Discomfort Success Stories
Dear Springtime,
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.
Sincerely,
Earl & Dianna Dilulio, Maryland

Dear Springtime,
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.
Sincerely,
Debra Dodgson, Pennsylvania

Dear Springtime,
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
Note: Sadly, Cassie passed away November 2, 2007.

Dear Springtime,
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!

Dear Springtime,
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!

Dear Springtime,
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.

Dear Springtime,
The first order of Longevitywas a big hit and what a difference it has made for Shug! She no longer mopes around, unable and or unwilling to go for walks or play. She is so much better since starting the Longevity – there is a sparkle back in her eyes and a spring in her step! I just had to say "Thanks!"

Dear Springtime,
I just felt I had to write and tell you what great results I have had using your Longevity product and Fresh Factors. I have a Champion smooth Dachshund that for the last two falls into winters has totally blown his coat and gotten a very sparse coat with a dry, brittle feel to it. This fall he was just shown at Dachshund Club of America and his overall appearance and condition has never been better! His coat shines and his musculature is just gorgeous! I just wanted to write and say thank you! I am sure it is due to the use of your products.

Dear Springtime,
As a health-oriented breeder of quality AKC Rough Collies, I am always looking for quality supplements to bring out the best in my kennel dogs. My female Rough Collie was on Longevity for several months before we bred her. And, she continued on Longevity throughout the pregnancy.
Wow, did we get a big surprise when she whelped a litter of 11 puppies! We were only expecting six pups by the ultrasound. So we did not expect this many pups. This was an exceptionally large litter.
All pups came out with normal weights for their sex. I had no runts. And none died. All pups survived and are now thriving little dogs. That in itself is some kind of record for health and robustness of the pups.
Also, our eye check for Collie Eye Anomaly, a genetic defect, came out terrific! None of the 11 puppies had a coloboma (a genetic defect). This is quite some record, as litters usually have one or two coloboma pups. Some breeders have more.
So I must say, as the breeder, some magic happened with this breeding and litter. Healthy pups, great eye checks, all pups are happy and thriving. So, I think some magic happened with Longevity in the diet.
Now Mom has her 'figure' back to her trim and slim self, and has rebounded with robust health and beautiful fur growing back in.
What can I say? It must be the Longevity magic at work!

Dear Springtime,
I am writing to you to express my amazement at the reaction of my dogs to your Longevity. They are all on a high quality dog food, enriched with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. I had refrained from ordering this for many years due to the fact that it was a granule product to be sprinkled on top of the food. My guys are particular, and I assumed they would dislike the topping. I could not be more wrong!!!! I initially ordered this as a bonus item as part of my last Fresh Factors order. They simply could not get enough of this product! I was astounded! I recently placed a full order of the Longevity product and have received it. They are absolutely ballistic over this product! Thank you so much for making a product that apparently added nutrients that they are missing from their diet. I'm sure their overall health will be greatly improved from this supplement.
Sincerely,
Diane Lee, Texas

Dear Springtime,
I got the spring catalog with my Bernese Mountain Dog puppy Odin's picture in it. And it looks great. I just want you to know that we now refer to Longevity as "Miracle Grow." Odin is now 10 months old and 110 lbs. Here he is with his new friend, Asgaard's Iris, who is eight weeks old, and of course, already enjoying the benefits of Longevity (as well as some green grass!).

Dear Springtime,
I just had to write about the changes we see in our 14 year old Golden Retriever/Cocker Spaniel Mix. Last summer Beau's former owner felt it wouldn't be long before he would have to put Beau to sleep. When the neighbor died last fall, we took Beau into our household as we had promised. I started him on Springtime Longevity and we are amazed at his new lease on life! He not only is happier and more active but also actually runs around playing with my two boisterous Norwegian Elkhounds. They are just one and four years old respectively so they give him quite a workout.
I wouldn't be surprised if Beau celebrates more birthdays with us, seeing how he has bloomed while on Longevity. The two Elkhounds are getting Fresh Factorsand doing well on that. Pretty soon they will be hard pressed to keep up with him! I enclosed a photo of Beau…just look at the sparkle in Beau's eyes!

Dear Springtime,
I think it's about time I shared my Springtime story with your company. I share my home and life with two wonderful Doberman Pinschers, Cisco and Bella. Cisco, at nearly 10 years of age, had begun to show some tell-tale signs of being an older dog; he slowed down a bit, walked a little gingerly, and declined to play with the ever persistent if not obnoxious Bella. Cisco and I had competed quite regularly in obedience trials, and I thought in his twilight years he deserved to "take it easy." I had been ordering Springtime Stress Free Calmplex for Cisco for some time to help combat his severe separation anxiety, when I read about Longevity. I decided I should give it a try. Bella was herself working in obedience and nearing her championship in conformation, she could obviously benefit from it, so why not give the old man some too?
Bella's coat improved dramatically, she was retaining her conditioning better, and she just appeared healthier. But Bella was not what shocked me. Cisco seemed like a new dog. Cisco chased after Bella, he play-bowed, and ran around the yard. He literally had a spring in his step. Now I'm a skeptic, so I was hesitant to attribute to Longevitythat my semi-geriatric Doberman could now bound across the yard, but it was the only thing that had changed in his diet and his life. Clearly, it was the Longevity.
Cisco had always loved to train and compete in obedience. Judges always commented on how happy he looked when we were showing. On a whim, I decided to enter Cisco in a Rally trial. When Cisco realized HE was the one going to the show, he bounced all the way out to the car! After we were done competing, several spectators approached us to compliment Cisco's enthusiasm. You should have seen their mouths hit the ground when I told them he'd be ten in a week! He was the oldest dog competing by several years!
I could not have asked for more. Cisco loved competing again, and I had so much fun taking him through his paces, but the best was yet to come. Out of 17 dogs, Cisco and I were awarded first place!
Thank you Springtime for making Longevity!

Dear Springtime,
My oldest Bearded Collie, Frankie, was 15 in October of 2009. She had a great life, but was not aging with the quality that we felt was right for her. When I saw the material on Longevity, it wasn't a choice, we had to try it.
We wanted the quality of her life even towards the end to be as full as we could make it, and it wasn't going that way. So we carefully evaluated our first month on Longevity.
She can once again get on the couch. Maybe not a big deal for our other four dogs, but huge for her. She wanted to go on walks with the other dogs now. Prior to this the thought of going beyond the mailbox was way out of her ability. She trots again, not far but often into the house, where she used to walk really slowly.
None of these things are unusual, but for this dog, they were giant steps back towards life like we knew her. She has been taking Longevity for more than three months now, and we will continue using it.
Not everything with Longevity has been easy. She doesn't like the taste, wet, dry, or mixed in yogurt or other mediums. But we continue getting it in her, and being blessed by her daily dog smile, her participating in small house rituals, and the knowledge that life is still good for her. That is all we asked for.
So even though we aren't the average Longevity purchaser, I felt that I should share our story.

Dear Springtime,
I just returned home from a half-day meeting. Figured my nine year old, 85 lb yellow Lab Zach would be fine not being crated for a couple of hours… As you can figure, I wouldn't be writing if that were the case. I got home and found (among other things) my jar of Spirulina Tablets in bits and pieces. Of course, there were no bits and pieces of the tablets! I guess he figured since I feed him Longevity in his bowl twice a day, why not help himself to these?
I called to check with one of your customer reps, just to be sure that I didn't need to worry about his ingestion of these. And she assured me that I was correct, I didn't need to worry. I'll be holding off on his Longevity supplement for a couple of days, but Zach sure likes Longevity AND Spirulina Tablets!
As an aside – since starting him on Longevity, I've noticed a great improvement in his walking and alertness, as well as his coat being much softer. He's a rescue and has had bad knees since I got him. Since the Longevity, he is walking a ton better!
I've included some pics of the little stinker with his bottle of accomplishment… No guilt with this one! Thanks for your great products, both human and dog. I'll be reordering soon!

Dear Springtime,
My name is Clementine and I am a Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix. I will have a big birthday coming up. I will be 18 years old October 31, 2006.
I thank you and my parents for making and giving me Longevity, Joint Health Chewables, and Fresh Factors. I am feeling so much better now. My hips don't hurt as much and I can now play and keep up with my playmates, Chloe and Sandy, who are also on Springtime products.
Thank you for keeping us healthy, happy and strong.

Dear Springtime,
Since I tell every dog person I know about your product, I thought it might time to tell you! A few years ago, I noticed my then nine year old Havanese, Clover, starting to slow down. He'd been a great performance dog - obedience, agility, rally- and it looked like it was starting to catch up with him. I had him on glucosamine/chondroitin from the pet store and didn't notice a whole lot of difference. A professional handler friend I knew recommended Fresh Factors, as all of her show dogs are on them. I looked at the website and decided that for my small dog, I'd spring for Longevity.
I could have sworn I saw a difference in him within days, but being slightly cynical, I thought it was my imagination. After two weeks on it, I was gone a long day and dropped off Clover with my parents for the day. They had no idea he was on anything new, and went on and on about how he was having "such a good day," wanting to play ball and bounce around. At that point, I knew the Longevity was making a huge difference. A few years later, I moved and switched vets. She gave him a routine physical and commented that his eyes looked cloudy for his age but he was otherwise in great shape. I asked how old she thought he was and she guessed him to be at a little more than HALF his age! Suffice it to say, she then said his eyes looked normal but the rest of him was unbelievable!
I've since added Bug Off Garlic Granules (also amazing) and am switching from the fish oil I had been using to your new Omega 3-6-9 product. I also put all of my show dog clients on Longevity. You can literally see the line of new coat growth and the huge difference it makes.
One of the first hurdles I had with Longevity is that feeding it as you recommend meant my white dog had bright green all over his face after every meal. I got tired of washing his face. I eventually started throwing a spoonful of "loaf style" canned food (not in gravy) in the bowl, then the Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules. I mix the powders into the canned food then mix it in the dry food. Problem solved - no more green face!
Attached is a photo of Clover on his 13th birthday. People meet him and are blown away when they ask his age, because he's still running and bouncing around. He had a cruciate ligament repaired in his knee last December (because he was running laps with my aunt's one year old Havanese!) and he boggled the vet with how quickly he recovered, especially give the severity of his injury and his age.
Thank you for such an amazing product!

Dear Springtime,
We began giving Longevity to our 14 year old Chocolate Labrador, Reese, in late November 2008. By mid-December, he began showing an interest in his toys again (something he hadn't done in years.)
He now brings his favorite ball to us for games of fetch every day. He is not as quick as he once was, but it brings us such joy to see him play again! Adding a few rounds of fetch to his daily walk has resulted in his taking some weight off too!
Last night when we returned home from work, we caught Reese napping on our sofa. He had not been able to climb on our furniture for years due to weakness in his hind quarters.
Because this supplement comes in a powdered form, it is easy to administer by simply adding it to his daily food. I also found that by introducing it gradually per the instructions, it was well tolerated.
I have never written to any company about a product, but the significant difference Longevity has made in the quality of our dog's life has inspired me to thank you! We recommend your products to every dog owner we meet.
Sincerely,
Patty Smith, West Virginia

Dear Springtime,
Your product Longevity has eliminated the need for my dog, Chloe, to have surgery for a luxating patella. She is happy and seemingly pain-free. Her knee cap no longer slips out of place. I am so very thankful to you and your company!
