Tendons & Ligaments Success Stories

My sweet little pug, named "Annie" is like a completely new puppy now, after taking your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables for dogs! She had joint issues so bad in one of her rear legs that she could hardly walk on it. Especially after laying down, her leg would get real stiff and she would be hopping around on it. And, we couldn't take her on any 30 minute walks anymore with her brother "Scottie." It is just UNBELIEVABLE how much she has improved since taking your supplement. You have made a believer out of me.
I sure am glad we tried your product, because before your product we were using drugs to mask the pain. What a complete difference your product has made in her quality of life! Annie is only 5 years old and we sure are glad she is back to normal again by running around in the back yard and playing. So, if anybody ever questions the value of your product, just send them to our house for proof positive that this stuff really works!
Thanks again for your great products!
Sincerely, Bob and Susan Matthews, Virginia

Dear Springtime,
I ordered Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables for our 11year old English Pointer named Pepper. She whined with any movement and could hardly get up in the morning. After 1 month of your product, she was like a puppy again. My husband is going to take her hunting (he had retired her due to the pain). He can't believe how good she looks. Thank you!

I recently wrote about how Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables really helped our dog. After a short time on that, she was like a puppy again. Tonight she ran up the stairs for the first time in years, jumped up on the bed, and here is the picture. Thank you so much!

Below is a link showing how well Pepper is doing. She is 12 years old and keeps up with the younger dogs, sometimes even outpacing them. She is in the blue collar, runs off to the left of the screen. Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables transformed her. I also have my FEI level dressage horse on Springtime GL and J-Flex Concentrate. He has never had any problems even with a hard work and show schedule. Thanks again for your wonderful products.

I wrote to you about our 12 year old English Pointer named Pepper. After a few months on Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables she was moving like a puppy. The other night she came with me to the horse barn, and scaled a stack of hay bales that was at least 8 feet high. I don't know how she did it, I turned around to look for her and she was running around on top of the hay. I didn't know what would happen when she tried to come down. She leapt from about 4.5 foot height after sliding down the bales, took off and ran back to the house. All I can say is, your products really work.
Thanks again!

Good morning. One of our beloved dogs, Heidi, a 6 year old Bernese Mountain Dog/Golden Retriever mix was born with bad hips. That didn't keep her from being a happy, wonderful puppy. This past year, though, she has struggled with a limp on her front right leg. This made walking horrible for her, but she insisted not only on walking daily through the woods with the rest of the pack, but also going upstairs to bed at night. The vet had her on Tramadol and anti-inflammatory therapy, which wasn't making much difference (perhaps keeping her pain down). Finally, many X-rays showed that she has only one good joint. Surgery for one knee, two hips, and two front "elbows," which was going to be upwards of $25,000 – with no guarantees. The vet suggested a supplement called Glycoflex III, but I called your place of business, and after talking about Heidi's issues, I decided to begin your Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables with boswellia (a.k.a. frankincense). I have a good friend, Yvonne Burgan, who can't say enough about your products. As an herbalist of long standing (nearly 40 years), I was preparing to treat her herbally, when after only one week of starting the supplement, there is a huge difference in her walk as well as her attitude! Whereas before she lay around most of the time, now she's up and ready to go as soon as she hears me pick up my purse. I can't wait to see what the months ahead bring! Thanks so much! With five dogs to look after, two of them 10 years old, and depending greatly on Social Security for our income, I'm very careful about what I purchase for the animals. I believe this purchase from you was extremely worthwhile! Sondra B Johnson, Virginia

I don't know how to thank you for such a great supplement. My Irish Setter who is 8 had her last litter of puppies. Now she can retire not only as a show dog but as a mom. I started giving her C-Complex when I learned she was having pups. She had five very healty, chubby pups as you can see. I believe C-Complex supported her during her pregnancy. She is wonderful mother and has more than enough milk.
Thank you again,
Anne M. Pellette, Meadow Run Irish Setters, California

I have been using your products for years on my four dogs, including my Abby that is currently on your website. But, after getting my current foster dog, Libby, I had to write to you again as I have never seen such an extreme turnaround in such a short period of time.
Libby is a very sweet two year old Doberman Pinscher that has suffered extreme abuse, neglect and malnutrition. Due to a broken leg that was never treated, all four of her limbs were deformed. The deformation put excessive strain on her joints causing her a lot of pain and discomfort. She limped and rarely ran or played. She was also suffering from a depressed immune system that led to many bacterial sinus and fungal infections that caused her toenails to fall out and bleed. In short, Libby was a mess.
After only a few weeks on Longevity and C-Complex, I noticed that Libby had almost totally stopped limping and was actually running and playing with the other dogs. Her energy level skyrocketed. I watched her go from lethargic and uncomfortable to happy and playful, literally overnight!
Libby still has a long way to go, but she is already doing so much better and I know it's from your products. Thanks for helping me give this poor girl a new chance at the healthy, happy life she deserves!

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

Thanks for a great product. My 11 year old Aussie mix, Blaine, is like a puppy again. He had been kicked in the back leg by a horse and required extensive surgery, and then three years ago, he tore his ACL in his good leg. I was so scared he would not be able to cope with it. My vet put him on medication, and I immediately started searching for another product to help him. After only a few weeks of Joint Health Chewables, he was off the pain pills and has not needed any since. I have recently started all of my dogs on Fresh Factors and have noticed an improvement in them. I am truly thankful that I found you and have recommended you to everyone I think your products will benefit.
Lynn Vickers, Georgia

I have a 13-year old Black Lab mix named Layla who I got from the Burlington Vermont Humane Society on April 13, 1995. I noticed a limp within one week of getting her and brought her to my vet. He took x-rays of her front left leg and gave me the bad news that she suffered from a birth defect… It turned out that the radial bone stopped growing while the ulna bone hadn't…making one bone shorter than the other. My vet explained that Layla would end up with joint problems in her back as a result of putting all her weight on her good right leg.
I started her on Fresh Factors and eventually added Joint Health Chewables to the mix and she is still going strong. I would like to thank you for your great products and for also giving me added years with my best friend. When I first started Layla on Fresh Factors, I thought it made a huge improvement in her mobility, but I also thought it may have just been wishful thinking on my part. So, after the first bottle ran out, I waited to see if her bad limp and muted mobility were just my imagination - but, no, they weren't. Once back on the product the difference after one week had me convinced. Layla was so improved she kept up with the healthy dogs at the dog park.
Thanks again,
James Albanese, Florida

All I can say is that your products are a God send. We have two Chihuahua's, Taco and Sammy. Our four year old, Sammy, started limping in both hind legs, lost his ability to play and acted like he just plain didn't want to live. Our vet took x-rays and diagnosed hip problems. He said Sammy was too young for this, but the x-rays didn't lie. He wanted us to take him to K-State to a specialist. I was very distraught. Two days after, we received your magazine and as I was reading it to my husband, he handed me the phone to call you. I ordered a bottle of Joint Health Chewables and three days later I started him on three a day. Since then, I have ordered more Joint Health Chewables and added Fresh Factors.
Sammy is back to his playful self and no limp. I took him back to the vet for his annual shots and told him that my baby was not a guinea pig for K-State and showed him how Sammy could walk.
It's amazing! I can't say enough about your products and have told several people about it.
God bless you all,
Linda Arnold, Kansas

My Lab, Houston, had sprained a wrist on his right front leg and had felt the effects for at least eight months. After one month of using Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables he is no longer limping. Before I put him on these products nothing would help him. He would cry and limp.
I also have my eight year old Lab, Lexie, on the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. She was having trouble getting up and walking. Sometimes she would fall down; her back legs would give in or she would limp. I doubled the dose. Now, after two months she is doing much better.
Thank you very much,
Rachael Barbee, Georgia

Brandi is a fourteen year old Yellow Retriever. She has been using Springtime products for three years. I know that without them she would not be able to walk. Brandi suffers with severe joint problems every day. However, because of Joint Health Chewables, Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Granules she is able to walk up and down stairs with little trouble and continues to enjoy playing outside, short daily walks and visiting with our neighbor's dog. Brandi's quality of life has been greatly improved because of using Springtime products. Our family looks forward to a few more good years with our sweet girl. Thank you, Springtime.
How could you improve on perfection? No matter how I place my order, it is always delivered promptly. The customer service staff is outstanding. I hear your phones ringing like crazy in the background, but I feel like the only customer you have. The individual, personal treatment is wonderful. All of my questions are answered with care and consideration for my dog's special needs. The staff listens to everything I say and responds accordingly. You can't ask for more.
Joyce Barnes, Maryland

I have had all my Tibetan Terriers on Fresh Factors since they were recommended by a fellow breeder back in the late nineties. My senior dogs are also getting Joint Health Chewables and still take long walks with much enjoyment. This is quite a feat considering that one of them has no hip joints!
Ellen Berkman, Virginia

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your products and your dedication to improving animals' health. Your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables added years to my "Harley's" life. He passed away last year at the age of twelve but was still lively and active to the end. I've continued using your products on my eight year old Dobe, Morgan. She has a history of neck and back problems, but since using Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors she hasn't had any problems since. She is active in agility and just came in second at Nationals. I will always use your products and continue recommending them to family and friends.
Thank you!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to let you know that our 14 year old Sheltie, Rex, has been on your Joint Health Chewables for a few months now. Rex was diagnosed with joint issues in his hips a couple of years ago. He took a turn for the worse a few months ago and we could tell he was in pain. He seemed really depressed, didn't want to play and would go to a quiet area of the house to be all alone. I was just beside myself with worry as he is our baby. I had tried other joint products in the past with no success. I was basically giving your product as one last try, and it worked wonders! Within a few days he was doing so much better. I wish I had known of your products years ago. This morning in particular he was really scampering around with a big doggie grin on his face. Rex plays so hard now that he falls asleep with his toys around him like he did when he was a puppy. You have truly helped him and me!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Michele Brannon, Georgia

I would like to say that your product has done wonders for my nine year old German Shepherd/Golden Retriever/Chow mix baby girl named Penny! She used to have a bad click to her knee when she walked or ran. She hated to even put weight on her leg. Since she has been on the Fresh Factors and the Joint Health Chewables her knee doesn't click and she can run around with her eight month old Lab brother George!
Thank you so much!
Kim Buffington, California

My American Pit bull Terrier, Spike, got hurt as a puppy and his hips would get so sore. The Joint Health Chewables have helped... We appreciate that you care for dogs as much as we care for ours. Thank you I recommend your products to all. Natural is better.
Nancy Chaban and "Spike," Massachusetts

I have to tell you about a sweet chocolate Labrador named Penny. She used to walk with her owner at almost a snail's pace. I just saw Penny (age 15 years) walking down the street with a perked up pace. Her owner told me that she is demanding walks more often now and is walking slightly faster. I gave them some Joint Health Chewables only two weeks ago! Wow, I would have thought that it would have taken a little longer for it to work! I have been a customer of Springtime for about 14 years. Okay, I admit it, I don't always remember to take my pills, but the kids (canines) always get theirs! As a matter of fact, Jesse "I'm a bad boy" James is limping a little less lately...
Sincerely,
Caroline Czyz Counard, Texas

I have a six year old St. Bernard. Since she's been taking Joint Health Chewables she's improved 70% - it does the trick. I am so happy because she is my life - she and I are inseparable. She's my Baby (that's her name) and a big one I must say.
Thank you,
La Verne Cruse, Illinois

Our seven and a half year old black Lab has had Lyme disease three times and is terribly stiff in his joints. We now have him on Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors twice daily with feeding. Before using your products, he didn't use his left rear leg. He has been on your products for over five years and he acts like a young pup.
Thank you so very much! Dante thanks you, too!
Elaine Ferraro, New York

I have been giving my dogs Fresh Factors for about 15 years, with my first Lab, Bailey, then with my next two labs, Tucker and Maggie. I have recommended your products to many people. Everyone has come back with great stories of success.
I have only one dog now, Tucker. I had stopped giving him Fresh Factors for a while. He recently started limping and favoring his back left leg. I started him again on Fresh Factorsand Joint Health Chewablesand within three days, he was much better. He's 11 and a half years old. So, any improvement is welcomed.
Thank you again for your great products.
Lorraine Finizio, Florida

Brutus, Chloe and Luke would like to thank you very much for your wonderful Joint Health Chewables. We ordered these for Brutus, who has very dysplastic hips. He used to limp and have a hard time walking at just the age of 2. Since we have been giving him the Joint Health Chewablespills, he can run, play and jump and has absolutely no problems with his hips. We have been so amazed at the results of your product. Chloe has hyper extended shoulders and was starting to limp, so we started her on the Joint Health Chewables pills and she no longer has any problems and is able to chase squirrels at the spry age of 6. Luke, our most athletic bully and our proud rescued bulldog from On The Rebound Bulldog Rescue, loves the extra benefit that the Joint Health Chewables have given him. He has no joint problems, but loves the taste and we know that the pills will help prevent any problems in the future. Thank you so much for making my babies feel so much better on a daily basis. We love your products.
Sincerely,
Kelley Fouché, Virginia

We started our beautiful, precious pups on Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factorsa few months ago…after reading the testimonials in the catalog, I knew I had to place an order, especially since the prices were so reasonable compared to other supplements (of lesser quality) that we had checked into.
We have a large, mixed breed male named Willem that we rescued…Then there is our "maximum diva," Chloé, a full-blooded female Bassett Hound, who…was born the same day we rescued Willem. Both dogs are four years old and were starting to have stiffness and joint problems – especially the Bassett Hound. She was limping around on her back leg/hip area… We were worried that she might require surgery.
What a godsend to get your catalog. We ordered both supplements listed above immediately and received them right away. We started both dogs on two a day each and the results have been fantastic. Within a week, there was no more stiffness or limping. Their eyes are bright and their coats are gorgeous. They also seem to scratch less. In addition, they seem to be more affectionate, have happier dispositions, and run around the backyard like puppies. We are so grateful to have found your products and tell all of our friends and family about how wonderful they are…
Thanks again for your wonderful products.

Our brown Standard Poodle, Mocha Lola Latte (better known as Lola) has been taking Fresh Factors for many years and she was healthy and doing well. Several days a week we take her and our two year old black Standard Poodle, Monty, to a local park at 6 AM and meet with a big Lab and a small Terrier type. They have fun with lots of smelling and running. When we first began to meet with this group, there were days when Monty would go without Lola as she was not up to running around even though she wanted to! Other times she would come home limping for the rest of the day and sometimes for several days after.
As suggested by a friend, we ordered your Joint Health Chewables. We started her on two a day. After a month or two, Joint Health Chewables kicked in! Lola is almost 10 and she has not missed a day at the park since then. The other two dogs at the park are both three year old boys and Monty is two. Our gorgeous grownup lady keeps them in line and on their toes thanks to Joint Health Chewables!
Again, this is a letter of thanks! We appreciate your quality products and for keeping our furry friends feeling good!
Bill and Debra Gershen, California

Want to thank you for your wonderful products. Our German Shepherd, Tawney, who will be 11 years old, started about a year ago with a limp in her right rear leg. She had a lot of trouble getting up after she got laid down. I tried different things from the vet to get her better, but nothing seemed to work. Then, in the first of the year (2008) I got your catalog in the mail. I looked it over, read about Fresh Factors and ordered some in May 2008. I started giving Tawney these and in a few months I could see improvement.
Then I ordered Joint Health Chewables. Tawney has been taking the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables since the end of June, and now I see a lot of improvement. Hardly any limp now. From now on she will always be taking your products.
Thank you,
Chuck Grubb, Ohio

Our dog, Oscar is going on ten years old. He has been taking Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors for about two years. He was getting down in his back, but since taking these he has been doing real well. I really believe it has helped us keep our Dachshund around for a few more years. We love him very much.
Thanks,
Joe and Lois Hampton, Tennessee

I enjoy reading your catalogs very much. My 13 year old little boy, Barney, a rescue dog, is doing very well on the Joint Health Chewables. He does not need…any other pain medications.
Thank you,
Judith Hempel, New York

I have two dogs, Macho, a German Shepherd, and Danny, an ex-racer Greyhound. Macho, at two years old, was diagnosed with Lyme's disease. It took a lot out of him. Everyday it was something. He's a very strong, active dog. He is shown in conformation shows, has obedience titles and sheep herding degrees. He is also a registered therapy dog. So he is always busy.
I lived in New Jersey on a small farm all my life. About three years ago, I moved to south Florida. Both Macho and Danny have been on Fresh Factorsall their lives. About one year ago, I saw Macho having a lot of problems. I also saw the new Joint Health Chewables. I put Macho on it and wow! What a big change in him. He was a lot stronger in his movement. Danny is on the Fresh Factors and doing well. He races around the yard like a nut. He is in such wonderful shape!
Macho is now seven years old and doing great on his Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. Danny is also seven years old and doing great! I think both Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewableswork very well together. I recommend them to everyone. Thank you all so much. These two are my life and I look forward to many more years with them.
Thank you,
Stephanie Horvath, Florida

My daughter and I have a three-legged Akita who has arthritis. She couldn't even get up to eat. We had to feed her laying down. After being on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Chewables (since 2003) she began to run, bark, and is now very friendly. Bug Off Garlic Chewableskeeps the flies, mosquitoes, and fleas off of her. There is no doubt in our mind that Springtime products have literally saved her life.
Melvin Johnson, Virginia
Note: Sadly, the Johnson family dog has since passed away

I have seen tremendous results with your Joint Health Chewables, which my father gifted to our seven year old Labrador mix, Sasha-Bear. She used to have severe joint pain after her favorite exercise, swimming... But, with your Joint Health Chewables, ALL her pain has vanished, as if she's a young girl again!
I am eternally grateful for your products! Keep 'em coming!
Holly Johnston, Washington

I have an eight year old Golden Retriever, named Dusty. Dusty has had joint pain in his hips that developed this past spring. I heard about Joint Health Chewables, read the testimonials and thought, I will try anything. He was in so much pain and sometimes couldn't walk. Now, after approximately five months Dusty can walk and run without pain again. I am a believer in this product and my dog is living proof.
Thanks,
Dina Jones, Texas

Joint Health Chewablesfor dogs has made a wonderful improvement in the quality of life for my four year old Landseer Newfoundland. He has hip difficulties, which was a problem for him at six months of age and has worsened. He was dependent on medication for pain relief, and still had difficulty getting up or in the car without a ramp. He has been on Joint Health Chewables for five months and only has to take medication on rare occasions. I recommend it to others with joint pain in their dogs.

Thought you might be interested in my dog, Dolly, who was started on your Joint Health Chewables and Fresh Factors about 18 months ago. At that time she was in terrible pain, could barely walk and would shake because she hurt so bad. For about a year she had times of jumping around like a puppy, now she just walks around and sleeps a lot. She is deaf and nearly blind, but manages to take her long walk around the back yard each morning, which I think is quite good for an old lady who celebrated her EIGHTEENTH birthday last August 2005. I don't think she would have had a fairly comfortable life these past 18 months without the help of your fine products.
Lois McCoy, Colorado

Fresh Factors have been a part of all our dogs' diets for many years. They beg for them, and the results are healthy, happy pets. Recently, our beloved Lab mix, Josie, showed signs of joint pain and we knew that she had been abandoned and malnourished eight years ago. She now is on Fresh Factors plus Joint Health Chewables and now she's chasing the tennis ball and is keeping up with our two German Shepherds, Fritz and Meeka. Thank you for such great products.

Once again, we're writing to tell you yet another success story from On The Rebound Bulldog Rescue.
This is George with his new mommy, Betty. George tore his ACL, underwent surgery, and has been on Joint Health Chewablessince. He had to slow down for a while, but he's back running around his yard. He continues to amuse Betty every day.
Thank you!

We are so pleased with how these two products have helped our Irish Setter. He had hip problems when he was younger and in the past six months or so it has really caught up with him again. He is now 11 years old. When we started him on your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables, he was having difficulty keeping his rear legs under him on our hardwood floors and he was falling down the stairs at least once a day. I started him out with the higher recommended dose and after a couple of weeks cut him back to one of each tablet twice a day mixed into his dry feed and while no one would mistake him for a puppy, he has a lot of his old zip back. He can make it up and down the stairs without falling and only occasionally has difficulty standing up on slippery wood floors. The vet has suggested NSAIDS for him but said if we could find something that was natural to go ahead and use it. I am so glad that we did.
Sylvia Newberry, Vermont

I can only say your product has made me a believer. Joint Health Chewables has helped my 13 year old Lab, Casey, to still enjoy his later years. Thanks for providing a good product at a reasonable price.
John Piluso, Rhode Island

I just wanted to tell you how great I think your products are. My little dog, Dakota, had back surgery when she was two years old. She is now six years old and I could tell her back and legs were hurting her. I started her on the Joint Health Chewables two weeks ago and she is like a new dog. No more limping, and she can go up and down the stairs just fine. She is like a new dog. You brought life and energy back into my pet.
God bless,
Errin Richmond, Georgia

I have been using Fresh Factors, and more recently Joint Health Chewables for my dogs. One of them is a Dachshund named Pixi who will be turning 17 this year. Even though he's had back surgery, I believe these two products from Springtime have something to do with the fact that he is very healthy and mobile despite his age. It really is like a magic potion.

Thank you for the terrific product Joint Health Chewables! Shilo, my Rottweiler, is only a little over a year old [and has hip problems], but before we tried this product, I thought we may have to have her put down because she was in so much pain. Everyone who has seen her lately is asking what I did for her! I took your product to my vet and he said yes, it should help her. It just made a miraculous difference in her! She is a completely different dog!
Joan Smith, Ohio

Our seven year old Yellow Lab, Harley, was starting to show signs of stiffness and would stagger upon rising from laying down. He also had developed some joint swelling and a bony growth on the inside of his right ankle joint. He is otherwise a very energetic dog who loves to accompany our trail rides. Harley is also a performer and does an assortment of tricks. We put him on Fresh Factorsand later added Joint Health Chewables to his daily regimen.
As you can see from this newspaper photo that appeared on the front page of our local paper, Harley took first place in Best Trick as he jumped through a series of declining hoop sizes at a local dog show. Thanks to Fresh Factorsand Joint Health Chewables, we expect to be auditioning Harley soon for a spot on Pet Star.
Sincerely,
Joe and Linda Sperie, Ohio

Tex is a 14 year old Blue Heeler with bad hips. Without your product, Joint Health Chewables, it would take him two or three trips to get up from a laying position. Now he gets up usually on the first try, and trots around without falling. Thanks for your product and adding quality to Tex's life.
Grateful in my heart,
Jerri Marie Swank, Missouri

My male Bichon, Baxter, had had seizures and a possible stroke at age ten. We'd adopted him at age five to keep our female Bichon, Missy, company. Baxter had been abused and neglected by his previous owner.
After Baxter's seizures left him unable to walk and other residuals, the vet said time to say goodbye. That's when I said Hello to Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. At 12 now, Baxter's back to normal! You'd never know we nearly had to put him down. Baxter and Missy are like a couple of puppies, full of energy with your products!
Lora Tell, Colorado

I just felt I had to write and tell you the difference your Joint Health Chewables has made in my dog's quality of life.
Approximately four months ago, Abby, our six year old American Cocker Spaniel, had to undergo surgery for a torn anterior cruciate ligament on one leg and then on the other leg two weeks later! She healed nicely but I could tell she was stiff because of the way she moved and had trouble getting up. She was just not the same hippity-hoppity girl as she was prior to surgery. I had read that glucosamine and chondroitin might help, and, after a web search directing me to your website, obtained your Joint Health Chewables. I had my reservation, to say the least. But, after six weeks of treatment, she has responded so favorably that I, my wife and the vet are absolutely astonished!
Kudos to you and your team! You have given us our old Abby back. She just keeps getting better and better!
Many, many thanks!

At six months, my Field Spaniel, Emma, could hardly walk because of hip problems. The products prescribed by her vet made her ill and did not help her hips at all. I contacted a friend who told me about Springtime. After two weeks on Fresh Factors, Emma was like a new dog. At 1-1/2 years, her condition deteriorated again and I added Joint Health Chewables. Her orthopedic vet says she is doing so well at 2-1/2 years, he is not doing the surgery he felt was inevitable. I have now added Bug Off Garlic Chewables also. My Welsh Springer, Maggie, also loves Fresh Factors to help with her allergies.
I have recommended your products to many people. I love your company – both the service and products.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,

I absolutely love your products. My first experience with Springtime was years ago with a Pug who had a luxating patella problem. Although we had to do a surgery, we kept her on Fresh Factorsand Joint Health Chewables during her recuperation. When the vet took the bandages off, he was stunned. He said he had never seen a surgical site heal so quickly before. We had a horse that was severely debilitated by joint problems whose condition was much improved by the Joint Health Chewables. We also had a 15 year old Chow Chow who lost his fur. We put him on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables and it grew back! We just love your products.

Your product is awesome. My dog, Braxton, was diagnosed with hip problems about two years ago. He is a Cairn Terrier born in 1994 and has always been a runner. We used to jog daily. But about two years ago, he slowed way down. We play ball a couple times a day, too. Anyway, I noticed him slowing down and I started carrying him upstairs with me. He also could no longer jump up on the bed and would just carry his ball around and cry. I heard about your Joint Health Chewables for him and ordered immediately. He is 360 degrees different. He jumps, runs and plays ball until he is exhausted. I am so happy and appreciative of your product. He is my boy that I love to watch play. I am telling everyone about your product. Amazing results...thanks so much!

I am just as delighted with your products over the last couple of months as I was several years ago when one of my older working dogs started to get stiff in one back leg. I now have four of my six Border Collies on Fresh Factors as well as the Joint Health Chewables... I raise registered sheep and my Border Collies are an important part of the farm. Thanks for your good products that keep them going strong even as they get older. They, like people, hate to give up what they love to do... I have been wheelchair bound for the last 25 years due to a fall with a horse. These dogs allow me to continue raising my sheep. This also keeps me active and healthy. Bless your products. They still remain to be the best.

My Aussie mix, was tripedal two winters in a row. Joint Health Chewables put him back on all fours for the next six years of his life with not so much as a limp! We have new puppy now named Jonah. Springtime's products have truly enhanced the enjoyment of pet companionship because it has proven to improve the health and happiness of each pet I have owned.

In late October of 2005, my over 10 year old male Doberman had a fall down the deck steps while chasing a stray cat. He seriously injured his rear but no fractures. Due to his age, I didn't want to give him meds, but tried other joint catalog products with very little results. By the end of March, he was to the point that at times his rear legs gave out and he couldn't get up on his own. I was forced to face the extremely difficult choice of euthanasia. I then heard about your Joint Health Formula in powder form, and after reading the testimonials from horse people, I decided to give it one last try.
After being on it for five weeks with totally miraculous results, I just recently placed a second order. By the first week in May of 2006 and my guy now reaching the age of 11 years and three months, he is once again galloping around the yard and getting into mischief. I thank you so very much, Springtime, for this wonderful product, and giving me extra time with my beloved companion. I've tried others, but found no other to match the results obtained by this product. I have since recommended this to Doberman people friends, and one of them already is getting the exact same results with her own now advanced aged Doberman afflicted with joint problems.
Joan E. Forsythe, Wisconsin

I've been a customer for a few years now. My dogs like your products. Thanks to you, my kids are living to ripe old ages. My Mastiff lived to be 12 years old. My oldest Dobe is 11 years old. The vet is guessing that my Akita, a rescue several years ago, is at least 12 years old. And I'm starting my two youngsters Zupan (Dogo Argentino, eight months) and Chutzpah (Pit Bull, seven months) on the road to living a very long, healthy life with your products (Joint Health Formula, Bug Off Garlic Granules).
Thank you for giving me happy senior moments,
Elizabeth Gaulke, Ohio

This is our beloved Keiko. She is a four year old Rottweiler-Chow mix. Six months ago we learned she had severe hip problems and would need a hip replacement. I immediately started looking for alternatives. We tried the vet's pain relievers plus glucosamine, then a couple of other brands we found online but nothing worked. I got desperate to relieve her pain so I went online to see if she could have ibuprofen or other painkillers. I was glad to find someone glowingly referring your product and decided to try it. Your personnel helped us decide which product she needed and it has helped tremendously.
We started her on 1-1/2 scoops daily and within a week, she was up and around without limping. By the end of the month she was out playing with "her" horse ('Dancer' – our adopted wild Mustang)…she is discomfort free and a much happier dog. I am so glad to have my dog saved from the knife and a life of pain and restrictions…
Thank you for a super product that gave our loving pet back!

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.
Sincerely,

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!

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.

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.

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.
Sincerely,
Tami Huntley, Washington

…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.
Donna Shiffler-Jones, Virginia

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!

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.

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.
Bill, Carole, "Jimbo" and "Gabrielle" Shaw, New Hampshire

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.
Susan Stephan, Illinois

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!
Lucinda Stringer, Ohio

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

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!

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.

I have a mini Dachshund who takes Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables every day. Her coat is shiny, her eyes bright, and she has bunches of energy.
I take chondroitin sulfate every day and it has taken away a lot of stiffness in the morning.
Evelyn Collins, New Jersey

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.

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.
Rhonda Cook, Illinois

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!
Mildred Cuevas, New Jersey

I have given Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables to my Bassett Hound, Daisy, for years. Recently though, I doubled the dosage, and now she can get back up on the couch. She is seven and a half and has back problems, but with Fresh Factorsand Joint Health Chewablesshe is much better.

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.

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.

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.
Connie Rizzotti, Connecticut

I just want to thank you because I feel the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables together helped support my dog's joint health. Mason is now walking without a limp and even running with us again. Also, his coat is amazingly beautiful! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to support our dogs healthy!
Debbie Shearer, Florida

Just thought I would send a picture of my white Lab, Charlie. He has been on the Joint Health Chewables for about a year and a half. The change in him was remarkable. His main station in life is to play ball. We would always have to keep him idle for a few days due to limping caused by running. Now he never limps after a ball playing session. My boss, Connie Wise, and also an acquaintance, Heather Miller, suggested the Joint Health Chewables. So glad I did. Charlie is going to be 10 years old in September. You'd never know it!
Thank You,
Meredith Bobincheck, Florida


I just had to write to say 'Thank you!' for making our Bernese Mountain Dog, Bella's life pain-free. She was diagnosed at seven months of age with hip problems in her rear right leg. She would waddle and do some bunny hopping when running around. Sometimes at night when she laid on her back and tried to flop her legs from side to side she would yelp in pain. This broke my heart and I knew that she would probably need hip surgery when she stopped growing. I did some research and found that many dogs can live with hip problems simply by managing it with supplements, weight control, and limited exercise. I then searched around for the best supplements I could find, desperately wanting to keep her from hurting.
I found great reviews of your products and ordered some Joint Health Chewables right away. After about two to three weeks I noticed that she had a little more mobility in her back leg and she didn't need to bunny hop (both legs together) anymore. She's now almost two years old and has not yelped once! Thank you, thank you, and thank you for sparing our Berner the dreaded need for surgery. I recommend your products to all my dog owner friends and am now a long time customer!
Diana Crane, Massachusetts

These are two of my "kids." The Rottie is Brody, who is ten years old this month. Jed is my five year old Lab. They are my best buddies, happy and healthy. They love their Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Granules. Jed has an old shoulder injury which has resulted in chronic lameness at times. After starting him on the Joint Health Chewables, he is almost NEVER lame, even after a busy day at the farm.
I also use Bug Off Garlic for my horses, with shiny coats and no fly problems as a result.
Thank you for such wonderful products!
Marsha, "Brody," and "Jed" Gadley, Pennsylvania

My chocolate Lab, Molly, who is almost six years old seems better since I have begun giving her the Joint Health Chewables. Her coat is much shinier and her hips are not as stiff and sore after exercising.
Barbara Lill, New York

My 11 year old Collie, Angel, could not walk up the three steps to our home or up the ramp I set up for her. I could not lift her and had difficulty finding neighbors to lift her. It was a nightmare! Her enthusiasm for everything was gone, she slept all day. Within one week of a triple dose of Joint Health Chewables, she was going up stairs. It's been three months now and she prefers the ramp, and she barks to go out for walks (which she had never done!). In fact, I have to drag her home as she wants to walk around town. Neighbors can't believe the difference in her! I never let myself run out of the Joint Health Chewables!
Joan Matlaga, New Jersey

This is Fera, my friend and companion, who is now over ten years of age. When I started her on the Joint Health Chewables a year ago it was because she had such a major joint pain attack that she could not get up off the floor. When she finally stood, she couldn't move and just cried. For immediate relief, she was picked up and carried to the vet and medicated. I refused to have her live life in a drug induced stupor, and I remembered Springtime. She never misses a day, and I give it to her sometimes in her food or sometimes as a treat.
Thank you!
Bonnie Price, California

Finally, now that I know how to attach photos, I wanted to share with you my testimonial. Our precious Golden Retriever, Kobe, had hip surgery when he was only a year old. At that time, he could not even climb onto the back of our SUV without assistance. After much research, I found your wonderful product line. After just a couple of months on Joint Health Chewables, Kobe was a new dog. He just celebrated his eighth birthday and has been jumping in and out of cars for years! He can even jump up onto our new bed which has a pillow top mattress!
We are so very grateful for Springtime putting a "spring" back in Kobe's step seven years ago. We have recommended your products to Kobe's vet and all of our friends and relatives.
Thank you again!
Martine Ritter, New York

Thank you. This is the best joint medication I have ever used for my dogs. Far better than any of the prescriptions! Attached is a photo of one of my older Chocolate Labs, Zoe, comforting Daisy, my 14 year old who is on the Joint Health Chewables.
Two weeks ago, we had a horrific fire at my home and all four of my dogs made it out alive - including Daisy! I am sure the Joint Health Chewables had something to do with the fact that she was able to be coaxed out of the house to safety. What can I say? Thank you!
Beverly Smith, Rhode Island

I have been a customer for over a year now. Enclosed is a photo taken this past December 2008 of our 8 ½ year old, 110 lb. Chesapeake Bay Retriever, "Bruce." You can see he is bouncing with joy chasing snowballs.
Early last year, he had become so stiff and sore most of the day—he just hobbled around and whimpered whenever he tried to get up or lay down. He could no longer go on two-three mile runs with me as he had always done. He stayed in the yard and would start howling when he realized I had left him behind.
A friend (who is a dog trainer) recommended your product, Joint Health Chewables, since it had given her older Shepherd relief from pain. Within a month of starting the tablets (four per day), there was noticeable improvement with Bruce and no sign of the previous pain or discomfort with movement. He began accompanying me on my runs again.
Early this summer, I procrastinated on reordering the chewables on time, and Bruce was without them for two months. All his soreness and stiffness returned and he was back to his miserable state.
Once I started him back on the tablets, it took a month or so for him to resume his bound and "joy." By September 2008, he accompanied me on a week of horse camping in the mountains and logged 50 miles of trotting behind my horse, Shadow. No problems. He is once again my faithful running companion and I don't intend to let him run out of his pills again. Many thanks for your excellent product.
Barbara Sullivan, Washington

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!
Sarah Bugger, New York

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.
Patricia Heezen, North Carolina

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.
Anne Marie Knudsen, California

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


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!
Robin Lawson, Ohio

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.
Eileen Michals, Washington

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.
Dede Miller, Pennsylvania

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!
Leanne Pallazola, Colorado

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.
Debbie Peach, South Carolina

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,
Mary Phillips, Florida

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,

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! :)

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.

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!

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.
Linda Veum, Montana

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.

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.
Wanda Brown, Arizona

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!

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!
Enclosed are photos of Boots, our thirteen year old "Springtime Champion," Lady, his three year old sidekick (also loves her Joint Health Chewables) and me (Joint Health Capsules, Spirulina Tablets, etc.). 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,
April James, Pennsylvania

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!
Dee Knabel, Illinois

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

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.
Susan Richart, New Jersey

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

Our dog, Katy, 11 years old, was getting stiff and limping. We took her several times to the vet because she was having trouble walking and getting up and down the stairs. We sometimes had to carry her up and down the steps. We started her on the Joint Health Chewables. After a short time, she was walking better. Now she's running up and down the stairs and playing vigorously with our new dog, Roger, which is twice her size. Katy is much happier and definitely healthier.

We are shouting your praises to everyone. Our 11 year old Doberman, B.J., was in bad shape before we discovered your amazing products. After only a month on Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables he is like a new dog. We are overwhelmed with gratitude. Next, we will get your products for our horses and ourselves. Thank you so much.

I have 18 dogs here, with quite a few seniors that have come into our rescue and will stay here. It seems they get younger here, their voices louder, their muscles stronger. This year I stocked up on the Longevity, knowing I would be unable to purchase the variety of products I do normally. As I dole out the Joint Health Chewablesto the neediest, and Longevity to everyone, including pups, I see the results of the products are lasting.
Old Miss Dorie, who was highlighted on the website under Joint Health Chewables (the beagle who couldn't get up the stairs) now jumps on her hind legs, runs and plays with the youngsters, and howls louder than I ever heard. Yes, they get younger here! I would never be without these products. Thank you!

I have rescued a ten year old dog, Sugar, who has severe joint problems and a miniscule tear in a tendon in her hind leg which caused her to limp very badly. After speaking with our veterinarian and trying to decide whether to perform surgery, I decided to first try Joint Health Chewables. She is very finicky when it comes to eating, but she loves the Joint Health Chewables and has improved tremendously! I ran out of them after the first order and she started limping badly again. I have since placed another order and don't plan to ever be without them again! Thank you for such great natural products and always shipping my order promptly! Keep up the great work!
Best regards,

One of the agents in the office told me about Joint Health Chewables for dogs. I bought some for my mother's 12 year old Pomeranian because she was having a hard time moving after laying down for a while. Now she runs around like a puppy, dances again and wants to go for walks every time I go into her house.
Wow, what a difference. I am so happy since mother is 89 years old and she got her because she was an older dog and she could not train a puppy. Now we have a trained, puppy-like dog. Joint Health Chewables are great. I now take the people Joint Health Capsules and they work and I give the cats that are getting old the Joint Health Chewables.

My 13 year old Maltese, Cheree, has a lot of issues but is doing great! He has an enlarged heart, reflux, and kidney stones but is full of spunk! My 11 year old, Buttons, has a luxating patella and is doing great even with a murmur. Thank you, Joint Health Chewables.

I wanted to tell you that K-9 Stray saved and adopted out almost 500 dogs in 2009. And these dogs were not all highly social butterflies... some were fostered and rehabbed by volunteers to correct undesired behavior. A lot of high work went into these precious lives.
I think that I told you about my foster dog, Jada. She is maybe a Bohemian Shepherd mix. Nicest dog in the world. She came to me with deteriorated hip and joint issues. It was discovered by a slight lifting of her hind leg, and confirmed by x-ray. I fostered her for a year. In that time, she received Joint Health Chewables every day and saw amazing improvements in her quality of life! She finally found a perfect home for her this past Thanksgiving, where they will care for her "special needs." The family could not believe that Jada had the words "severe hip issues" in her file. They did not notice any favoring of the leg, and Jada pranced around their yard with no problem.
Anyway, Jada went to her new home with Joint Health Chewables that your company donated to us. And I highly recommend that the family stay with that brand of joint help. Your product definitely helped Jada find the perfect home, and experience a more comfortable "best life."
Thanks again for being a supporter of K-9 Stray Rescue League. We appreciate you considering our small kennel worthy of assistance from your products.
Kind Regards,

The Joint Health Chewables for dogs is a fantastic product. I now have a happy Rottweiler that is running with joy! Thank you.

My dog, Lucky, is over 14 years old and has been taking Joint Health Chewables for about four years. Family and friends can't believe how active and full of energy she is. She used to have some back problems but not anymore. I usually am a non-believer when it comes to supplements, but Lucky is a 64 lb Golden mix who loves to still be a part of the family! This summer we will try the Bug Off Garlic Granules instead of using harmful chemicals on her skin.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Halunen, Minnesota

What a difference these Joint Health Chewables have made in my Boxer, Tammy, who was diagnosed with joint issues in her hip! She is doing wonderful, thanks to your awesome product!

I am writing this letter to inform you of how happy I am with your product, Joint Health Chewables. I have an eight year old Yellow Lab named Quincy. He was showing signs of aging. He was slowing down and would limp occasionally. After a few weeks of using your product I saw a tremendous improvement. He regained his bounce and energy. He visits with the local dog pack daily and can run and catch a ball for long periods of time. He acts like a puppy again. He recently had his yearly physical and the veterinarian remarked on how wonderful he looked.
I will always use your products and have referred several friends to your company. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Lore Van Houton and "Quincy," California

Rocket, my 102 lb White German Shepherd was having a hard time getting up and walking. Her left leg was stiff and sometimes painful. I started her on Joint Health Chewables and have seen improvement in just five weeks. Even my veterinarian said to keep her on them. Plus, Rocket loves them. She thinks they are treats! Thank you for such a great product.
Meg Huffines, Tennessee

I have been meaning to write for a while, but I absolutely LOVE your products. My 14 1/2 year old Shepherd Mix, Mugsy, is on Joint Health Chewablesand Fresh Factors. We weaned him off the pain medication for his joint pain and have been able to manage it with mega doses of the supplements. The vet said his tests recently came back perfect for his blood work and urinalysis and she has never seen an older dog that is so healthy. Thanks for your great product! We also used the Bug Off Garlic Granulesthis summer and had very little problems with ticks!
Thanks again and keep up the great work,

I have five dogs of my own - all take Joint Health Chewables. In October, I accepted two foster dogs, Amos and Andy, in my home from a rescue group. The owner of these senior Rotti/Hound mixes had died and they had been left on their own for many months, and been bounced from boarding kennel to boarding kennel. By the time they arrived at my house they were underweight and feeble. I immediately put them on the same Springtime Joint Health Chewables that my own dogs take. Within a few weeks, they were showing remarkable improvement in their ability to get around. Now they take the same long walks as the rest of my pack. The turnaround in their health makes them far more appealing and likely to be adopted.
Thank you from Amos, Andy, and me.
Gail Krueger, Georgia

I am very pleased with Joint Health Chewables for my eleven year old Mini Schnauzer named Ditto. He's been taking them for about two years. He was favoring one leg when I started them but he has no signs of joint issues now.
Genevieve Mann, New York

First of all, let me state that I was a huge skeptic of your product, and now I am a believer. I have owned my Australian Cattle Dog, Sydney (now 10 1/2 years old), since she was five weeks of age.
After running agility for five years, she began to limp at the age of seven. After five months and 15 x-rays, it was determined that she had joint issues in one front leg, both shoulders, two places on her spine, and both hips. One of her hips was so severe that we proceeded with surgery and removed the head of her femur. Unfortunately, four months after surgery she tore her ACL in the same leg. I was told that there was nothing more that could be done for her.
So my search began for a product that might be of benefit to her. And I tried many products. I wanted something that would not result in other symptoms if possible. I read many stories about Springtime products, so I decided to try. Sydney has been on Joint Health Chewablesfor a few years now and I am so thankful for your product. Today, we went to the beach and swam in the bay. She was so happy. I owe it to your product!
Thank you,
Pat and "Sydney" Mather, California

I just wanted to write and tell you about my dog Pinky. She is a two year old, Pitt Bull/Shar Pei mix. She entered my life over a year ago after I lost my dog of 16 years, and made me smile again! About eight months ago she began to favor her left rear leg. I thought she injured it running in the yard, since she is still a puppy and played hard. Some time passed and her leg did not improve, it got much worse and she couldn't put any weight on it at all. She slowed down and was visibly in pain. I took her to our family vet and after an exam and x-rays…a double hip replacement was recommended. Financially, this was not an option for me. I returned home with a prescription for pain, saddened and frustrated that I could do no more for this friend that was there for me when I desperately needed one.
Then one day when I was talking to a friend about Pinky, she told me about Springtime. I picked up the phone, called and talked to one of your helpful representatives. I explained to her my dog's problems and she recommended Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables. The products arrived in two days and I immediately began giving them to her. She loves them, thinks they are treats and gobbles them up!
Well, let me tell you, Pinky has been taking your products for five months now and the change in her is amazing. She runs and jumps like a puppy and puts weight on all four legs once again. She is full of spunk and makes me laugh constantly. In fact, she is no longer taking her prescription pain medication and we have been going for walks again. I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful products that have helped me be the caring friend my puppy deserves!
Thanks again,

I rescued a dog off the streets in Brownsville last year. He was in horrible shape. He had many issues to deal with. For the last few months, he appeared stiff in his hind quarters when he got up from a nap. This increased over a short period of time. X-rays showed no hip issues, so we assumed it was due to a past injury.
My trainer (for behavioral issues) recommended your product, Joint Health Chewables. I was skeptical, as I had used one other product with no visible results. I purchased your product with a great Buy 2 Get 2 Free special. I tripled dosed him for a week, and then went to double dosing for another two weeks. The difference is amazing. He has NO limp or stiffness at all. My husband was so impressed, he asked me to order the Joint Health Capsules for people for his knees. I did today! I do not write testimonials about products, because I'm never that impressed. This time I just had to write. Thank you for a product that exceeds in every area. Amazing!
Thanks!
Anne Redding, Texas

I have already written you about the Joint Health Chewablesthat I have been giving to my eight year old Pomeranian, Foxy. I talked about what a difference they have made in her dog life. She could hardly walk, and I just had to let you know that she has improved even more. Today she actually ran, which she has not done in over a year. I could not believe it. Her energy and spirit are back to like they used to be and she is now a happy dog. Before, she just wanted to lie around because you could tell she was in pain, and now she wants to play and run around. She has a new lease on life, I am so glad I discovered this miracle product for her, and I just wanted to thank you.
I myself just turned 70 in February, so I am going to try your Joint Health Capsules to see if it will help my knees when I go salsa dancing. I will let you know how your product works since it has tremendously helped my Foxy – she has her young spirit back like her mom.

Walter has turned 12 years old this December and, in spite of stiff joints and gray hairs, enjoys life. He gets more opinionated as he gets older. Most of us do…
Your Joint Health Chewables are what keep him going.

I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the results I am seeing after feeding my dog your Joint Health ChewablesMy 13 year old Pit Bull, Psycha, was starting to show signs of joint health issues. She was having trouble jumping up on the bed, she was hesitant to go up and down the stairs without assistance, and she appeared to be very stiff when she walked or got up from a nap.
Before rushing her to the vet for an evaluation, I decided to start her on your Joint Health Chewables. After seven days of being on your product, I am happy to report seeing a remarkable improvement in her mobility! She's up on the bed again and she is maneuvering up and down the stairs without our help. Overall she is much more active. It really put my mind at ease seeing such a remarkable improvement in her health in such a short period of time, by simply giving her two tablets a day as recommended. I am confident her joint health will continue to improve as long as she is on your product so I will be ordering more! Thanks for making a product that works wonders!
Lori Schultz, Texas

My human, Doris, ordered some of your Joint Health Chewablesfor me as I was really having a hard time getting around. When I would lie down I could hardly get back up. I walked slow and just couldn't run and jump on the couch or get into my favorite recliner. At first I didn't like the tablets but my human put a dab of peanut butter on them and who doesn't like peanut butter? I wish you could see me now – I am all over the place. I run down the hall and can jump on the couch again. I am so happy now to be able to get back to feeling like I used to feel. My human is also very happy – in fact she ordered some of the Joint Health Capsules for herself!
Thank you so much,
"Otis" and Doris Stockton, Texas

I have tried your Joint Health Chewableson my Min Pin, Tyke, who had two slipped disks and was in bad shape. I had him in acupuncture, physical therapy, massage... but one month of your product and I saw improvement. Since Tyke has done so well, and was able to go up stairs at Myrtle Beach, everyone else noticed how much better he was, too. My other two Min Pins have now been put on Joint Health ChewablesIt is amazing and now I want to try some of the same for relief on my pain in my joints. Thank you for making my Tyke's life better.
Cyndie Thomson, New York

Thanks for a great product. My 11 year old Aussie mix, Blaine, is like a puppy again. He had been kicked in the back leg by a horse and required extensive surgery, and then three years ago, he tore his ACL in his good leg. I was so scared he would not be able to cope with it. My vet put him on medication, and I immediately started searching for another product to help him. After only a few weeks of Joint Health Chewables, he was off the pain pills and has not needed any since. I have recently started all of my dogs on Fresh Factorsand have noticed an improvement in them. I am truly thankful that I found you and have recommended you to everyone I think your products will benefit.
Lynn Vickers, Georgia

I just wanted to send you a few comments regarding your Joint Health Chewables for dogs. Our Chow Chow, Bo, was having a very tough time of it. She was walking with a limp and had a great deal of trouble getting up and down to a sitting position.We started her on triple dose of your Joint Health Chewablesabout three weeks ago. Now she takes a double dose daily. She is going on walks again! She still has a little trouble getting up and down, but is walking with no limp at all. Our beloved baby will be 13 years old in December. Thank you for adding some quality to her years.

Judi Williams, Texas

My Kuvasz, Ky-Czar, had been on Joint Health Formulaa since he was two years old. I started him on it after he had four major orthopedic surgeries to rebuild his right arm after a horrible accident. I have referred many clients to your product line with outstanding results. Sadly, I had to put down my beautiful Ky-Ky down last Tuesday, August 17, 2010. But I know that without your Joint Health Formula we would not have had almost 11 memorable years with our remarkable Ky. Thanks for a great product line.
Sandy Bos, Illinois

I want to thank you for your wonderful products and share a story with you. We recently adopted Miss Dorie, a ten year old Beagle, on her last day at the animal shelter. For three months she had been there, lying on a cement floor, and her time was up. We took her home and noted that she had severe stiffness in her back legs, and she could hardly walk.
As we discussed ramps and future problems, I started her on a double dose of Joint Health Formula powder. Within three weeks Miss Dorie was running up the hill, jumping on her hind legs, and playing with the other dogs!
I kept her on the Joint Health Formula for a few weeks more. But I thought that perhaps it was just the cold cement floor that caused her issues, not joint problems, since her recovery had been so quick. So I stopped the Joint Health Formula.
Within two weeks poor Miss Dorie had her tail between her legs, couldn't walk or navigate the steps. Worse than she was when we adopted her, maybe because she had begun to feel so much better and then it was gone. What a terrible disappointment to her.
Now the thing that brings me to write you is this. I started her back on the same double dose of Joint Health Formula. Within ONE WEEK Miss Dorie's tail was held high, and she was running like a Beagle should, chasing rabbits UP the hill, howling in glee with the others.
I knew your products are good. I could give testimonials on your products for the others in my ten dog pack. But the change in Miss Dorie in one week's time was phenomenal. She will never be without Joint Health Formula again for the rest of her now happy life. She also gets Bug Off Garlic Granules and Bee Pollen.
Thank you, Springtime! I remain your faithful customer.

My eleven year old Golden, Amigo, had developed a tremor in his rear leg, and it was getting worse. With Fresh Factors it's gone! We're both relieved and delighted! Thank you for a good product!
Amigo and I are currently living in the small Baltic country of Estonia (my son and grandchildren are there). There are thousands of dogs here – mostly German Shepherds and other guard dogs – but, of course, no Springtime, Inc.! …Thus, we have been depending upon kind family and friends in the States to receive them from Springtime and forward to me.
In fact, I recently added Joint Health Formulato his regime. I am in the process of completing a book about life, including six moves, with Amigo, and since he doesn't die in the end, I really need to keep him healthy! I have referred to Springtime in the text, and should the book find a publisher, you would be approached for permission to include the company by name. I hope you will hear from us again!
Enclosed, a photo of a midwinter shaggy-coated Amigo, auxiliary Estonian mail carrier! He insists on carrying packages home, including a recent one with his Fresh Factors, but he dropped the box before I could grab the camera! This will have to do.
I look forward to continuing to use and spread the word about your fine, life-sustaining products.
Sincerely,
Marguerite S. Oetjen, Estonia

I am involved with the rescue and adoption of retired racing Greyhounds. Many of these wonderful dogs come off the track with injuries; some serious. I cannot begin to tell you how impressed I am with the results I have gotten after using your Joint Health Formula for Dogs. It has helped tremendously with the rehabilitation of these injured dogs making more of them available for adoption. Not only has it helped my Greyhounds, I have seen a huge difference in my old Great Danes with joint issues. Thank you very much for such a top quality product and thank you for being such a great group of people to do business with.
Living in Florida is an endless, year round battle with fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, etc. Most of the toxic and dangerous products on the market are useless. I tried the Bug Off Garlic Granules and cannot get over how well it works! Not only does it work, but it enhances the flavor of their food and they love it!
Sincerely,

This photo was taken September, 2010, and Tsunami will be 11 years old in March. Isn't she a beauty? Her first mission after Search and Rescue certification was the World Trade Center in New York City – she never flinched and attacked the job like a pro. We still do little searches because she loves it.
She has joint issues in her left elbow from Lyme disease, but the Joint Health Formula allows her to move fluidly.

I ordered Longevity for my dogs a few months ago. I have three dogs with different issues (ages from three to twelve). My oldest, Sonny, is a 12 yr old Beagle mix with shoulder issues and a growing cyst on one side of his neck. We had the cyst looked at and aspirated by a vet and it was determined to be a fatty deposit. The only problem was that it continued to grow in spite of efforts to control his fat intake. Because of his age, we wanted to avoid having it surgically removed if possible. After about two months on the Longevity, I felt his neck, and surprisingly, the cyst was shrinking! It is now half the size it was before the Longevity. Is it the product? I guess there's no way to be absolutely sure, but I am sure we'll stick with it.
I am happy to report that his fatty cyst is continuing to shrink! I will keep you guys posted and hopefully the next email will be about it being completely gone.
Thanks,
Alison Aughtman and "Sonny," Alabama

I just wanted to drop a line or two and thank you for your wonderful products. I've used your products for over six years and recently started all my dogs on Longevity. I did this due to the spirulina component of the supplement and its tremendous benefits. I take your Spirulina Tablets with excellent results and thought it would also benefit my dogs (German Shepherd, age six, English Setter, age ten, English Setter, age two and Mini Doxie, age two).
They all have great hair coats, but the biggest shock was the attitude and energy change in our ten year old Setter, Mattie. She has always been a "puppy" at heart but had started to slow down. She didn't want anything to do with our youngest Setter or our Doxie pup. After about two months on Longevity, she's now bouncing around and play bowing, trying to entice her house mates to play. It's wonderful to see her so full of herself again. All my friends are aware of your company due to the excellent outcomes I have shared with them. I'm grateful for your products as they allow me to provide the best care for my four-legged family at a very reasonable price.
Sincerely,
Lori Burian, Pennsylvania

I just got back from a follow-up visit to the vet with my cat, Sampson, and wanted to share my appreciation. For the prior five years, this animal had a miserable time with ear infection after ear infection. We have had multiple surgeries, restricted diets, antibiotics by the dozen and most recently this year he was diagnosed with MRSA.
My dog had surgery this year for her elbows and a friend recommended that I start her on the Longevity formula. One day, after a vet appointment with the cat, I wondered if the stuff wouldn't help Sampson. I called your office, spoke with my vet and started the cat on it. He is a new animal. His ears have NEVER looked this good. It's been about seven months now on the Longevity and the vet has been impressed with how his ears look. You can't know how great it is to hear "his ears look so clear and healthy" as opposed to "he has another infection." I never thought I'd hear this! It's so nice to see him comfortable. Thank you so much!
Kristen Carpentier, Vermont

Thank you so much for making Longevity. My older dog, Mia, an eleven year old Terrier mix, was really showing her age. She was limping from a leg injury the vet was uncertain would ever heal. However, after just a few weeks on Longevity (which she loves) I started seeing the puppy return in my dog. She has lost weight, can exercise more, and there is no limp whatsoever. And, here is the real proof. My dog has always had one ear that stays half down. After a few weeks on Longevity I started noticing that both her ears stood straight up. I first wondered what was going on, that Mia looked different; her ears seemed to be quite large. After a few days of this, I actually could feel that the cartilage on her ears was thicker. It is amazing. My sister and friends were laughing a little as she looks like she may take off with the next wind, but I am just thrilled to have my little dog with me as long as possible.
Thanks again, Springtime – keep up the fantastic work!
Your friend and forever customer,
Margaret Cicolello, Florida

Boomer is my Golden Retriever, and his 14th birthday pictures say it all! Longevity has been his "fountain of youth" for the past two years.
At age twelve, his hips were deteriorating due to joint problems. He was on a low dose of a prescription drug and totally collapsed as a side effect from it. I took him off the medication immediately. I was desperate to find him the right supplement that could help his hips.
That's when my dear friend told me about Longevity. I was amazed to start watching the changes in him. He was walking so much better, and not only that, but his coat was turning luxurious again. My new vet is amazed at how healthy he is for his age. All his organs are working great and his heart is strong. Longevity is so complete that it changed his total health, inside and out. I cannot thank you enough, Springtime, for helping my old boy and giving me the peace of mind that I was doing the very best for him. I tell everyone about the wonders of Longevity. Fourteen years ago, he was the Christmas puppy to three adoring children and over the years has been the most wonderful and loyal friend. He deserves the quality of life that he has given back. Longevity has made that possible. Thank you again, Springtime, for loving our animals and making truly good, effective safe products for them.
Thank you!
Patty Cook and "Boomer," Nevada
