No More Limp for Boyfriend's Dog …

Dear Springtime,

My boyfriend has a Maltese mix called Squeaky, who had a bad rear leg. He told me his vet said a lot of small dogs have a limp like that and it's just something they live with (Huh??!!). Since I've had previous experience with Fresh Factors, I told my boyfriend that I knew how to help his dog.

After about two months feeding Fresh Factors, there was an obvious difference. In the morning, the dog didn't run out of the bedroom holding his leg up every other step. The limp was only obvious at more random steps. After six months, the dog didn't hold the leg up anymore, and the leg was growing in size and strength. After a year, you can't tell the difference in size between the "bad" leg and the good one, and Squeaky had returned to normal mobility.

Thank you for making me look good to the boyfriend! ...and for making such an awesome product.

"…will not run out again!"

Dear Springtime,

I found out about Springtime over 20 years ago. We had a 12-year-old Golden Retriever that had started getting stiff and didn't want to do stairs. Our friends that run a kennel/training center told us about Fresh Factors. After about two weeks, he was like a new dog. He was playful again and went up the stairs like a puppy. He lived until he was 15-years-old.

We still use the Fresh Factors and now, also the Bug Off Garlic Granules and Skin & Coat Oil. I ran out of the Skin & Coat Oil a while back, and my husband asked why the dogs were itching so much. He didn't know I had run out and hadn't ordered more. I will not run out of Skin & Coat Oil again! Thanks for great products.

Dear Springtime,

Nanner and Ghillie have been raised on Fresh Factors for seven and five years respectively. They LOVE their morning "treats."

Much appreciated,

"Both Porkchop and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts…"

Dear Springtime,

After my dog, Annie, had passed away, I was determined that no new dog would enter my life again (I am 72-years-old). Then, one day I discovered that my neighbor's 11-year-old chocolate Lab/Rottie cross, "Porkchop", had taken up residence in one of my sheds. Eventually I determined that Porkchop's owner was fine with that decision, despite Porkchop having the sweetest temperament ever.

Porkchop was in very poor shape. He scratched constantly. He had a major case of dandruff, had several bald patches under his neck and along his underside, and smelled so bad I was reluctant to even touch him.

I began feeding him a good quality dog food and did research on what might be causing his skin condition. My research led me to consider omega oils. A look at your catalog brought Skin & Coat Oil to my attention. I immediately ordered a supply for Porkchop. I also remembered having two jars of Longevity left after Annie's passing, so I started Porkchop on that as well.

It has been about a month and Porkchop is a different dog. His (now) lovely coat is obvious and he now has that good dog smell. His dandruff is gone and his bald spots no longer look inflamed, and are filling in. His color has deepened to a dark brown and all of the light brown dry areas have disappeared. He has a nice "apartment" in my shed, which he truly enjoys. He greets me in the morning with leaps and jumps as if he were a young dog.

I would also like to say that the Longevity and Fresh Factors have helped maintain his normal mobility. I also am giving him your Bug Off Garlic Chewables in anticipation of the coming bug season. Both Porkchop and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

And, dare I tell you this? Skin & Coat Oil tastes grand. I take some each day as I dole out Porkchop's measure. I honestly think it has helped me as well. And, unless I begin to grow hair on my chest, I intend to make it a permanent addition to my daily regimen.

Once again, a very sincere thanks from a longtime customer,

Great for Restoring Coat after Whelping!

Dear Springtime,

Hello There! It's me again, Sandy Stokes of Red Barn Ranch and Labradors, LLC. I'm a long-time user of Bug Off Garlic and occasionally use other of your fine products. Recently I tried one of your new products, and it will now be a regular part of my feeding program.

My female Labradors always start to look a little rough after whelping and raising a litter of puppies. Our girl, Tilly, had puppies in May, and by 7 weeks post-whelping, her coat started to thin. I've been looking for a "miracle" product that would help to restore my girl's healthy, shiny coat. So, when I read about your Skin & Coat Oil, I just had to give it a try.

I'm amazed at how quickly the addition of Skin & Coat Oil made a difference in Tilly's condition. It took just one week for Tilly's coat to begin to fill in and return to a beautiful gloss.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your Skin & Coat Oil "Super Seven" Oil Formula. Tilly says "thanks" too!

Karin has been using Springtime products since 1995.

Dear Springtime,

Skin & Coat Oil has helped my old cat, Clarence, be more comfortable. After doing a little research, I found that some older cats can do well on a high fat, high protein, low carb diet. So I started adding Skin & Coat Oil to his canned food, twice a day.

Over the past year or so that he has been on it, Clarence has gained weight, and he has maintained healthy vision (I had thought at one-point last year that he had gone blind). He is 15-20 years old, maybe older. I will keep him on this for the rest of his life.

I have been using your products since 1995, when a guy named Fred Kimball recommended your products to me. Thank you for yet another great product!

Two Week Turnaround for Rescue Puppy

Dear Springtime,

I have a rescue Pitbull/Boxer mix that I got when he was only 4 weeks old and on death's door. The woman that I got him from was headed for the dumpster with this puppy in the box she was holding, saying he wasn't worth the time anyway. I couldn't let this happen, obviously, so I scooped him up and did my best to save his life that he hadn't even begun to live yet.

I work in my local animal rescue as a foster coordinator, so working with sick puppies is nothing out of the norm for me. I started treating this puppy for all of his severe problems. We almost lost him many times. My plan was to get him better and then find him a forever home through the rescue I work at, but he took so much work to keep alive that he ended up winning us over with his amazing spirit, infectious smile, and will to live! We named him Banks.

When I first started treating Banks, he had issues that were so bad that he had very thin, patchy hair, he could hardly walk, and his belly was so very bloated. I decided I had to give him some sort of supplement in addition to the food he was on to really set him up for success.

I started feeding Banks your Fresh Factors when he turned about 6 weeks old and could finally eat solid food. I started with the maximum dose because I knew he needed anything he could get to help him. In just two weeks, I couldn't believe the improvement! His hair started growing back and he finally maintained a normal physical well-being--no more rounded belly! To my amazement, we discovered Banks has a beautiful dark brindle coat, something we could never tell because his coat was in such bad shape when we first got him. He now had energy like never before and was finally starting to act like a real puppy. I cried tears of joy. Thank you for all you do,

Jill and "Banks" Chubbuck, Washington

"We've taken to calling them miracle pills…"

Dear Springtime,

My mom uses Fresh Factors for her 14-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Rusty. Before they started on this, they had taken him to the vet because he was moving slow and clearly in a lot of discomfort. Rusty had previously had a stroke and it left his head permanently cocked at an angle. The vet had recommended putting him down, but my mom and her husband decided to try a few things to see if they could improve his quality of life.

Well, they tried your Fresh Factors. Not long after, he was feeling better and moving around better, getting up off the floor easier, eating more. All in all, Rusty's health was noticeably improving.

Fast-forward a few months and here he is a photo of Rusty now. Hard to believe this is the same dog, now rolling around on the ground, tail wagging.

Since then, my sister has bought them for her dog and noticed his dry skin and itchiness reduced drastically. We've taken to calling them miracle pills, and I'm about to start my 5-year-old Greyhound on them because I want him to live a long and healthy life!

Best Regards,
Garret Archer

"She doesn't itch anymore and I don't have to give her any allergy medications at all."

Dear Springtime,

I have used your products for many, many years and recommend them to people often, especially clients at the Vet's office I work at part-time.

I rescued an English bulldog, Moosa, from our local shelter. She was taken from a drug raid. Her skin was horrible & both of her hips are out of the sockets. I put her on your Joint Health Formula as all of my dogs are on, and put her on your Skin & Coat Oil. After about a month, her skin looked beautiful, smooth and shiny, and it no longer smelled. She doesn't itch anymore. Even the groomer, where I take her for a bath once a month, asked me what I did!

I just wanted to thank you again for your products. They are amazing.

"We will definitely be customers for life."

"He is now beautiful and his coat shines!"

Dear Springtime,

I have been using Skin & Coat Oil on my black Lab. I just ordered more. My dog has seasonal discomfort, his coat was dull and he's prone to dandruff. The Skin & Coat Oil has changed that. He is now beautiful and his coat shines! Attached is a picture of my handsome boy, Judd. Not just a great dog, Judd is also my Service Dog from PAWS with a cause. So he works! He goes everywhere with me.
Thank you!

Springtime does wonders even for wildlife...

Dear Springtime,

My name is Kara Chester and I am one of the Animal Caretakers here at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary in Red Lodge, MT. We have been using some of your products for over a year now. The products that we use every day are the Fresh Factors and Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables. We currently have two Coyotes, two Red Foxes, and one Grey Wolf and all of them are on Fresh Factors. Apache, our geriatric Grey Wolf, receives the Fresh Factors along with the Advanced Hip & Joint Chewables every day with her meal.

The wildlife surely does appreciate it. Thanks and have a great day!
