We love this and other products by Zesty Paws BECAUSE IT SAVED OUR DOG! Our Mischka, a rare breed Karelian Bear Dog developed a low hormone thyroid problem. By the time the vet got it under control her immune system was terribly out of whack. The vet was at a loss and didn't know what to do. He kept giving her lotions because she had lost almost all her hair and itched terribly all over. On a 60-pound dog a tube of lotion isn’t going to do much. She had scaly patches all over her that were red and inflamed and itching. She licked herself constantly to try and relieve the problem. Her skin was pink and smelled terrible. Her eyes had glazed over to the point that we thought she had cataracts and we thought we would have to put her down.She was miserable. and had a terrible life-threatening case of Candida. I figured this out by researching the internet. It happens when their digestive system and immune system is whacked out. We tried everything to help her. Finally, I found a sight that suggested a probiotic, turmeric, baths in anti-itch medicated shampoo and then rinsing with apple cider vinegar all over. After 6 months of trying everything and hundreds of dollars in vet bills we decided if this didn't work we would have to put her down. She had lost so much weight she was half her normal size and it was cruel to have her in such miserable shape. We had lost two others dogs in the last year to cancer and didn't want to lose another but we couldn't let her suffer much more.We began by giving her a bath every day and rinsing her in apple cider vinegar. She wasn't happy with us but we kept going. We changed her bedding every week. We should have changed it more but decided to wait and see if this would work. We would scrub her with a soft bath brush to make sure we got all the scales off each time in order to let her skin dry out and the vinegar get to it. We didn't have to worry about hair because it was almost all gone. We never rinsed the vinegar off nor did we dry her afterwards. We just let her run out in the yard to get dry. It was summer so that helped.After the 1st week she was looking better. The 2nd week she got even better. We were giving her the Zesty Paws Turmeric Curcumin Bites, Zesty Paws 5 in 1 Multi-vitamin Bites, Zesty Paws Calming Bites, Zesty Paws Mobility Bites and Zesty Paws Allergy Immune Supplement Bites. We were also giving her a separate probiotic for her digestive system, thyroid pills, Benadryl, and another chondroitin glucosamine pill so we had to buy the pill pockets or she would spit them out. Yes, it was expensive but cheaper than the vet bills. Besides, she is worth every penny.After two weeks we switched her to a bath every week and continued the medications and switching out her bedding. We were seeing a breakthrough. After 5 weeks her beautify black and white hair started growing back in and she was no longer pink all over and itching. She was still pink under her legs so we kept going. After 2 months all the pink was gone her skin was covered with hair and she no longer itched. Her eyes were clear and she began acting like she did when she was 5 years old. She is great now. Her beautiful hair is once again thick, soft and shiny and she has gained back her weight. Oh, I forgot to tell you she is 14 ½ years old. THANK YOU ZESTY PAWS FOR GIVING US BACK OUR BABY!!!!

My husky (Connor) turned 15yrs old on March 12. Two weeks before his birthday I thought I was going to lose him. He had both hips removed as a pup. I always knew that would become an issue in his age so I've had him on supplements for years. But that one day he was screaming in pain and trembling. He COULDN'T get up! He tried so hard but his back legs had gone lame. Shaking and crying I called his vet for an emergency appt. It took 3 of us to slide a comforter under him and carry him to the back of my minivan. At the vet's office they came out and took him inside on a stretcher. Given his age and the severity of pain that he was in I was expecting the vet to tell me to let him cross Rainbow Bridge. Thank God that isn't what happened. It turns out it wasn't his hips. His back is loaded with arthritis. He received a cortisone shot and was put on prescription anti inflammatory meds that he would be on for the rest of his life. This medicine can cause liver damage so he would need to be brought in every 3 months for blood work.Don't get me wrong-I'll do anything for my boy. But in his old age he has an extremely hard time getting in my van. Even with a ramp. So I began to research natural options for pain and inflammation management. That's when I tried Zesty Paws Tumeric Curcumin. It was a game changer. He's able to get up off the floor without pain, he can walk further than before and his overall quality of life is greatly improved. His body may be slowing down but this old boy still has a love for life and light in his eyes. He still beams at me and wags his tail whenever he sees his Momma. I'm hoping to get him to his 16th birthday, then 17th. This product is definitely worth trying and thank goodness it tastes good. His previous supplement was a gross tablet (he had to have 3 daily) that he refused to eat so I had to crush it in his food. These I can just hand him as treats and he gobbles them up.

I have a rescue dog that we adopted as a senior. He has very, very bad arthritis as it is believed he was hit by a car during his life on the streets, and he never received care for the resulting fractures. He was on a therapy plan which included Rimadyl, and some other Rx pain management medication, and the traditional joint supplements. This summer he really started to struggle with his mobility, despite the robust medication and supplementation plan he was on. That is when I decided to try Turmeric. I wanted a supplement that was easy to feed and that wouldn't break the bank. After researching available products and reading reviews, I settled on these Bites. Within a few weeks, I could tell that my dog was feeling better. His mobility improved, and his overall demeanor changed. I could just tell he was more comfortable. He is still receiving his other medication and supplements, as this was an addition to his therapy plan and not a replacement for anything. He has been on this supplement, fed as directed 1x a day for about 6 months now and I am going to keep him on it for the rest of his life. I have recommended it to friends and family, and a few people that I work with in dog rescue that are fostering or adopting senior dogs that have problems with arthritis.Another benefit of this supplement is its anti-cancer properties. My dog is a lab/golden cross, and he has the typical lumps and bumps that the breed gets as they age. Since adding the Turmeric bites to his diet, the lumps have appeared to shrink in size and I haven't noticed any new growths.PS- when I told my vet that I had added this to his care plan, she was very impressed and told me I made a good decision.Attached is a photo of my old man. Adopt- don't shop, and adopt a senior! It will be one of the most rewarding experiences in your life.
