Discomfort Success Stories
Dear Springtime,
We started using Fresh Factors when Emmett, our English bulldog mix, had a spiral fracture to his right leg in January 2008. Emmett had already had a total hip replacement and a TPLO on one knee when the accident happened. Texas A&M set Emmett's leg with a steel rod and an external fixture and advised us we were in for at least 14 weeks of grueling attentive cleaning and care to pull our sweet Emmett to mobile status again. After just 10 weeks the doctors at Texas A&M were amazed at Emmet's healing progress and removed the external fixture, FOUR WEEKS EARLY. They had to know what we were feeding Emmett. We explained that the week we brought Emmett home after they had set his leg, we received a catalogue from Springtime and ordered Fresh Factors to give it a try. The results were amazing. Thank you.

Dear Springtime,
I am so grateful for your products and the quality of life it has provided our very loved, four legged members of our family. Kiya, our Akita, has been having a lot of breathing issues (my vet said it is similar to COPD, and we don't smoke). It was breaking our hearts to think of putting her down, but it had gotten to where she had been having accidents, and was unable to make it outside because the cold took her breath away. I began giving her the Fresh Factors ground up in her food with a couple of raw eggs and some of the Bug Off Garlic Chewables. She was also on some prednisone from the vet. In less than two weeks, she was able to get up and willingly go outside on her own! Amazing! She still had some trouble with labored breathing, but she hadn't collapsed and I didn't see her tongue turn blue. I then ordered more Fresh Factors and added the Joint Health Chewables. I also decided to chance a try at the Breather Powder, as the vet said her symptoms were similar to heaves in horses. Kiya is 100 pounds, and I gave her about ¼ teaspoon mixed in with her dinner. Now her breathing seems less labored, and once again, she got up and out. Her eyes look brighter and she is more alert. She was sleeping so much more before.
Spirit has had problems with chronic yeast infections in her ears, and had been a nervous chewer, gnawing on her front legs, which she has stopped since taking her Fresh Factors. She takes them like a treat but Kiya won't, so we crush them into a powder.
I didn't want to make this so lengthy, but I always tell my friends about the summer when Spirit was attacked by bees. She had been on her Bug Off Garlic Chewables since March and the incident happened in late August. My young son was walking his "puppy" and hooked her leash to a log on the wood pile. None of us had noticed bees there before, but when the dog pulled they swarmed her. Fortunately, we had the hose on, as we were watering the horses. I called the vet, who advised us to give her benedryl, and to watch her for seizures or shock. I picked several bees out of her fur, and noticed that while she was covered in bees, there were no welts, and no evidence she had been stung. I later looked on the internet and read of several instances where dogs had died from similar events. All I can say is thank God she was on Bug Off Garlic Chewables!
My husband and I use and love the joint health for people too.
Thank you for the wonderful products and great service!

Dear Springtime,
I love these products. My 12 year old pup, Conor, has been suffering from recurring skin infections for over three years. Since his last round of antibiotics, I put him on Fresh Factors and he has had very minimal recurrences of the problem. And, his coat looks terrific! Glad I came back!

Dear Springtime,
I can't remember who I spoke with when I placed the last order, but I told her I'd send a picture of my dog Chip. He turned 9 in May and we will be celebrating nine years together later this month. I found out about Fresh Factors in the mid '90s when I had a Shepherd mix named Bud. He had torn his ACL and developed some joint issues in the knee a couple of years later. The vet had him taking pain medication, but a co-worker told me about Fresh Factors. Because of your product, I was able to stop giving the pain medication to Bud. He passed away in 2002, and I ended up adopting Chip (possibly an Anatolian Shepherd mix). I decided to start giving Fresh Factors to Chip a couple of years ago just for preventative maintenance purposes. The attached photo was taken in December when we were on vacation in Florida. Even at age 9, Chip has lots of energy and can outrun many dogs half his age.
Thanks for keeping your product reasonably priced!

Dear Springtime,
Last December, I took my little brown dog, Gracie, to my vet at least three times for a treatment for terrible lick granuloma that she had on her rear leg. She was put onto a protocol of antibiotics and several other drugs to help her heal. Unfortunately, none of them worked.
I decided that going natural was the key to our success. I adjusted her diet cutting out corn, wheat, soy and dairy, and I added Fresh Factors and Omega 3-6-9. Today, almost a year later, she is not licking anymore, and her leg has healed (and she has great skin and a beautiful coat)! I'd love to say that it is a miracle, but I am more convinced that you simply provide a good product that does what it says. Thank you – I look forward to shopping with you for many more years.

Dear Springtime,
Our dog, Elmo, was born with many physical problems, which we have tried to care for. Fresh Factors was recommended to me by a friend for Elmo's joints. After a couple of months, I saw great improvement in my dog's walking. Thanks for a great product.

Dear Springtime,
One of my members (of Majesty Rottweiler Rescue, Inc.), Mr. Jim Wells, has been purchasing your products for a very long time and simply raves about the wonderful affects it has on the dogs. This was proven to me when we took in two senior Rottie boys, Jimmy and Sammy, who were in terrible shape. They were very skinny, their coats were very dull and falling out and they had hot spots in several places. They both looked so old and in such bad shape we really didn't hold out much hope for them. Mr. Wells purchased your Fresh Factors and they were given as prescribed every day, and within no time both their coats became soft, silky and stopped falling out, and the hot spots went away completely. To say I was amazed is truly an understatement. I was thrilled; we started giving Fresh Factors to all of the pups who came in along with our own.

"… no better feeling in this world than to see my dogs walk pain-free, run, swim, or play ball again."
Dear Springtime,
About a year ago, I had written a letter regarding my German Shepherds, JR and Emma. At the time, I started using Fresh Factors. My 11 year old male, JR, was blind with an old injury in his leg from an accident. My 11 year old female, Emma, had cancer, two mammary tumors and a tumor consuming 47% of her abdomen. She had been given two days to two weeks, max, to live. Both were in terrible pain, we were carrying both outside, and they could barely walk. I had made plans for euthanasia for both. Thanks to your wonderful products I was able to cancel those plans. I was so happy with the results that I began giving all eight of my dogs your products! I've ordered Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Bee Pollen, and Stress Free Calmplex, and I have not been disappointed!
Although a month ago, I lost my beloved JR to bone cancer, I am happy to report that Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) greatly improved his quality of life until the end. Emma is still going strong at 12! I am also thrilled to report that a recent trip to the vet shows that one of her mammary tumors is dead, the other mammary tumor and the tumor in her abdomen have STOPPED growth! I am attaching photos of Emma (black & tan) with her eight year old sister, Ada (black & tan longcoat), It is clear that they are both doing very well! Even the vet is pleased with the improved health of the dogs. I'm pleased that we make far less trips to his office!
I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am to my Mom for suggesting the use of your products, or to Springtime for making these miracle working products. There was no better feeling in this world than to see my dogs walk pain-free, run, swim, or play ball again. I was given the gift of an additional quality year with JR and I've been given the gift of an additional year and counting with Emma.
Rest assured, I will continue to recommend your products to others and give samples from my private stock. I will be a guaranteed customer for life! Thank you so very much!

Dear Springtime,
I have enclosed a picture of my Pugs. We started using Fresh Factors in '96, and our Pug, Tigger, was 9 years old at the time. She had degeneration of the spinal cord. She had lost use of her hind legs and we got her a wheel chair and in the spring of '96 she began losing control of her bowels. I had received your catalog in the mail, so I ordered Fresh Factors. Within two weeks Tigger was back to playing with her sister Banjo. It was amazing to say the least! She had regained control of her bowels and lived seven more happy years. We have had all of our pugs on Fresh Factors and just last year we put Columbo on Joint Health Chewables full time. They love Bee Pollen too – they beg for that! Banjo lived to be 17 years old, we just lost her last summer. I know their longevity is due to your products.

Dear Springtime,
I have had really good luck with your products – that's why I've reordered. I had bought Fresh Factors a long time ago for one of my dogs that had hip problems. It helped her a lot right up till the end and now I have two more that are having trouble. I received a flyer from you (since I had lost the number) and remembered how well it worked, so I ordered for them. I just reordered so I don't run out!
Thank you,

Dear Springtime,
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 and pain-free.
Semper Fido,
Marilyn Wilson, New York
2012 Update on Tsunami
Dear Springtime,
Tsunami is aging. She was the product of traditional veterinary medicine for half of her life. Over vaccination, numerous treatments of antibiotics and steroids, commercial dog foods were her bane. And a search dog works hard and many times in hostile environments. She suffered from tickborne diseases, arthritis and heart disease. Fortunately, with the help of alternative medicine and fine holistic veterinarians like Margo Roman, DVM, Tsunami is enjoying her retirement.
On the 10th Anniversary of 9-11, Tsunami and I attended a ceremony at Liberty State Park (Findingoneanother.org) honoring the work of the K9 SAR teams, and so many more rescue and recovery workers who shed sweat and tears during the exhaustive search and recovery operations following September 11, 2001.

Dear Springtime,
First, let me say – Thank you! Your product helped our 10 year old Lab/Australian Shepherd/Spaniel mix gain his mobility back. At age 9, Bliss tore his ACL, and never really recovered from it. After surgery, the vet recommended glucosamine/chondroitin, and we gave him that for about six months without any noticeable improvement. Our hearts were very heavy with having a "young" dog that was miserable and didn't want to move. A neighbor, knowing how this dog loved to walk, saw me basically pulling him just to give him some exercise. She recommended your Joint Health Chewables and I ordered them that night. We got it several days later and notice an immediate improvement within a week of giving him the first chewable! He'll now "jog" with us and runs around the yard. Truly, we feel that you gave us our dog back!
I thank you for creating a product that really does WORK and improves the lives of aging dogs.

Dear Springtime,
For the past three months, I've been giving my 20 lb, Shi/Poo named Lilybug, Joint Health Chewables. Before giving them to her, she was listless, could hardly jump the threshold to get into the house and would only walk (haltingly) a short distance into the yard. Taking her on a half mile walk, I considered carrying her part of the way, but she was too heavy for me. Now she bounds out the door, explores all of our acre yard. She lets us know when she wants to go out. She doesn't tire on our walk. She is a different dog to hubby and me. Her personality is more loving and active.
We are seniors and rescued her from a puppy mill where she was in a pen with 70 other dogs. I'm sure that's where she obtained her joint pain. She will be seven years old in April. I am so happy I tried the Joint Health Chewables. It's a joy to see her play and run around the yard.

Dear Springtime,

Mountains.
Dear Springtime,
To my amazement, my 10 year-old lab Dandelion (who has had two ACL repairs) hikes up the Arizona mountains faster than I do! There was a time when she could hardly walk, but after taking your Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors, she had a remarkable turnaround. I got my walking and hiking partner back! We are so grateful and will never use any other products for our girl. Thank you so much.

Dear Springtime,
I have a 10 year old rescue dog, Suky, that has had surgery on her hind leg (torn ligament) and joint issues in all the other legs. She lost nearly all muscle mass on the surgery leg because she never fully continued to use it. I had to put a harness with a handle on her so I could assist her up and down the stairs. I wanted to try your product because you get more for your money! Maybe it's been a year now since she started Joint Health Chewables and both back legs have muscle mass back. She leaps and bounds like a puppy, and doesn't need to wear the assist harness anymore. She runs up and down stairs now, thank you!

"The Joint Health Formula really helped relieve the stiffness and inflammation…"
Dear Springtime,
My husband and I have been raising and working with sled dogs in interior Alaska for over 30 years. The card I sent was our Christmas card for 2010. That's Jacob on the cover with me. At eight years old, he's one of our younger dogs.
Our dogs are older now, as we are. We currently have 15 dogs, and most are 8-13 years old. We've been using Joint Health Formula for 10 years now. At the time, several of our dogs were having back problems. The Joint Health really helped support the stiffness and inflammation they were experiencing. We've used it ever since. We buy it 10 lbs. at a time and put two big scoops in their breakfast bucket. Your catalog markets the 10 lb size for horses, but it's an economical way to buy it for a dog team as well.
The "runs" with our younger dogs are more like "walks" these days and the distances we go are closer to five miles than the 50 mile days we did in past years. The Joint Health Formula really helps our dogs continue to enjoy this sport we all love so much. They still jump around like puppies when it is time to go.
Thank you,
Rebecca and Doug Bowers, Alaska

Dear Springtime,
I buy Longevity for Nellie, who is about 7 1/2 years old. She was a victim of "hit and run" about five years ago and now is so full of joint pain! She and our other rescue, Foster (died 12/2/2008, at age 13), had run across the street when my hubby forgot to shut the gate. Nellie came when he called them to come back, but Foster just kept doing his thing. Nellie, being mostly Collie, ran back across the street to "herd" Foster back home and while running to get him, was hit by the car of two teenage boys, who decided to keep on going!
She is on a pain killer every day and this will continue the rest of her life. Prior to starting Longevity, she slept most of the day and had a very hard time getting up and laying down. She was also losing interest in eating. I had tried Nellie on your Combo, but she would not eat them and I already had so many other pills I had to force down her throat. I then tried theLongevity. Within two days, Nellie showed improvement! It's a miracle! I give her a heaping scoopful in both her daily meals. (It looks weird and smells kind of yukky, but I don't have to eat it and she will, so that's all that matters!) Nellie will now play some with Joey, our other rescue dog. Being that he is probably only three, he is still puppy enough to beg her to play all the time. Before she would not budge, but now will get up and play, several times a day! She will also try to run to keep up with him, which of course is her "dream!" She also has more interest in eating, which is a feat in itself, because she has never been a good eater.
Thanks again for your products!

I buy Longevity for Nellie, who is about 7 1/2 years old. She was a victim of "hit and run" about five years ago and now is so full of joint pain! She and our other rescue, Foster (died 12/2/2008, at age 13), had run across the street when my hubby forgot to shut the gate. Nellie came when he called them to come back, but Foster just kept doing his thing. Nellie, being mostly Collie, ran back across the street to "herd" Foster back home and while running to get him, was hit by the car of two teenage boys, who decided to keep on going!
She is on a pain killer every day and this will continue the rest of her life. Prior to starting Longevity, she slept most of the day and had a very hard time getting up and laying down. She was also losing interest in eating. I had tried Nellie on your Combo, but she would not eat them and I already had so many other pills I had to force down her throat. I then tried theLongevity. Within two days, Nellie showed improvement! It's a miracle! I give her a heaping scoopful in both her daily meals.

Dear Springtime,
Roscoe and Riana are my best friends and companions. Roscoe was rescued from the M.S.P.C.A. in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts when he was six months old. One year after, he needed cruciate surgery. After the long road to his recovery, I started mixing Longevity in his food. Not long after, I noticed how much improved and how much quicker and stronger his leg was. I believe this would not have been possible had I not known about Longevity (which my friend, Chris O'Leary, told me about).
One year later, Roscoe's other cruciate needed surgery. Again, Longevity to the rescue! After the physical therapy, Roscoe and Riana are running and playing (very rough, I might add) and enjoying life again!
Thanks again for helping me to help Roscoe and Riana be the strong, healthy members of my family that they are today.
Sincerely,
Jim Collie, Massachusetts
