Update on Noir... The news isn't good

Noir spent the day at Carolina Veterinary Specialists. She had an ultrasound, blood draw, etc, etc. The diagnosis is that she has end stage cirrhosis of the liver. She could last 3 months, or a year.

I'm devastated. Cannot believe this. Noir has always been happy, healthy, athletic, trim, sweet... I thought she would live to a ripe old age. She isn't quite 8 years old.

It's just too painful for me to think about. I can't face the thought of life without her.

A rough day... for my dog Noir

Sunday morning I noticed my dog Noir looked pregnant. SHe's always been in great shape, and of course is spayed, so this was a shocker. She's nearly 8 years old but still young acting and active.

This morning we took her to our vet, Dr Lisa Shaw at Indian Land Animal Hospital. She did X-rays which were inconclusive, and a blood test which showed elevated liver enzymes. Tomorrow I'll take her to a specialist for an ultrasound.

She's such a sweet, loving, funny, intelligent dog, and of course she's my best friend. Fortunately she still acts like she feels ok. I can't bear the thought of her suffering, or the thought of losing her.

Please say a prayer for her... I hope I'll have good news to share tomorrow.

Renni, a pekinese, is free of allergies and skin problems

My girl Renni is a 10 yrs-old Pekingese. She has been the joy of my life for all these years. Not so pleasant has been her skin condition for the past 8. She was prescribed numerous different pills, topical, medicated shampoos, special foods and injections. Blood and skin tests have been done numerous times, trying to find-out what was wrong with her skin. Nothing ever helped for more than a week or two. She lived in a great discomfort, itching, scratching and biting herself. Along with that Renni developed an allergy 5 yrs ago which progressively turned into a severe condition. For which she was prescribed meds on the top of the meds that she was taking for the skin.

I went in search of the best Vet in Florida who specialized in Infectious Disease. I found one 600 miles away, who comes to that location once a month. We traveled to that particular office to see "THE DOC". He prescribed some different meds, a change in her diet and allergy shots to be given at home under strict regiment. That was 2 months before I started hearing amazing stories about other dogs taking PET RESTORE, and their health improvements. It took me a couple of days to figure-out how to give it to her, because she was refusing it.

Two weeks after taking PET RESTORE the improvement of her skin and fur was so drastic, that I stopped the injections first. Week later after increasing improvements I stopped the pills and that horse shampoo with bad smell. Renni's skin is so healthy now-2 months on PET RESTORE. I do not remember it like that ever. She grew hair on spots that were so abused from biting that I still can't believe it is possible. She is FREE of allergy. She has not been taking anything but Restore for 2 months. I'm so grateful that this product gave her and me normal life again after many years of suffering. No more meds and injections - I can tell she is happy!

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.

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.

Our Scottie, Smudge, is young again

Smudge is young againOur 11 year old Scottish Terrier, Smudge, was having some slowness and a few lumps on her side when we discovered Nussentials' PET RESTORE.

After six weeks of placing two tablespoons a day in her food (with absolutely no reaction to eating it), her lumps (fatty deposits from being older) have gone down by half, and she doesn't appear to be stiff, in fact, we play frisbee every day after her dinnertime for nearly a half hour. It's like she's young again!
