Seven years ago I adopted a 4yr old cat by
the name of Elvis, from the Ontario Humane Society. While
in the shelter (although a vaccinated cat surrendered to
the shelter by his owners) he contracted feline viral rhinotracheitis
and within three days of coming home he had developed full
blown pnuemonia. It took several months of veterinary care
and antibiotics, but Elvis recovered fully. However, he
was left with a chronic upper respiratory weakness and has
small flare ups from time to time. A year and a half ago,
Elvis succumbed to another full blown attack of FVR >>
he went missing for five days and some local children found
him and brought him home ..... close to death.
The vet treated him initially but then recommended
that I euthanize him because she said he wasn't going to
recover and had developed liver failure from not eating
while being too sick to do so. I went to visit him to say
goodbye and elected to bring him home .... "at least
for a day". Having had 14yrs past experience, working
in the veterinary field, I knew in my heart that he didn't
have liver failure yet, but rather, had "fatty liver"
from anorexia And I knew that I could get him to eat again
and turn the corner back to health. But what to do about
this chronic infection that was threatening his life?? Sure,
antibiotics would clear up this attack, and they did, and
he did recover ..... but he can't take antibiotics for the
rest of his life, and I worried about when the next flare
up would be, how severe would it be, and could he survive
another serious attack.
That's when I heard about your product. A friend
heard an interview on CBC Radio and ordered some for her cats who also have chronic upper respiratory problems,
and she told me about it. I immediately ordered some for
Elvis. To make a long story short >> Elvis is still
with me a year and a half after his near death experience
with FVR, and despite the vet declaring that he would not
survive and should be euthanized. He just celebrated his
11th birthday on December 22, 2004. Medi-Paws has kept the
chronic upper respiratory infection under control. Elvis
no longer sneezes constantly or suffers from the ongoing
congestion that used to be a normal part of his life. And
he isn't just 'surviving' either > he looks great and
he feels great. So great in fact, that he has returned to
his career as a 'working cat' Just yesterday he worked on
a television show!

Our five-year old Pomeranian, Abby, began
losing her hair in June, 2003. A number of medications were
administered in an attempt to re-grow her hair. None were
effective and, in fact, Abby continued to lose her hair
in alarming amounts. We placed her on Medi-Paws in October,
2003, and within two weeks, her hair loss stopped. Four
months later, Abby has a full coat of thick hair.

Melanie,
Pugsley is an elderly pug who apart from being pretty much
deaf and blind has been obviously troubled recently with
stiffness in the joints. Pugs are not great walkers but
even so it was becoming tough to get her on the move. This
in only about a month has brought about quite an objective
improvement in her quality of life. She is bright eyed and
alert and her coat is now improving. Mainly though its that
she is much more active and wants to walk again and sniff
all the mysteries that dogs love to pursue. I perhaps need
not add that it pleases me immensly that her declining years
may have been lightened by regular use.
Thanks so much,
Geoffry R.,

Dear Melanie,
We have had our dog "Hunter"( a Rott/Shepard cross)
on this since June 20/04,and we have already noticed
a difference in him.
While walking
with my husband one winter morning,they both slipped on
the ice and fell,--- Hunter tore ligaments in his knee on
the Rt. hind leg.The Vet put him on anti-inflammatory's.They
did nothing.They then suggested that he have surgery.On
April 29/03 he had his surgery.Once he was through his convalesence
period and began walking again,we noticed he started limping
again.We thought either the rod or the pins were dislodged.After
a few x-rays, the Vet told us everything was in place, but,
he suspected torn cartilage.Once again on May 18/04, he
was operated on to repair the torn cartilage.The Vet then
suggested that we put him on Glucosamine Sulfate pills because
he also has arthritis in his hip.Instead, we decided to
try the Medi-paws.He does not limp anymore, in fact, you
wouldn't even know that he had surgery,to look at him.
We even had the man that baths him, ask us what we were
doing because his coat is shinier and softer, and a neighbor
lady (who has dogs) asked us the same thing because she
noticed his coat was shinier.
