I have a 7-year-old, 55-pound Labradoodle named Leia. Every August she gets terrible ragweed allergies, to the point where she takes two extra-strength Reactine, four Benadryl, plus cortisone shots and spray. She wears a cone all day, every day and wears a T-shirt to lessen the damage she does to herself by constant scratching. This dog would rub her eye sockets on the concrete patio to scratch herself until all the fur was gone and they were bleeding (hence the cone) from late August until the first frost! We have tried everything under the sun to help her, including changing her food multiple times, even trying kangaroo food. Three weeks ago, a coworker recommended your Fresh Factors for dogs. I was reluctant to order ... however, being at my wits' end and left with no further options, I decided to try it. I am happy to report that after 6 days on this product I took off her T-shirt. After 7 days, the cone went as well. After 2 weeks, I stopped giving her both the Benadryl and the Reactine and cancelled her cortisone shot. Her wounds have scabbed over. Leia is no longer chewing her paws raw, and she does not scratch herself to the point of bleeding. She no longer destroys her eyes on the concrete, and she has stopped panting constantly. I have no idea what this product does, or how it works, but it really works! I give her three chewables in the morning and three at night. The cost is much less than the drugs and vet visits costs I previously incurred (allergy pills alone were about $3/day). I never ever write reviews, but I am amazed. This product gave me back my dog! For three months a year, Leia was an itchy, infected, bleeding, miserable mess. Now she is back to being a dog. Thank you!!! Karina Zwaan-Fragomeni, Ontario, Canada

My sweet little pug, named "Annie" is like a completely new puppy now, after taking your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables for dogs! She had joint issues so bad in one of her rear legs that she could hardly walk on it. Especially after laying down, her leg would get real stiff and she would be hopping around on it. And, we couldn't take her on any 30 minute walks anymore with her brother "Scottie." It is just UNBELIEVABLE how much she has improved since taking your supplement. You have made a believer out of me.
I sure am glad we tried your product, because before your product we were using drugs to mask the pain. What a complete difference your product has made in her quality of life! Annie is only 5 years old and we sure are glad she is back to normal again by running around in the back yard and playing. So, if anybody ever questions the value of your product, just send them to our house for proof positive that this stuff really works!
Thanks again for your great products!
Sincerely, Bob and Susan Matthews, Virginia

Dear Springtime,
I ordered Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables for our 11year old English Pointer named Pepper. She whined with any movement and could hardly get up in the morning. After 1 month of your product, she was like a puppy again. My husband is going to take her hunting (he had retired her due to the pain). He can't believe how good she looks. Thank you!

I recently wrote about how Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables really helped our dog. After a short time on that, she was like a puppy again. Tonight she ran up the stairs for the first time in years, jumped up on the bed, and here is the picture. Thank you so much!

Below is a link showing how well Pepper is doing. She is 12 years old and keeps up with the younger dogs, sometimes even outpacing them. She is in the blue collar, runs off to the left of the screen. Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables transformed her. I also have my FEI level dressage horse on Springtime GL and J-Flex Concentrate. He has never had any problems even with a hard work and show schedule. Thanks again for your wonderful products.

I wrote to you about our 12 year old English Pointer named Pepper. After a few months on Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables she was moving like a puppy. The other night she came with me to the horse barn, and scaled a stack of hay bales that was at least 8 feet high. I don't know how she did it, I turned around to look for her and she was running around on top of the hay. I didn't know what would happen when she tried to come down. She leapt from about 4.5 foot height after sliding down the bales, took off and ran back to the house. All I can say is, your products really work.
Thanks again!

Good morning. One of our beloved dogs, Heidi, a 6 year old Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mix was born with bad hips. That didn't keep her from being a happy, wonderful puppy. This past year, though, she has struggled with a limp on her front right leg. This made walking horrible for her, but she insisted not only on walking daily through the woods with the rest of the pack, but also going upstairs to bed at night. The vet had her on Tramadol and anti-inflammatory therapy, which wasn't making much difference (perhaps keeping her pain down). Finally, many X-rays showed that she has only one good joint. Surgery for one knee, two hips, and two front "elbows," which was going to be upwards of $25,000 – with no guarantees. The vet suggested a supplement called Glycoflex III, but I called your place of business, and after talking about Heidi's issues, I decided to begin your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables with boswellia (a.k.a. frankincense). I have a good friend, Yvonne Burgan, who can't say enough about your products. As an herbalist of long standing (nearly 40 years), I was preparing to treat her herbally, when after only one week of starting the supplement, there is a huge difference in her walk as well as her attitude! Whereas before she lay around most of the time, now she's up and ready to go as soon as she hears me pick up my purse. I can't wait to see what the months ahead bring! Thanks so much! With five dogs to look after, two of them 10 years old, and depending greatly on Social Security for our income, I'm very careful about what I purchase for the animals. I believe this purchase from you was extremely worthwhile! Sondra B Johnson, Virginia

I wanted to let you know that this past Saturday morning, I sent an email to a weekly veterinary talk show (Animal General with Dr. Mike) that airs on KDKA AM radio out of Pittsburgh, PA…after I heard one person call in to talk about his young dog having to either have his hips replaced or be euthanized… I wrote to tell the host, Dr. Mike Hutchison about how your products, Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables had saved our AKC Lab pup, Tucker, from having to have both of his hips replaced at the tender age of one.
I explained to Dr. Hutchison that Tucker had been diagnosed with the worst case of hip problems that our vet and a canine orthopedic specialist had ever seen, especially in a young pup. Tucker was in such bad shape that he had stopped growing at six months of age. He could barely walk, and his back had arched up very high from the tremendous pain. … Tucker had to be kept on narcotic pain medication, so he was always in a drug-induced stupor and even then he could not walk or sit anywhere near normally… Surgery was the only thing that would help him. That was in March 2003, and we started him on your products in July of 2003 after receiving one of your brochures. I wrote how quickly Tucker responded to your supplements and how now, at three years old, he weighs 85 lbs and can run almost as fast as his brother…
…After I saw how well Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables helped Tucker, I immediately started giving them to his brother, Cody, who also has hip problems, but not to the degree as Tucker. …I plan on keeping both dogs on Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for giving us two healthy, pain-free dogs.

I just got my UPS Quantum View notice that my order has been shipped. You guys are fast! My Corgi, Woodrow, is on his last few days of my supply of Fresh Factors and so I appreciate the fast service.
Just gave your info to my neighbors here in Plymouth/Manomet, Massachusetts – their Collie, Duncan has hot spots for the first time this summer. I originally found you many years ago via my daughter, Jenifer, of The Pawsitive Dog in Boston. At the time, my deceased Golden had terrible and recurrent hot spots. She suggested I try Fresh Factors. They helped him immensely. Since then, whenever anyone says "hot spots," I say "Fresh Factors" and pass along your catalog or web address.
Woodrow isn't bothered by hot spots (perhaps because have given him Fresh Factors from the first day I adopted him) but I still give them to him for his coat and general well-being, even more important now that he has joint problems.
Thanks again,
Kathleen Vickery, Massachusetts

Heidi, my eleven year old Poodle, suffers with allergies, which begin around May and continue until the first hard freeze. Heidi is fed a premium dog food specifically designed to treat allergies and, when the allergies begin each season, also gets medication to ease the symptoms.
About three months ago, I received one of your catalogues in the mail. Heidi had already begun licking her front paws, and both were nearly raw. I decided to order Fresh Factors for her and have been giving her one tablet each day for a little over two months now.
I am delighted to report that Heidi no longer licks her feet. The hair has grown in lush and soft where there used to be bald, red spots. I only wish I'd know about Fresh Factors four years ago, when Heidi's allergies first reared their ugly heads.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Springtime. Heidi's happy. I'm happy. No more medication! Don't ever stop making Fresh Factors!

I have a five year old Great Dane named Harley who slipped in the snow and began limping. It was worse when she got up from sleeping. I doubled her Fresh Factors and within a few days the limping was almost gone. She has been taking Fresh Factors since we got her as a baby. Thank you for a great product.

Aloha! Here are a few photos of my beloved soon to be 14 year old Great Dane (in April 2006). He would not be alive today if it weren't for Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors he's been getting for the last two years. He was barely able to get up when I, in desperation, started him on your supplements. I would have had to put him to sleep a long time ago if he hadn't improved as dramatically as he did. Within two weeks, he literally could jump in the back of the Yukon again! It was unbelievable. Even in his VERY advanced years (for a Great Dane, it's almost a record, I believe) he is still able to get around and even chase a mongoose every now and then! If he is off his supplements for even a few days, there is a very noticeable difference in his mobility, and if I were to take him off completely, he would no longer be able to even get up, let alone walk!
Thanks so much for having these "miracle pills!"

I love your products. I have been using Fresh Factors on my dogs for at least 10 years now. I have a grooming business; whenever I see a problem with one of my clients I always recommend your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables, and I always see a change in them by the next visit. They think I am the smartest dog person around in my area! I also have told many of my dog show friends and once they try it, they are hooked and can't believe how well it works for them. Thank you so very much for your insight into the health and well-being of our fur friends.

We have an eight year old Cocker Spaniel that has had two rear leg surgeries and used to limp most of the time. She'd be very careful not to play or be active because of pain, even while walking. I even had to give up walking her because she'd sit down and didn't want to move. After three weeks of a daily Fresh Factors broken up in some wet dog food, she started to improve. She now wants to play and romp around and even jump up onto the couch. Cocoa says thank you!

I just wanted to let you know that we love your product, Fresh Factors. Our nine year old dog, Bacchus, (best guess is that he is a dingo or a throw-back to one) was having a lot of obvious pain in his back legs. The vet thought he had loose ACLs or something like that, but Bacchus could not jump anymore and definitely could not run. So, now, Bacchus not only can jump up on the couch, but also can jump up on the bed and into the back of the car. He begs to play chase with tennis balls at the dog park again. In less than three months on Fresh Factors, we now have the same dog that we had about six years ago. I've been recommending it to any of my friends who have aging dogs. Thank you again for such a great product.
Cheers,

We have shown and bred English Bull Terriers for 25+ years and now give all of our dogs Fresh Factors. We started to give them the tabs a little over a year ago when a friend gave us a container. In a very short time, we noticed a remarkable difference in coats and conditioning and now recommend Fresh Factors to all of our puppy owners...
We recently imported a White Bull Terrier, Caspa, from Australia and within two weeks after giving him Fresh Factors there was a noticeable difference in his coat. In a very limited showing, he was the #6 White Bull Terrier in the nation in 2007 and was invited to attend the Eukanuba National Dog Show. We are currently showing him as well as several of his puppies who are also winning. All of them have wonderful coats and health and we attribute it to Fresh Factors. People often follow us out of the ring and ask what we give them - I tell them it's Fresh Factors and reach for my catalogs!
Thank you for such a wonderful product. We are definitely fans for life.

I've wanted to contact your company many times over the years to thank you all for such wonderful products. I discovered Fresh Factors about 12 years ago when my then 10 year old Cocker Spaniel Molly had a severe joint pain episode. I slept next to her on the floor; spoon fed her, and also poised her to relieve herself for about two weeks before we got Fresh Factors. Within days she was running like a puppy. I had her for six more years thanks to your products. I've recently gotten a mini Poodle and just placed our first order for him. I know with the help of your products, he'll be with me for a long time.
Thank you so much,

Fresh Factors are terrific! Whenever I run out, my Bullmastiff, Lilly, begins to scratch, and she scratches with such fury you can hear it all over the house! It sounds like someone is tearing down the walls. My other two dogs, a Cane Corso named Tank and a Great Dane named Duke, are doing great as well and they all just enjoy the Fresh Factors as treats. They can't get enough!

More good humor:
A blind man and his seeing eye dog head into town for a little stroll. Approaching the busiest intersection in town the dog doesn't hesitate, but leads the man directly into rush hour traffic.
Everyone stopped to watch this incident when they heard brakes squealing and horns blaring. The man and his dog made it to the other side without injury.
A young man, having observed the incident, watched the man take a dog biscuit from his pocket and offer it to the dog. "Excuse me, sir," the young man said, "but why would you reward your dog for almost getting you killed?"
The blind man replied, "I am trying to find his head, so I can kick his tail!"
My two 'kids', Renton MacPherson (an eight year old Scottish Terrier) and Bonnie Girl (a seven year old Golden Retriever), are both still going strong on your Fresh Factors. I ordered the Bug Off Garlic Chewables for the summer flea season in the Northwest. We love your products!

We adopted our second Greyhound last spring and we now have her on Fresh Factors. Her fur was a mess when we got her and now she looks like a show dog. Also, our first Grey can run without pain thanks to her two tablets a day. Our dogs mean the world to us and, thanks to their daily dose of Fresh Factors, not only are they pain-free but they have the softest coats of any Greyhounds we've met!
Thanks,

My female Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Fredi, had a hot spot on her left front paw for over two years. I tried everything I could think of to break her of the habit she had of licking that spot. When a friend of mine heard a commercial on the radio for your products talking about hotspots, etc., he called me. Well, as you can see by her photo Fresh Factors did the trick! She is seven years old and beautiful. Thank you so much!

My Pekinese, Buster, was very lame and I started giving him Fresh Factors along with my German Shepherd, Maggie, who was three years old at the time. After a few weeks, Buster would beat me to the front door. Fresh Factors helped him through the last three years of his life. Buster had a stroke at the age of 16 and needed to be put down. We do miss him very much; however, we know that through his last days with us his quality of life was as if he was a puppy once again due to your great product Fresh Factors.

I have to comment on your Fresh Factors for dogs. I started giving my dogs (an eight year old Pug named Hank and an eleven year old Beagle/Springer Spaniel mix named Becca) Fresh Factors last fall when I noticed stiffness in their back legs. Within three weeks they both had more flexibility in their legs, and less shedding! The Beagle/Springer Spaniel mix had what appeared to be a reddish brown rash on her belly and that has all but disappeared! I am so pleased with this product and have recommended it to every pet owner I know. On behalf of the dogs and me, thank you!
