Skin & Coat Care Success Stories
Dear Springtime,
I have a 7-year-old, 55-pound Labradoodle named Leia. Every August she gets terrible ragweed allergies, to the point where she takes two extra-strength Reactine, four Benadryl, plus cortisone shots and spray. She wears a cone all day, every day and wears a T-shirt to lessen the damage she does to herself by constant scratching. This dog would rub her eye sockets on the concrete patio to scratch herself until all the fur was gone and they were bleeding (hence the cone) from late August until the first frost! We have tried everything under the sun to help her, including changing her food multiple times, even trying kangaroo food. Three weeks ago, a coworker recommended your Fresh Factors for dogs. I was reluctant to order ... however, being at my wits' end and left with no further options, I decided to try it. I am happy to report that after 6 days on this product I took off her T-shirt. After 7 days, the cone went as well. After 2 weeks, I stopped giving her both the Benadryl and the Reactine and cancelled her cortisone shot. Her wounds have scabbed over. Leia is no longer chewing her paws raw, and she does not scratch herself to the point of bleeding. She no longer destroys her eyes on the concrete, and she has stopped panting constantly. I have no idea what this product does, or how it works, but it really works! I give her three chewables in the morning and three at night. The cost is much less than the drugs and vet visits costs I previously incurred (allergy pills alone were about $3/day). I never ever write reviews, but I am amazed. This product gave me back my dog! For three months a year, Leia was an itchy, infected, bleeding, miserable mess. Now she is back to being a dog. Thank you!!! Karina Zwaan-Fragomeni, Ontario, Canada

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to let you know that this past Saturday morning, I sent an email to a weekly veterinary talk show (Animal General with Dr. Mike) that airs on KDKA AM radio out of Pittsburgh, PA…after I heard one person call in to talk about his young dog having to either have his hips replaced or be euthanized… I wrote to tell the host, Dr. Mike Hutchison about how your products, Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables had saved our AKC Lab pup, Tucker, from having to have both of his hips replaced at the tender age of one.
I explained to Dr. Hutchison that Tucker had been diagnosed with the worst case of hip problems that our vet and a canine orthopedic specialist had ever seen, especially in a young pup. Tucker was in such bad shape that he had stopped growing at six months of age. He could barely walk, and his back had arched up very high from the tremendous pain. … Tucker had to be kept on narcotic pain medication, so he was always in a drug-induced stupor and even then he could not walk or sit anywhere near normally… Surgery was the only thing that would help him. That was in March 2003, and we started him on your products in July of 2003 after receiving one of your brochures. I wrote how quickly Tucker responded to your supplements and how now, at three years old, he weighs 85 lbs and can run almost as fast as his brother…
…After I saw how well Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables helped Tucker, I immediately started giving them to his brother, Cody, who also has hip problems, but not to the degree as Tucker. …I plan on keeping both dogs on Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for giving us two healthy, pain-free dogs.
Sincerely,
Patricia Mainhart, Pennsylvania

Dear Springtime,
I just got my UPS Quantum View notice that my order has been shipped. You guys are fast! My Corgi, Woodrow, is on his last few days of my supply of Fresh Factors and so I appreciate the fast service.
Just gave your info to my neighbors here in Plymouth/Manomet, Massachusetts – their Collie, Duncan has hot spots for the first time this summer. I originally found you many years ago via my daughter, Jenifer, of The Pawsitive Dog in Boston. At the time, my deceased Golden had terrible and recurrent hot spots. She suggested I try Fresh Factors. They helped him immensely. Since then, whenever anyone says "hot spots," I say "Fresh Factors" and pass along your catalog or web address.
Woodrow isn't bothered by hot spots (perhaps because have given him Fresh Factors from the first day I adopted him) but I still give them to him for his coat and general well-being, even more important now that he has joint problems.
Thanks again,
Kathleen Vickery, Massachusetts

Dear Springtime,
Heidi, my eleven year old Poodle, suffers with allergies, which begin around May and continue until the first hard freeze. Heidi is fed a premium dog food specifically designed to treat allergies and, when the allergies begin each season, also gets medication to ease the symptoms.
About three months ago, I received one of your catalogues in the mail. Heidi had already begun licking her front paws, and both were nearly raw. I decided to order Fresh Factors for her and have been giving her one tablet each day for a little over two months now.
I am delighted to report that Heidi no longer licks her feet. The hair has grown in lush and soft where there used to be bald, red spots. I only wish I'd know about Fresh Factors four years ago, when Heidi's allergies first reared their ugly heads.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Springtime. Heidi's happy. I'm happy. No more medication! Don't ever stop making Fresh Factors!

Dear Springtime,
I have a five year old Great Dane named Harley who slipped in the snow and began limping. It was worse when she got up from sleeping. I doubled her Fresh Factors and within a few days the limping was almost gone. She has been taking Fresh Factors since we got her as a baby. Thank you for a great product.

Dear Springtime,
Aloha! Here are a few photos of my beloved soon to be 14 year old Great Dane (in April 2006). He would not be alive today if it weren't for Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors he's been getting for the last two years. He was barely able to get up when I, in desperation, started him on your supplements. I would have had to put him to sleep a long time ago if he hadn't improved as dramatically as he did. Within two weeks, he literally could jump in the back of the Yukon again! It was unbelievable. Even in his VERY advanced years (for a Great Dane, it's almost a record, I believe) he is still able to get around and even chase a mongoose every now and then! If he is off his supplements for even a few days, there is a very noticeable difference in his mobility, and if I were to take him off completely, he would no longer be able to even get up, let alone walk!
Thanks so much for having these "miracle pills!"

Dear Springtime,
I love your products. I have been using Fresh Factors on my dogs for at least 10 years now. I have a grooming business; whenever I see a problem with one of my clients I always recommend your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables, and I always see a change in them by the next visit. They think I am the smartest dog person around in my area! I also have told many of my dog show friends and once they try it, they are hooked and can't believe how well it works for them. Thank you so very much for your insight into the health and well-being of our fur friends.

Dear Springtime,
We have an eight year old Cocker Spaniel that has had two rear leg surgeries and used to limp most of the time. She'd be very careful not to play or be active because of pain, even while walking. I even had to give up walking her because she'd sit down and didn't want to move. After three weeks of a daily Fresh Factors broken up in some wet dog food, she started to improve. She now wants to play and romp around and even jump up onto the couch. Cocoa says thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to let you know that we love your product, Fresh Factors. Our nine year old dog, Bacchus, (best guess is that he is a dingo or a throw-back to one) was having a lot of obvious pain in his back legs. The vet thought he had loose ACLs or something like that, but Bacchus could not jump anymore and definitely could not run. So, now, Bacchus not only can jump up on the couch, but also can jump up on the bed and into the back of the car. He begs to play chase with tennis balls at the dog park again. In less than three months on Fresh Factors, we now have the same dog that we had about six years ago. I've been recommending it to any of my friends who have aging dogs. Thank you again for such a great product.
Cheers,
Sue Gilbert, Wisconsin

Dear Springtime,
We have shown and bred English Bull Terriers for 25+ years and now give all of our dogs Fresh Factors. We started to give them the tabs a little over a year ago when a friend gave us a container. In a very short time, we noticed a remarkable difference in coats and conditioning and now recommend Fresh Factors to all of our puppy owners...
We recently imported a White Bull Terrier, Caspa, from Australia and within two weeks after giving him Fresh Factors there was a noticeable difference in his coat. In a very limited showing, he was the #6 White Bull Terrier in the nation in 2007 and was invited to attend the Eukanuba National Dog Show. We are currently showing him as well as several of his puppies who are also winning. All of them have wonderful coats and health and we attribute it to Fresh Factors. People often follow us out of the ring and ask what we give them - I tell them it's Fresh Factors and reach for my catalogs!
Thank you for such a wonderful product. We are definitely fans for life.

Dear Springtime,
I've wanted to contact your company many times over the years to thank you all for such wonderful products. I discovered Fresh Factors about 12 years ago when my then 10 year old Cocker Spaniel Molly had a severe joint pain episode. I slept next to her on the floor; spoon fed her, and also poised her to relieve herself for about two weeks before we got Fresh Factors. Within days she was running like a puppy. I had her for six more years thanks to your products. I've recently gotten a mini Poodle and just placed our first order for him. I know with the help of your products, he'll be with me for a long time.
Thank you so much,
Stacey Harvey, Massachusetts

Dear Springtime,
Fresh Factors are terrific! Whenever I run out, my Bullmastiff, Lilly, begins to scratch, and she scratches with such fury you can hear it all over the house! It sounds like someone is tearing down the walls. My other two dogs, a Cane Corso named Tank and a Great Dane named Duke, are doing great as well and they all just enjoy the Fresh Factors as treats. They can't get enough!

Dear Springtime,
More good humor:
A blind man and his seeing eye dog head into town for a little stroll. Approaching the busiest intersection in town the dog doesn't hesitate, but leads the man directly into rush hour traffic.
Everyone stopped to watch this incident when they heard brakes squealing and horns blaring. The man and his dog made it to the other side without injury.
A young man, having observed the incident, watched the man take a dog biscuit from his pocket and offer it to the dog. "Excuse me, sir," the young man said, "but why would you reward your dog for almost getting you killed?"
The blind man replied, "I am trying to find his head, so I can kick his tail!"
My two 'kids', Renton MacPherson (an eight year old Scottish Terrier) and Bonnie Girl (a seven year old Golden Retriever), are both still going strong on your Fresh Factors. I ordered the Bug Off Garlic Chewables for the summer flea season in the Northwest. We love your products!

Dear Springtime,
We adopted our second Greyhound last spring and we now have her on Fresh Factors. Her fur was a mess when we got her and now she looks like a show dog. Also, our first Grey can run without pain thanks to her two tablets a day. Our dogs mean the world to us and, thanks to their daily dose of Fresh Factors, not only are they pain-free but they have the softest coats of any Greyhounds we've met!
Thanks,

My female Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Fredi, had a hot spot on her left front paw for over two years. I tried everything I could think of to break her of the habit she had of licking that spot. When a friend of mine heard a commercial on the radio for your products talking about hotspots, etc., he called me. Well, as you can see by her photo Fresh Factors did the trick! She is seven years old and beautiful. Thank you so much!

Dear Springtime,
My Pekinese, Buster, was very lame and I started giving him Fresh Factors along with my German Shepherd, Maggie, who was three years old at the time. After a few weeks, Buster would beat me to the front door. Fresh Factors helped him through the last three years of his life. Buster had a stroke at the age of 16 and needed to be put down. We do miss him very much; however, we know that through his last days with us his quality of life was as if he was a puppy once again due to your great product Fresh Factors.
Sincerely,

Dear Springtime,
I have to comment on your Fresh Factors for dogs. I started giving my dogs (an eight year old Pug named Hank and an eleven year old Beagle/Springer Spaniel mix named Becca) Fresh Factors last fall when I noticed stiffness in their back legs. Within three weeks they both had more flexibility in their legs, and less shedding! The Beagle/Springer Spaniel mix had what appeared to be a reddish brown rash on her belly and that has all but disappeared! I am so pleased with this product and have recommended it to every pet owner I know. On behalf of the dogs and me, thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I am thrilled with the Joint Health Formula for my aging horse, Spirit. Also, I am happy with the Fresh Factors for my older dog's injuries as well as for the Spirulina Wafers coupled with Fresh Factors which has completely eliminated a persistent facial rash on one of my Shibas. Thank you Springtime for having the solutions!

Dear Springtime,
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that the Fresh Factors has given my dog Cheyenne new life. She was diagnosed with a heart based tumor in January 2008. She was slowly but steadily declining. In March, I mysteriously received your catalog in the mail even though I hadn't ordered in years and had moved numerous times since I last reordered. Without even looking at the product description, I remembered I used to buy Fresh Factorsand decided to order them again. Just in the nick of time, as it seemed Cheyenne was nearing the end. She was lethargic, bloated from fluid buildup, and had trouble breathing. I put her on Fresh Factors and five days later, it was like she was a different dog. She had energy again. Our walks, which had been 15 minutes, were back up to 45 minutes. Over the next couple of months her fluid buildup steadily declined and her energy level stayed up. Her vets are just amazed and even asked to see the product. Not only did I show them the product but I gave them the catalog.
Thank you, Springtime, for your wonderful products and giving Cheyenne a new lease on life!
Many blessings,
LuAnn Whale, California

Dear Springtime,
Dixie is a nine month old Rough Collie. She came to live with us at six months, severely affected with demodex mites. Her face was swollen and oozing infection.
Our vet predicted Dixie would be on antibiotics for at least six months... To help her recovery along, we ordered your Fresh Factors, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, and Spirulina Wafers. We tripled her doses and began to see an almost immediate improvement. The mites were still there, but her swelling disappeared and the infection cleared. Our vet couldn't believe the improvement after two weeks.
We quickly ran out of the products. Even on high doses of antibiotics, Dixie's infection began to return. With her growing vet bills, I had put off re-ordering. I won't make that mistake again.
We might not be able to kill the mites, but with your products and a lot of TLC, Dixie lives a much better, more comfortable life. She's a wild child that loves to run and play with anything squeaky. Dixie is the life of the party.
My other Collie, Faith, is doing great on the Spirulina Wafers. After trading our country home for a lot in town, she seemed to be missing it. In just days, she was adjusting better after being on your product. I'm putting our GSD, Kodie, on them, too.
Thanks, Springtime,

Dear Springtime,
This letter is about eight years overdue! When I first saw the letters in your catalogue, I said to myself, "Oh, yeah. Sales puff." Not too much later, I was telling your telephone receptionists time and time again, "I really must write you a letter." Finally, here it is!
I started with Fresh Factors eight years ago when my Siberian Husky, Fred, wouldn't get off of the low sofa. He was very stiff and had considerable muscle soreness. He was very glum and clearly uncomfortable, if not in pain. Radiographs revealed nothing. I put him on Fresh Factors and about two weeks later, he was his old self again…
Years later, I took Freddy off of Fresh Factors for a while. The hind end lameness returned. At the time, the vet put him on medication. Sadly, I had forgotten about Fresh Factors. After three months, I noticed blood in his stool, and without consulting the vet, immediately took Fred off of the medication. I remembered Fresh Factors and placed an order. Two weeks later, Fred was quite chipper again and back to his bouncy self. . .
Sadly, Fred, my Siberian passed over the Rainbow Bridge this past January at the age of 16 1⁄2. He had a long and happy life. But even as the end grew near, I ground up his Fresh Factors and mixed them in with his turkey baby food. We knew things were pretty bad though, when after more than eight years, he suddenly wasn't too keen on his daily Fresh Factors.
We have a new fur baby named Mollie who is also a Siberian. Her first order is on the way. And now we know that all those testimonial letters are really true!
Kindest Regards,
Susan Terry Burroughs & "Mollie," Florida
This letter is about eight years overdue! When I first saw the letters in your catalogue, I said to myself, "Oh, yeah. Sales puff." Not too much later, I was telling your telephone receptionists time and time again, "I really must write you a letter." Finally, here it is!

Dear Springtime,
Dear Springtime, I just wanted to thank you for such wonderful products. We adopted Kona from a shelter at eight weeks of age. After two weeks we noticed she started to lose her fur and developed scabs on her head. She was diagnosed with demodectic mange and a secondary skin infection. She eventually lost almost all of her fur.
Frustrated with a lack of progress in her recovery we took her to a new vet who put her on an anti-parasitic medication. It was that time that our new dog trainer recommended your products as a way to boost her immune system and overall health. I started her on Fresh Factors and Bee Pollen for Dogs every day. Within two weeks her scabs had healed and to our delight, we spotted some fuzz growing on her head. After five weeks her fur had almost completely grown in and she looked like a normal dog again. Even the vet was amazed at how good she looked. He originally told us she might never get better and he had to admit he did not expect her to look so good so soon.
I'm sure her recovery would have taken much longer without your products. Her coat is now so beautiful and we constantly receive compliments from people about it. She also has not had hot spots or any other problems that dogs with "sensitive skin" like her usually have. I recommend your products to everyone. We will be lifelong fans of Springtime! Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Tracy, Mike and "Kona" Dacey, Massachusetts

Dear Springtime,
Yes, my dog is flea, tick and hot-spot free. Her coat is beautiful. Her energy and enthusiasm is right-on for a nine year old German Shepherd.
I have been using Springtime products for the last four or five years and I wouldn't change companies for anything. The company prices are reasonable and customer service is ideal. I would like to encourage you in your wonderful work and to keep on developing natural remedies for dogs.

Dear Springtime,
I want to thank you all for the wonderful products you produce. I started my 14 year old Sheltie, Kelsey, on the Fresh Factors about two months ago. …I could not believe the difference. It was like she came alive and I had my old Kelsey back. She followed my Greyhounds and me into the field and wanted to play a lot! …Before she had trouble jumping up onto the sofa, now it is no problem. Her coat is shiny and soft and her eyes even look clearer and brighter! It almost brought tears to my eyes. My baby was back! …So, I am the first to say, as a skeptic I am proven wrong and Fresh Factors works!! Thank you 1,000 times over!
Sincerely,
Annie Pendleton and "Kelsey", Indiana

Dear Springtime,
Popcorn, my Bichon Frise, age 10, was diagnosed with joint problems in her back left leg. She was limping and couldn't jump up on the furniture as she was used to doing. My daughter had given her dog, Barney, Fresh Factors (which did wonders for him) and suggested I try Popcorn on them. In no time at all (approximately three to four weeks) she started running like a puppy, jumping and NOT favoring her leg anymore. I can truly say Fresh Factors is a wonderful product.

Dear Springtime,
Our five year old Rottweiler-German Shepherd mix, Heidi, became very ill two years ago (vomiting which didn't stop until she was vomiting blood). She was diagnosed with inflammation of the pancreas, spent two days in the intensive care and another two days at the vets. It was difficult to feed her when she came home. Just a little too much dry food would set her off and she would vomit. Using your dog chart, we added Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Granules to her diet. Now, she is able to eat dry food and even have an occasional bone.

Dear Springtime,
My Rottweiler, Basia, turned eleven last week and your products have helped her this far. She had hip problems so severe that at six months of age her leg was "popping" out of the hip socket. She's had two hip surgeries and a spinal injury from a fall (due to her unstable hips). Through all of this she has been on a low dose of steroids. My vet said when she was still a puppy, that the steroids would shorten her life considerably due to organ damage. The results were worth the risks as this was the only therapy that helped her inflammation and pain and allowed her to have a happy, normal life. I found Fresh Factors when she was about two years old and added them to her diet. Much to everyone's surprise, we never had to increase the level of steroids to control her symptoms. When she was nine and needed the second hip operated on, the blood work showed that her organs were in perfect working condition. This was two years after her predicted life expectancy. Just before her birthday this year, I had blood work done again and her organs are still working in perfect condition. I switched her to Longevity when it was introduced and I have noticed that she has even more energy. I can't thank you enough for the part I'm convinced your products have played in her continuing happy life.

Dear Springtime,
My Shepherd mix dog, Shadow, started having hip problems when he was just 18 months old. He was in such pain that he could no longer get up on the bed, get up in the car, or just enjoy going for a walk. Every step he took was extremely painful for him and he would just whimper as he tried to walk. He would hold his leg up in the air because it was just too painful for him to try to put it down.
A friend of mine told me about Fresh Factors, so I figured I might give it a try even though I was skeptical that it would help very much. I doubled the dose for the first two weeks as recommended and to my amazement and disbelief, at the end of two weeks he was running and playing just like a puppy. It really was a miracle.
Shadow and I can't thank you enough for your great product. Shadow has been taking Fresh Factors for five years and to this day remains healthy, happy, and playful. Your product was a godsend.
Sincerely,
Dina Wood, West Virginia

Dear Springtime,
Fresh Factors REALLY does make a total difference. It looked as if I was going to have to put my 15 year old dog to sleep as I would have to help her up all the time. She had lost weight also.
Within one week there was a total change. I was amazed and glad, hence my re-order. I've told many people of this excellent product. Thank you so much.

Dear Springtime,
Your products simply blow me away! I live in central Florida (25 miles southwest of Ocala) and have Tennessee Walking horses. I have battled flies and mosquitoes with everything but nuclear waste from our power plant in Crystal River. By dumb luck I found out about Bug Off Garlic from a friend. Talk about battle of the bug, OMG, Springtime rules! I can actually saddle the horses without them doing an Irish step dance. The mosquitoes now find me a tastier treat than my equine partners.
Let's go on to my once itchy cattle dog. He was such a miserable little guy, constantly scratching and chewing his paws. I thought he had a neurotic thing going on for a while. I'm a cytotechnologist; I have the ability to swab and test on occasion. My little itchy guy had a lot of fungus going on. I began giving him Longevity and Greek yogurt and within a week he was cured. Watching the dog sleep an entire night undisturbed brought a tear to my eye, really.

Dear Springtime,
Longevity really helped my 14 year old Border Collie, Celeste, the last months of her life! Her hair was so long and luxurious and she got along much better. I told our vet about it when he asked what we were doing. His comment was, "I wish they had it for people." I gave him the catalog. Now I have adopted a six year old Border Collie, Tess, which came with valley fever, incontinence, round worms, and a lot of fear issues. She is gaining weight, not wetting except when very excited and I feel her valley fever will heal! Her hair is so pretty now, and of course, the worms are taken care of. Thank you for this product. I know it helps my companions!

Dear Springtime,
My older German Shepherd, Reane, has suffered with crippling hip pain for the last few years. My younger one, Charm, had severe ear problems for over two years. I had her ears debrided, switched to various types of top-rated dog foods, tried thyroid medication, etc. I faithfully cleaned and doctored her ears under a vet's prescribed regimen. She was so miserable that I was seriously considering euthanasia.
As a last resort, I ordered your Longevity and began giving it to them both. I am not one to be easily influenced by product claims. Within a week the older German Shepherd was trotting, running on all surfaces, chasing her ball and Frisbee, and was strongly motivated to work and perform again.
I began noticing immediate changes in the younger dog also. Her ears opened, and the discharge, swelling, and redness disappeared. Her ear carriage became erect again, and she stopped shaking her head. She is once again a happy, healthy dog. I am eternally grateful for a great product and look forward to many happy years with them receiving Longevity daily. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Kathryn Currier, Wyoming

Dear Springtime,
I want to thank you for your wonderful products. For almost two years, my old girl, Cinnamon, and my young dog, Patches, have been on the Bug Off Garlic Granules and Longevity. What a difference in my old girl! At almost 14 she still wants to do agility.
…I had retired Cinnamon last year after we finally finished her two Novice Agility titles. She then informed me by jumping 26" jumps (her height was 20" and as a veteran is 16") that I had set up for Patches that she wanted to continue. So, I started showing her as USDAA agility trial (which allow mixed breeds). Out of four classes, we qualified and received two fourth place ribbons last year. I just took her for fun and she had a ball. If I had trained her at all, we probably could have qualified in the other two classes.
As long as she is happy and healthy, and is able to and wants to do agility I will continue to show her in a couple of classes. As with other dog folks, I enjoy showing my "fur kids" with who ever will look at them.
God bless you and all the people at Springtime for all your hard work and help for our dogs to make them have happier, healthier lives.

Dear Springtime,
My name is Tami and I have been a longtime customer of Springtime. My mother-in-law introduced me to Tonic Blendabout 11 years ago. I had a very low immune system and was constantly getting colds. After being on Tonic Blend for a few months I started noticing that I wasn't getting sick as often. Now the only time that I get a cold is when I run out of Tonic Blend.
I also have my Chow, named Blue. When he turned 12 he started having a lot more hip problems and his coat was getting really flaky – basically he was going downhill really fast. This was the same time that you came out with Longevity. My husband and I thought very hard about switching his regimen. I mean, he was a very old dog with an autoimmune deficiency. We had three vets who, over the years, would say "you'll be lucky if he reaches nine." So, being on borrowed time anyway we figured that it couldn't hurt. After being on Longevity for almost two weeks we saw a huge difference. Well, it's been almost a year and a half and he's still going strong. He still has some problems getting up but he gets along fine. He thrills in chasing the puppy and playing with HIS kitty, Jasmine. Thank you for giving us more time with the greatest dog I've ever known.

Dear Springtime,
…I recently started the Longevity supplement on my dogs. Both girls are 12 1/2 years old and are in very good health. Since starting Longevity, Mozambique, who is a Flat Coat/Retriever mix, has once again started chasing squirrels off of our bird feeders! She hasn't had much interest in that since she was nine! Grizzelle, her sister, has always been a couch potato but is showing more interest in exploring the back yard. And, although stiff from getting up from a nap, she loosens up after a few steps.

Dear Springtime,
I have wanted to write in and tell you thank you! All of our animals are now on Springtime products and so am I! I was introduced to your products a couple of years ago by my mom who was using Fresh Factors for her dogs. Since then I am a true believer and currently use Bug Off Garlic Granules for my horses and dogs, Longevity for my dogs, Tonic Blend and Spirulina Tablets for me. My mom continues to use your products for her horses and dogs as well.
We do dog rescue and most of the dogs we take in are in pretty bad shape. The first thing we do is add Springtime products to a good diet to get them on the road to recovery….Our Boston Terrier, Motor-Boating Max, who competes in dock jumping, is a different dog this year since we have added Longevity to his diet. He has improved in athletic ability and seems so much healthier. He had been jumping in the range of 10 feet, and then earlier this year jumped 11 feet three inches in Michigan. Well, at his last competition Max jumped an amazing 14 feet three inches!
I am a true believer!

Dear Springtime,
Buddy is our wonderful, six year old English Bulldog. He has always been full of life and ready to play. Recently, we noticed that Buddy had lost his spirit and no longer wanted to go for his daily rides. He didn't want to do much of anything anymore. He just lay on the couch and slept. He was in a lot of pain, especially when he tried to walk.
We took Buddy to visit his vet. The vet told us that Buddy had an Achilles tendon in his leg that was giving up. We already knew that he had severe arthritis. Buddy's vet raised the dosage of his arthritis medicine, put him on stomach medicine, and suggested that we get him a cart so he could get around better.
My husband and I were broken hearted. An illness that could be treated with medicine was one thing, but seeing our sweet baby be crippled and using a cart to get around was more than we could deal with.
We called my husband's 83 year old mother when we found out what condition Buddy was in. She has always had pets and loves them so much. We thought she might have some ideas that would help Buddy feel better. When I called her that day, her helper and friend, Toni, answered the phone. After sharing our dilemma with Toni, she told us that she had just received her Springtime, Inc. catalog and thought we might find help for Buddy by ordering it. She told us about all the encouraging stories in the catalog.
I got the phone number from the website and called Springtime. It was suggested that we start Buddy on Longevity twice a day. After only five days on Longevity, we could see a difference in Buddy. His spirit has returned and he is begging to go on rides again. He still is having trouble walking any distance and he still favors his leg, but he is walking and doing so much better. We have only had Buddy on Longevity for about two weeks and already we see a big difference. We are very encouraged that continued use of Longevity will help Buddy grow strong and healthy again. Thank you, Springtime, for giving us back our baby.
Respectfully,
Joe & Pat Kolar, Oklahoma

She told us about all the encouraging stories in the catalog.
I got the phone number from the website and called Springtime. It was suggested that we start Buddy on Longevity twice a day. After only five days on Longevity, we could see a difference in Buddy. His spirit has returned and he is begging to go on rides again. He still is having trouble walking any distance and he still favors his leg, but he is walking and doing so much better. We have only had Buddy on Longevity for about two weeks and already we see a big difference. We are very encouraged that continued use of Longevity will help Buddy grow strong and healthy again. Thank you, Springtime, for giving us back our baby.
Respectfully,

Dear Springtime,
Skillet is our six year old female American Pit Bull Terrier and Miles is our four year old male American Staff Pit Bull. Both have been taking Joint Health Chewables, Longevity, and Fresh Factors for some time now. Our grass is healthy due to the Longevityand our dogs are healthy as an ox. Plus, we use the Stress Free Calmplex during the 4th of July and other holidays with fireworks. Thanks to you, we have beautiful healthy dogs that will be with us for a long time. Also, my boyfriend and I are taking Joint Health Capsules for us! Now we have stronger joints that help us keep up with the dogs. We have gotten many family members and friends to try your stuff.
Thank you,
Melissa Lugo, California

Dear Springtime,
I recently brought your product Longevity for my 11 1/2 year old Australian Shepherd who has been suffering from joint pain terribly for many years. After reading your catalog, I thought, "Well, I'll try anything!" After only two days of using Longevity my husband and I noticed a difference in Oakley and now after three weeks he is acting like he is eight again. Last night I caught him with all four legs in the air playing with a toy upside down! He was having a grand time. This used to be one of his favorite playing positions but the pain in his back hurt him too much to do it.
My other dogs are thrilled to have their alpha back in play mode, not in 'do this and do that' mode! It is wonderful and amazing to see them all interact.
There was such a difference in Oakley's demeanor that I felt I had to write and thank you for the Longevity. He is completely off all veterinary medicine and only on the supplement. I am also telling every dog and horse person I know about this product!
I am hoping it will help to keep Oakley around and happy for years to come.
Kind Regards,
Candice Marcotte, South Carolina

Dear Springtime,
Striving for Longevity early on!
This is Assgard's Odin, my seven week old Bernese Mountain Dog – yes, he's real, and not a stuffed animal!
Joint problems, cancer, and a short life span are genuine concerns with the Bernese Mountain Dog breed, so I start my pups on this wonderful product when they begin eating solid food. The MSM, vitamin C, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate alone are enough reason to feed this to large breeds where hip and elbow dysplasia are prevalent, but when you add the antioxidants and immune stimulants, you make it that much better!
Thank you for your continued research and development of new and better products!

From a Longevity Customer: Lost Dog in Tragic Accident, Wishes to Provide a Warning to Others.
Dear Springtime,
I am a loyal customer and am amazed at the results of your product, Longevity. My 12 year old mixed-breed has made a drastic improvement since starting Longevity having had two cruciate ligament repairs and existing joint problems. He is able to jump and run like a much younger dog! Thank you for making such a wonderful product. I tell every dog owner I know about your amazing company. In addition to my testimonial, I was hoping you could, in some small way, help raise public awareness. My newest family addition was Zephyr, a canine hurricane survivor of Frances in 2004. Rescued by the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons and adopted to me, Zephyr was tragically killed in December by a body-gripping fur trap. This incident has been my personal "9/11." It was just unfathomable.
We had just started our walk through the Long Pond Greenbelt Nature Preserve and Zephyr ran to a pool of water for a drink. Suddenly, a piercing shot rang out followed by a short, sharp cry. I ran to Zephyr as he violently thrashed his head at the ground trying to paw off the contraption around his head. I screamed with all my might, but no one was around to hear my cries for help. I grabbed the trap and tried to figure out how to release it. The springs were too large and strong for my grip. There was no room between the steel bars and Zephyr's throat. I looked into his eyes and knew in an instant he would die. I continued to struggle as Zephyr's body went limp and rolled to the ground. I carried his body to the car and drove to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, where an ARF worker and a police officer removed the trap from Zephyr's lifeless body. I stood over his body saying, "I couldn't save him…"
I am writing this in hope that you can, in some way, alert your customers to the reality of these deadly devices. The type of trap that killed Zephyr is virtually impossible to open unless you have special knowledge and a special tool! Companion animals are being killed in these traps far too often, especially to owners who accompany their animals to areas they believe safe like parks and nature preserves.
Springtime's loyal customers know the limitless love of our canine companions and our commitment to responsible stewardship. Being helpless and alone watching Zephyr strangle to death has devastated me.
I hope there is a way to send a message to your customers to know their state's trapping laws, to be sure which areas are trap-free. The information learned can be startling!
May there be a future where people, pets and children are safe from these tragic traps.
In Sincere Hope,
Gail E. Murphy, New York

Dear Springtime,
I have many years of experience with many different dogs and horses. I've used many products from many places, though never with very good results. The cost was phenomenal to the point where I couldn't afford to buy supplements for my dogs even if they needed them. I got to where I just didn't believe the selling points of products out there claiming all sorts of things until I started to use your Springtime Fresh Factors and Longevityon my old dogs.
A friend had started to use these products on her dogs with marvelous results and I decided to order with her. I started out using Fresh Factors and noticed a difference fairly soon. Then I switched to using Longevity and have been using that since then. I have been using it now for some time with wonderful results! My two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are both AKC Champions. One of them recently passed away just shy of his 13th birthday (the one laying down in the photo, Britt). The other one sitting upright in the photo is Grendl, who just celebrated his 13th birthday on July 30th. I believe that without Longevity they would not have done as well as long as they had.
For some years, before I started to use Longevity they could no longer jump into the back or the front of my pickup or onto my bed to snuggle with me anymore. When I started to use your product on my boys, it wasn't very long before Britt was found in the back of the pickup all by himself! And then they were able to jump into the cab of my pickup with no problems and then onto my bed once again. It had been years since they could do that! Grendl is still able to leap up into the cab at age 13. My Cardigan Corgi, also the same age, doesn't limp near like he did.
I have since told other Chesapeake Bay Retriever owners who have dogs that veterinarians can't seem to help. They have written me about how they were amazed at the huge difference Longevity made. I wish I could get all their pictures together in honor of Britt, who has passed away, and his brother, Grendl, because I would love to share their stories as well.
Thank you for such wonderful products! And keep up the "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" option, as that has been a huge seller for me. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kathy Olding, Alaska

Dear Springtime,
We have two German Shepherds. Axel is a therapy dog and just all around good natured. Lexi came to us two years ago as a wreck. She was nervous and not social at all. A friend gave us some Longevity to try with our dogs. Axel has a beautiful coat, but just loves the taste. He won't touch his food now without it. Lexi would blow her coat for any reason; stress, weather, visitors, etc. It seemed she would never have the coat she should have with her breeding. After only four months on Longevity she has a full, healthy, beautiful coat.
Thanks so much,
Debbie Peach, South Carolina

Dear Springtime,
Reily, my six year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, has been having joint problems for over a year. She moved slowly, could not jump up on the furniture like her sister and niece, quit running, and had difficulty standing after sleeping. Her only relief was to sleep, which she did most of the time. She has mitral valve disorder, a common heart problem in Cavaliers; so starting her on prescription medication, with all its side effects, was out of the question.
I read about Longevity in your latest catalog and thought I would give it a try. After being on it for just two weeks, she is like a different dog. Her gait has quickened. She no longer groans and hesitates when she first awakens. She runs in the yard and up the stairs with the other two Cavaliers. She will even jump up on a chair at times. Her energy level has increased, as has her stamina.
The results were so miraculous that I started it on her sister, Lindsay, and even give it to Lindsay's ten month old puppy, Blaze. All three love the taste, and it has eliminated the "doggy breath" that the two adult dogs had.
Thank you so much for developing this product.
Sincerely,
Deborah Schwanz, Florida

Dear Springtime,
Jimbo's Longevity photo is worth a thousand thank yous! Last Wednesday morning a week ago, our best boy severely injured his left front foreleg and paw…. I placed an order that morning to try your newest dog product – Longevity. It came for Jimbo, our seven year old English Springer, on Friday morning and he was given two doses daily. By Monday of this week, he was hardly limping. And by tonight he was miraculously bounding around with Gabby, our English Springer baby girl…. He barks for breakfast now, every time I prepare his morning meal mix of wet/dry food with Longevity. Many heartfelt thanks for continuing to improve and add to your superior quality formula line and saving me a trip to the vets. You can plan on repeat Longevity orders from us.

Dear Springtime,
We adopted a Cairn Terrier mix dog named Scooby who had been neglected and/or abused. He was in bad shape and was given two months to live. He had tremors and spasms. His jaw was disintegrating and he couldn't pick up toys or eat very well. He couldn't even pant, so his energy was very low and his tongue was very thin and weak.
We took good care of him and gave him lots of love and medication. He kept on living. After having him for five years, he was having difficulty with his joints and he was not responding well to all of his antibiotics (he was on two of the strongest ever made) which I gave him every other month for one infection after another.
Finally, my daughter read some of your testimonials and I ordered the Longevity for our little Scooby. He hasn't taken an antibiotic now for over a year! His hair grew in fuller, his breath got somewhat better, his ears, sinuses, joints, and allergies have been so much better. He is full of energy and is able to play, run and eat. What a miracle it is to see him. Everyone is blown away and I tell everyone I know about Longevity. All of the vets who have ever met Scooby are so amazed that this little dog keeps going. Now his quality of life is so much better as he continues to hang in there.

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,
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.

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.

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,
Helene Gregory, New Jersey

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!

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.

Dear Springtime,
I just want to say that my 13 year old Akita, Sika, has been on Fresh Factors for several years and it has made such a difference in her. She has had hip problems since she was four and all the other meds out there affected her in so many ways. I put her on Fresh Factors and saw a big difference…. I truly believe Sika looks as good as she does because of the care we give her and the Fresh Factors… We had Sika to the vet and they could not believe she was 13.
Thank you for giving my Akita a great life!

I have had excellent luck with your products. I own a 26 year old Saddlebred named King… I know that your product has extended his life and his time with me. He's my best friend and I don't know what I would do without him. I also have an older cat named Levi who is 14 and is developing (joint problems). She now takes Fresh Factors and it has added years to her life! She is full of fun again. Thank you for your products.

I take chondroitin sulfate every day and it has taken away a lot of stiffness in the morning.

Dear Springtime,
I began using your products over 15 years ago when my horse was diagnosed with lameness in both hind legs. The J-Flex Concentrate made such a difference that I was able to continue competing in dressage and to enjoy long evening trail rides.
Years later, your catalogs followed me from North Dakota to Texas. I no longer had horses, but competed, instead, with one of my Cocker Spaniels in agility. She is now 13 and retired and when I run out of Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors, walking is painful. When on these products there is barely a hitch in her "get along!" All three of my Cockers are on Joint Health Chewables, Fresh Factors, and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. And I use your Joint Health Capsules product too.
Hope you enjoy the photo of Amarette starting her agility career.

Dear Springtime,
These are my two boys, two year old Coal, the one with the red collar, and five year old Scout, the one with the blue collar. I have used Springtime for years and am always totally excited to see how it affects each pet I have used it on, whether it be dogs or horses. Coal is a growing boy and I have had him since he was a Christmas gift when he was five weeks old. I tell folks that I was a naughty girl and got a lump of COAL in my sock, but it was the best lump of COAL ever! He has been on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables from the start and is doing absolutely wonderful. Being a growing boy, I know he really needs these two products.
Scout is a totally amazing story! I rescued him last September from a growing family that didn't want him anymore. I have to say that he wasn't one of those horror stories of abuse, but he does have a story.
I saw his picture up on the bulletin board at our veterinarian's. It just said, "Must find a new home due to a growing family and no time for Scout." After deciding that Coal needed a friend and I could handle four more muddy paws and another dog that sheds I went to check him out. He was tied out front of the house on a chain playing with a tennis ball all by himself. The family was totally ignoring him and it broke my heart. He had such a sweet face and great personality, so into the truck he went, off to his new home.
I could immediately tell that he was having problems with his back end because he couldn't walk straight or go up stairs without whining. He couldn't play ball for more than a few minutes and I could tell he wanted to keep up with Coal, but he hurt so bad.
The first thing was to get him into an AVCA certified animal chiropractor. Scout had some major issues that are finally getting worked out after seeing Dr. Shanie every two to three weeks. I also started him on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. It has been five months now and WOW! Scout is a totally different dog. He hates to have to come in from playing ball, swimming or following me when I ride my horse, or when he is playing tag with Coal, or after a snow fall, playing in the drifts! He is so excited when I say we are going out or for a run. It is as though he just can't seem to get enough of fun without pain! I know that if it wasn't for Springtime, Scout wouldn't have come as far as he has in such a short amount of time. Between animal chiropractic, a good feeding program, exercise, and Springtime, Scout now has a dog's life.

I have been using your products Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables for all of my five dogs. One of my dogs is 14 years old. She is part Pit Bull and part Lab and has joint problems. I also have a 13 year old Pit Bull, Deebo, that was diagnosed with a torn ACL, no surgery or meds needed with both of your products. I have been using these products for about a year and my dogs are doing well. They get around without limping or needing pain meds. Keep up the good work!

Dear Springtime,
We have been using your products since 2007. We first used the Bug Off Garlic Chewablesto hopefully keep the flies from bothering our horses. It has helped considerably. Then we decided to try Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors for Shyla. She is our 10 year old Keeshond that sometimes had a slight limp when getting up, but the main reason to get supplements was she had some tremors in her left rear leg after a mile or more walk. We also give her the Bug Off Garlic Chewables during tick season. We are really happy with the results; she has no tremors and no limp. Enclosed is a picture of Shyla in the snow this past spring. We will continue buying your products.

Dear Springtime,
The vet says it's amazing to see a German Shepherd live as old as Lady. She's going on 16 and is very agile. She climbs into the car with no help. We give her Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors twice a day with her food. She prances happily whenever she sees we're going for a "run" in the woods. She does literally run and run up some pretty steep hills too, here in west central Wisconsin where we live.

Dear Springtime,
I started giving my dog, Duffy, Joint Health Chewables after he tore his ACL a few years ago. He was doing really well on it. But, a few weeks ago he started limping really badly, could hardly walk or make it up the steps. I sent for your Fresh Factors and added that to the Joint Health Chewables. I also increased the dosage. It's amazing how in a couple of weeks he isn't limping and he gets up the stairs with no problems. He is nine and a half years old and he's acting like a puppy again. I am telling everyone about your products and how amazing they are. Duffy will be on them for the rest of his life, which I hope will be a long one. Thank you so much for your great products.

Also, his coat is amazingly beautiful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to support our dogs healthy!

Dear Springtime,
I purchased my now two year old Greyhound one year ago from a rescue league. Although shy but friendly, he had ongoing issues with his skin. It was dry and balding in certain areas. He also had a broken front leg, healed when I purchased him.
He walks with a limp and is now diagnosed with degenerative joint disease.
The holistic vet prescribed him many different herbs in an attempt to improve his coat and degenerative issue. She even stated that his shyness and coat condition could be a sign of a thyroid condition.
My nutritionist's assistant recommended that I use Fresh Factors. She had two Borzois years ago and had much success using the product.
I purchased Fresh Factors three weeks ago - what a difference! My dog's coat is super shiny, no longer dry and the hair appears to be growing in. He has more energy, is not as shy and his lameness has improved.
After spending hundreds of dollars on my dog I now have a product which is affordable and works! I will continue to give my Greyhound Fresh Factors for the rest of his lifetime. I will also provide information to my holistic vet and the greyhound rescue league of my success in using this product.
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Dear Springtime,
Fresh Factors has been wonderful for my dog. Simba is almost four years old now, but at the age of two he started acting like an old dog. He was not running like he should, was having difficulty getting onto his couch, and watching him get into my car was agony. My dog trainer recommended this product and for the past one and a half years he has been taking them. What a difference it has made! He is like the young dog that he is - chasing squirrels, running when we go for our walks and jumping into the car with no problems. Great product! I truly believe that Fresh Factors is what makes him a happy and active dog.

Dear Springtime,
I mentioned with my last order that my vet discovered Boomer, my Lab, had problems in both his shoulders. I doubled his Fresh Factors. He seems to be doing great! He is almost eight years old and just as playful as ever! He is happy, bouncy and full of life. His coat is absolutely beautiful, full and it glistens in the sun. I feel it really makes a difference in his overall health and well being.
Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I have been giving Fresh Factors to my Akita for more than a year. I was referred to this product from the owner where I board my horse. She was giving it to her Chow. I told her about how my Akita (now eight years old) was having a lot of trouble with his rear hips, even having serious trouble getting up and walking one night. She suggested getting Fresh Factors. Since starting him on this, he has not had any more trouble with walking. He was also on allergy medicine for itching. I stopped that shortly after starting him on the Fresh Factors. He had no more trouble with the itching after taking the Fresh Factors without the allergy medicine.
I recently started giving Fresh Factors to my nine year old Dalmatian because he was limping on his front left leg. I took him to the veterinarian who prescribed an anti-inflammatory to treat what they said was possibly something to do with the tendon. This did not do much for him. He also had a couple sores on his back end, his coat was thinning, and he was losing weight. He has probably been taking Fresh Factors for about a month now. The improvement is amazing – no more limping, no more sores, and his coat is very soft, shiny, and has thickened up noticeably. I am so happy with the benefits of this supplement that I started giving it to my six year old German Shepherd mix this week. She has no health problems, but I am anxious to see the changes in her coat and overall health.
My husband, daughter, and I are all taking Tonic Blend too.
Thank you so much for the wonderful supplements your company provides!

Dear Springtime,
Suddenly it seems we are a family of "elders." My little gal, Jessie, is twelve years old and was getting a bit grumpy and having trouble keeping up with us. I put her on Fresh Factors and once again she's swimming and running with the big kids. My second elder is Isaac, a white GSD who is nine years old. When he was a two year old, he broke a hind leg in several places, and thanks to a very skilled surgeon, he's all put back together. As you can imagine, by now his leg "should" be giving him some trouble, but, again, the Fresh Factors have delayed the onset of any problems. In fact, he's still jumping gates like a youngster! Wolf, my SAR dog, has been experiencing some back problems which led to joint problems. Fresh Factors came to the rescue again - he's moving beautifully and we don't have to retire him anytime soon! Many thanks there! And last but certainly not least is Cooper, a combination of, I'm sure, of little black bear and black Lab. She was a found in the National Forest one bright and sunny morning. Alas, she was most likely culled from her litter as she has very bad hips and elbows - those legs seem to go in all four directions when she walks. But Fresh Factors has made all the difference with her ability to keep up with her pack - she runs and plays with the best of them! So thank you for a superb product. I tell all my human patients (I'm a nurse) to go to your website for their dogs and themselves... I'm so happy to have found you.
Sincerely,
Joanne Goodhue, South Carolina

Dear Springtime,
My nine year old Yellow Labrador Retriever, Quincy, has been taking Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables for over a year. He looks great, is at an excellent weight, and has tons of energy. He no longer has joint problems. You have made a lifelong customer and a very satisfied one at that. Thanks again for your superb products.

Dear Springtime,
Our youngest German Shepherd, Sasha, developed problems in her left front leg when she was five months old. Our vet told us it could move to another leg some time later. She suffered with it for almost four weeks. I had her on an aspirin regimen and only one Fresh Factors per day.
On March 8, 2009, at 11 months old, she developed the same problems in her right front leg. This time I increased her dosage of Fresh Factorsalong with the aspirin regimen. After less than one week, the increased amount of Fresh Factors had such an amazing result. Her limping was remarkably reduced. As of this date she is completely limp free.
I want to thank Springtime for their great products. Stress Free Calmplex saved our Golden from going to a rescue center because of the damage she did to our house whenever we had a thunderstorm. Stress Free Calmplexalso made our now four year old Shepherd, Vega, confident to go anywhere without freaking out over city noise.
Thanks Springtime. I will continue to be a loyal customer.

Dear Springtime,
I just placed another order for Fresh Factorsfor my two dogs, Tally (Rottweiler) and Winston (Malinois). Then I thought about telling someone in my class at dog obedience training about Springtime and Fresh Factors. I am the instructor for two classes, basic and advanced, on Saturday mornings.
The message I sent is copied below (in part).
"I've been using Fresh Factors with both Tally and Winston for years. I give each dog four tablets with each meal. I buy them at this annual sale, where you can pay for two and get four containers. I get the 1,000 tablet containers. Sounds like a lot, but at 16 tablets a day, 1,000 are gone in 62 days...
I am happy with the results - very healthy dogs, great condition of the coat, and the dogs love the tablets. They can be used as training treats, but I just put them in their meals to make sure they get them every meal."
Thanks,
Norm Qualtrough, Virginia

Dear Springtime,
Several weeks ago my 17 year old Beagle mix's health went from amazing to poor. Little Sam seemed to barely be able to balance himself and lost his footing easily. I doubled his Fresh Factorsand today he is back to being his old, active self… Not long ago, he was in my back yard running around and jumping over tufts of grass and I was close behind in my bedroom slippers trying in vain to get my hands on him! I really thought I was losing him but thanks to Fresh Factors he is once again acting like a puppy! I am a HUGE believer in this product and would recommend it with no hesitation.

Dear Springtime,
I started giving my dog, Duffy, Joint Health Chewables after he tore his ACL a few years ago. He was doing really well on it. But, a few weeks ago he started limping really badly, could hardly walk or make it up the steps. I sent for your Fresh Factors and added that to the Joint Health Chewables. I also increased the dosage. It's amazing how in a couple of weeks he isn't limping and he gets up the stairs with no problems. He is nine and a half years old and he's acting like a puppy again. I am telling everyone about your products and how amazing they are. Duffy will be on them for the rest of his life, which I hope will be a long one. Thank you so much for your great products.

Dear Springtime,
We are writing to tell you that our one and a half year old Golden Retriever, Sam, has been using your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables for four months now after being diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia. We noticed Sam having difficulty walking, jumping, and generally being a puppy early on. Our vet diagnosed his condition and gave us two surgery options. Both were costly and came with no guarantee that Sam would come out with any relief. We were additionally told they would have to perform the surgery one hip at a time causing potential damage to Sam's knees. This seemed beyond unfair to put our sweet boy through. We were told about your products by a woman who cared for Sam while we were out of town.
I am happy to report that as far as we are concerned at this time, surgery has been put on the FAR back burner if it ever happens. Sammy now looks forward to his walks, jumps up on the chair for his nap and his gait improves daily. We plan to keep his regimen of Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables up indefinitely. An added bonus is that he loves the taste. As we watch his weight, we use them as treats!
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your products and giving our Sam a new lease on life!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to add my compliments for such wonderful products you provide for us. It is nice to know they are a natural way of helping to keep our four legged friends healthy. I used Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Chewablesfor my Rottie for years. She had multiple bone issues and no amount of surgeries would have helped her. I do not believe long term prescribed meds are the answer and so I turned to Springtime. The vet had given her six years, but she lived a comfortable life for ten years. She passed over the Rainbow Bridge October 11, 2006.
On November 18, 2006 I adopted a B/W three and a half year old Cocker Spaniel named Morgan. He was having mobility issues. He immediately went on your products and today at six he runs like a puppy.
On November 16, 2008 I adopted a six year old Cocker Spaniel named Buffy. She is also on your products as I know of the great results I have had.
Thank you again for giving us a healthy way to keep our pets happy and running free of pain.

Dear Springtime,
My wife and I have a 13+ year old English Sheep Dog and have been using Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables for some time now. We ran out of product for our Shelby and she became unable to use her rear legs and one front leg to walk. We decided to order the products again and see if that would help her before we made the final decision to put her down.
We can't believe what we see, she is walking again with little or no pain and we get to spend more time with her. We know that her time is limited due to her age but we will enjoy the extra time Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables has given us with her.

Dear Springtime,
Excellent products! My dog, Kwanzaa, is a Chow-Chow. He snapped ligaments in both his hind legs when he was a puppy and now at 12 years old, they have set horribly. He could hardly stand, let along walk. I bought your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables during the latter part of last year and it's like he's been resurrected! I thank God for your formula, and encourage you to keep up the good work!

Dear Springtime,
My Golden Retriever, Sam (10 years old), has been on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables the majority of his life. He's in great shape and because of Joint Health Chewables, he's showing no signs of problem joints yet! He's weighed 105 lbs most of his life, but now he's 97 lbs per vet's orders.
We've added a new little friend, Chester, a 10 month old Pomeranian pup. He's been on Fresh Factors since 9 weeks.
We love your products, they have made my dogs' healthy and happy. Thank you.

Dear Springtime,
I just want to tell you that my dog Charlie has horrific allergies and I hated giving him prescription medicine which is really all that would control his itching and keep him from digging at his body. Then by accident, I discovered your company and Fresh Factors online. I was desperate, and nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I ordered the product. I have to tell you I was skeptical that Fresh Factors could help Charlie, and I really didn't notice a big change as the months slipped by. However, almost overnight, Charlie was almost free of any signs of lesions on his skin! I am so glad I stuck with the product because Fresh Factors saved my dog from a miserable life! I started with four tablets, and then I gradually increased the dosage to nine. Once Charlie started to respond, I gradually decreased the chews back down to four per day and he is doing great! Thank you so much, and please let other people know that it may take a few months for Fresh Factors to work, but eventually it will and their dog will be grateful.
Many thanks,
Carol Spurr, Nova Scotia

Dear Springtime,
I have been using your Fresh Factors for many years with amazing success, and I'm finally going to share my stories with you. About ten years ago, one of our dogs was getting older and was suffering joint pain. The prescription given to us by our vet helped him only a little. After a month of frustration, I began looking for something else, and found Fresh Factors. After only two days, Homer was running up the driveway and chasing the other dogs in the yard just as he did as a youngster. We were stunned. He never again seemed to suffer any pain.
Since then I've used Fresh Factors for all of our dogs as they've aged, and found out something else that again surprised us. Each and every dog, there have been three, has not only aged without joint pain, but has outlived its normal life expectancy as well. One dog, a 65-70 lb female name Summer, shocked the vet four years ago when I took her to him to be put down, her heart had given out. He asked me how old she was, and his mouth dropped when I told him she was 13. He looked in his records and confirmed it. Normally, dogs that are Summers' size live to be eight or nine years old. We now have another older dog, nearly Summers' size, and he is 12. Without his tablets every day, he would be very lame. Instead he, just like Homer did, runs and plays outside with minimal signs of pain.
I tell anyone who will listen about my dogs and my friends' dogs. Anyone who wants their friend to live a long, pain free life should join us in our happy solution to the problems of their old age.
Thank you for Fresh Factors!

Dear Springtime,
We have a great dog, Sarah, that is getting older and was starting to show signs of such. She was having trouble jumping up into vehicles (she loves to go and ride in the truck) and was limping at the end of the day. I did some research on the internet and found your website and decided to give it a try. She has been on Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors now for the entire summer and there has been a drastic and noticeable improvement in her condition. Not only has she improved, but with continued use, she seems to keep improving. It's like a miracle. Our friends and family have noticed such a difference that they have been using your products on themselves and their pets alike.
Thank you for providing such great supplements at such an affordable price. We will be lifetime users.

Dear Springtime,
I have a male Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Lance with diabetes. For about one year his doctor has been trying to regulate his insulin injections to bring his blood sugar count down from around 350 to less than 200. March 10, 2009 his sugar count was 363. I called your company and the lady answering suggested I try Fresh Factors and Spirulina Wafers for him. We started him on your products around March 16, 2009.
He had a blood sugar test May 20, 2009 and his count was 168. The doctors and I were very pleased with that number. He also seems to have more energy.
This photo was taken about three years ago. He is nine years old now and we still walk twice per day for a total of a mile. Lance was retrieving dummies four weeks ago at our camp in Vermont on Lake Willoughby.
Thank you for all you do to alleviate pain and suffering by the products you sell and we feed to our animal companions.

Dear Springtime,
For the past two years, I have wanted to write a letter sending my praise and thanks for your product. I have two black Labs, Mick 11, and Bailey 6, that are my mine and my husband's pride and joy! Two years ago, my baby, Bailey, was in bad shape. He would just lie in our office at work all day long and cry from being in pain. He couldn't get up on his own, and I was carrying him outside just so he could go to the bathroom. I literally thought that my heart was breaking in pieces watching him this way.
Obviously, we made several trips to the vets and came to the conclusion that Bailey was born with a severe case of hip problems. As you might suspect, our vet recommended us to an orthopedic veterinarian that told us Bailey's best option was to get both hips replaced. Leaving the cost factor aside, I immediately scheduled Bailey for surgery because the vet said it was his BEST option; however, even though surgery was supposed to be his best choice, there were a lot of variables involved that left me very wary about the results we would have...
Still having the surgery scheduled, I began researching his condition and the options that I had over the internet, and I realized that supplements were an option that I need to ask the vet about. So I did, and she sent me home with a $40 bottle (60 tablets) of a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement and very little hope of success. I started him on them and they did seem to make a difference; however, he still needed his pain medication many days to complement it. All of which left him simply more comfortable—not returned to our happy, loving Beetle Bailey!
One morning about two weeks prior to Bailey's scheduled surgery date, my aunt showed up at work with a catalog from Springtime, Inc. We started reading the testimonials and researching the products and came to the conclusion that your products were certainly worth a try! I ordered Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables, received them the next day, and the rest is history! The change in Bailey has been absolutely unbelievable! He was on your products for only a couple of days, and he was romping around like a playful puppy again! Two years later, we are still doing great! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving my baby a chance to be happy and hurt-free again!
Micky, my older boy, is feeling younger and friskier in his golden years thanks to Springtime as well! By telling our story, we have added many thankful pet owners to your list of customers. Even though I have been singing your praise to others, I'm sorry it took me two years to personally thank you! The results have been amazing!
Your customers for life,

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to send in a quick thank you for your Longevity product. I adopted Josette, a two year old German Shepherd, in January. She came to me with moderate hip problems in both hips and a mild elbow problem. I found Longevitythrough a lot of research and recommendations and have had her on it for almost as long as we have had Josette. We just went to the vet who told me she was really impressed by this supplement because, based on her x-rays from December, she would have expected her hips to be a lot worse off. Due to the Buy Two Get Two Free deal, I have a lot of Longevitylaying around so I decided to put my other dog, three year old Black Lab named Irie, on it for her horrible coat. I am happy to report both Irie and Josette have the most stunning coats I have ever seen on dogs before. There is minimal shedding and a lot less itching than before they started it. Thanks so much for this wonderful product, you have changed my dogs' lives!

Dear Springtime,
I put Satch on Longevity about five months ago as he was having trouble jumping into the hatchback. He is 11 ½ years old and a Golden Retriever. It has been a remarkable improvement. He is back to running the beach at times and greeting all the visitors.

Dear Springtime,
I want to send a big THANK YOU for giving my sweet female Golden Retriever such a positive improvement after I started Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules. Amber, who will be 11 in June, has severe bilateral hip problems. Nobody knew, as I had been hiking and speed walking with her for seven years until my oldest Golden had to be put down. Amber was mourning her, didn't want to move for almost three months and then started to limp. After I demanded an x-ray, it was detected she had severe hip issues. Six months later her right hip popped. She was in serious pain and I thought Amber had to be put down, but luckily my vet did a salvage procedure and saved her. I somehow heard about Longevity and ordered the product, and boy, did she like it. With Longevity and swimming she is now almost without any limping and no pain. She loves her meals; the bowl gets licked to nothing. Even my new Golden, at three years old, is on Longevityand she loves it too.
I even recommended it to Brenda my neighbor for her old Duncan who was suffering with his joints. She reluctantly ordered some and got hooked because Duncan, who is 11, is doing so well. I use your Bee Pollen and Tonic Blend and I must admit your business is truly amazing and your love shines through your products.
I want to thank you for giving me three more years with my sweet Amber, a retired therapy dog. She is my little angel on earth and my soul mate.

Dear Springtime,
On February 9, 2009 I sent an order to Springtime to purchase Longevity for my 12 year old Golden Retriever, Duncan. He has had two doses of two scoops since 2/19/09 so far and has shown more pep and enthusiasm already. He has problems in his right hip. Also, he has hypothyroidism for which he takes meds. Without Longevityhe has a lot of stiffness and pain and he starts to limp and favor his sore legs. He won't come upstairs so much, and he has runny reddened eyes and his skin itches a lot. The vet says it is allergies, but as soon as he gets started back on Longevity he improves instantly and within a week or less all of the above symptoms goes away. This is why I totally think that Longevityis helping him. The thyroid condition causes him to lose energy and he would lay around with no interest. The thyroid meds help, but when I started Longevity he started to behave like a puppy again. It's really amazing.
Well I have to tell you, I was very pleased with the customer service that was extended to me. I can still remember good old fashioned customer service and it is refreshing to find a company that still holds the values true to their heart. In this day and age it sure is nice to know that there are still some great companies left. You are a faith restorer, a breath of fresh air.
Sincerely,
Brenda Kobayashi, California

Dear Springtime,
I have three dogs. All are registered therapy dogs. Two of them are rescues who were in poor shape when I got them. All my dogs and my cat receive Springtime supplements. One of my rescued dogs has experienced extreme transformation.
Lassie, my Rough Collie, was 106 pounds when she was rescued. We needed to shave all her hair off because she was totally matted. She was nine years old with joint problems because of the weight along with a lot of other physical problems. She was immediately placed on a diet but I was very concerned about nutrition. I fed a super premium food along with Springtime supplements (Longevity, Joint Health Formula, and Bug Off Garlic Granules). It took nine months for her to lose 40 pounds, and another nine months for all her hair to grow back.
The old, matted, overweight lame Collie that no one wanted one and a half years ago is now a ten year old dog that everyone wants. She is healthy, happy, and beautiful! Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
I started Anonymous on Longevity in April, and she will be 12 in September, and can already see an improvement in her actions. She is an active therapy dog and has been working since 1998, but I noticed she was sleeping more and more. Now instead of being down for the count at 8 p.m. she has a nap, and then is up and chasing the laser pen beam for a while at 11 p.m. I admit sometimes I want to grump but she is happy and moving freely even with joint issues in a hind foot, so we play for a while and then go to bed. My dogs have not shown any reluctance to eat the product on their kibble.

Dear Springtime,
I would like to share a story of my 11 year old Greyhound, Scarlet. She was diagnosed in January of 2008 with oral cancer by her regular vet. I took her for a second opinion, which confirmed my worst fears. I was in the process of ordering from Springtime when the Longevity caught my attention. It appeared that some research with spirulina had benefits with oral cancer. I have given her a scoop and a half a daily. She has not suffered one day and is the same happy girl. We have achieved buying time and she has the same quality of life she has always loved. Thank you Springtime, we are nearing a year.

Dear Springtime,
There was a brief period where I stopped giving my now 13 year old Golden Retriever, Teddi, Longevity This was due to a financial "glitch." I noticed a huge decline in her energy level and in her breathing. It was very disconcerting to me. I decided after experiencing that scary time, "glitch" or not, I would not sacrifice her wellness and will continue to provide her with your Longevity product. For a 92 lb, 13 year old she is very active, fairly energetic and her quality of life is excellent. Thank you for that!

Dear Springtime,
I had commented on the way your Longevity made my dogs' coats look and feel great. Axel is on your website comment page with his picture on the beach and Lexi actually had the red in her come out wonderfully after a few months on Longevity. Well, times got hard as everyone knows and we could not afford it for them. They have been off of it for a couple of months now and we can really see the difference. This is why we have ordered today. The heck with the price… Longevity is worth every penny of the cost and more. Lexi has four ten day old puppies now and I want them to have every benefit of the Longevityfrom the moment they begin to eat. We will have their mom and uncle on it the moment it arrives.We also noticed that we are getting brown urine spots on our front yard where they urinate. This did not happen while they were on the Longevity. Thanks again for such an awesome product! And never will our babies be without it again.

Dear Springtime,
I have an active Jack Russell and recently purchased your Longevity supplement. The decision was based on both the value of supplements for health and hoping to reduce shedding problems. Bridget has been getting this product for just under two weeks and her shedding has been reduced by more than half as evidenced by the amount of hair in our Dyson animal vacuum cleaner. This is a great relief to us, as we both have allergy and sinus issues along with being picky about our home. She absolutely loves the taste too. I was impressed with the value in comparison to similar products selling for ten times the amount. (I got in on one of your Buy Two Get Two Free deals.) Thank you for a fine product at an affordable price.
Sincerely,

Dear Springtime,
I am a long time breeder who attends shows, hunts, breeds and also judges occasionally. Longevity was the first product purchased with retired dogs in mind but was soon added to the menu for everyone including bitches in whelp and even added to the initial weaning diet of four week old pups. Once they are on it, they stay on it for life.
Longevity certainly produces all the desired results and more as indicated on your website. Without exception, all of my dogs, 14 in total, love the taste. What was not mentioned on your site is the fact that my dogs teeth, even the 14 year old (whose teeth have never been cleaned), are now amazingly free of plaque after eating Longevity. I know this is due to using your product alone as no other variable was introduced to their feeding schedule during the time frame. I attribute this unmentioned bonus of "cleaner teeth" to the key live food factors found in Longevity.
Additionally, my 14 year old, who was going downhill fast, now has a bit of spring back in his step and my 12 year old terrier is acting like a puppy again. As advised on your website, I also use the Bug Off Garlic Granules in conjunction with Longevity during the warmer seasons and am equally glad not to have to use the advertised chemical concoctions to keep flies at bay.
I was amazed and extremely grateful to have found such a superior additive to help keep my kennel of Conquest Jack Russell Terriers of all ages healthy. I am a strong advocate for Longevity and have started to endorse your product to my clients.
Yours in sport,

Dear Springtime,
Greetings from Los Angeles! My friend Nicolette and I both own elderly black and tan wiener dogs. Nic told me about Longevity after meeting Nike, a German Shepherd who was destined to be put down three years ago and has been taking Longevity and is still here! Playing with her ball, living in N's neighborhood and being a great testament to the power of your product! Since then we BOTH have been walking and talking advertisements for your products. I've emailed friends across the country, at work I've given away your catalogs. At the dog park we've both shown off our "new" dogs and how shiny their coats have gotten and Gigi has lost weight! Our two dogs (Chow Chows) are getting in their new fur and are getting more energetic. The elder Chow is playing like she used to! Amazing, simply amazing. I heard just this morning that a woman I had given a catalog to has started her Husky on Longevity because he was beginning to get hip problems. He's too young to lose! More later! Thank you again from the west coast! It's not the quantity of life - it's the quality! :)

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to let you know what a lifesaver your Longevity product is for my Labs. I raise puppies for Leader Dogs for the Blind and both of my Labs were pulled from the program as Cagney (far left) has problems in her left hock and Cedar (far right) has elbow issues. I have noticed the biggest difference in Cagney. Before using Longevity she was reluctant to run or even swim and with mild exercise would be stiff on that leg. Now she smiles as she runs and spends a lot more time in the water retrieving. Gracie (middle) is off to start her new career in July. She has been on Fresh Factors since I got her at seven weeks and has had excellent joint health. Thank you so much for making my puppies happy and healthy.

Dear Springtime,
Winnie is a rescue pug that I got in September of 2007. She was found wandering the streets and was completely emaciated, dirty with skin and ear infections, overgrown toenails, and was unsprayed with a major hernia. The shelter that had her guessed her age to be about 12, and tried to talk us out of taking her, I saw a diamond in the rough and took her home.
When we got her home I noticed something "off" with her walking. She underwent surgery in May of 2008, having a femoral head osteotomy. Basically they cut off part of her leg bone. She was put on two different pain meds and even though it has been awhile, I have never been completely happy with her recovery. The vets have said she will never be normal and since she is elderly, we just should manage her pain.
Recently, on a trip to the emergency vet for severe gastric problems and a possible seizure, it was determined that not only does Winnie have degrading cartilage in her "good" hip, she has disc disease throughout the spine, from her neck to her tail as well as problems in both shoulders. We have had to take her off the NSAIDS, they were causing her too much stomach trouble and she cannot stomach most brands of glucosamine, chondroitin or msm.
This fueled me into looking for other treatment options. I read some recommendations on the site Dogster.com from some of your customers. I ordered the catalog and read about Longevity. I went out on a limb and ordered it and received it a week ago. I was so worried it would cause her stomach problems, she is so sensitive!
We followed your instructions with just a little sprinkle for a few days and now she is up to half a scoop twice a day. Now, it has only been a week, but I wanted you to know that I will NEVER be without this product for her. She had no gastric troubles at all. But the difference in her is amazing!
First, she has had a good coat because she is on a premium diet. But all of a sudden, she developed almost long "pants" on her rear legs! She is using both legs equally now, where as she favored one over the other before. I just spent a half hour playing tug of war with her! Tug of war with a dog that is supposed to be crippled! She is insisting on going for walks again! She is beating up my male puggle and actually growling during play! She finished up playing, panting! Panting! She was playing hard enough to work up a sweat!
It's obvious to me that she is feeling great. She isn't supposed to jump on the furniture, but I can't hold this dog back! She is running and jumping and playing and it's like this dog is five years old. If this is what happens after only a week, I can't wait to see her in a month.
I wanted you to know this because I was feeling really low after her last diagnosis. I was so afraid she was in pain and that we would lose her. She still continues to take a pain reliever, but that's ok. We may be able to wean her down in her dosage if she keeps feeling this good.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving my little old pug some spunk back!

Winnie is a rescue pug that I got in September of 2007. She was found wandering the streets and was completely emaciated, dirty with skin and ear infections, overgrown toenails, and was unsprayed with a major hernia. The shelter that had her guessed her age to be about 12, and tried to talk us out of taking her, I saw a diamond in the rough and took her home.
When we got her home I noticed something "off" with her walking. She underwent surgery in May of 2008, having a femoral head osteotomy. Basically they cut off part of her leg bone. She was put on two different pain meds and even though it has been awhile, I have never been completely happy with her recovery. The vets have said she will never be normal and since she is elderly, we just should manage her pain.
Recently, on a trip to the emergency vet for severe gastric problems and a possible seizure, it was determined that not only does Winnie have degrading cartilage in her "good" hip, she has disc disease throughout the spine, from her neck to her tail as well as problems in both shoulders. We have had to take her off the NSAIDS, they were causing her too much stomach trouble and she cannot stomach most brands of glucosamine, chondroitin or msm.
This fueled me into looking for other treatment options. I read some recommendations on the site Dogster.com from some of your customers. I ordered the catalog and read about Longevity. I went out on a limb and ordered it and received it a week ago. I was so worried it would cause her stomach problems, she is so sensitive!
We followed your instructions with just a little sprinkle for a few days and now she is up to half a scoop twice a day. Now, it has only been a week, but I wanted you to know that I will NEVER be without this product for her. She had no gastric troubles at all. But the difference in her is amazing!
First, she has had a good coat because she is on a premium diet. But all of a sudden, she developed almost long "pants" on her rear legs! She is using both legs equally now, where as she favored one over the other before. I just spent a half hour playing tug of war with her! Tug of war with a dog that is supposed to be crippled! She is insisting on going for walks again! She is beating up my male puggle and actually growling during play! She finished up playing, panting! Panting! She was playing hard enough to work up a sweat!
It's obvious to me that she is feeling great. She isn't supposed to jump on the furniture, but I can't hold this dog back! She is running and jumping and playing and it's like this dog is five years old. If this is what happens after only a week, I can't wait to see her in a month.
I wanted you to know this because I was feeling really low after her last diagnosis. I was so afraid she was in pain and that we would lose her. She still continues to take a pain reliever, but that's ok. We may be able to wean her down in her dosage if she keeps feeling this good.

Dear Springtime,
I have an 11 year old Border Collie/Australian Shepherd cross, Ceilidh (pronounced Kaylee) who, two years or so ago, tore her ACL ligament. At her age I did not want to put her through surgery so I looked for alternative treatments to make her comfortable and able to get around. Also, I noticed that her hips were getting stiff and she was just starting to act like an old dog - seemed reasonable to me as she was nearing the high end of her expected life span. She found it hard to get her hind end up in the morning and she was moving slowly and clearly didn't feel very well.
I found your company online and started with your Joint Health Chewables. It definitely seemed to help and when I was reordering, I noticed your Longevity. Couldn't hurt, I thought, so I put her on it. Little did I know. The change was dramatic. Not only can you not tell that her ACL was ever damaged, she has started trying to play with my two younger, much larger dogs. She bounces up with noticeable energy in the morning like a youngster, runs out with the boys and looks to me to throw her something to catch! That hasn't happened in years! Her coat has come back thick and beautiful and you would never know she is 11 except for the white muzzle. All of her old human friends who noticed her slow decline have asked me what in the world I was doing to create such a dramatic change. Everyone has noticed. I am so grateful to you people for this formula and I have recommended it to all my friends with old dogs and even give them jars to try. Thank you for helping my dear old Ceilidh to have a vigorous and pain-free old age. Keep up the good work and I will keep telling my friends.

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciate your Longevity product. It proved to be the essential component in keeping our German Shepherd, Budvar, alive and healthy for over 15 years.
When Budvar's health started to decline, we started giving him Longevity and he devoured it with enthusiasm. His weight, coat, agility and overall demeanor improved tremendously, giving him several more happy years. The local vets were amazed at his improvement and wanted to know what we had give him, as they didn't think that he should even be alive, much less happy and healthy. They had people calling our house asking about what had helped our dog regain his health.
I have given many people samples of Longevity to try on their dogs, as well as catalogs to order from. Repeatedly, they have been amazed at the improvement. I work with the local Humane Society and recommend your products to fellow animal enthusiasts.
Again, thank you for your wonderful products. We now feed Longevity to all of our hunting and pet dogs, and they are all doing great.

Dear Springtime,
I give Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewablesto my Dachshund and my Sheltie. My Standard Wirehaired took it all her life! I love the shiny coats, clear eyes and the activity levels. My Sheltie never limps and she does have joint issues. I recently took care of a black German Shepherd named Gretchen with many skin and ear problems (swelling, itching, and redness). I immediately put her on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables (three of each per day) and now she is so vibrant. Her dull, lifeless coat and hair loss have disappeared. I swear by your products.

Dear Springtime,
I want to thank you for creating such amazing products. My dog Oscar is a four year old Bullmastiff that suffered an injury in January of this year to his knee while playing with a friend outside in the ice and snow. A friend of mine suggested putting him on the Joint Health Chewables, which I did. He has been on it since February and we also put him on Fresh Factors since May. I also took him to a specialist who recommended that we put him on an all natural alfalfa supplement and fish oil to help his joints and ease his pain.
At the time of his first vet visit, the vet believed that Oscar had torn his ACL and might need surgery. But we decided to wait and see how the supplements did. At his last vet visit, the doctor believes that Oscar healed himself and his knee is better. Oscar Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables) for as long as they are helping him!

Dear Springtime,
I always give out a supply of Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factorssamples (plus a catalog) to folks who share their dog stories with me and their results are joyfully inspiring!

My husband, too, is a fan. We have a professional paleontological services business putting dinosaur skeletons together for museums, movies, etc. Currently, we are prepping and display mounting an 80 foot Sauropod named Apollo in our 1895 barn/dino hall and workshop, so we must stay strong and healthy. Springtime is our very best supplement program and we all thank you for your consistent attention to quality, service and that very real aspect of personal interaction.
Yours in health,

Dear Springtime,
After using Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables on my first Dachshund, Noopy, for 15 ½ years, I was impressed how long she lived and how healthy she was! When we got our new baby Dachshund, she needed surgery on her knee and hip, which the doctor literally re-broke and put back with a plate and screws. So I put our new "Noopy" on the same products. It has now been two weeks since the cast is off and she's running around like normal! I know the Fresh Factorsand the Joint Health Chewables are supporting her natural healing! Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I have two nine year old Border Collies (littermates), Ben and Flurry, my kids with fur and the loves of my life! Two and a half years ago, Ben started having trouble with his leg. I just thought we were playing too hard, but as it turned out he had an ACL injury (stifle). The vet said surgery; my pocketbook said "no." I found a doctor who made a brace and that worked just fine.
Fast forward two years later. Ben has lost weight and his brace is too big and cuts into his skin; at the same time I run across your ad while surfing the internet. On the testimonials alone, I order Joint Health Chewables and get Fresh Factors free. Less than two weeks have gone by and the change in both my dogs is shockingly amazing! We went mushrooming for about four hours yesterday and only found both dogs were tired but no stiffness at all. When we woke up this morning I thought for sure Ben would at least be lame, but NOTHING! I honestly can't believe it. I've called most everyone I know today to brag about this product. Also, Ben has had an itchy torso for almost a year and that has seemed to disappear... and we're right in the middle of allergy season! As with most of us our pets are just as important as any other family member. You not only provide us with products that bring results but you make it affordable and use quality ingredients.
Thank you Springtime! It's nice to know we can all play hard and still walk the next day! My next purchase will be for me!
Warmest regards,
Amy LaForest-Thomas, Michigan

Dear Springtime,
Attached is a picture of Chowder, a Sheltie that I adopted almost three years ago. He is eight or nine years old. In January of this year, Chowder got up one morning and was very lame on his front left leg, with a badly swollen wrist. He could not walk without crying out in pain.
I took him to the vet who found that he had two tick-borne diseases. We treated him with a month's worth of anti-inflammatory and antibiotics. Unfortunately, about 10 days after we stopped the medication, he was again lame on the same left front leg.
X-rays determined that not only was his wrist swollen, but that he also had an issue in the left shoulder. He went back on the anti-inflammatory for about 10 days, but once again he came up lame soon after finishing it.
Our vet then decided to put him on the anti-inflammatory for six months to determine if we could stave off surgery.
Soon after, I took Chowder to be groomed and the groomer told me about Springtime's Joint Health Chewables. I immediately ordered two bottles (together with two bottles of Fresh Factors). After Chowder finished the first bottle of Joint Health Chewables (in 45 days as I was doubling the dose), I took him off the anti-inflammatory to see what would happen. That was close to three weeks ago and the limp has NOT returned.
I'm thrilled and so is our vet, who only very reluctantly ordered the six months of anti-inflammatory for Chowder. Chowder, however, is not thrilled, because now he has to go for a walk every day. We have some more weight to get off of him so he's back to walking again. (Chowder weighed approximately 55 lbs. when I got him and he's now down to about 40 lbs., with 5 more to be taken off.)
Thanks for this great product.

Dear Springtime,
This is Jean with Boomer who was once in your catalog... Boomer is now five and still has his leg that we were told he was going to lose from joint issues in the elbow by the age of two. He is getting a little limpy as he is out Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. Also, he has been playing with the puppies. They jump on his back and chew his ears and bite his tail. The big 'ole, love bucket Vermonster just whimpers and wags his tail.
The reason why Boomer looks so forlorn in the photo with the ball is that he knows Ollie, his Mom, and Diggity Doo Dog (the puppies' mom) are hot on his tail after his ball!
Truly,
Jean Wolinsky, Vermont

Dear Springtime,
Your product Fresh Factors has changed my 11 year old chocolate Lab, Guinness! Fresh Factors was referred to me by a friend and in less than two months I have noticed a difference. He moves easier (actually runs again), his fur, which was suffering, is better and he is much more alert.
I've sent you a great action picture of a very happy dog! I was out throwing the ball to Guinness this morning, and just a few months ago, he could barely get up!
Thanks for your product!

Dear Springtime,
My 1st German Shepherd named Jovi lived a better and longer life with the help of Fresh Factors. Now I feed Star, my second German Shepherd, Fresh Factors to make sure he stays healthy and has a good life before he ever has joint problems. They have made his coat so pretty… I recommend it to everyone! Star thinks the tablets are treats instead of vitamins.
Please don't quit making Fresh Factors. I plan on keeping Star healthy for many years to come.

Dear Springtime,
Hannah, my beautiful twelve year old Border/Chow mix, can now run down and catch our city's unsavory rodents thanks to Springtime's Fresh Factors! (Without Fresh Factors, she struggles to get up from a lying position.) Their liver flavor allows me to feed them to Hannah right out of the jar! Consequently our seven year old Pom mix, Nipper, begs for her own Fresh Factors!
Thank you for the happiness you've brought to my family and me;
especially Addison and Madeleine, our two children, who love all God's furry critters!

Dear Springtime,
What awesome products you have! We were really perplexed at our Shepherd mix's itchiness. Nothing seemed to help her. We tried antihistamines, food changes, you name it, but with no relief. We found your catalog and ordered Fresh Factors right away. I must say that Zayle no longer has the itchy, crawling skin problem when you touch her! Zayle is seven years old and Fresh Factors has put a "spring" in her step! Thank you!
I also use Tonic Blend and CoQ10. I feel great. Your products really work.
Keep up the good work – we appreciate quality and natural products.
Best regards,

Dear Springtime,
We have two German Shepherds that are 17 months old and a Standard Poodle that will be 12 years old this June. Trixie, the Standard Poodle, has been on Fresh Factors for a little over two years, and the pups, Luther and Leyna, since they were eight weeks old. I noticed Trixie was getting a little slow at getting up and not playing as much with the pups, so I ordered some Joint Health Chewables to add to her Fresh Factors. What a difference I see in her and it has been just shy of a week. She plays longer and harder with the two Shepherds and is no longer slow in getting up. She just has a lot more energy now!
They also take Bug Off Garlic Chewables for flea and tick control. I have a lot of faith in your products, which is saying something nowadays. Thank you so much for making quality products that we dog owners can trust.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Calhoun, Pennsylvania
Note: Sadly Trixie passed away May 11, 2009 at the age of 14.

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to send you my testimonial about the products we use on our dog.We got Bruce, a black Standard Poodle, when he was four months old. He is our second Standard Poodle. As we always walk our dogs for about 50 minutes, we noticed by the end of the walk we were practically dragging him home. We also noticed a pretty big "sway" in his hips as he walked. We made an appointment and the x-ray confirmed what we had expected. At six months old, he already had hip problems. As a matter of fact, our vet said he had not seen a case this severe in a pup so young, except for one other time! He gave us a prescription for a pain killer and explained that Bruce would probably be put down at a very young age due to either liver problems from the meds or the severe joint issues he had. Months passed and we normally had to give Bruce half a pill each night because you could tell he was in pain
. Out of the blue, we received your catalog in the mail and decided to give your products Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors a try. Fast forward to Bruce's exam this past fall. Our vet comes in the room and was totally amazed at the change in Bruce! As a matter of fact, he thought it was a different dog! Bruce now runs (which he didn't do as a young dog), plays, and is the picture of a vibrant dog! We cannot thank you enough! We now feel Bruce will live a long time versus the three or so years we had been told. Although Bruce still has the "sway" when he walks, since starting on your products, we have not given him the meds at all!
Sincerely,
Rick & Connie Dail, South Dakota

Dear Springtime,
Whenever my dogs are about to receive treats when they come in, they expect Fresh Factors. They love them so much. Every dog we have had loves them, including different breeds, sizes, and ages. Not only do they love them, but also we don't have to force them to eat them like other vitamins. They prefer your product over unhealthier treats…that are horrible for their teeth and have little to no nutritional value.
My older dog actually got excited when we shook the bottle. Up to age 18 he still could eat them because they were easy on his teeth. He loved your product. Receiving Fresh Factorseach day was the best part of his day.
Thank you for having a great, healthy product like Fresh Factors. It has done wonders in my dogs' diets, supplementing what they just don't get in their daily food.
Sincerely,
Devin Davis, Wisconsin

Thank you for having a great, healthy product like Fresh Factors. It has done wonders in my dogs' diets, supplementing what they just don't get in their daily food.
Sincerely,
Devin Davis, Wisconsin
Dear Springtime,
Rylee was in pain, emaciated, and neurologically unsound, and weighed only five pounds at three years of age. She couldn't stand without wobbling nor could she walk without falling over. She was a miniature Black & Tan Dachshund surrendered to Dachshund Rescue of North America. This was my first experience with a rescue in that kind of shape.
I had heard of Springtime supplements from another member of DRNA, located on the East Coast, so I thought I would try them. Rylee was put on crate rest, premium quality foods, Joint Health Chewables, Fresh Factors (every other day) and the results were amazing. She was triple dosed Joint Health Chewables daily for about two and a half weeks, then down to twice a day. Within a few weeks, this little dog didn't look anything like the dog I had picked up in the pouring down rain on a Friday afternoon. She was gaining weight, was alert, spirited and playful – all of the things she wasn't when she came into rescue. She left my care and was adopted weighing three pounds more than when she arrived. Here are a couple of photos of Rylee before and after. Joint Health Chewablescertainly saved this little girl and gave her back her life.
I use Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors religiously for all of my rescue Dachshunds. And, there are many stories within DRNA of how Springtime has given life back to these little ones in our care.

Dear Springtime,
A year ago, my beloved Husky/Shepherd, Luna, died at the age of 14 and a half. I had had her since she was one year old. A friend, who is also the town Dog Officer, recommended Fresh Factors for Luna, as she always gives them to her dogs and rather liked the results. I really believed it enabled her to live a full and rather long life. When I adopted Dakota (a mixed breed Australian Cattle Dog and Total Unknown rescue dog) I started her on Fresh Factors right away. The big surprise is that they are her favorite treat. At bedtime, when I give them to her, she rushes to get into position, wagging and smiling. After she eats the tablets, she insists on licking my hand, apparently looking for crumbs or powder. It has become one of the high points of our day.

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you so much for making such a wonderful Fresh Factors. I have an eight year old, large breed German Shepherd named Gracie and this past winter she began showing signs of major joint issues. Since I started her on Fresh Factors she has so much spunk again and loves to play with our three year old Shepherd, Samson. What a wonderful product you have! Thank you for caring about animals and making a product that is so beneficial to them and to their owners. We get to have our Gracie back and Samson has his playmate again!
Sincerely,
Terri Durand, New York

Dear Springtime,
Just wanted to write a quick note to tell you how much I like your Fresh Factors. I have seen an improvement in my dog Boomer's coat – and he is already on a premium diet. Also, he had a slight lump at his shoulder that came and went – now completely gone since finding your product. He is a Labrador so he is very active. I'm sure with Fresh Factors he will have a long, healthy, and happy life.
Thanks,

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to let you know how well the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables have helped our dog. Rosa is a 6 year old Golden Retriever and has the beginning signs of joint problems…she was 3-legged and would not get up and do anything. We tried different prescriptions, some with NO results and some with little results. A friend happened to mention her dog was on Fresh Factors and it was worth a try. After one week we could see a difference. I added the Joint Health Formula tablets and she was greatly improved. She still has a slight limp but she runs, plays and climbs to the top of the hay bales and feels 100% better. Our vet was amazed. Our vet called me a while back and had about the same situation with another Golden. I gave him a catalogue and talked to him about six weeks later and he said the dog was also almost fully back to normal. Keep up the good work.

Dear Springtime,
I wanted to let you know that your products, specifically Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables for dogs, gave us an additional year and a half with our Weimaraner, Miller. He ruptured a disc in his back several summers ago and would literally fall on the floor in pain. After watching him go from a healthy weight to skin and bones on traditional meds, I took him off them and prepared to have to let him go. A friend recommended Fresh Factors and we gave it a try. Within two days he was trotting around the backyard like he hadn't been able to do for months. He never again had the debilitating pain attacks. We lost him to bloat in February, and while I miss him each and every day, I feel blessed that we had extra time with him, which I'm sure we wouldn't have had if it wasn't for your products.

Dear Springtime,
My dog, Jack, has had horrible allergies for several years (he's around nine now). Jack is a Lab/Aussie/BC mix; 65 lbs. We've tried changing his diet, and even found a doggie dermatologist/allergist who put him on yet a different diet (higher in fish oil), along with desensitization shots (not steroids!). They have helped, but every summer I have a cabinet full of lotions and potions to fight the itch. I couldn't scratch his chest or rub his tummy without his feet kicking to scratch. His armpits and belly were bright pink every summer and he was truly miserable. This year it started early in March with warm weather, when everything started to bloom. In April, I got your catalog in the mail and on a whim I ordered a bottle of Fresh Factors. I gave it to him hesitantly because I didn't want a new product to set off an allergy rash. It's now July, and no itching! This is usually the worst time of year, but not this year! I truly consider this a miracle for Jack! This is the first summer he is able to enjoy with no pink skin or scratching! I can rub his tummy and scratch his chest and see only pleasure in his eyes. You'd never know Jack has allergies, and there was a time I considered him the "boy in the bubble" because we tried to shelter him from everything. Thank you just isn't enough. You've improved Jack's quality of life, and ours as well.

Dear Springtime,
I am a Big Fan of Springtime, even got a few friends to get Fresh Factors for their dogs. All of my dogs are on it. (Oh, that reminds me; I need some Joint Health Capsules for myself, LOL) I love the ingredients in Springtime's products and fully believe that the company is "in it" for the benefit of our pets. That goes a long way with me...
Again, Thank You!
Very Truly Yours,

Dear Springtime,
I am so proud of her! Corky is a terrific dog and I really believe Fresh Factors has allowed her to stay with me as long as she has. The photos I'm sending were taken last week. She was 14 years old in July! By the way, she flushed and retrieved the two pheasants she's "showing off" with her dad!

Dear Springtime,
I want to thank you for manufacturing quality products. My Lab, Lucy, has had severe allergies for the past six years. She has been on many different medications and injections and I was washing her with topical shampoos to keep the allergens off of her. She was tested at a doggie dermatologist and she is allergic to every grass and tree in Florida. She has been on a special grain-free diet and still had to take medications to keep her from chewing off her feet and skin.
A friend told me about the Springtime supplements. I have tried several others that were twice as expensive and they never worked, so I thought I would try ONE more time and what a miracle happened. I started Lucy on Omega 3-6-9 and Fresh Factors and doubled the dose for her weight. Within one month, I had her almost completely weaned from her medications. She is so much better now; her coat is so soft and she hardly sheds. She rarely chews on her feet, only with normal cleaning behavior. We now have a new Chocolate Lab, Molly, and I have started her on the supplements. Her coat and skin are looking fabulous. I am so pleased with the outcome of these wonderful products. I will be ordering the Bug Off Garlic Chewables since now the mosquito and flea season is here.
Thank you so much Springtime,

Fresh Factors has made my 11 year old Golden act like a three year old. Other people in the neighborhood have asked where she gets so much energy from and I reply " Fresh Factors." I carry a picture on my phone and email it to them. Several friends have purchased your product.

Dear Springtime,
This letter is long overdue. We started giving our chocolate Lab, Herschel, your products about four or five years ago when he was nine, in hopes that it would help stave off the joint problems that were starting to affect his hips and hind legs. He suddenly could not walk upstairs without help, and would bark at us to help him. Within six weeks of taking Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors, he was able to walk up the stairs and jump on the bed again. In addition, his coat was much shinier than any of the other dogs in the neighborhood and he seemed to have more zip. Although the problems in his spine and neuropathy are now catching up with him at age thirteen and at 90 lbs, we truly feel that Springtime supplements have allowed Herschel to live a longer and more energetic life. We will continue using your products for him, as well as for future pets.
In addition, your customer service staff is always helpful and friendly, which adds to the positive experience. Thanks for everything.

To our shock and amazement my ten year old female beagle has the same ailment as my husband. Both have bad right hips. Thanks to your company, we have been using Fresh Factors. It worked so well on the dog so now my husband is thinking about using Joint Health Capsulesfor his joint pain. Now this time we can't wait to try Fresh Factorswith Joint Health Chewables.

Dear Springtime,
I have been giving my 13 year old Akita, Windy, Fresh Factors for about five years now. Recently, she had colic and had to have major surgery to remove her spleen and part of her stomach. Remember, she is 13 years old! Well, it has been two weeks post surgery and Windy is back to her old self. She is eating, taking her walkabouts around the farm, and running when the mood takes her. I believe if it were not for Fresh Factors this old dog (in age only) would not have survived. The vets are amazed at her astonishing recovery. Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
Thank you for your great products Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. A few years ago, now 11 year old Kapo was diagnosed with severe joint issues from tail to neck. The medicine administered by the vet made her sleep all the time and she had the potential for liver damage. Since Kapo had been on Springtime products, she is like a puppy again, playful and peppy. She is truly enjoying life. I have told several friends about the products. They have all been able to enjoy the benefits as well by watching their aging canines improve their quality of life.
Thanks again,

Dear Springtime,
I have been a faithful buyer from you since Noopy, my Dachshund, was injured 10 years ago. She is now 14 years old and she is on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. About three weeks ago I took her outside and she fell over sideways and could not get up!!!! She was diagnosed as having a stroke or vestibular disease (nerve damage between brain and ear) they could do nothing but give antibiotics and wait to see what happened. I was devastated to see my Noopy so sick and falling over every time I put her down. After two days I doubled her Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables and it has supported her natural healing process! After one week she improved more and by two weeks she was her old self and maybe better than before!!! How can I ever thank you for giving me back my Noopy? After 14 years she is my best friend, my companion. Your products are truly a blessing. Thank you and bless you all.

Dear Springtime,
I have three Labs that I got from a breeder that wouldn't use them for breeding because of their hip problems. All three are on Fresh Factors and are doing just GREAT! I have used Fresh Factors for over ten years with all the Labs that I have had. I will not stop giving my "kids" these chews. They are certainly worth the expense, which isn't much if you want healthy, happy dogs!

Dear Springtime,
We gave our daughter a Border Collie for her tenth birthday. She named him Elvis. He is now 14 ½ years old. A few months ago, he developed a growth by his left knee and was having difficulty walking. We took him to the vet, whom took an x-ray and said that Elvis probably had bone cancer and that his leg bone looked like a sponge. He was given less than two weeks to live.
About that time, I mentioned to a friend at work, Jeff Variel, what we were going through with our companion. He said he had these great vitamins he was going to bring and he'd like Elvis to try them. We were introduced to Fresh Factors. That was over three months ago. Although, we cannot take Elvis on long walks any longer, he has more energy and is in great spirits.
Elvis continues to eat his regular diet and takes two Fresh Factors vitamins per day; no prescription drugs. We just want to say, THANK YOU, for your wonderful product! You have changed our lives.
Respectfully,
Mary Lesowske, Oregon
