Dear Springtime,
Hi, my name is Mary Clements, co-founder of the Ultimate Canines Dog Sport and Comedy Show. We travel throughout the United States and Canada with our rescued performing dogs. We promote rescue dogs, dog nutrition, training and the general health of animals. We have been using your Joint Health Chewables for about a year and are now hooked on your Bug Off Garlic Chewables. We live in Missouri and have a total of 23 dogs, 14 of whom travel with us full-time. Ticks in Missouri are by far the worst I have ever seen. I started the dogs on Bug Off Garlic Chewables about a month before tick season and to my amazement I have not seen a tick. Whoops, I take that back. I did see two crawling around on one of the dogs, but they did not attach. No more Frontline for us - yeah!
Sincerely,
Mary Clements, Missouri

Dear Springtime,
I am truly amazed at how your Bug Off Garlic Chewables have so quickly worked. My dog had fleas so bad. I tried a spot-on flea product on him and it seemed to attract more fleas. I went to the pet store and they gave me another brand, and that didn't work either. I put boric acid on the floor and that didn't work. I tried organic products that didn't work. We would spend hours picking the fleas off Freddie morning and night, only to do it over again the next day. I started searching the internet to see what was out there that was safe to use on Freddie and found your website. I had read that garlic wasn't good for dogs so before I ordered it I called my vet and asked him. He said it was okay to use. We started giving Freddie the Bug Off Garlic Chewables and I keep checking Freddie every morning for fleas and haven't found one. I just had to write you to thank you for your product.

Dear Springtime,
I just want to say I am so happy with the results my nine and a half year old Rotti is having with your products. She has had multiple issues for years, compressed neck discs, bad knee, etc. I have had her on glucosamine/chondroitin for years but decided to try your products after reading the results others were having. She is doing very well with your Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables – I do not expect her to bounce like a puppy with her age and problems – but she is able to do stairs, walks well, and even goes camping with us. And living in Rhode Island, ticks are a BIG issue, especially in my area. Since putting her on Bug Off Garlic Chewables I have not found one tick or flea on her! The great part is I am not putting chemicals in or on her body. THANK YOU for such great products!

Dear Springtime,
I ordered Bug Off Garlic Granules for my dogs, Otis and Forrest, for the first time. I have had a terrible tick problem in the past with my dogs even though they received the 1x a month drops on their coat as recommended by my vet. The drops did not seem to offer any repellent properties because I was daily removing multiple ticks from my pets. I have been amazed that your Bug Off Garlic Granules has been the answer. If your product can deter Eastern North Carolina ticks, I believe it can work anywhere. Thanks for a great product.

Dear Springtime,
Several years ago we had a serious flea problem. We have nine dogs and one cat. Springtime Bug Off Garlic Granules granules for dogs were recommended and we tried it. After using the product for a couple of weeks there were no more fleas to be found anywhere. Even Taz, who has the personality image of Garfield, has benefitted because there are less insects in the yard and no fleas on him. My vet is impressed because without any other flea treatment the kids are clean.
I have also recently noticed that with the latest batch of Bug Off Garlic Granules the kids can hardly wait for their bowls to be put in front of them. Feeding nine at once has become more difficult, but more fun. They all go and lick each other's bowls to make sure there is nothing left behind.
Thank you again,
Eric Engstrom, New Hampshire

Dear Springtime,
I was referred to your company by a friend about a year ago after I told her that all those topical flea treatments made my dog break out with a rash. I have tried them all and she reacts to them all. I was hoping Bug Off Garlic Granules would work. I was amazed at how well it worked! Osa has been flea and tick free ever since - even during my road trip across the southern states last summer. You have a customer for life!
Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
Hello! I have been a customer for almost three years and continue to be very pleased with the Bug Off Garlic Granules granules. My 100 lb German Shepherd, Capone, will be three on April 29th and continues to be bug and flea free!
When he was about a year old, he appeared in your catalog and website; attached is an updated photo of him. He is enjoying the winter time in Ohio in this picture.
In fact, I just placed another order for the Bug Off Garlic Granules granules. Thank you for supplying a wonderful product that is easy to administer and a great way to prevent bugs! I recommend this product to everyone!

Dear Springtime,
I have been using your products for my dog for almost a year. She uses Fresh Factors daily and Bug Off Garlic Granules spring through fall. My holistic vet said Fresh Factors are a good multivitamin. My dog stays flea and tick free using Bug Off Garlic Granules. I have enclosed a picture of my three year old Lab named Lilah. She is in one of the fields that she loves to run in. Now I am confident when we come out of the field she will not be covered in ticks. In the past, if I allowed her in the field, she would come out covered in ticks. Thanks for making an effective alternative to chemical flea and tick protection.

Dear Springtime,
I received my order yesterday, and when I was opening the box, my Akita, Kadan, was standing there trying to sniff inside. I took out a container each of Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules to read the labels, and Kadan would not stop licking the labels. I was amazed because I had been worried that he might not like it. I personally cannot stand the smell of garlic, but the rescue group I work with swears by these two products. Well, I gave him a sprinkle of each in his food as the directions say and he had no problem eating his meals. Amazing!

Dear Springtime,
I started using Bug Off Garlic granules back in the middle of June. My dogs have been bug and flea free since that time. When I sit outside with my five "kids," I am the one bothered by mosquitoes and other bugs, but not the kids! I haven't even had to put a chemical flea treatment on them – this stuff is great! We haven't had to battle with ticks this summer and I really feel that it is keeping them healthier!

Dear Springtime,
Fancy, our 8 year old Yorkie, suffered from flea bites that left her skin raw and bleeding despite everything we tried. Usual flea control methods such as collars and drops produced problems – and didn't seem to bother the fleas.
Then a year ago, Bug Off Garlic Chewables caught our eye in an advertisement. Skeptical, I said, "Probably bogus. But the price is reasonable; let's try it. Nothing else works."
In the year since, no fleas, no scratching, no raw skin. The only side effect is, Fancy's breath can knock a buzzard off of a brick outhouse for a few minutes after her nightly dose of Bug Off Garlic Chewables. Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
It has been at least three months or more and I have to say, the Bug Off Garlic Chewables tablets for dogs is incredible! My husband and I have seen a remarkable difference for both our dogs. Since spring is here, we have not seen a single flea, fly, gnat, mosquito, tick or any other critters hanging around our girls, Gracie and Jayda. No more allergic reactions to gnat bites; no more horse flies biting them on the back, neck, legs and anywhere else they can manage to land. No more ticks sticking around for a snack and as a matter a fact, they don't even come near them!
I've used chemical products on my girls in the past without nearly the same result! While on the chemical brand, Gracie, our yellow girl, always had ticks on her and contracted lyme disease. When I was introduced to your product by a friend who believes very strongly in the holistic care of pets, I had to give it a try. I cannot tell you enough how Bug Off Garlic Chewables has encouraged us in that we are not only giving our dogs a healthy supplement, we are also protecting them from nasty pests and the danger of infections from them! Thank you for a great product! Gracie and Jayda thank you as well! Thank you again!

Dear Springtime,
I have three dogs, Rocky, Duchess, and Angel, and I have been giving them Bug Off Garlic Chewables for over two years, except my oldest, age 13, did not take it. The oldest got ticks, but the other two didn't have any. It works! Now my daughter is giving it to her two dogs. She couldn't believe how it worked! Now all my dogs are using Bug Off Garlic Chewables! Thank you - I've ordered again.

Dear Springtime,
My dog, (APBT) has been on your products for almost six years, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Fresh Factors. My dog, now seven years old, had an injury as a puppy on his hip and at times he needs to take medication, especially in the cold months. But with the Joint Health Chewables, he doesn't need the medication as often which is great, due to side effects with the medication which affects the liver. Now that Spike is seven years old as of February 2009, we hope your products continue helping him. As for the Bug Off Garlic Chewables, I don't see fleas and hardly ever any ticks. With proper bathing and supplements, no bugs.
Thank You,
Nancy Anne Chaban and "Spike," Massachusetts

Dear Springtime,
I'd just like to thank you so much for this product. My nearly two year old yellow Lab lives in our backyard. A few months after he started living out back, we tried things like powdered lime and other methods to try and keep the fleas away. Well, of course, he was allergic to the lime (I think it burned him) and the other flea ridding products didn't work. So, I did some research because I was too scared to try chemical flea treatments after hearing all the horror stories that those poor dogs went through, putting poison directly on their skin, unknowingly like we did with the lime.
When I luckily came upon your site and read all the wonderful things that people were saying, I bought this product and EUREKA! I had my lifetime product! I am always going to get the Bug Off Garlic Chewables from you all! He absolutely LOVES them! Now, when I bathe him, I see no fleas, and the flies don't bother with him anymore. So, he has no more problems with bugs, except those pesky ants that get to his food before he does.
Anyway, I just want to thank you for a wonderful product and you have made my parents and me believers. I told my dad (who said in the beginning that I wasted my money), that Taz won't have any problems with bugs anymore because he "tastes" bad to them and it's a proven fact that I was right and I hope you NEVER stop making this product.
Sincerely,
Myisha and "Taz" Dean, Virginia

Dear Springtime,
The Bug Off Garlic Chewables had an unexpected side benefit. The garlic completely cleared up my dog's "Schnauzer Bumps." I had another dog that suffered for a lifetime with this condition, and no vet could help. My current mixed-breed Schnauzer, Doobie, suffered from the same. After getting on the garlic regimen, his skin cleared, and the condition did not return. Have you had other customers comment on this?
Thanks,
Cheryl Thomas, California

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to say that we switched our rescue dog, Maggie Mae, over to your products (Bug Off Garlic Granules, Bee Pollen, Fresh Factors, and Joint Health Chewables) when we got her in November. Now, she no longer gnaws at her tail (she was eaten up with fleas apparently, when the rescue group got her) and she has lost that fetid breath and body odor! We are beyond thrilled with how well the products work on our dogs and will continue to recommend you to everyone who we come across who has dogs. In fact, my husband, who works in pest control, tells his customers with dogs about your products regularly, even though he could earn a commission for selling a flea job!

Dear Springtime,
I just had to let you know that your Bug Off Garlic Granules and Longevity products are totally awesome. I have a 13 year old Golden Retriever. I started her on Longevity about a year ago. I swear, it took two years off of her. Due to financial reasons, I didn't reorder. K.C. went downhill really fast. At Christmas, I bought her more. It only took about three days for her to feel better. Now she is acting like an 11 year old again. My husband has been skeptical about the benefits of Bug Off Garlic Granules and Longevity, but here in northeastern Pennsylvania, we've had no tick or flea problems and K.C. is living a much more comfortable senior life.
Thank you so much,
Susan Nester, Pennsylvania

Dear Springtime,
I would like to thank you for such great products! Attached is a picture of my two rescue Australian Shepherds, Sam and Shelby. Both dogs were in very poor condition when I got them. They had dry, itchy skin, thin, harsh coats and both were malnourished. Sam suffered from chronic ear infections, and Shelby's eyes were inflamed and always leaking yellow gunk. In addition, Sam has a deteriorating spinal condition and both have hip problems. I immediately put them both on a high quality diet supplemented with Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Granules. Today, skin, ear and eye problems are a thing of the past. Their coats are thick and lustrous. We walk four to six miles a day with the dogs running and jumping over logs and shrubs the whole time and they are ready for more when we get home. At their recent spring physical, my vet had to be reminded that they had any joint problems, because they move so soundly. I have used your products for years and have always been very happy with the results. Thank you for making products that helped to restore these dogs back to good health.
Very sincerely yours,
Kristine Rines, New Hampshire

Dear Springtime,
"Cathy del Mare Adritico" is from Germany and has been a Springtime girl for seven and a half years! Since she arrived as a puppy at nine weeks she has been on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, and Bug Off Garlic Granules. She plays like a puppy, and has had four large litters of gorgeous pups. My ideal Shepherd as it should be.
"Gino von Schlobgabohen" is from Germany. At seven and a half years old is more like a four year old male. He has been a Springtime boy for years on Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables, and Bug Off Garlic Granules. Never has had a flea or tick. He is very ambitious playing with puppies. He does schutzhund therapy and obedience work. He never quits and is our senior breeder male. Top dog! Springtime keeps him healthy and happy.

Dear Springtime,
I have my dog, Giselle (Shepherd/Lab/Rottie/Hound mix) on Fresh Factors and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. They have done wonders with her allergies; her coat is thicker and no more itching, scratching or biting herself. And the biggest thing to me is, no more odor. But my cats just love Fresh Factors. If they hear me shaking the bottle they come running… And my animals' coats are amazing. Thank you for your amazing product, and believe me I have tried a lot with my dog's allergies.

Dear Springtime,
My dog Spike has been on your products for eight years now. He does not need his medicine as much. He never has fleas thanks to Bug Off Garlic Chewables. I recommend your products to my friends all the time. As you can see in the picture he plays like a puppy. You see, he had had an injury when he was a puppy and was not comfortable. Your Joint Health Chewables makes a difference for him, and without all those side effects. Keep up the good work and your prices are reasonable. My other dog, Sadie, is on your products too.

Dear Springtime,
We have three dogs. This is our Irish setter, Copper, who is a legendary tick magnet. We have used two or three different brands of repellent over the years. None of them kept the ticks off. We tried Bug Off Garlic Chewables and "Voila!" the ticks are gone! They don't even get on for a ride into the house. We have quit using the expensive repellents entirely. Bug Off Garlic Chewables is a great product, and being a Connecticut resident I would recommend it to anyone with animals.
Sincerely,
Rita & David Conrad, Connecticut

I have always had great results with your products. I have used them, for quite some time now, and do not ever plan on my dog being without them. I give Tanika, my three year old Cocker Spaniel, Fresh Factors, Bug Off Garlic Chewables, and Spirulina Wafers. I really feel this helps her stay healthy and I am sure it will result in her having a more comfortable and enjoyable life in the years to come. I want to do whatever I can to ensure she is healthy and strong in her senior years. I love her dearly and want her to be with me for many, many years, and I know with your products I can do my part to help this happen. Thank you!

Dear Springtime,
I have two Pembroke Welsh Corgis that just started the Bug Off Garlic Chewables a couple of weeks ago and I notice that they aren't scratching the fleas anymore. It's so nice that you have a healthy way to fight fleas on my dog. I am so tired of spending money on the spot-on treatments that don't really work.

Dear Springtime,
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that you guys are just great! I have been purchasing your Bug Off Garlic Chewables tablets for my dogs, C.T. and Courtney and it works wonders!!! No ticks at all. I just purchased a bottle of Joint Health Chewables for my older dog…My oldest dog, C.T., she will be 11 years old does not act like she is old. She started limping then I started buying Joint Health Chewables and they have done a great job…Thank you so much for being there.

Dear Springtime,
I have had wonderful luck with your products. Many years ago I had a Cocker Spaniel who was developing joint problems in her feet. Her feet were actually turning in, like she was pigeon-toed. A friend told me about Fresh Factors and in one week, her feet were back to normal and she was running around like a puppy. After that I decided to give it to my other two dogs.
Now I am on another set of dogs (everyone else is in heaven), and from the get-go I gave them Fresh Factors. I have two Cockers and a Golden. Recently, I tried Bug Off Garlic Chewables, as I did not like using the chemical for fleas and ticks. Well, it works. I should have known it would. We are flea and tick free! And no more harsh chemicals! I am delighted!
Thank you so much for your wonderful products.

Dear Springtime,
So far I think they are great. One of my Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens, Abby, has had multiple digestive problems, was diagnosed with IBD, and then had a mysterious illness that was never diagnosed even at a top veterinary school. So far she is doing well with the Longevity, Omega 3-6-9, and Bug Off Garlic Chewables. I am very careful what I give them. Her episodes have diminished to only a few a year.

Dear Springtime,
Once again, a product of yours has saved the day, or should I say, saved the dog. Last year our six year old Cocker Spaniel, Tuffy, had a droopy eye and jaw after we applied a well-known flea preventive. I had noticed that every time we applied the flea preventative that Tuffy would be lethargic for several days. However, this time there was real cause for concern. She looked as if she had a stroke. I immediately upped her Fresh Factors and took her to the vet. She lost her blink reflex in her eye, but her jaw droopiness has disappeared. We decided there would be no more flea preventative applications for our baby. So we started her on one Bug Off Garlic Chewables every morning. The results were impressive. No fleas all year and we walk Tuffy often and there are squirrels and chipmunks in our yard. Tuffy is not especially fond of the scent of Bug Off Garlic Chewables, but takes it as long as we have a few Fresh Factors (which she loves) and a treat to follow. Once again, we are extremely happy with your products. I wrote you several years ago about how the Fresh Factors extended our other cocker's life by 4 years. Harley has passed now, but we know the Fresh Factors allowed him to be with us longer than expected.
Very Satisfied customers,
Glenn & Mary Long, Illinois

I just love Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Fresh Factors! I can't believe my Australian Shepherd, Savannah, has no fleas or ticks. Her digestion has improved and her fur is so shiny. My mother purchased these products and I will be a repeat customer.

Dear Springtime,
I just had to write to tell you how pleased I am with your Bug Off Garlic Chewables. I have both my personal dogs and my foster dogs on it and we have yet to see a flea. That's unheard of in Houston in June! My kitchen does tend to smell like an Italian kitchen gone wild with garlic twice a day, but it's a small price to pay. I haven't had to apply spot on flea and tick products at all this summer – a huge savings to my pocketbook…

Dear Springtime,
I wrote to you once before and we want to thank you again. Duffy was getting tick-borne issues about every year until I started using Bug Off Garlic Chewables last year with amazing results. He had a blood test done just recently and it was negative for the first time in about six years. Your products (Fresh Factors, Joint Health Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Chewablesare amazing and Duffy takes them every day.

Dear Springtime,
I started using Bug Off Garlic Granules back in the middle of June. My dogs have been bug and flea free since that time. When I sit outside with my five "kids," I am the one bothered by mosquitoes and other bugs, but not the kids! I haven't even had to put a chemical flea treatment on them – this stuff is great! We haven't had to battle with ticks this summer and I really feel that it is keeping them healthier!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to let you know how great your products are. I have a nine month old West German Shepherd named Ace and he is vibrant and healthy thanks to Springtime, Inc. His breeder recommended your products to me and I have used them since Ace was just a tiny tot at eight weeks old. The results are amazing. He's healthy, happy, and just plain handsome. Your Bug Off Garlic Granules granules keep him repelled against bugs and the Longevity product keeps his health strong and his energy level at its peak. Thank you for providing such terrific products for our "Fur Kids"… Sincerely, Gabrielle Carney, New Jersey

Dear Springtime,
I've been using the combination of Longevity, Omega 3-6-9, and Bug Off Garlic Granules. My five year old Rottie, Amalia, loves it! She has so much energy; she's even picked up speed on the agility course! So much that I have to keep up with her now…This is a great combination and you've got good products. My holistic vet says you're a very reputable company and a lot of her other clients buy your products.
I'm sold! Thanks for making a healthy product that, together with the raw and holistic food I give Amalia, should help her live a good quality life!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your products. I have been using the Bug Off Garlic Granules for several years and all seven of my Borzoi boys are happy and flea free.
We go to a lot of field trials during the fall and winter on the east coast, and I have never had a problem with ticks or fleas since using your wonderful product… Here on the coast of Georgia, fleas were horrible, but not anymore.
Keep up your good work.

Dear Springtime,
I don't remember how I first heard of your products; I think I received a catalog in the mail. Anyway, I was looking for something to protect my dog from fleas and ticks without chemicals and something to address his horrendous allergies. I read the entire dog and people section and though I was intrigued, I thought the products were a bit pricey.
The pet owner who spends the money for your products considers his pet a part of the family. That is the way I consider my dog, Poncho, a 5 year old Lhasa Apso I rescued when he was one year old. In addition to the flea/tick issue, he had the worst allergies ever. The previous allergy season, my poor dog was on daily prescription allergy medicine from May to September. That is entirely too long for a dog to take medication! But the poor baby sneezed constantly, his eyes itched and ran incessantly, his breathing was hindered because his little nose was stopped up, his paws itched all the time, and he itched all over almost like a drug addict. He was just miserable without the medication, which is why I gave it to him like clockwork.
In April 2011, right before the allergy season kicked in, I decided to try the Bug Off Garlic Chewables for the fleas and ticks, Fresh Factors for the allergies, and the Joint Health Chewables for his joints. It is now November, and the allergy season has passed. WOW! What a difference. Poncho did not have to have any prescription allergy medication and this season was extremely bad for allergy sufferers. A couple of days he began to itch pretty badly and I gave him some Benedryl, but that is it. No twice daily prescription medication for seven months! Poncho was happy and I was ecstatic! He now takes Fresh Factors daily and will for the rest of his life.
Though he injured his knee four years ago, you cannot tell by his friskiness and the way he jumps on and off the bed. Poncho's hair is medium length and very interesting to fleas and ticks. He had none this year! Hallelujah! No fleas, no ticks, and no allergy issues!
Thanks for amazing products. Poncho and I are two happy campers! A pic of poncho relaxing during the worst allergy season ever is attached.

Dear Springtime,
I've been giving my dog, Scout, your Bug Off Garlic Chewables for the entire four years I have lived in Ohio. I have never seen a flea on her and she doesn't get mosquito bites and the only two ticks on her jumped off fast because she doesn't taste good (and jumped onto me, but I eat garlic too :). But absolutely no one I have told about your product believes that Bug Off Garlic Chewables is the reason.... Go figure! I'll be using it on her forever. Here she is with her two favorite bunnies. Don't worry... the rabbit does not live in that tiny crate. He's just out for some sunshine... he has the run of the house most of the time. Darby and Scout are best friends.

Dear Springtime,
Kolby is an 80 lb, three year old, intact male, Black and Red, Longhaired German Shepherd. He is a K9 model and his picture appears in three nationally available German Shepherd 2011 calendars, on four different months. He is an active K9 Blood donor, donating a pint every eight weeks. The next time he donates, he will earn his Gallon pin! Kolby has no special diet requirements or issues. He receives minimal vaccines, and no chemical flea or tick treatments. He is on monthly heartworm prevention.
I am a dog groomer and Kolby goes to work with me every day. During flea season he is exposed to fleas from clients' dogs, and some do hop a ride on him. And that's why I'll use the Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Bug Off Garlic Granules along with Brewer's yeast and Garlic. In the summer and fall, I increase the Springtime Garlic.
We also have a swamp in the lower yard. Great breeding ground for ticks. I go over him daily, and last year found three. I DON'T use Frontline. I do have him vaccinated with the Lyme's disease vaccine.
His exercise levels vary from just going out for bathroom breaks and a quick spin around the backyard, to six mile hikes on the local canal towpath and hours of swimming.
Kolby receives compliments on both his behavior and his good looks where ever he goes. I attribute his great health, amazing stamina and gorgeous hair coat and pigment to your products (Bug Off Garlic Chewables, Longevity, Omega 3-6-9 and C-Complex).
I also recommend your products to my friends and clients on a regular basis. Thank you for helping me keep Kolby to be as healthy and happy as possible.

Dear Springtime,
I would like you to know that I have been feeding stray dogs since 2006. I became concerned about one of my strays being affected by ticks and flies. I talked to my vet-tech and she told me to check you out. So I started buying Bug Off Garlic granules for dogs. (Everyone in the house knows I'm working with the dog food because you can smell it throughout the house.) Hehehe! I saw the dog a week and a half later, oh my gosh, he looked like he took off his coat and put on another one. His coat was so shiny. What I could see, no ticks and flies were to be found. Thanks to my vet-tech and you! I've been meaning to write you but, sometimes life happens, we all get busy.
I called this dog Purple because he happened to have a purple collar on. I haven't seen him in about two years. Life is hard without a home. I wasn't taking pictures of the dogs at that time but I do of the dogs I feed now.
"Cans for K-9s" (Joyce's Project) has been going on since 2006. We collect and recycle aluminum cans to help feed homeless and abandoned pets, kind of a twofold project. I have a lot of people that give me cans, that truly helps, God bless them.
I can't help but tell others of the benefits of your product. I told my brother-in-law and his wife about the garlic for their horses and livestock. We may have you some more customers. When I go to the adoption shows I hand out samples of your Bug Off Garlic Chewables for dogs with info on how to use it and where they can get it.
Thanks again,

Dear Springtime,
As the breeder of Labrador Retrievers I look for the best in health and nutrition for my dogs. I prefer to raise my Labradors as naturally as possible and avoid topical applications and oral medications for pest control. Bug Off Garlic granules is a wonderful product. Since adding Bug Off Garlic to my Labradors' diet, I do not have problems with fleas, ticks, or mosquitoes. Thank you, Springtime!

Dear Springtime,
I just wanted to tell you about my wonderful experience with Bug Off Garlic. I have been using it for my dog and my goats since March. The longer my goats and Molly, my dog and besty, are on the Bug Off Garlic the more amazing things I see in their health, and I am just so in love with this stuff!
First, I want to say that I was a little concerned about using it for the goats because we drink the milk. I thought it would have a garlicky taste. Well, to my surprise, it does not have the least little bit of garlic flavor! Even better, my girls (and boys) love it! I first gave it to them free choice alongside their minerals, just so they could get used to the smell and taste. Then I started adding it to their feed to make sure everyone gets some. I bought the Bug Off Garlic for horses and use about a tsp. per 60 pounds.
I haven't had any problems with flies biting them. The numbers of flies in the barn have been drastically reduced to the point that I thought they actually hadn't really arrived yet until I talked to a friend who said otherwise (I then recommended Bug Off Garlic to her!). I usually also have mosquitoes because we have a lot of woods and they are constantly landing on my goats and biting. Not this year!
I found one dead tick so far on one of the goats. I haven't found any ticks or fleas on Molly, which is just amazing to me because we are in a wooded area and in previous years, I have picked ticks off her daily. We also get chigger mites on both the goats and Molly, and I haven't seen any at all on them this year either.
In regard to the goats, I'm noticing how silky their fur is becoming in the adults. All the babies have always been born with very soft fur but it never stayed that way, I just thought that was the way it was. Now all my adults' coarse fur is becoming smooth and silky. I could really go on and on.
Every goat I sold this year has gone home with a recommendation for Bug Off Garlic and a catalog. I really think people need to know that goats can benefit from this too, not just horses and dogs. Thanks so much for this awesome product.
A very happy customer,
Tricia Hoover, Pennsylvania

I haven't found any ticks or fleas on Molly, which is just amazing to me because we are in a wooded area and in previous years, I have picked ticks off her daily. We also get chigger mites on both the goats and Molly, and I haven't seen any at all on them this year either.
In regard to the goats, I'm noticing how silky their fur is becoming in the adults. All the babies have always been born with very soft fur but it never stayed that way, I just thought that was the way it was. Now all my adults' coarse fur is becoming smooth and silky. I could really go on and on.
Every goat I sold this year has gone home with a recommendation for Bug Off Garlic and a catalog. I really think people need to know that goats can benefit from this too, not just horses and dogs. Thanks so much for this awesome product.
A very happy customer,

Dear Springtime,
Rocky was a rescue puppy - a yellow Lab/Golden Retriever with who knows what else mixed in. Our son Josh had just turned 6 years old and this was his first dog, and he was in love with this crazy, hopping fluff ball. We took Rocky to the Vet and had his hips x-rayed to determine why he was hopping and not running or jumping. The vet showed us the x-rays that our puppy's hips were going in and out of joint and thus he was not able to run and jump.
We also had another problem we were very concerned with, and that was that the dog was nice one minute and snapped at Josh the next. Also, we love dogs and have a gentle touch, but we were unable to train this dog. We suspected lead poisoning, because we had caught him playing with some old lead-paint boards in an old garage ion our rented property. That's when a Springtime Inc. magazine showed up in our mailbox. We decided to try the Bug Off Garlic Chewables to help detox the dog with the natural selenium that is found in garlic. We also took the plunge and ordered the Longevity in hopes that it might help his hips get stronger.
I can't tell you exactly how long it took for the Bug Off Garlic Chewables detox to work, because I was just surviving a nipping dog and a crying kid that thought his puppy didn't love him. And, oh boy, had I ever forgotten how much work a puppy is! I was exhausted cleaning up all the time, because the dog was untrainable for ANY command. He would even stand in his water dish and seem to not even realize it. My husband and I have had dogs all our lives and we were dumbfounded, but again this was our son's first dog so we were doing everything we could think of. Then like magic, the dog stopped biting and gained some sense, and, no more mess in the house!
Also, we didn't have fleas. Our neighbor had cats and dogs all over the place, and we were concerned about all the fleas. Well, summer came and summer went and we had no fleas and we did not use any topical or medicine.
Rocky turned 1 year old that March. The snow was mostly melted and we let Rocky out to get some spring air. Well, that dog took off like greased lighting and with such strength that he was pulling Josh (almost 7 years old) behind him. WOW! We never had taught Rocky not to jump, because he couldn't jump due to the hips not being in their sockets. Well…. you guessed it! He can now jump! He is now 5 ½ and weighs in at 80 lbs. of muscle and pure loyalty to our son Josh (now 12 years). I never redid the x-rays because it costs $75 and I can see the results of Longevity and Bug Off Garlic Chewables on this running, jumping, and healthy dog!

Dear Springtime,
I started giving my dog, Wally, Bug Off Garlic Chewables earlier this spring before ticks became an issue. Wally goes everywhere with me. We go on daily trail walks and hikes in areas infested with ticks. I'd previously been using Frontline Plus on him, but it wasn't lasting the 30 days it was supposed to. My vet said in order for it to work well on Wally I'd need to apply a treatment once every two weeks! This simply was not going to work, so I began looking for alternative ways to keep Wally flea and tick free year round. I'm so glad I found Springtime, and since starting Bug Off Garlic Chewables Wally hasn't had any ticks!
As further proof of how well Bug Off Garlic Chewables works, I recently took Wally and my father's two dogs (a Lab and a Yorkie) out for a hike in the woods. Wally gets 6 Bug Off Garlic Chewables a day. The Lab is on Frontline Plus and wears a Scalibor flea & tick collar, and the Yorkie only gets Frontline Plus treatments. Guess which dog had absolutely no ticks when we got home? That's right, Wally was completely tick-free, while both of my dad's dogs had numerous ticks on them. Thanks again for such a great product!
Sincerely,
Jessie Green, Maine

Dear Springtime,
Our family has been using Springtime products for over 20 years, and we keep coming back for more. We swear by the Bug Off Garlic Chewables. They have allowed us to completely move away from harsh chemical flea and tick treatments. We have five dogs in our home, and we haven't had a flea or tick issue. I think my son and I are the only ones who have had a tick on us! Perhaps we should take Bug Off Garlic Chewables, too! We keep trying to get our family and friends to give the pills a try. So many people have been brainwashed into thinking they need to treat their dogs with chemicals to have success, and it's simply not true.
So I am writing to say thanks! Your products have allowed our dogs to live longer, healthier, happier lives and for that we are grateful!

Dear Springtime,
Have I got a Bug Off Garlic story for you! I just got home from the Australian Shepherd Club of America 2014 National Specialty. My two Aussies and I compete in Obedience and Rally; I've used Springtime products for the last 7 years or so with my 11 year old male, Spooky, and started my 5 year old female, Magic, as soon as she came home.
This year's Nationals presented some challenging conditions for folks competing in Obedience and Rally. Our rings were under cover, but the sides were open and the flooring in our building was concrete covered with dirt that had previously been used in livestock stalls with ALL the usual smells and byproducts of stabling animals. But the biggest distraction for most dogs was the FLIES. They were EVERYWHERE - landing on the equipment, buzzing around dogs as they worked, and being a horrible nuisance that caused many normally excellent performing dogs to fail exercises they usually aced under other conditions.
In talking to other handlers after the first couple of pre-trials, I noticed my dogs were not being pestered by all those flies. Flies just plain avoided us - they buzzed around me, but my dogs never had one land on their faces, ears, or anywhere. Other handlers tried using all sorts of fly and bug sprays (which seriously interfered with the utility dogs that had to use their noses for the scent discrimination exercises) but they gave no perceptible relief from the fly attacks. It dawned on me why my dogs weren't bothered by the flies at all - they have been eating the Bug Off Garlic Granules for years as a deterrent to the ticks we always seem to find on our walks along the Chattahoochee River National Park. I'd never dreamed Bug Off Garlic Granules would mean the difference between earning placements in our sports, versus non-qualifying scores due to obnoxious flies bothering dogs as they tried to do their jobs. Thank you, Bug Off Garlic Granules!
Also, with the intense amount of jumping in the top levels of Utility Obedience, Spooky developed back muscle cramps when he was around 7 years old. These reminded my holistic vet of the cramps he'd seen race and cutting horses get. He suggested 325 mg dose of DMG based on Spooky's age and weight, initially formulating a tablet supplement. The tablets worked GREAT, but were really expensive. I noticed the DMG 5,600 for horses in the Springtime catalog, and brought it to his attention - and he suggested giving it a try. One container of DMG for horses has lasted me for more than two years. I believe I have seen DMG tablets advertised on various web sites - but nothing compares to the economics of that whopper horse-sized container in your catalog!

Dear Springtime,
I have been a customer for about 20 years and I rescue Clumber Spaniels. In Maine, fleas and ticks can be a problem, but my dogs have a natural barrier - your Bug Off Garlic Chewables. I make my own dog biscuits weekly and always add Bug Off Garlic Chewables and Vitality. Of course, they take the Fresh Factors and Joint Health Chewables as well. Because they enjoy the garlic biscuits year round, they live protected against bugs. Thank you, Springtime. I am including a picture of my oldest Clumber, Arnie. Today he is 14 years, 9 months… quite exceptional.
