Discomfort Success Stories
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!

Dear Springtime,
Your Springtime supplements will be remembered for the longevity my Great Pyrenees, Morgan, experienced. She passed away just a few weeks ago and I am heavily grieving her absence in my life. She was only a few days short of 14 ½ years old!
About five years ago, Morgan was limping badly and would not put any weight on her rear leg. She was diagnosed with cancer in her ankle. It had eaten away at the connective tissue and I was told to put her to sleep or amputate the leg. Morgan was still very full of life and there was no option other than to let her live even if she had to live without a leg. I was very sad at the time to learn she had cancer.
After some post-surgery difficulty (learning to walk on three legs), I immediately put her on Fresh Factors upon recommendation from a total stranger who had seen me with her limping along. I had also put her on Joint Health Chewables and kept her on an all natural food diet.
I had truly been blessed to have my Great Pyrenees well into her "golden years." Morgan had defied the odds of surviving cancer as an amputee since this breed normally succumbs to bone cancer. She had lived five years beyond the amputation. She even refused a custom made wheelchair, and lived another nine months dealing with some joint problems. Her will to live was undeniable.
I will continue to tell others about your wonderful products. Thank you, Springtime, on behalf of my beloved Morgan.
Very truly yours,
Catherine Wielenta, Tennessee

Dear Springtime,
Boomer is an English Lab and as you can see he is beautiful. Boom fell and chipped his right elbow at five months of age. Long story short, we were told that he was going to end up with such terrible joint issues that it was possible that eventually he could lose the leg. He was limping terribly and I doubled his Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. He is going to be three in August and does not limp one bit. He is just a big 'ole love bucket of a dog! His favorite thing is, of course, to swim and he would not be able to do that without his front leg – thanks!
Scaredy Cat was the runt of the litter and was not a healthy kitten. One pupil was larger than the other and he would wobble and fall sometimes. I started him on Fresh Factorsas a kitten and he is now seven years old…
Thank you for being so great to us over the years!

Dear Springtime,
We have a kennel that breeds and trains Coonhounds. We have been using your products for older "gals" mainly just to give them that little extra boost as they age. The difference in these dogs is phenomenal.
We started using Fresh Factors for an older Shepherd/Rottweiler named Bandit, who was diagnosed with cancer and had joint problems pretty bad. Upon taking Fresh Factorshe had much more spunk and lived another two years with a good quality of life. He lived 14 years which is wonderful for a dog his breed.
Another wonder story is Old Kate who is a legend in the Coonhound breed. She won national hunts and as she aged she became just very, very special. When diagnosed with cancer in early stages we were told she had six months to a year. I immediately started Old Kate on Fresh Factors. She lived an active life for another three years and finally passed away of a massive stroke which was her second one. I doubled her Fresh Factorsupon the first stroke, and she not only pulled out of it but was romping with some puppies. She had her final stroke three months later, and I have to add it was the stroke, not the cancer at all, that finally took her life.
We have two other old gals that are quite special to us that are getting your Longevity now. Their energy, brightness of the eyes, their shiny coats and the general well being more than say enough for the quality of your fine product.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
Our dog, Katy, 11 years old, was getting stiff and limping. We took her several times to the vet because she was having trouble walking and getting up and down the stairs. We sometimes had to carry her up and down the steps. We started her on the Joint Health Chewables. After a short time, she was walking better. Now she's running up and down the stairs and playing vigorously with our new dog, Roger, which is twice her size. Katy is much happier and definitely healthier.
Thank you,

Dear Springtime,
We are shouting your praises to everyone. Our 11 year old Doberman, B.J., was in bad shape before we discovered your amazing products. After only a month on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables he is like a new dog. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Next, we will get your products for our horses and ourselves. Thank you so much.

Dear Springtime,
I have 18 dogs here, with quite a few seniors that have come into our rescue and will stay here. It seems they get younger here, their voices louder, their muscles stronger. This year I stocked up on the Longevity, knowing I would be unable to purchase the variety of products I do normally. As I dole out the Joint Health Chewablesto the neediest, and Longevity to everyone, including pups, I see the results of the products are lasting.
Old Miss Dorie, who was highlighted on the website under Joint Health Chewables (the beagle who couldn't get up the stairs) now jumps on her hind legs, runs and plays with the youngsters, and howls louder than I ever heard. Yes, they get younger here! I would never be without these products. Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I have rescued a ten year old dog, Sugar, who has severe joint problems and a miniscule tear in a tendon in her hind leg which caused her to limp very badly. After speaking with our veterinarian and trying to decide whether to perform surgery, I decided to first try Joint Health Chewables. She is very finicky when it comes to eating, but she loves the Joint Health Chewables and has improved tremendously! I ran out of them after the first order and she started limping badly again. I have since placed another order and don't plan to ever be without them again! Thank you for such great natural products and always shipping my order promptly! Keep up the great work!
Best regards,
Melissa DeLong, Ohio

Dear Springtime,
One of the agents in the office told me about Joint Health Chewables for dogs. I bought some for my mother's 12 year old Pomeranian because she was having a hard time moving after laying down for a while. Now she runs around like a puppy, dances again and wants to go for walks every time I go into her house.
Wow, what a difference. I am so happy since mother is 89 years old and she got her because she was an older dog and she could not train a puppy. Now we have a trained, puppy-like dog. Joint Health Chewables are great. I now take the people Joint Health Capsules and they work and I give the cats that are getting old the Joint Health Chewables.

Dear Springtime,
My 13 year old Maltese, Cheree, has a lot of issues but is doing great! He has an enlarged heart, reflux, and kidney stones but is full of spunk! My 11 year old, Buttons, has a luxating patella and is doing great even with a murmur. Thank you, Joint Health Chewables.

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to tell you that K-9 Stray saved and adopted out almost 500 dogs in 2009. And these dogs were not all highly social butterflies... some were fostered and rehabbed by volunteers to correct undesired behavior. A lot of high work went into these precious lives.
I think that I told you about my foster dog, Jada. She is maybe a Bohemian Shepherd mix. Nicest dog in the world. She came to me with deteriorated hip and joint issues. It was discovered by a slight lifting of her hind leg, and confirmed by x-ray. I fostered her for a year. In that time, she received Joint Health Chewables every day and saw amazing improvements in her quality of life! She finally found a perfect home for her this past Thanksgiving, where they will care for her "special needs." The family could not believe that Jada had the words "severe hip issues" in her file. They did not notice any favoring of the leg, and Jada pranced around their yard with no problem.
Anyway, Jada went to her new home with Joint Health Chewables that your company donated to us. And I highly recommend that the family stay with that brand of joint help. Your product definitely helped Jada find the perfect home, and experience a more comfortable "best life."
Thanks again for being a supporter of K-9 Stray Rescue League. We appreciate you considering our small kennel worthy of assistance from your products.
Kind Regards,
Maggie Gdula

Dear Springtime,
My dog, Lucky, is over 14 years old and has been taking Joint Health Chewables for about four years. Family and friends can't believe how active and full of energy she is. She used to have some back problems but not anymore. I usually am a non-believer when it comes to supplements, but Lucky is a 64 lb Golden mix who loves to still be a part of the family! This summer we will try the Bug Off Garlic Granules instead of using harmful chemicals on her skin.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Halunen, Minnesota

Dear Springtime,
I am writing this letter to inform you of how happy I am with your product, Joint Health Chewables. I have an eight year old Yellow Lab named Quincy. He was showing signs of aging. He was slowing down and would limp occasionally. After a few weeks of using your product I saw a tremendous improvement. He regained his bounce and energy. He visits with the local dog pack daily and can run and catch a ball for long periods of time. He acts like a puppy again. He recently had his yearly physical and the veterinarian remarked on how wonderful he looked.
I will always use your products and have referred several friends to your company. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Lore Van Houton and "Quincy," California

Dear Springtime,
Rocket, my 102 lb White German Shepherd was having a hard time getting up and walking. Her left leg was stiff and sometimes painful. I started her on Joint Health Chewables and have seen improvement in just five weeks. Even my veterinarian said to keep her on them. Plus, Rocket loves them. She thinks they are treats! Thank you for such a great product.

Dear Springtime,
I have been meaning to write for a while, but I absolutely LOVE your products. My 14 1/2 year old Shepherd Mix, Mugsy, is on Joint Health Chewablesand Fresh Factors. We weaned him off the pain medication for his joint pain and have been able to manage it with mega doses of the supplements. The vet said his tests recently came back perfect for his blood work and urinalysis and she has never seen an older dog that is so healthy. Thanks for your great product! We also used the Bug Off Garlic Granulesthis summer and had very little problems with ticks!
Thanks again and keep up the great work,

Dear Springtime,
I have five dogs of my own - all take Joint Health Chewables. In October, I accepted two foster dogs, Amos and Andy, in my home from a rescue group. The owner of these senior Rotti/Hound mixes had died and they had been left on their own for many months, and been bounced from boarding kennel to boarding kennel. By the time they arrived at my house they were underweight and feeble. I immediately put them on the same Springtime Joint Health Chewables that my own dogs take. Within a few weeks, they were showing remarkable improvement in their ability to get around. Now they take the same long walks as the rest of my pack. The turnaround in their health makes them far more appealing and likely to be adopted.
Thank you from Amos, Andy, and me.

Dear Springtime,
First of all, let me state that I was a huge skeptic of your product, and now I am a believer. I have owned my Australian Cattle Dog, Sydney (now 10 1/2 years old), since she was five weeks of age.
After running agility for five years, she began to limp at the age of seven. After five months and 15 x-rays, it was determined that she had joint issues in one front leg, both shoulders, two places on her spine, and both hips. One of her hips was so severe that we proceeded with surgery and removed the head of her femur. Unfortunately, four months after surgery she tore her ACL in the same leg. I was told that there was nothing more that could be done for her.
So my search began for a product that might be of benefit to her. And I tried many products. I wanted something that would not result in other symptoms if possible. I read many stories about Springtime products, so I decided to try. Sydney has been on Joint Health Chewablesfor a few years now and I am so thankful for your product. Today, we went to the beach and swam in the bay. She was so happy. I owe it to your product!
Thank you,
