Driven by my own desperate research I found I Love a Dog. It opened my eyes to what we are feeding our dogs and how it can and does help. Our nearly 13 yr old Staffy Max was diagnosed with soft cell sarcoma in his front leg in early 2019. We decided not to amputate due to his advanced arthritis. By September that year, our 12.5 yr old Malamute x Husky Gypsy was diagnosed with a pathological fracture in her hind foot, from Osteosarcoma. We decided not to amputate due to advanced hip weakness/arthritis.
I researched every dog diet and supplement there was to help, I also had great advice from a canine nutritionist. I started feeding the dogs a balanced raw diet and included I Love a Dog Miracle Greens, Magic Golds and Mushroom Medley – Immunity in May.
Not treating Max was intense. Every 5 days we went to our amazing vet for bandaging as by approximately mid year the worst happened, his ulcerated leg ruptured. I was told it was unlikely to heal, but it may remodel. It did. Not only did it remodel, the size of his tumour drastically reduced in size. I believe without doubt to have done that his immune system had to be in the best shape it could be. That came down to what he was now eating.
Gypsy we assume healed her fractured foot, she stopped limping, inflammation reduced and she showed no pain for many months. She only had limited medical pain relief at the end of her life, for a dog with Osteosarcoma that is a feat in itself. Again, good health and what she ate supported her body through the fight of her life.
Both dogs lived happy lives, far longer than either prognosis, we believe from good management and diet. They left us in June and July 2020, 2 weeks apart in our arms ?. Their legacy lives on in our Staffy pup Ruger who also is fed all the same supplements from I Love a Dog.”
