Discomfort Success Stories

Dear Springtime,
Springtime service is excellent! You order stuff and get it in just a couple of days! I have a young cat named Sam that injured himself somehow and obviously had back, hip, and shoulder pain. He either fell out of a tree or off my second floor porch, I'm thinking. He got a little better, and then got sore again so I ordered Fresh Factors for him - a product I have used in the past with great success! After a couple of days taking Fresh Factors he is like a different cat! Great products, great service!

Dear Springtime,
Amoke was the fifth dog we've given Fresh Factors to, and I'm certain it extended her life and her comfort. She was adopted from the city pound as a six to nine month old pup in June of 1994. She'd been on Fresh Factors since she was about six years old.
She was extremely devoted to my husband who spoiled her with many treats and she generally ignored the rest of us. We thought she would pine away when he succumbed to lung cancer in 2009, but she didn't. She continued to go up and down the steps to the back yard until the day she died, at the end of April 2013. She was 19 years old, or as the veterinarian told us, 106 in human years.

Dear Springtime,
This is not about one specific product, but about the great customer service and prompt shipment that I always get. I have been ordering from Springtime for quite a while. It started out with Joint Health Chewables for my yellow Lab and J-Flex Concentrate for one of my boarders. It has since grown to a number of different things that I use now. I can't say enough good things about your company. Customer service is always courteous and helpful. Thank you Springtime for being a great company. I look forward to doing more business with you.

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to say thanks so much for making your Joint Health Chewables. My Jake will be 11 years old in February and is the happiest, healthiest, most loving companion. Your supplements keep him healthy, moving freely and strong. There is a light in his eyes of youth and vigor. No one believes he's almost 11. Two pills daily of the Joint Health Chewables have given him the highest quality of life.
Many, many, many thanks!

Dear Springtime,
I was just on your site and saw the testimonial I wrote two years ago for Longevity is still posted.
I thought you would like to know that Skye, my German Shepherd, is now 9 ½ and Buddy, my tri-pod Golden Retriever will be 13 next month (April). Both are still on Longevity and both are still going strong and volunteering with me in animal assisted therapy.
Thank you for your part in helping me keep my dogs healthy! Longevity Rocks!

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to let you know that Longevity took care of the tear staining on my four month old Bichon Frise puppy. I used to use the Angel Eyes product on my other Bichon, but because it has a low grade antibiotic in it, I didn't want to use it regularly because it would alter his flora and I was afraid he would end up with a yeast infection in his ears.
Thankfully, I talked to Trista and she recommended that I try Longevity. It took a few weeks, but when I cut off the stained fur the new fur was perfectly white. Longevity took care of his tearstains completely and he is so healthy. Even though I raw feed him, he still needed the Longevity to get rid of the tear staining. Thank you, Springtime, for a completely safe and healthy product!
Warmly,

Dear Springtime,
This is my 5 year old greyhound, Gilly Boy, after putting him on Longevity and a raw diet. I read that Longevity made their coat healthy and pretty so I thought I'd try it as his coat was kind of thin and had brown spots on it when I got him. The only other supplements he got were melatonin and some fish oil. Now his coat is like lustrous dark black velvet and he gets many compliments. Remarkable, isn't it?
I have one other Longevity fed dog – Momma Seabird (JC's Seabird). She was a brood momma and was 10 years old when I adopted her. She had a yucky fungus or something on two of her toes that the vet couldn't clear up. I had read a testimonial about how Longevity cleared some kind of fungus on another lady's dog so I thought since I was going to give it to Gilly for his coat, I would 'try' it on Momma, too, and see if it did anything. It cleared the fungus and the toes got well! Momma is 12 now and in great health as you can see. She also gets the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables. I continue to be impressed with your products after using them for many years. My many dogs and I say THANKS!!!

Dear Springtime,
I cannot say enough wonderful things about your products. We use Longevity and have used it for years. Some of our dogs are getting older and are still going strong, with hunting, swimming and performance. I feel so comfortable that you use top grade products and want only the best for our dogs.
Having the #1 dog in the country year after year, we depend on companies like you to help our vision. Thank you for all you do. What a fabulous company who truly has their heart in the right place, betterment and health of the dogs!

Dear Springtime,
I have been using Springtime products as long as I can remember. For 20 some years, I have also been part of a number of geriatric dog rescues. Although I am no longer formally involved, Longevity and your canine joint products remain an important part for my own personal elder pooches daily regimen. I wish I had known about them when I started rescue!
Sam, my rescued yellow Lab, came from a horrific situation (owner surrender-neglect) in April 2011. The vets deemed him a 1 on a scale of 1-10 with little chance of survival mostly because of his malnutrition (42 lbs) and his age. His physical issues included: severe emaciation, mysterious wounds, rotten teeth, hip/leg issues, lack of muscle mass, and within two months of intake, bloat (which almost killed him). His coat/hair was like straw where it covered his body, and his stomach and nose had no hair on it at all (see pictures). His head was sunken, and you could see every rib and his spine.
Sam's a miracle dog surviving all odds. He weighs 64 lbs now! I can attest that the combination of love, quality food and Springtime products helped in making a difference! One of the standard products he consumes is Longevity which has not only helped him retain mobility, but has helped his coat and overall body weight as well as his fickle digestion. During his rehab, all of his hair/fur fell out and has grown back soft and beautiful. Sam eats small meals three times a day, and each meal he gets two scoops of Longevity.
Sam is now technically a failed foster, and will live out his life with me. I have truly enjoyed every minute with this special dog. I love him to death and because of your products, which have been a life saver for my boy... I know that his life and quality for however long he's here with me is much improved as a result!
Here are some before and after pictures. Look at how wonderful he looks!
Thanks, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to say thank you for your great products! Unfortunately, my oldest Dalmatian, Charley, started going downhill fast. I wasn't sure he was going to make it until Thanksgiving. He was losing weight fast (despite being fed almost 3000 calories a day) and his general health was failing. I didn't want to lose him near the holidays and started to research products that may help me improve his health. I remembered Springtime and I got on the website to place an order and found Longevity. I am amazed! Not only has Charley made it to the New Year, but he is gaining weight, has more energy, is no longer depressed and overall looks better than he did six months ago. I didn't know if he'll make it to his 14th birthday, but I am hopeful now!
Even my little rescued Beagle who suffers from severe OCD and panic disorder has made amazing progress! He no longer takes his anti-anxiety meds and is MUCH calmer and relaxed. I have even ordered Stress Free Calmplex for him and hope that both products will continue to help him too! Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
All of my dogs are so happy that I discovered Springtime 10 years ago. I feed all of them Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules. At one time I was running low on Longevity, so I fed it only to my younger dogs. Well, within a few days, my old guys' coats were dull and they took naps instead of their usual alert, playful routine. Since then, I have never run low on Longevity which I believe is the best supplement in existence. ALL of my dogs look, feel, and smell fresh! Springtime, we all love you!

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to thank you for responding to my e-mail. I truly appreciate your response. I have increased them gradually and we are up to 4 scoops of Longevity and 4x Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables and will increase their dose again today. There has been a difference in both Goldens with a little more spring in their step. Griffin is 12 and Clifford is 11. Thank you again!

Dear Springtime,
I buy Longevity so my dogs can benefit from the life food factors and multitude of positive effects from healthy ingredients. I've often wondered if my dogs like the taste of Longevity, or if they simply like the mix of meats, fruit, and vegetables with their kibble. No need to wonder anymore! A picture speaks a thousand words!
Axel and Layla don't typically get in the trash, but to my surprise, I came home to find the bin opened with only one disturbed item. The canister had been closed, and you can see the effort involved in opening it to clean out every last bit! Ringing endorsement!

Dear Springtime,
My boy Royce is now 11 years young and boy, does he act like it! He has been on your Longevity, Omega 3-6-9, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, and Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables since he was very young. People can't believe he is 11 years old.

Dear Springtime,
I just want to update you on my use of Longevity in my cats. I can't get the "full" dose in them because it becomes too strong in their food. Of my three cats it plays out like this:
Mythril: This 12 year old girl doesn't really care for it but if I don't put more than a good pinch in her food she's fine. She is twelve and her normally matte-finish coat is actually getting shiny!
Noah: My 12 year old Rumpy Manx boy was showing signs of increasing discomfort in his hips which prompted me to try your product on the felines. He gets a rounded ½ teaspoonful every day and doesn't mind it a bit. (He'd eat a shingle if I put it in his bowl!) He seems to be more comfortable in the back end and his coat is glossing up.
Guinness: He is two years old and wild as can be. When I first got my shipment of Longevity I opened one container and put it on the floor. We walked over, took a couple of tastes and seemed to like it. He is a picky eater and I have to add warm water to his food to make "gravy" because he leaves the solids behind after he licks them dry. The Longevity (known as green powder at my house) actually seems to make him more interested in his food. His already soft coat has gotten softer and is getting even shinier.
In my opinion, this is a great product. It worked for my old Aussie, Sydney, who was the original user of Longevity in our house. He had degenerative arthritis in his spine and Longevity made his senior years much more comfortable. I even used it in combination with the medications he had from the vet. It seems to be doing wonderful things for my cats too! I'm very grateful.

Dear Springtime,
Thank you so much for the Omega 3-6-9. I had fed my dog, Huckleberry, a dog food that he apparently had an allergy to. He lost a patch of hair above his tail. Vet said if it began to spread we would need to check for mites. I switched his food and he improved a little. When I saw your catalog and got these, it was a lifesaver. I started Huckleberry out on double dose and within a few weeks, his hair grew back. We get compliments about how shiny he is.
Thanks,

Dear Springtime,
I have four German Shepherds. Ranger Joe, my senior, was itching and digging at himself to the point that he was pulling his hair out, and his fur felt like a steel wool scrub pad. His coat was dull, and his left hind leg was somewhat unstable at times. I know he was feeling his age (6 ½ years old).
I put him on your Omega 3-6-9 and Joint Health Chewables. Wow! In three days, I saw a tremendous difference in his movement. He was running like my two year old dog. His fur is now soft and his coat is sleek and shiny. Thank you so much for answering his S.O.S. call (Save Our Skin).
Many thanks,

Dear Springtime,
Once again, you saved my beloved pet. My first Dachshund, Noopy, lived a long, healthy life because of the Combo. After a few medical issues, your products enhanced her well-being and allowed her many more years to be with me.
Now, three weeks after back surgery, my second Dachshund, Noops, has improved above and beyond our hopes. You have no idea what this means to me! Noops, my beloved friend and companion will be on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) forever. Also, she has taken the Bug Off Garlic Chewables every day since she was a puppy for fleas. We have no fleas!
Thank you for your life-saving products!

Dear Springtime,
I tried tons of different products to help Bella, my 4-year-old black Lab rescue, but none of them worked. She still couldn't jump in bed to cuddle or even climb stairs. My vet was puzzled. A friend gave me a sample of Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) to try, and I saw a difference in less than a week. I ordered a set for myself, and now she's doing much, much better. She's back to her 4-year-old self.
I have referred you to my friends with big dogs, and they rave about your products just like I do. I just wanted to thank you with all my heart for these wonderful products!

Dear Springtime,
Just wanted to tell you that my vet marvels at how healthy and active my 15 year-old dog is. I got Puffy from a Rescue when he was 8 years old. I immediately started him on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (the Combo) (I had also used those products on previous dogs) and the results of his annual physical actually improved the following year.
Thanks again,
