Testimonial Letters

The following are actual letters received from our clients:

• I have a 6 year old Australian Cattle Dog who was diagnosed with advanced Spondylosis about 6 months ago. She was in a lot of pain when standing up from sleeping or after any activity. She was unable to jump on to her favorite sleeping spot (my bed). Normally a very good natured dog, I noticed that she was keeping more to herself and looking very strained and tired. I tried your TRI-ACTA on the recommendation of a friend and the results have been remarkable. She has not limped or whimpered for 5 months and her temperament is back to being interactive, bossy and good natured and also back to sleeping in her favorite spot. I was not expecting much but was prepared to try anything before having to resort to pain killers.

  We were incredibly lucky to stumble across your product right away.

  Thank you from Gerdy and Sandra

• Dear Mr. Brooks,

  I wanted to relay to you and your company how pleased I am with your TRI-ACTA formulation for dogs and cats.

  I was offered a free sample at the All About Pets show in London. I chose two dogs I thought might benefit the most, if it worked. These are my experiences.

  "Rocket" is a retired multi- Best In Show winning show dog, who achieved his pinnacle of success in 1998, when he rated #1 miniature schnauzer in Canada. During his show career, lived with and stood as stud at his breeder's. In 2001, on of his co-owners re-claimed him. In 2002 we began to notice signs of neurological impairment, affecting his back end. Alternately treated for short terms with Dexasono, and Metacam, the dogs condition continued deteriorating rapidly. X-rays indicated that several years earlier the dog had incurred an injury which, untreated, resulted in Degenerative Disc Disease. We were concerned the dog would have to be euthanised if pain control was not found. I decided he was trial #1.

  "Tailr" is my stepfather’s dog. She was diagnosed with bi-lateral Legges Perthes Disease, and had surgery on both hip joints, removing the ball joints (July and November 2002). The vets predicted 6 months to 1 year recovery per hip. I decided that she would be Trial #2.

  Both dogs were started on the same day, receiving "loading" doses, then placed on maintenance TRI-ACTA doses, sprinkled on their morning feeds.

  To state my amazement at seeing Rocket "popping wheelies" and Tailr jumping up and down to get attention within days is understating the case. I watched years peel off Rocket's demeanor, and Tailr is once again the playful pup trailing my stepfather everywhere.

  I have recommended the product to several other individuals, including my veterinarians. I will continue to use this product. If you know who passed out the samples that day in London, give him my thanks!

  Best wishes to you and your company, as you continue your endeavours.

  Regards,

  Tracy H.

• Dear John,

  I just wanted to put down in writing how pleased I am with Jackson’s progress to date.

  As you know, Jackson was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at seven months of age. At that time, he had difficulty rising, going up stairs or running and was in significant pain. Dr. Taylor hoped that Jackson might be a candidate for a triple pelvic osteotomy and referred us to the University of Guelph for an assessment. We were greatly disappointed that his condition was too severe for him to be a candidate for that surgery. It appeared our only choice was to consider total hip replacement surgery when he had matured sufficiently.

  On your advice, I asked the orthopedic surgeon if we should give Jackson TRI-ACTA. He noted that while he could not guarantee it would help, he said, "it definitely would not hurt."

  We administered the TRI-ACTA to Jackson at the maximum range of the recommended dosage. After about 3 weeks, we stopped giving him Meloxicam. He has not needed it since. We also resumed walking him a minimum of 3/4 an hour a day and in the warm weather had him swim at least 10 minutes each day. We made sure his weight remained trim.

  Jackson is now 18 months old and extremely active. Most people would not notice anything unusual about this dog, because I am always looking for signs. I do notice on occasion, a sign of slight stiffness or of him wanting to protect his hind quarters when "rough Housing" with other dogs. I suspect I let him exercise more and at a higher impact level than the surgeon would have wanted; but he really enjoys it.

  Our good friends have a 6 year old Chow/Rottweiller. Tess has hip dysplasia as well as arthritis in a front leg. She is not a candidate for hip replacement surgery. Her condition had deteriorated this past summer to the point where she no longer wanted to go for a walk, had considerable difficulty in rising and appeared to be quite sore. At our urging they began giving Tess TRI-ACTA 6 months ago. Her improvement, although gradual in coming, is significant. She now looks forward to her walks, gets up with greater ease and no longer requires Bufferin for pain. They, like us are convinced that much of our pets' improvement is attributed to TRI-ACTA.

  Thanks for steering me towards this product and also the genuine interest you have shown in Jackson's progress.

  Sincerely,

  Alan L.

• John,

  My dog, Sasha, has now been on TRI-ACTA since you so kindly gave me advice back in April. I wanted you to know that her legs have improved so enormously, it is unlikely that she will need either operated on. She has been off all pain-killers for a number of months now and is running around with the other dogs as happy as can be!

  It is a great product and I have been recommending TRI-ACTA to a number of people who have dogs in a similar situation to Sasha's.

  Again, from both of us, our thanks.
