About a year ago, Herman, a nine year old Shepherd/Lab mix, developed a torn ligament in his left leg. He was able to walk on only his front and rear right side legs. The vet said he would probably tear the ligament in his right leg as well and suggested an operation that would have cost well over $3,000.00. There was a slim chance that it would heal on its own after many months. It was a chance we decided to take. Sure enough, the second rear leg was affected and he was totally unable to climb stairs or move any distance. We carried him, not an easy task with a dog that weighs over 50 lbs.
We purchased the prescribed medicine and started dosing him. Our grandmother suggested Springtime's Joint Health Chewables which she had used for many years with several dogs so we decided to give it a try. It is now a year later and Herman's recovery is almost total. He has been off the prescription medicine for two months and takes two Joint Health Chews daily. He runs, climbs stairs, jumps on the bed, and except for a slight weakness in his rear legs, he is back to normal. Most importantly, he is happy.

"I am the grandmother in this story who suggested using Springtime for my "granddog," Herman. Because it's been such a miraculous transformation, I decided to write about it and share it with you. Herman is a friendly, obedient, rather shy dog who is extraordinarily sensitive. See him suffer was enough to break our hearts. Seeing his recovery is glorious!"

My 14 year old Collie's hips had become so bad that going through the doggie door was out of the question and she couldn't even handle the four inch step into the house without her hips giving out and collapsing. Callie rarely left her bed, and when she did it would take her several minutes to stand up or we had to pick up her back end to assist her to standing position. Within a week of giving her Joint Health Chewables she was getting up with more ease, totally unassisted and was more active. After a couple of weeks, Callie was using the doggie door again and soon was running around chasing squirrels and playing like she did five years ago. Her hips still give out occasionally when she is running and makes a sharp turn, but she is enjoying life again.
I must say, I was more than a bit skeptical when reading the reviews of miraculous seeming improvements but am now so happy to be writing one myself.
Thanks so much,

Like many service dog handlers, my disabilities (epilepsy, a brain tumor, PTSD and spinal injuries) severely limit my income. However, I do not want this to affect the health and performance of my service dog, Mandi. She has a very sensitive system and is allergic to most grains. These issues are much, much better when I am able to put her on Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules. She is visibly healthier and happier, with a softer coat and clear skin and eyes.
Mandi literally saves my life on a regular basis, and deserves the best care I can provide. Her work alerting and responding to seizures, assisting with balance and mobility, and mitigating PTSD symptoms vastly improves my quality of life, and helps me maintain my independence.
Thanks so much,

I wanted to thank you for your wonderful products. When our Yellow Lab Cheerio was four, she tore an ACL while playing. Upon diagnosis of an ACL tear, surgery was recommended but very costly. Our friends suggested we try Longevity first and we did so. Like a miracle, Longevity stopped Cheerio's suffering from her torn ACLs' and has prevented surgery. My uncle is our veterinarian and is amazed at how much improvement she has shown using your product. He recommends we keep using it.
She quickly went from hobbling around the house in pain to back to swimming and fishing, her favorite activities. Not only is she pain-free and able to run, swim, dive and play; she has been healed naturally. Longevity has kept her body free of dangerous pharmaceuticals and out of surgery for over five years and counting.
I highly recommend it to anyone that has a pet with joint issues or injury and want to see incredible results. They won't be disappointed!
Sincerely,
Joette Revels and "Cheerio," Florida

As usual, THANK YOU for your wonderful products and specials! Honey is still doing fantastic on Longevity and with the addition of the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, enjoying her new house and property! Lacie, her four year old mini Schnauzer friend, and Neon, her one year old Rottie friend are helping keep her active while also benefitting from your wonderful products!
I myself continue to enjoy your Tonic Blend and Joint Health Capsules, and have convinced my 76 year old mother to start taking the Joint Health Capsules as well. She is amazed at how much it helps!
Thank you!

Sadly, Honey passed away a few months later. She will be missed.

The Omega 3-6-9 I ordered from you is having a wonderful effect on my Pitbull, Bruno. He has had skin problems since he was a puppy; blotchy, very red skin on his belly and inner thighs, and incessant scratching. He had been itching constantly and developed scabs along his lower spine and the base of his tail. I am so grateful I found your product and grateful my pup has been given relief. His belly and the insides of his thighs have also begun to clear up from chronic redness and itchiness. It was a veterinarian who recommended Omega 3-6-9 and an internet search that led me to your site. Great product!

Enclosed is a picture of Best In Show Grand Ch. Maric's Truth Be Told. When I got him as a puppy he was not growing the hair I wanted, and he was chewing the hair off his tail. I saw one of your catalogs and decided to order the Omega 3-6-9.
I started him on it and when his breeder took him to show him, she had to thin his coat. He got several Group Placements and a Best In Show under a judge not known to like Toy dogs. He got as high as #5 in All Breed Showing and #18 in Breed competition for 2011.
I got my friend to use it when she was having coat problems on her Papillon. She ended up being the #2 Papillon Bitch for 2011.
I am very pleased with your products. Keep up the good work.
Yours Truly,

We really appreciate your help. We are really thankful that we found your products. Our 12 year old English/Irish Setter mix, Missie, was very sick back in September. We thought we were going to lose her… but thanks to our vet and Missie being such a tough little cookie, she pulled through.
We had been giving her your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, but stopped everything during all the intense medications she was on. Then we started it back up again. She then started acting like a puppy again – playing with our other English setter, Lincoln. She can go up and down the steps and get up on the sofa and bed again. We really trust the quality of your products.
Thanks so much!

I've been using the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables since late May. Smokey is doing so much better! He can get up now!

We have a 6 1/2 year old German Shepherd, Kasha, with immune mediated liver disease. She was on steroids for about four years until we recently were able to wean her off of them. However, the damage was already done. She had severe arthritis in her legs and back.
I found your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables and started giving them to her immediately. Within one week, she was acting like the little puppy she was before. The swelling in her legs went down and she is back to playing ball three times a day. We love that this product is all natural and works so well on her. Thank you so much for giving us back our sweet little girl with her energy and spirit.
Sincerely yours,

Once again, Springtime came to the rescue! I have used a number of Springtime products with my dogs over the years, always with good results. So when my eight-year-old Norwegian Elkhound, Birka, recently started barking at the foot of the stairway and didn't want to come up the stairs, I knew it was time to supplement. In the past, she took the stairs with leaps and bounds, and had always been a very active dog.
After just a few days of giving her Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables, she was back to racing up the stairs and jumping with ease.
Thanks to Springtime, she is my energetic happy girl again, able to run and play with our other dog.

This is our big boy, Max. He is five. But since he has been one years old he has suffered terribly from allergies. We tried a couple of vets, shots, allergy testing, new foods, home made foods (mostly "raw") - anything to save him from pure misery. Latest was steroids...it was a nightmare, as he had infections and mange that would not heal. His entire immune function was gone! I prayed and cried for him. He was sad and hid from us. As if to say "I'm miserable, don't touch me!"
So one day, after much looking for natural answers, I found the Springtime company. I can't tell you enough how this is like a miracle for Max's life. Four years of suffering GONE! It's like we have a 'puppy' in our home. He grabs toys now and runs around the house with our other Lab teasing and wanting us to chase him all over. He crashes on our bed in the morning as if to say, "Good morning! I'm alive and love you and I love life!" We are in awe and want to thank you!
For Max, it was in about a week of solid use of the following: Longevity, Fresh Factors, Bug Off Garlic Chewables andSpringtime Bee Pollen. I think the secret ingredient here in this story is Bee Pollen! Max had tested positive for: mold, dust mites, grass allergies and more. Max had lost almost all of his gorgeous fur of honey and beach sand colors. He was vomiting blood and throwing up often. Complete sadness. Nothing we tried did what these products could do for our Max. His fur is coming back full and thick and his joy level is off the charts. Can you imagine how we feel?
THANK YOU!

I was doing a Greyhound adoption meet and greet last weekend and overheard a dog trainer talking to a couple who had a young German Shepherd. She was telling them to get some supplements to keep their dogs' joints healthy. I waited for the couple to walk out of the class and told them to check out the Joint Health Chewables from Springtime. I know a number of greyhound parents who have their hounds on it and they do very well. My Greyhound, Peace, just turned 12 yesterday. She ran 177 races and had two litters of puppies. She doesn't act stiff when she gets out, no limping or joint discomfort. She has been on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) for the last 3 years. I recommend your products to all the new adopters.
Thanks again,

Josh and I adopted Jax on July 7, 2013 from Wisconsin Rottweiler Rescue in Madison, WI. In the few short months that we have had Jax he has been an amazing addition to our family. He does so well with all of our nieces and nephews and they all can't wait to see him when he visits or when they visit us.
We knew shortly after we got Jax that he had some issues with his back legs and took him to the vet to have it checked and they monitor him. We then enrolled him in puppy school with Cindy Steinke at K9 Elementary who noticed what we had about his leg problems and recommended that we check out the Springtime website and maybe try starting Jax on Fresh Factors.
I saw results with Jax's ease of movement within the first few weeks of him taking Fresh Factors. His comfort level is so much better and he is acting like the 2 year old dog he truly is instead of being sore and stiff all the time. I'm so glad that we were recommended Fresh Factors for Jax. He is doing so much better since being on Fresh Factors that we are going to continue him on them in the future.
Thank you so much,
Megan, Josh and "Jax" Spatz, Wisconsin

I want to let you know that I had my doggies on these supplements for a while now (Fresh Factors, Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Omega 3-6-9) and I ran out about a month ago. The budget was pretty tight and I didn't reorder until now (bad dog mom!). Within a few weeks of stopping their "goodies," both of my dogs started shedding heavier (I have Siberian Huskies – so that's a BIG deal!) and have gone back to their former itchy selves. It's not quite as bad as it was before because I am feeding an ultra-high quality dog food now, but the difference in them when they are on your products versus being off your products is very significant. They still have beautiful coats when off, but they also have less shine.
I am sold, and I won't let them run out again!

I have been a customer since the '90's, lost my dogs in 2009, and now I'm back with a new puppy, Libby, a tripod. I love Springtime products and have sent you so many customers over the years. Every time a friend would tell me her dog was getting stiff, slowing down, etc., I would give them a small bottle of Fresh Factors and a few weeks later they would be thanking me profusely.
This action photo shows what a terrific stride Libby has with only three legs.
Keep up the good work!

I love your company, that's all. Fresh Factors have been a great help to me and my dogs over the years. And I have turned on many of my friends to your products. You help us humans as well, of course. Peace of mind and much lower vet bills are just two of the benefits! You are the best!

I want to thank you for making a wonderful product. My wife and I have a 15 ½ year old Chow Chow named Peekaboo. A little over two years ago her veterinarian thought she had just a few days to live. She had stopped eating for over a week and after some x-rays he told us that it looked as though she had stomach cancer. She was vomiting and passing blood. Things looked really bad for our girl. We had tried so many different things trying to get her to eat with no success.
After trying everything I could think of, I remembered Fresh Factors ... Something unbelievable happened when she got the nourishment from the Fresh Factors – our girl wanted to live again!
Now, over two years later she is still doing very well, getting two Fresh Factors per day ever since. She is over 110 years old in dog years and still doing well. She acted like a puppy last summer when we took her to the Bighorn Mountains for a week. There is nothing like seeing your very old dog enjoy life like she did in her younger years. I don't know how much more time she has, but I know for a fact that Fresh Factors has given us nearly 2 ½ quality years we almost didn't have.
You folks make products that give so much more than you know. The extra time we've had with Peekaboo is something we will cherish forever!
Thank you!

I wanted you to know that after 20 years, I'm still a Springtime friend and customer. I've told so many people about Springtime, and I'm so proud of your products.
I have attached a picture of George, my sweet boy. Isn't he the best? He's a gorgeous 5 yr old brindle and white Bulldog, and has always been so very healthy. He has been on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, and Bug Off Garlic Chewables since they were each 10 weeks old.
Thank you, again, for being who you are. Much love to all our friends at Springtime!

Thank you! I was just at the Humane Society getting our 11 year old black Lab/Border's blood sugars checked (he's been diabetic and on insulin for two years.) Our life time Vet can't believe how well Shadow is doing, as he has not gone blind and is really thriving -- it's the Fresh Factors. While there, I also recommended it to a woman with a dog she'd just adopted who had a leg that had been broken and set twice. I shared with her that our Humane Society adopted "lame-legged" Louie is completely fine, with no leg problems and runs like a pup-champ with a smile!
Thanks again, from our family & our three beloved pups!
