Discomfort Success Stories
Dear Springtime,
I just want to comment on how great your products are. My German Shepherd, Ike, was diagnosed with a spinal degenerative disorder and was yelping almost every time he turned around. I started him on the Longevity and you would never know anything was wrong with him at all! I love your products as much as I love my dogs!

Dear Springtime,
My English Bull Terrier, Nardo, has serious skin allergies on his belly. Since giving him your Longevity product his allergies are greatly reduced and he seems to be more youthful and energetic. He is seven years old now. Thanks!

Dear Springtime,
Thank you for Fresh Factors! My seven year old, Hogan, has the world's worst hips – his hips cause him terrible pain. He cried when he would stand up and cried when he would lie down. Thanks to Fresh Factors he now runs, plays, and leaps like a puppy again. The Fresh Factors were so great that I started him on Longevity. Longevity seems to make him feel even better. Thank you so much for such high quality products!

Dear Springtime,
I had become concerned about how quickly Cookie, my eight year old Golden Retriever, was aging. She was very stiff and was moving around less and less. I received your catalog in the mail and after reading the "Real Letters," quickly ordered the Longevity and Joint Health Chewables. What a difference! A year later she has returned to her spry, happy self! I now give them to our other three dogs: Kiwi, the Schipperke, Rio, the Border Collie, and Halo, the wolf-hybrid. Everyone is happy and healthy! We make several trips a week to our local off-leash park (100 acres).
The reason I am writing is to tell you my most recent experience with Cookie. She had developed a lump on her hindquarters. This became enlarged and then opened up overnight into a bloody mess (with her help!). The next morning, upon examination, our vet informed me that it was some type of a tumor or mass… My option was a surgery at an estimate of $3,500.00! I left her at the vet for observation and went home to discuss this with my family.
We decided that we wouldn't put her through the trauma of such a difficult surgery, not to mention not being able to afford it. My son and I went back to say good-bye and have her euthanized. The vet tech brought her into the room so we could spend our last time together. Cookie came in happy with her whole hind end wagging in glee at seeing us. The tech closed the door and left us alone with her.
At this point, it becomes unbelievable! The mass fell out on the floor… We called for help and the tech and the vet ran in and looked so shocked. They bandaged her up and left her with us so they could regain their composure. They came back in and gave her a mild sedative so they could examine the area. Basically, this tumor had just fallen out of her body and they were able to put in a few stitches and we took her home! (Biopsy came back benign).
That was two weeks ago and she is all healed up and we are back at the dog park with all of her friends. Our vet calls her "their miracle Cookie!" She said she has never seen anything like this before and still can't explain it. I truly believe that your supplements have made her body and immune system so strong that she was able to completely reject the tumor and heal herself. (That and a lot of prayers!)
Thank you for making such good quality supplements and helping so many people and animals.

Dear Springtime,
I'm terribly pleased with the Omega 3-6-9! Here's a picture of a nine month old dog I bred, Pine Hill's Pay To Play (we call him Vinnie, LOL!) at his very first outing going Best Opposite Sex from the puppy dog 9-12 month class. Obviously, genetics (structure, temperament), and optimal health and condition are all a huge part of a total package but if I can give the dogs an edge with a superior diet including your supplement, I certainly will!

Dear Springtime,
I have been using Fresh Factorsfor a long time now for my Schipperke, Bob. He is now 15. Other than being completely blind, my vet says he is incredibly healthy. He does not have arthritis or other health issues. My vet calls him "Bob the wonder dog." Thank you for your wonderful products. I am going to try Stress Free Calmplex for him as now that he is blind he occasionally gets a little anxious not knowing where he is.

Dear Springtime,
My dog, Talbot, a Welsh Corgi was diagnosed with both joint problems in his rear legs and lymphoma. We had previously lost his sister due to the lymphoma. I started him on Fresh Factors three months ago and since then he is walking normal. The vet said the lymphoma is now in remission. He asked me what I was giving Talbot so I gave him a copy of your catalog. If Talbot continues to stay in remission for the next month, my vet is going to recommend Fresh Factors to all his clients…
Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
Pictured is Taz, a German Shepherd, with Mrs. Schuler's second grade students in Enterprise, Kansas. The class had just read a book about German Shepherds as part of their reading assignment. Mrs. Schuler invited me to bring Taz for the class to see and interact with her. Taz just had her hair cut and the students still said, "She is so pretty." Taz (Tazmanian Devil) is really Miss Congeniality. She loved all the students and their teacher. Taz and I owe it all to Springtime's Fresh Factors. In 1998, Taz had severe back problems and found it very difficult and painstakingly slow to rise from a sitting position. I started her on Fresh Factorsand within several weeks, she began acting like a pup again. She is now 11 years old. She walks at least a mile with me each day. Taz has also visited the residents of the local nursing home, and they loved her, too. Thank you, Fresh Factors.
Sincerely,
Gerald Dorsch, Kansas

Dear Springtime,
I've been giving my dogs Fresh Factors for about three years now with wonderful results. At the risk of admitting a rare moment of negligence as a dog owner, I must tell you how I discovered what a SAFE product it is.
A few months ago, I placed a new, unopened 60-count jar of Fresh Factors on a kitchen counter, thinking it was out of reach of my then four month old Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy, Druid. While I napped one day, Dru managed to get hold of the jar and eat the entire 60 tablets! All I found was an empty jar and a chewed-up lid! He seemed none for the worse for it at the time, so I watched him closely for the next two days and to my astonishment (and delight)…no vomiting, no diarrhea, not even a loose stool. It was as if he hadn't consumed it at all. I was amazed.
While I wouldn't have chosen this particular method to "test" the safety of a product, it nonetheless proved to me that your products are not only effective, but SAFE. (Needless to say, I am more careful now so my little monster can't help himself to things that may or may not be harmful to him). Thanks for the added peace of mind I now have knowing that when I give my beloved dogs their Fresh Factors, this daily "treat" is as safe as it is beneficial.

Dear Springtime,
We have experienced very good luck with Fresh Factors. Our dog Ali had knee surgery for a torn ligament and was recovering nicely for about six months. Then she started to limp and favor the leg that had knee surgery. A visit with our veterinarian resulted in a recommendation for further surgery. My friend, Debbie Randolph, recommended your product to us and we decided to give it a try before subjecting Ali to surgery again. She responded well to the Fresh Factors. The limp went away and she has more energy (she is 13 years old) and NO SURGERY. Ali is a yellow Lab and she looks forward every morning to consuming her "pills." Thank you and much continued success.

Dear Springtime,
This is Chivas (red Golden Mix, 9 1/2 years old), who lives with my mother, and Champis (Golden Retriever, 13 years old) who lives with my good friend, Katarina. They live in Sweden, and I sent them Fresh Factors because I heard from someone that it would really help aging dogs.
When I first sent Katarina some Fresh Factors for Champis, she called wondering what was in the tablets. She said Champis seemed like he was young again.
I went home to Sweden for a visit (I moved to the USA over six years ago) and Katarina and I met to let the dogs play together. They were very happy, but Champis had a rough time moving around. His hind end would not bear him up very well, and he had trouble climbing stairs. Katarina said she was out of Fresh Factors and I immediately gave her an extra jar of Chiva's. Two days later, she called me to say that Champis was again jumping in the car by himself, and running around like the good old days.
Thank you, Springtime, for a great product,

Dear Springtime,
I have had my 12 year old Newfoundland, Jackson, on Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Granules since moving from Oregon to West Virginia seven years ago. While Jackson has had the benefit of high quality nutrition and both holistic and traditional veterinary care since age one, I'm convinced that Fresh Factors has been a major factor in keeping him going so well for so long. Twelve years is a commendable age for a Newfoundland. Thank you, Springtime, for keeping us going in such good form!
David Klinger, West Virginia
Note: Sadly, Jackson passed away January 3, 2007.

Dear Springtime,
I just want to say thank you for your product. I started to give my Daschund, Noopy, Fresh Factors about seven years ago after she had back problems. Almost immediately we saw 100% improvement. Noopy is now 11 years old and runs and acts like a puppy! Thank you again for giving me more years with my best friend, Noopy.

Dear Springtime,
I have five Dachshunds, two of which had back surgery. Wild Bill's was in December 2001. In August 2002, he lost the use of his hind legs again. The veterinarian at A&M University Hospital said they could operate again, but he would probably never walk again. I could put him on a cart or put him to sleep. I chose the cart. Then I got your catalog in the mail and ordered Bug Off Garlic Granules and Fresh Factors. Within a few weeks he was using his back legs in the cart. Then in December 2003 I got his cart out for him to go hunting in the back half acre and it was a miracle. He took a few steps, then flopped down and got back up and ran a few more steps. The cart now sits on a table on the back porch. He is free to roam his half acre again. (Sam is 13, Bill and C.J. are 9, Mark Anthony is 8 and Trouble is 7 years young). Thank you for all your wonderful products.

Dear Springtime,
Yes, I've used Fresh Factors with our dog, Princess. She has been on Fresh Factors for one year now and we are still amazed at our 16 year old dog and how she runs and plays like she's a puppy. Every morning I walk both Princess and Lulu (our other dog, that was a stray we adopted when no one claimed her – she is on Fresh Factors too). Princess is always running ahead of us. I am now going to try the Daily Calm on my horse, who gets nervous away from the barn. Thank you for a great product. I've told so many people about Fresh Factors… it's amazing!

Dear Springtime,
As a small, non-profit service dog training program in Hawaii, we were thrilled to discover Fresh Factors. Your product was donated by a lab breeder to help one of our dogs, (Jane, a yellow Lab) with a "Hawaiian Itch" problem. It works wonders and her coat is beautiful today.
Just a fun side line on her, the Lab in the TV series "Lost" is Jane's mom – they look exactly the same.

Dear Springtime,
Fresh Factors are incredible. My dog, Bear, is on a special diet. He is allergic to wheat, corn and rice. He also has allergies to leaf mold, etc. Until this year, he has had to have two cortisone treatments per year. Last spring I started him on Fresh Factors after checking with my vet who approved. He still has itchy times, but no need for cortisone. It is nice nowadays to find a product that does what it is supposed to do.
Thanks,
Ruth Merizon, Michigan

Dear Springtime,
Early in August 1997, my four year old St. Bernard exhibited symptoms of hip dysplasia. Bruno would place his front paws on the stairs, while I had to lift his hind quarters. In this manner, we traversed over a dozen steps daily… To be able to climb up to the front seat of my car, I had to build a platform, and finally an elevator in my house to raise him 22 feet. A phone call to Michigan's number one breeder, Anna Irwin, brought the suggestion to get Fresh Factors and double or triple the dosage. So, over a six week period, I gave Bruno 12 tablets daily. Within six weeks, all of the symptoms were gone, and the St. Bernard was walking normally. Since then, all of my eleven St. Bernards receive their daily quota of Fresh Factors. When a Saint goes out for adoption, the animal takes with it the brochure about the product. All the adoptive parents of my St. Bernard rescues leave with the knowledge that this product is not only a preventative, but a life-saver. Fresh Factors is absolutely critical to their well being.

Dear Springtime,
My name is Peter John and this picture is of me and my Bulldog, Jake. (I named him Jake because of the TV show Jake and the Fat Man – you can see why!) We had just won the look-alike contest at the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Alexandria, Virginia.
When I got Jake, he had to have surgery for a luxating patella. Kate Kimener of On the Rebound Bulldog Rescue, told me about Fresh Factors and Jake has been on four a day for two years. He is four years old now, and runs and plays all day long! He never limps and the vet told me that he might. But he doesn't! I get your catalogs and I've seen other Bulldogs in them. I'm so proud to be a Bulldog owner. I just wanted to thank you for making a great product!

Dear Springtime,
Paris and China each eat two Fresh Factors with breakfast and two with dinner. No more "white coat itching or chewing" skin conditions and you can see how beautiful they look. They are sisters and best friends for 14 years and your product is helping them stay healthy.
Thank you,
