Discomfort Success Stories
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 Chewables since now the mosquito and flea season is here.
Thank you so much Springtime,

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.

Dear Springtime,
This letter is long overdue. We started giving our chocolate Lab, Herschel, your products about four or five years ago when he was nine, in hopes that it would help stave off the joint problems that were starting to affect his hips and hind legs. He suddenly could not walk upstairs without help, and would bark at us to help him. Within six weeks of taking Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors, he was able to walk up the stairs and jump on the bed again. In addition, his coat was much shinier than any of the other dogs in the neighborhood and he seemed to have more zip. Although the problems in his spine and neuropathy are now catching up with him at age thirteen and at 90 lbs, we truly feel that Springtime supplements have allowed Herschel to live a longer and more energetic life. We will continue using your products for him, as well as for future pets.
In addition, your customer service staff is always helpful and friendly, which adds to the positive experience. Thanks for everything.

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 Factors. It worked so well on the dog so now my husband is thinking about using Joint Health Capsulesfor his joint pain. Now this time we can't wait to try Fresh Factorswith Joint Health Chewables.
Thanks Again,

Dear Springtime,
I have been giving my 13 year old Akita, Windy, Fresh Factors for about five years now. Recently, she had colic and had to have major surgery to remove her spleen and part of her stomach. Remember, she is 13 years old! Well, it has been two weeks post surgery and Windy is back to her old self. She is eating, taking her walkabouts around the farm, and running when the mood takes her. I believe if it were not for Fresh Factors this old dog (in age only) would not have survived. The vets are amazed at her astonishing recovery. Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
My two German Shepherds (three and four years old) seem to be in great shape. I am enclosing a recent snapshot…Blaze is sable coated (on right) and Bonnie is a traditional black and tan. Both enjoy their daily Fresh Factors (three tablets each) and I believe they benefit physically from them.

Dear Springtime,
Thank you for your great products Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. A few years ago, now 11 year old Kapo was diagnosed with severe joint issues from tail to neck. The medicine administered by the vet made her sleep all the time and she had the potential for liver damage. Since Kapo had been on Springtime products, she is like a puppy again, playful and peppy. She is truly enjoying life. I have told several friends about the products. They have all been able to enjoy the benefits as well by watching their aging canines improve their quality of life.
Thanks again,

Dear Springtime,
I have been a faithful buyer from you since Noopy, my Dachshund, was injured 10 years ago. She is now 14 years old and she is on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. About three weeks ago I took her outside and she fell over sideways and could not get up!!!! She was diagnosed as having a stroke or vestibular disease (nerve damage between brain and ear) they could do nothing but give antibiotics and wait to see what happened. I was devastated to see my Noopy so sick and falling over every time I put her down. After two days I doubled her Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables and it has supported her natural healing process! After one week she improved more and by two weeks she was her old self and maybe better than before!!! How can I ever thank you for giving me back my Noopy? After 14 years she is my best friend, my companion. Your products are truly a blessing. Thank you and bless you all.

Dear Springtime,
I have three Labs that I got from a breeder that wouldn't use them for breeding because of their hip problems. All three are on Fresh Factors and are doing just GREAT! I have used Fresh Factors for over ten years with all the Labs that I have had. I will not stop giving my "kids" these chews. They are certainly worth the expense, which isn't much if you want healthy, happy dogs!

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

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.

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!

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,
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.

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,
We have used your products since the 1980's. A friend told us about Fresh Factors when my show dog, Oz, developed severe joint problems and pain. He was not quite six years old but a large Rottweiler. Within a short time, Oz was running around like a playful puppy. We gave Fresh Factors to all our dogs since then: Sheeba, Shadowland, and Chachi. All lived longer, happier, and healthier lives. We are now giving Fresh Factors to our current dog, Dulce, a mixed Black Lab/Great Dane. We have also used some of your people products. Thank you for marketing excellent products that perform as you say they will, at an affordable price.

Dear Springtime,
I usually order by phone, but I wanted to let you know how great I think your products are. I have an eight year old Australian Shepherd named Taz. He had Valley Fever and took pills for that but he just didn't act normal. After the last round of pills I would not give him any more. He takes the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables I ordered and he is now a different dog. He now runs and gets his toys and wants me to play with him. He is more active like he used to be. I really think it is due to your products and I will keep giving them to him. He loves them and if I forget he will remind me it is time for him to get his treats.
Thank you so much,
Shirley Shewey, Arizona
