10 year old border collie returns to agility

Brewster, our 10 year old Border Collie, has been trained and performing agility jumps since he was a pup. In the last year, as a large dog (50+ lbs.) he has developed some arthritis in his hips, the vet says due to age and his athletic life.

His symptoms were hard to rise from lying down while on a smooth tile floor, and after 2 or 3 jumps on the hurdles, he would drag his back feet and knock the hurdle over.

We started him on Pet Restore and one pill a day of Run. After only a few days, his energy activity level picked up (if you can believe a Border can have an increased level) and he was taking his daily jump routine making 10 – 15 jumps with no problem or fatigue. He has also become more lively, such as rising in the morning and running for a toy to fetch with, similar to the way he behaved as a young dog.

The Pet Restore and limited Run tablets have really worked with him. Thanks for giving us our family athlete back!!

11 year old black lab with arthritis is like a puppy again

Our dog, Amore, is an 11 year old Black Lab. She has been diagnosed with arthritis in her hind leg which causes her to limp.

Instead of giving her the pain medication that the vet prescribed my wife thought that PET RESTORE might help her. My wife and I were taking PET RESTORE for shoulder joint pain.
Miraculously, when the dog took the PET RESTORE she stopped limping and actually acted like a puppy again.

What is also very fascinating is animals do not have a placebo effect. A placebo is a substance containing no medication and given to reinforce a person’s expectation that they will feel better. In my dog’s case the PET RESTORE works because it really works not because the dog just thinks it is going to work.

That was all I needed to convince me of how great PET RESTORE really is.

Claudia, a dachshund with a bad back helped with PET RESTORE

I have a 14 year old dachshund named Claudia. Last December, she herniated a disc (common in that breed), was in terrible pain, and could barely walk. The vet had given us a pain medication for a week and veterinary glucosamine and chondroiten.

Nothing seemed to help. The vet felt she was too old for surgery and would not survive it. I was panicking that I would need to euthanize her as I could not bear to see her suffer. Then I heard someone say how much Nussentials’ PET RESTORE was helping their dog, especially with inflammatory issues. I put my "baby" on the PET RESTORE. Within days she was walking easier. Her back legs started to support her.


Now, 9 months later, she is still with us, taking stairs, running around like a puppy. I am so grateful that this product not only relieved her pain and suffering, but has given us longer time with her. She is truly a joy in our lives.

Senior dogs with allergies and joint pain

Cody is a rat terrier – corgi mix. He is 12 years old. He had allergies very bad to some type of weed or grass that comes out from July till Oct. He was put on Prednisone for his itching. This drug destroyed his liver. We went to another vet who helped him , but they put him on another drug that he would have to be on the rest of his life. I know MORE can help with liver disease, so I have given Cody 1 scoop once a day since June and he has no trouble with his liver or allergies, and he is not taking any drugs.

I have noticed a cloudiness in Cody's eyes, probably the start of cataracts. I started giving him 1 tsp of PET RESTORE once a day. His eyes have cleared by 60% and he has only been on it a month.

I have an Australian Shepherd, Teddy Bear, who's love in life is herding livestock. He was run over by a car when he was 1 year old. Now that he is 11 he was unable to lift his hind end without A LOT of pain. His herding days were over. He had little spirit left as this was what he lived for. We started him on RUN. After a week Teddy Bear was out playing with our other kids and was again doing what he lived for and LOVED! Herding the cattle.
