first few weeks of him taking Fresh Factors. His comfort level is so much better and he is acting like the 2 year old dog he truly is instead of being sore and stiff all the time. I'm so glad that we were recommended Fresh Factors for Jax. He is doing so much better since being on Fresh Factors that we are going to continue him on them in the future.
Thank you so much,
Megan, Josh and "Jax" Spatz, Wisconsin

I want to let you know that I had my doggies on these supplements for a while now (Fresh Factors, Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Omega 3-6-9) and I ran out about a month ago. The budget was pretty tight and I didn't reorder until now (bad dog mom!). Within a few weeks of stopping their "goodies," both of my dogs started shedding heavier (I have Siberian Huskies – so that's a BIG deal!) and have gone back to their former itchy selves. It's not quite as bad as it was before because I am feeding an ultra-high quality dog food now, but the difference in them when they are on your products versus being off your products is very significant. They still have beautiful coats when off, but they also have less shine.
I am sold, and I won't let them run out again!
Dixie & Ken Brooks, Georgia


I have been a customer since the '90's, lost my dogs in 2009, and now I'm back with a new puppy, Libby, a tripod. I love Springtime products and have sent you so many customers over the years. Every time a friend would tell me her dog was getting stiff, slowing down, etc., I would give them a small bottle of Fresh Factors and a few weeks later they would be thanking me profusely.
This action photo shows what a terrific stride Libby has with only three legs.
Keep up the good work!
Joneen Calhoun, Washington

I love your company, that's all. Fresh Factors have been a great help to me and my dogs over the years. And I have turned on many of my friends to your products. You help us humans as well, of course. Peace of mind and much lower vet bills are just two of the benefits! You are the best!
Holly Chabbott, New York

I want to thank you for making a wonderful product. My wife and I have a 15 ½ year old Chow Chow named Peekaboo. A little over two years ago her veterinarian thought she had just a few days to live. She had stopped eating for over a week and after some x-rays he told us that it looked as though she had stomach cancer. She was vomiting and passing blood. Things looked really bad for our girl. We had tried so many different things trying to get her to eat with no success.
After trying everything I could think of, I remembered Fresh Factors ... Something unbelievable happened when she got the nourishment from the Fresh Factors – our girl wanted to live again!
Now, over two years later she is still doing very well, getting two Fresh Factors per day ever since. She is over 110 years old in dog years and still doing well. She acted like a puppy last summer when we took her to the Bighorn Mountains for a week. There is nothing like seeing your very old dog enjoy life like she did in her younger years. I don't know how much more time she has, but I know for a fact that Fresh Factors has given us nearly 2 ½ quality years we almost didn't have.
You folks make products that give so much more than you know. The extra time we've had with Peekaboo is something we will cherish forever!
Thank you!
Mike, Alta & "Peekaboo" Ludlow, Wyoming

I wanted you to know that after 20 years, I'm still a Springtime friend and customer. I've told so many people about Springtime, and I'm so proud of your products.
I have attached a picture of George, my sweet boy. Isn't he the best? He's a gorgeous 5 yr old brindle and white Bulldog, and has always been so very healthy. He has been on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, and Bug Off Garlic Chewables since they were each 10 weeks old.
Thank you, again, for being who you are. Much love to all our friends at Springtime!
Kate Mulderig, North Carolina

Thank you! I was just at the Humane Society getting our 11 year old black Lab/Border's blood sugars checked (he's been diabetic and on insulin for two years.) Our life time Vet can't believe how well Shadow is doing, as he has not gone blind and is really thriving -- it's the Fresh Factors. While there, I also recommended it to a woman with a dog she'd just adopted who had a leg that had been broken and set twice. I shared with her that our Humane Society adopted "lame-legged" Louie is completely fine, with no leg problems and runs like a pup-champ with a smile!
Thanks again, from our family & our three beloved pups!
Phyllis Nodler, Idaho

Springtime service is excellent! You order stuff and get it in just a couple of days! I have a young cat named Sam that injured himself somehow and obviously had back, hip, and shoulder pain. He either fell out of a tree or off my second floor porch, I'm thinking. He got a little better, and then got sore again so I ordered Fresh Factors for him - a product I have used in the past with great success! After a couple of days taking Fresh Factors he is like a different cat! Great products, great service!
Diana Reid, Tennessee

Amoke was the fifth dog we've given Fresh Factors to, and I'm certain it extended her life and her comfort. She was adopted from the city pound as a six to nine month old pup in June of 1994. She'd been on Fresh Factors since she was about six years old.
She was extremely devoted to my husband who spoiled her with many treats and she generally ignored the rest of us. We thought she would pine away when he succumbed to lung cancer in 2009, but she didn't. She continued to go up and down the steps to the back yard until the day she died, at the end of April 2013. She was 19 years old, or as the veterinarian told us, 106 in human years.
Phyllis Rude, Alaska

Just a quick note to say thank you. I have a 'herder with attitude' dog, a Border Collie/Akita cross named Reo and have had him on Stress Free Calmplex for most of this year and it is incredible how he has changed. Yes, he's still very active but he has now lost his tendency to be aggressive. As he was a rescue dog, this is good going for him. I hope he will make an agility dog one day but at the moment we just keep plugging away to get good behavior out of him.
Once again, many thanks,
Maxine Mobbs, Ohio

Once again, you saved my beloved pet. My first Dachshund, Noopy, lived a long, healthy life because of the Combo. After a few medical issues, your products enhanced her well-being and allowed her many more years to be with me.
Now, three weeks after back surgery, my second Dachshund, Noops, has improved above and beyond our hopes. You have no idea what this means to me! Noops, my beloved friend and companion will be on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) forever. Also, she has taken the Bug Off Garlic Chewables every day since she was a puppy for fleas. We have no fleas!
Thank you for your life-saving products!
Dee Knabel, Illinois

I tried tons of different products to help Bella, my 4-year-old black Lab rescue, but none of them worked. She still couldn't jump in bed to cuddle or even climb stairs. My vet was puzzled. A friend gave me a sample of Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) to try, and I saw a difference in less than a week. I ordered a set for myself, and now she's doing much, much better. She's back to her 4-year-old self.
I have referred you to my friends with big dogs, and they rave about your products just like I do. I just wanted to thank you with all my heart for these wonderful products!

Just wanted to tell you that my vet marvels at how healthy and active my 15 year-old dog is. I got Puffy from a Rescue when he was 8 years old. I immediately started him on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) (I had also used those products on previous dogs) and the results of his annual physical actually improved the following year.
Thanks again,

Okay, it is time to write my story. I should have written a while ago because my dog has done so well with your products! This is Hugo, my 6 year old, 125 lb. American Bulldog.
Shortly after he turned 4 years old he tore knee cartilage in the dog park. I took him to the vet where he was x-rayed and put on a strong anti-inflammatory. The vet recommended a $3,000.00 operation with no guarantees. Huh? What does that mean? It means that he may have to stay on the drugs after the operation for a long period of time. Wow! I was in shock. This dog was hobbled, couldn't walk, wouldn't eat. I wasn't sure what I should do. The price of the operation, the on-going drugs, the liver tests, the post-operative care for a dog of that size? I even had thoughts of putting him down! It was very sad.
Anyway, I declined the operation, used up the medication I had, and took it real easy for a while. Then I started your Springtime products! Day after day, week after week, he just kept getting better and better! And now, and for a very long time, he's been just fine! No operation, no drugs!
He runs around, goes for long walks, jumps up on the couch, rolls on his back kicking all four legs in the air – he does everything a dig should be doing! His fur is so soft and he never scratches or chews himself! Everything seems to work so well together. We give him the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) and Omega 3-6-9 pretty much every day. We also give him the Bug Off Garlic chews – great stuff! No fleas or ticks! We will give him the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables every once in a while. We just started him on the Spirulina Wafers for general wellness and that seems to work great as well.
It has been almost two years now and Hugo is very happy and healthy. I'm a believer! Thank you so much!

I have a 7 year old German Shepherd female, Bailey. Back in February she was running around with her brother on the ice and did something to her back or hind leg. She was in so much pain she wouldn't go off our deck, didn't want to leave the house, and we had to walk her to a "safe spot" on a leash to get her to go to the bathroom at 5 AM every morning (in the middle of winter in New Hampshire!).
My brother and sister-in-law told us about Springtime and how it helped their Golden Retriever. After many vet bills and researching dog physical therapy, chiropractors (hip dysplasia and all the costs associated with that), I figured it would not hurt to try these supplements first. Boy, am I glad I did! Bailey is now back to her old self - chasing birds, playing with her "humans" (my two teenage boys) and feeling great. These are also the ONLY vitamins or supplements we can give her that she actually likes and takes willingly. The Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) is a great investment for any dog owner. I only wish I'd heard about them sooner. I love that they are all natural and helped bring our girl back to life again! Thanks!

At 6 months of age, my black Labrador, Duke, was given three years to live. His severe dysplasia in elbows, knees and hips was supposed to leave him crippled. After much success with administering Fresh Factors to my mom's Lab and Golden Retriever, I decided to try it out on Duke. We lost my boy last month at age 13. He far exceeded the initial estimate and lived a long, happy, healthy life. He started off every single day with Fresh Factors. My whole family has witnessed the success of this product and swears by it. Thank you for giving me an additional 10 years of happiness with my best friend.

I just wanted to say thank you for making such a wonderful product. I've been giving Fresh Factors to my Bernese Mountain Dog, Bentley, for the past 5 years; he is now 11+ but still manages to go out into the winter wonder land that is Wisconsin in February with his 10 month old Aussie brother and have a good romp. I know for a fact that this would not be happening if not for his daily dose of Fresh Factors. All the dogs and even our cat look forward to their daily dose.
Thanks again,
Lilia Barlow, Wisconsin

My boyfriend has a Maltese mix called Squeaky, who had a bad rear leg. He told me his vet said a lot of small dogs have a limp like that and it's just something they live with (Huh??!!). Since I've had previous experience with Fresh Factors, I told my boyfriend that I knew how to help his dog.
After about two months feeding Fresh Factors, there was an obvious difference. In the morning, the dog didn't run out of the bedroom holding his leg up every other step. The limp was only obvious at more random steps. After six months, the dog didn't hold the leg up anymore, and the leg was growing in size and strength. After a year, you can't tell the difference in size between the "bad" leg and the good one, and Squeaky had returned to normal mobility.
Thank you for making me look good to the boyfriend! ...and for making such an awesome product.
Lisa Duntley, Alaska

My 8 year old Cockapoo is doing so very well after taking the Fresh Factors and Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables. I started her today on the Bug Off Garlic Granules and so far she loves it! Thank you for helping my girl Darby not itch and bite herself or get ear infections and have so much more energy!
Thank You!

I know your Stress Free Calmplex works and that is why I recommend it to so many people for their dogs with fear and thunderstorm issues. As you may know, Florida has many thunderstorms and Frank, my rescue Border Collie, needed to be on something on a daily basis. Frank had developed fear during storms due to three major hurricanes we had encountered several years back. My friend, Maggie Eslinger, recommended Stress Free Calmplex, and it took about four months before I noticed changes for the positive. After that, he was no longer tearing the house apart when our daily thunderstorms would roll in.
Stress Free Calmplex also helped with his fear issues in the obedience ring. He was very anxious and I was told he would never achieve anything past a Companion Dog Title (CD) in Novice class. However, Stress Free Calmplex helped me achieve the highest obedience AKC title with Frank. I do not believe he would have gotten his Obedience Trial Championship (OTCH) without this product.
Frank is no longer with me, but he will be in my heart forever!
Sincerely,
Pamela O'Saile, Florida

I wanted to provide some feedback. About 6 weeks ago, I ordered your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) for our 11 year old greyhound, Bella, whom we have had for 6 years.
In that time, she has always had bald thighs; maybe a little fringe of fuzz in the winter but nothing more. Now, after approximately five weeks on Fresh Factors, Bella's hair is completely grown in on her thighs and is soft as can be.
The Joint Health Chewables has also made a big difference. She was on another supplement previously and we didn't feel that it was making much of a difference. Now Bella has healthy energy and is obviously feeling better - even our regular dog-sitter asked what had changed because she was much more bouncy and energetic.
We recently brought home a second greyhound, Kirby, who had only been off the track for 6 weeks. He came to us with red, scabby patches on his chest and thighs and dry skin. In less than two weeks after starting Fresh Factors, Kirby's skin is now soft and healthy and he has stopped scratching at himself.
We are hooked! Thanks.

Thank you Springtime for offering such wonderful products! My Cocker Spaniel, Tanika, has been taking your products for years. She will be thirteen in January 2017, and is getting around so well. She is currently taking Fresh Factors, Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Spirulina Wafers and Skin & Coat Oil. She is a Springtime girl! :) I just took this photo today. You can see how well she looks for being over twelve and a half years old. Thank you many times for what you do to help improve the lives of our furry friends.
Sincerely,
Grace DeLong, Ohio


Just wanted to tell you how much we LOVE Fresh Factors! We started using them several years ago with an older dog that had been retired from competitive events because he was showing his age, and just didn't seem to be feeling up to it. After a couple weeks of Fresh Factors, he really perked up and was able to go back to training and competing! It was amazing, the difference it made.
We are currently giving Fresh Factors to my 13 1/2 year old Border Collie, Rev, who now has more energy than a two year old. I can definitely tell a difference if he misses getting his Fresh Factors.
We recommend them to a lot of our clients as well. The remarkable effect Fresh Factors has had on several of our dogs has made me want to try them myself!
Thanks,

On July 31, 2016, after having a horrible night, we took our 13 year old Brittany, Pepper, to the emergency vet because she was hunched over and could barely walk. Last December, she had torn her left hind ACL while bird hunting and it had been healing slowly, although she had many instances where she would splay on the floor due to limb weakness. She was diagnosed with severe arthritis in her back and hips and was administered a shot of pain meds and given two types of opioid medication that she would be on for the rest of her life.
We took our little zombie home and proceeded to tell some of our friends about the experience. One of them shared that a friend of theirs raises and hunts Beagles and uses Fresh Factors to keep the dogs in top health for several additional years of hunting beyond the norm. We knew that being drugged for the rest of her life was not a good option for our Pepper, so we decided to order some and give it a try with the thought that "it couldn't hurt."
We got the Fresh Factors two days later and gave her a double dose. We have continued with that dosage ever since and she is back to her alert and happy self. I can take her for walks again, and she exhibits some of her puppy antics from days gone by. She still does her "skippy" thing with her hind leg every so often, but doesn't fall on her face or trip like she had been. Her coat has become softer and shedding is at a minimum--I wish we had known about this product when she was young. She is a happy pup again, and we are so grateful for this wonderful product. We have told everyone we know (and also people we do not know, but who have dogs) about Fresh Factors. Thank you for giving us our girl back!

Just dropping a line to let you know how well the products worked for my dogs. Lassie is 15 and about 1 1/2 years ago had many lipomas or lumps all over her, scabby sores on her skin, and was barely walking and worst of all, smelled so bad that I could hardly stand to be near her. I started her on 3-4 Fresh Factors a day, which she loves. Now she has a shiny coat, the lipomas are smaller and the sores are all gone. She is walking better too.
My other dog, Captain, is four and had been doing well on Fresh Factors plus Bug Off Garlic Chewables. Then, a few months ago, he started itching and getting allergic type rashes. This cleared up after only a few days on the C-Complex. Thanks a lot, Springtime!
Elizabeth Markovich, Florida




We currently have four rescued dogs, two rescued cats, and a flock of 17 chickens. We are longtime fans of Springtime's amazing products.
Our introduction to Springtime's Fresh Factors came in 1999 when they saved the life of my mother's dog, Honey, a German Shepherd mix. Honey's pain level had increased to the point that the vet recommended euthanasia if she did not improve. An acquaintance of Mom's suggested Fresh Factors. After several weeks of taking them, Honey was acting like a different dog. The vet was amazed and told Mom, "Whatever you are doing, keep doing it!" Fresh Factors gave Mom another four years with Honey.
After seeing Honey's remarkable change, we started our Labrador, Remington, and our English Shepherd mix, Mollie, on Fresh Factors too. Remi had stiffened some with early arthritis, but after taking Fresh Factors he was back to bouncing and fetching at full speed. As both Remi and Mollie were about 80 pounds, we wanted to help them live healthy, happy lives for as long as possible. Remi, despite having major health issues for half of his life due to abuse suffered before we rescued him, lived to be almost fourteen. Mollie lived to the ripe old age of seventeen years and three months, needing only occasional arthritis medicine the last year of her life.
As other dogs joined our pack family, they too, joined the Fresh Factors fan club. Lily, our Springer Spaniel mix, is now fourteen and our Shepherd/Doberman, Sherman, is thirteen. Both are starting to slow down a little, so we added Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables to their Fresh Factors. Despite his age and size, Sherman still manages to keep up with our newest pack members, Brigid and Bee, two Labrador mixes who are now six but run around like pups. Even our cat, Wilbur, like Fresh Factors!
Our animals are not the only ones to benefit from Springtime products. We love Boswellia Extract! My husband likes how it helped heal his injured shoulder and decreases his recovery time when he overdoes it. I am especially grateful for the way Boswellia Extract helps me in my fight against late stage/disseminated Lyme disease. I am using it as part of my healing protocol and am getting better every day!
Thank you, Springtime, for helping keep our family whether four-footed or two-footed healthier and happier. Although there are cheaper options for sale, it is actually more cost effective and better all round to get the excellent quality products Springtime delivers. Keep up the good work!
Thank you many times over from the entire Olson household!
Nita Olson, Ohio

I just have to share once how much I am grateful for Springtime. I recently started having problems with my Corgis, Callie and Cooper, not getting along. Callie is almost nine years old, and her brother, Cooper, is almost seven years old. There would be grumbles and even fighting for no apparent reason (it broke my heart). In addition, Callie was having spells where suddenly she would become anxious and pace, etc.
Well, I took Callie to our vet who ran all kinds of tests but nothing showed up. The vet prescribed doggy Prozac. I talked with a friend who said to try your Stress Free Calmplex. Well, we started them on Stress Free Calmplex just a short time ago and now they both are back to their ole, loving selves… Thank you so very much Springtime, from the bottom of my heart!

Fresh Factors for Malnourished Rescue Pup: "In just two weeks, I couldn't believe the improvement!"


Dear Springtime,
I have a rescue Pitbull/Boxer mix that I got when he was only 4 weeks old and on death's door. The woman that I got him from was headed for the dumpster with this puppy in the box she was holding, saying he wasn't worth the time anyway. I couldn't let this happen, obviously, so I scooped him up and did my best to save his life that he hadn't even begun to live yet.
I work in my local animal rescue as a foster coordinator, so working with sick puppies is nothing out of the norm for me. I started treating this puppy for his severe parasite infestation, muscle development issues, and skeletal problems. We almost lost him many times. My plan was to get him better and then find him a forever home through the rescue I work at, but he took so much work to keep alive that he ended up winning us over with his amazing spirit, infectious smile, and will to live! We named him Banks.
When I first started treating Banks, he had intestinal parasites that were so bad that he had very thin, patchy hair, he could hardly walk, and his belly was so very bloated. Since the parasitical worms were taking all of his much needed nutrients, Banks' glucose crashed many times due to anemia and hypoglycemia. I decided I had to give him some sort of supplement in addition to the food he was on to really set him up for success.
I started feeding Banks your Fresh Factors when he turned about 6 weeks old and could finally eat solid food. I started with the maximum dose because I knew he needed anything he could get to help him. In just two weeks, I couldn't believe the improvement! His hair started growing back and he finally started gaining appropriate weight and muscle mass--no more rounded belly! To my amazement, we discovered Banks has a beautiful dark brindle coat, something we could never tell because his coat was in such bad shape when we first got him. He now had energy like never before and was finally starting to act like a real puppy. I cried tears of joy.
At about 3 months old, he was being his new-and-improved normal self and running around being a farm puppy, having the time of his life. Being a tenacious, strong willed pup, Banks started chasing the horse and donkeys we have on the property. Somewhere in the midst of this chaos, he was trampled by one of the equines, crushing his shoulder. I was so angry and worried for him - we had just gotten him to be a normal puppy and there he goes getting himself trampled! Thankfully, he had no severe bone breaks, but he now walked with a limp. After all the work I put into him, I could not stand for him to be limping for the rest of his life. Enter Joint Health Chewables. Again, two weeks of the maximum dose and he was back to himself! No limp whatsoever! I was in awe.
Now, Banks is 3 years old and gets 2 Fresh Factors and 2 Joint Health Chewables daily (and he adores both...which is amazing since he is NOT a fan of most treats). He goes on hikes with me with no limping, and his coat has never looked better. Banks has never been healthier! He never gets sick (and he is exposed to many illnesses weekly), and everyone comments on how his coat is so soft and shiny and how his feet seem to be attached to springs!
I can't thank Springtime enough... I honestly believe your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables had a huge part in how my pup's life turned out. All of my animals are now on Springtime supplements, from Roman, an 8 year old mastiff with arthritis, to Abby, a 20 year old Appaloosa that has heaves. I recommend them to anyone that will listen!
Thank you for all you do,
Jill and "Banks" Chubbuck, Washington

I just want to thank you for Fresh Factors! Since we have been giving it to Trixi, our 12-year- old Shepherd/Lab mix, she has gotten back her spunk. She gets out and runs and plays like she used to, and she is not stiff when she gets up. It has made such an amazing difference, and we are so thankful!
We also buy it for my brother-in- law's dog. He is from the same litter as our girl Trixi, and it has made a world of difference for him too! We have a 5-year-old rescue Lab mix named Tiger Toones, who also takes Fresh Factors. We recommend it to all our doggie friends. This is the best product we have found. Thanks so much for helping our babies.

How can I thank you for your great products? I started my first Dachshund on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Chewablesfor fleas. She lived a long, healthy life thanks to your products. My current Dachshund, Noopy, will be 8-years-old soon, and she has had many health issues, but I truly believe she is as well as she is today because of these same products as well!
Because of my wonderful dogs' health, I thought I'd try Tonic Blend for myself. What can I say? I feel so much better, both mentally and physically. I know that I am taking a product that is healthy for me without all those artificial fillers they put in other vitamins. Thank you so much for giving me and my dogs such a great quality of life!

My mom uses Fresh Factors for her 14-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Rusty. Before they started on this, they had taken him to the vet because he was moving slow and clearly in a lot of discomfort. Rusty had previously had a stroke and it left his head permanently cocked at an angle. The vet had recommended putting him down, but my mom and her husband decided to try a few things to see if they could improve his quality of life.
Well, they tried your Fresh Factors. Not long after, he was feeling better and moving around better, getting up off the floor easier, eating more. All in all, Rusty's health was noticeably improving.
Fast-forward a few months and here he is a photo of Rusty now. Hard to believe this is the same dog, now rolling around on the ground, tail wagging.
Since then, my sister has bought them for her dog and noticed his dry skin and itchiness reduced drastically. We've taken to calling them miracle pills, and I'm about to start my 5-year-old Greyhound on them because I want him to live a long and healthy life!
Best Regards,
Garret Archer



My name is Kara Chester and I am one of the Animal Caretakers here at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary in Red Lodge, MT. We have been using some of your products for over a year now. The products that we use every day are the Fresh Factors and Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables. We currently have two Coyotes, two Red Foxes, and one Grey Wolf and all of them are on Fresh Factors. Apache, our geriatric Grey Wolf, receives the Fresh Factors along with the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables every day with her meal.
The wildlife surely does appreciate it. Thanks and have a great day!

Dear Springtime,
I hope that you had a good festive season and whisking you a lovely year ahead. It is time for some updates which I'll hope that you'll be happy. Franky has been doing good and is always improving with Stress Free Calmplex®. Jake On the other is doing a fine job!
3 months ago he couldn't walk, climb on stairs, and couldn't stand on his 4 paws for more than a minute. His back legs were very weak that he his body would just drop down on the floor. We had to skip going out with him as he couldn't make it at all. And in a field he wasn't able to step on, as as soon he stepped on a soft surface he wouldn't have enough force to move his hind legs. I had to lift him up the stairs too for weeks as he couldn't do so alone! Now Jake after 3 months of [the Combo] is able to walk, climb the stairs all by himself, walk on soil, doing the walks again, stand on his 4 paws as much as he likes, and he even runs in his own way ! Bless him he just turned 11years in the 3rd January.
We really recommended your products, we are over the moon to see our boys having a better life.
Thank you attached you have a video of Jake of yesterday when I took him for a stroll.
