My human, Doris, ordered some of your Joint Health Chewablesfor me as I was really having a hard time getting around. When I would lie down I could hardly get back up. I walked slow and just couldn't run and jump on the couch or get into my favorite recliner. At first I didn't like the tablets but my human put a dab of peanut butter on them and who doesn't like peanut butter? I wish you could see me now – I am all over the place. I run down the hall and can jump on the couch again. I am so happy now to be able to get back to feeling like I used to feel. My human is also very happy – in fact she ordered some of the Joint Health Capsules for herself!
Thank you so much,
"Otis" and Doris Stockton, Texas

I have tried your Joint Health Chewableson my Min Pin, Tyke, who had two slipped disks and was in bad shape. I had him in acupuncture, physical therapy, massage... but one month of your product and I saw improvement. Since Tyke has done so well, and was able to go up stairs at Myrtle Beach, everyone else noticed how much better he was, too. My other two Min Pins have now been put on Joint Health ChewablesIt is amazing and now I want to try some of the same for relief on my pain in my joints. Thank you for making my Tyke's life better.

Thanks for a great product. My 11 year old Aussie mix, Blaine, is like a puppy again. He had been kicked in the back leg by a horse and required extensive surgery, and then three years ago, he tore his ACL in his good leg. I was so scared he would not be able to cope with it. My vet put him on medication, and I immediately started searching for another product to help him. After only a few weeks of Joint Health Chewables, he was off the pain pills and has not needed any since. I have recently started all of my dogs on Fresh Factorsand have noticed an improvement in them. I am truly thankful that I found you and have recommended you to everyone I think your products will benefit.

I just wanted to send you a few comments regarding your Joint Health Chewables for dogs. Our Chow Chow, Bo, was having a very tough time of it. She was walking with a limp and had a great deal of trouble getting up and down to a sitting position.We started her on triple dose of your Joint Health Chewablesabout three weeks ago. Now she takes a double dose daily. She is going on walks again! She still has a little trouble getting up and down, but is walking with no limp at all. Our beloved baby will be 13 years old in December. Thank you for adding some quality to her years.

My Kuvasz, Ky-Czar, had been on Joint Health Formulaa since he was two years old. I started him on it after he had four major orthopedic surgeries to rebuild his right arm after a horrible accident. I have referred many clients to your product line with outstanding results. Sadly, I had to put down my beautiful Ky-Ky down last Tuesday, August 17, 2010. But I know that without your Joint Health Formula we would not have had almost 11 memorable years with our remarkable Ky. Thanks for a great product line.

I want to thank you for your wonderful products and share a story with you. We recently adopted Miss Dorie, a ten year old Beagle, on her last day at the animal shelter. For three months she had been there, lying on a cement floor, and her time was up. We took her home and noted that she had severe stiffness in her back legs, and she could hardly walk.
As we discussed ramps and future problems, I started her on a double dose of Joint Health Formula powder. Within three weeks Miss Dorie was running up the hill, jumping on her hind legs, and playing with the other dogs!
I kept her on the Joint Health Formula for a few weeks more. But I thought that perhaps it was just the cold cement floor that caused her issues, not joint problems, since her recovery had been so quick. So I stopped the Joint Health Formula.
Within two weeks poor Miss Dorie had her tail between her legs, couldn't walk or navigate the steps. Worse than she was when we adopted her, maybe because she had begun to feel so much better and then it was gone. What a terrible disappointment to her.
Now the thing that brings me to write you is this. I started her back on the same double dose of Joint Health Formula. Within ONE WEEK Miss Dorie's tail was held high, and she was running like a Beagle should, chasing rabbits UP the hill, howling in glee with the others.
I knew your products are good. I could give testimonials on your products for the others in my ten dog pack. But the change in Miss Dorie in one week's time was phenomenal. She will never be without Joint Health Formula again for the rest of her now happy life. She also gets Bug Off Garlic Granules and Bee Pollen.
Thank you, Springtime! I remain your faithful customer.

My eleven year old Golden, Amigo, had developed a tremor in his rear leg, and it was getting worse. With Fresh Factors it's gone! We're both relieved and delighted! Thank you for a good product!
Amigo and I are currently living in the small Baltic country of Estonia (my son and grandchildren are there). There are thousands of dogs here – mostly German Shepherds and other guard dogs – but, of course, no Springtime, Inc.! …Thus, we have been depending upon kind family and friends in the States to receive them from Springtime and forward to me.
In fact, I recently added Joint Health Formulato his regime. I am in the process of completing a book about life, including six moves, with Amigo, and since he doesn't die in the end, I really need to keep him healthy! I have referred to Springtime in the text, and should the book find a publisher, you would be approached for permission to include the company by name. I hope you will hear from us again!
Enclosed, a photo of a midwinter shaggy-coated Amigo, auxiliary Estonian mail carrier! He insists on carrying packages home, including a recent one with his Fresh Factors, but he dropped the box before I could grab the camera! This will have to do.
I look forward to continuing to use and spread the word about your fine, life-sustaining products.
Sincerely,
Marguerite S. Oetjen, Estonia

I am involved with the rescue and adoption of retired racing Greyhounds. Many of these wonderful dogs come off the track with injuries; some serious. I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am with the results I have gotten after using your Joint Health Formula for Dogs. It has helped tremendously with the rehabilitation of these injured dogs making more of them available for adoption. Not only has it helped my Greyhounds, I have seen a huge difference in my old Great Danes with joint issues. Thank you very much for such a top quality product and thank you for being such a great group of people to do business with.
Living in Florida is an endless, year round battle with fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, etc. Most of the toxic and dangerous products on the market are useless. I tried the Bug Off Garlic Granules and cannot get over how well it works! Not only does it work, but it enhances the flavor of their food and they love it!

This photo was taken September, 2010, and Tsunami will be 11 years old in March. Isn't she a beauty? Her first mission after Search and Rescue certification was the World Trade Center in New York City – she never flinched and attacked the job like a pro. We still do little searches because she loves it.
She has joint issues in her left elbow from Lyme disease, but the Joint Health Formula allows her to move fluidly.

I just wanted to drop a line or two and thank you for your wonderful products. I've used your products for over six years and recently started all my dogs on Longevity. I did this due to the spirulina component of the supplement and its tremendous benefits. I take your Spirulina Tablets with excellent results and thought it would also benefit my dogs (German Shepherd, age six, English Setter, age ten, English Setter, age two and Mini Doxie, age two).
They all have great hair coats, but the biggest shock was the attitude and energy change in our ten year old Setter, Mattie. She has always been a "puppy" at heart but had started to slow down. She didn't want anything to do with our youngest Setter or our Doxie pup. After about two months on Longevity, she's now bouncing around and play bowing, trying to entice her house mates to play. It's wonderful to see her so full of herself again. All my friends are aware of your company due to the excellent outcomes I have shared with them. I'm grateful for your products as they allow me to provide the best care for my four-legged family at a very reasonable price.

I just got back from a follow-up visit to the vet with my cat, Sampson, and wanted to share my appreciation. For the prior five years, this animal had a miserable time with ear infection after ear infection. We have had multiple surgeries, restricted diets, antibiotics by the dozen and most recently this year he was diagnosed with MRSA.
My dog had surgery this year for her elbows and a friend recommended that I start her on the Longevity formula. One day, after a vet appointment with the cat, I wondered if the stuff wouldn't help Sampson. I called your office, spoke with my vet and started the cat on it. He is a new animal. His ears have NEVER looked this good. It's been about seven months now on the Longevity and the vet has been impressed with how his ears look. You can't know how great it is to hear "his ears look so clear and healthy" as opposed to "he has another infection." I never thought I'd hear this! It's so nice to see him comfortable. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for making Longevity. My older dog, Mia, an eleven year old Terrier mix, was really showing her age. She was limping from a leg injury the vet was uncertain would ever heal. However, after just a few weeks on Longevity (which she loves) I started seeing the puppy return in my dog. She has lost weight, can exercise more, and there is no limp whatsoever. And, here is the real proof. My dog has always had one ear that stays half down. After a few weeks on Longevity I started noticing that both her ears stood straight up. I first wondered what was going on, that Mia looked different; her ears seemed to be quite large. After a few days of this, I actually could feel that the cartilage on her ears was thicker. It is amazing. My sister and friends were laughing a little as she looks like she may take off with the next wind, but I am just thrilled to have my little dog with me as long as possible.
Thanks again, Springtime – keep up the fantastic work!
Your friend and forever customer,

Boomer is my Golden Retriever, and his 14th birthday pictures say it all! Longevity has been his "fountain of youth" for the past two years.
At age twelve, his hips were deteriorating due to joint problems. He was on a low dose of a prescription drug and totally collapsed as a side effect from it. I took him off the medication immediately. I was desperate to find him the right supplement that could help his hips.
That's when my dear friend told me about Longevity. I was amazed to start watching the changes in him. He was walking so much better, and not only that, but his coat was turning luxurious again. My new vet is amazed at how healthy he is for his age. All his organs are working great and his heart is strong. Longevity is so complete that it changed his total health, inside and out. I cannot thank you enough, Springtime, for helping my old boy and giving me the peace of mind that I was doing the very best for him. I tell everyone about the wonders of Longevity. Fourteen years ago, he was the Christmas puppy to three adoring children and over the years has been the most wonderful and loyal friend. He deserves the quality of life that he has given back. Longevity has made that possible. Thank you again, Springtime, for loving our animals and making truly good, effective safe products for them.
Thank you!

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 Chewables to 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!

My beautiful, soon to be 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever, Casey, had a malignant liver tumor removed in the summer of 2005. The options they suggested were not what we wanted for our beloved pet. We wanted his quality of life to be the best and decided to take other steps to make sure he was getting just that.
Three weeks after his liver surgery he ruptured his cruciate ligament in his left hind leg. The vet suggested another operation; she said without the operation he would become lame. We were devastated. Casey has been running with me every day for the past 12 years and the thought of him not being able to do what he loves the most was heartbreaking. Upon hearing this so soon after his first operation we decided to take another route. I found a holistic vet who put him on a special diet with herbs for the liver cancer and acupuncture once a month for his leg. I researched and found Springtime and decided to start him on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. When Longevity came out I decided to try it and now almost two years later his quality of life is what it used to be. We continue to walk everyday and he is healthy and happy. Thanks to your Springtime products, I feel that this has made a tremendous difference in his life and ours.

I own two Jack Russell Terriers, ages eight (Missy) and eleven (Taz). The male, Taz, has been diagnosed this past year with high blood sugar and cortisol levels in the blood. The cortisol level was under control within a few months; however, the blood sugar has been a struggle. To add to his ailments, he developed cataracts very rapidly due to the uncontrolled diabetes. He had only 10% vision remaining. Although he remained a happy dog, it was a heartache to see him struggle outside of his environment in our home.
I have been purchasing your garlic pills to control ticks and fleas for the last few years and am very pleased with the results. I had both dogs on a glucosamine product to help them in their senior years, however, it did not appear to be working after using for one year. Both dogs seemed to suffer from joint pain periodically. I decided to try your Longevity product. I began using Longevity on December 16, 2009, marking the side of the container to monitor any progress noticed.
Within three to four weeks Missy stopped limping (due to a broken leg when she was a puppy), and I noticed that Taz was not struggling to find his way around the house as much. As we neared the end of January, I began to notice his eyes were very clear and it appeared the cataracts were less noticeable. While visiting my vet for Taz's monthly glucose check, I mentioned to him that Taz's vision miraculously seemed to be improving. He stated that he had done research on products with high levels of antioxidants actually dissolving cataracts in dogs and cats.
When I began using the Longevity my hope was to ease both their joint pain, improving their quality of life. Never in my wildest dreams would I believe this product in any way could improve vision for a dog with cataracts! Taz is living proof your product is miraculous! And Missy no longer has her periodic limp from the former broken leg. They both have a little more "pep in their step." I have friends and neighbors with older pets that I have spread the news to about your products. I cannot thank you enough for improving both my dogs' quality of life for however long I have them.

My 15 ½ year old Sheltie, Cassie, had cancer, and was spiraling down. I began her on the Longevity I ordered for my three Shelties. They had all been on Fresh Factors plus Joint Health Formula for years. Within a week on the Longevity, Cassie was more energetic and responsive. She had trouble walking, but Longevity made her love the morning ride in her wheelbarrow again. She definitely improved and was much happier once she was on Longevity. I thank you for helping me give her a good quality of life in her later years.
Sincerely,
Harriet Entin, Missouri

He is my angel on earth. His name is Chance. He is 10 and 1/2 years old. There is no breed like the German Shepherd. He is my loyal, loving companion. I noticed that he had started limping upon arising and when on his walks. This concerned me a lot. I talked to my vet about it and he didn't seem to think there was any need for concern. But concerned I was. I read about Longevity in your catalog and decided to give it a try. He's been on it for about one year. Within three months his limping had improved. I haven't noticed it when he is walking in the house. He does limp on occasion while walking, but I attribute that to being tired from the walk. He has definitely improved. ...I told him he has reverted back to his puppyhood! One of the things he loved to do when he was a puppy was to come into the kitchen while I was doing the dishes and grab any clothing that was available (preferably the hind side) with his teeth and proceed to drag me to the den. He wanted me on the sofa and he would climb into his very own recliner! He is now doing this again as a senior adult! Also, he loves to chase the water from the garden hose sprayer. He goes ballistic if I turn it on to water the flowers! He says the flowers have to wait... Well, I could go on and on like the proud mama I am! Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to validate what you and so many of your customers already know. Longevity is an amazing product! We have an 18 year old Schnauzer, Abbey, who was moving slowly and exhibiting some symptoms of dementia and hearing loss. We started giving her the Longevity along with our other dog who was receiving it for the prevention of joint problems. After a few weeks, Abbey was "hopping like a rabbit" and playing with our puppy like she used to several years ago. Longevity has not been able to cure the dementia or the hearing problems but the mobility changes are unbelievable!
Thanks so much!

Our Husky/Lab Mix, Casey, who is almost ten years old, has had a long bout with joint pain in all four legs. She has been through ACL surgery as well. We've been giving her about two scoops of Longevity morning and evening with her meals for about a year and a half now. We began noticing a difference within a month after starting it. She had more energy, she was running instead of trotting, and she was much more playful with our youngest dog. And just a couple of months ago, she surprised us beyond words - she jumped on our bed! That's something she hasn't done in years!
We are sold on Longevity, and we recommend it to all our friends with older dogs with joint pain.
