Hoobie's story · Allergies · 2006

“If it sounds too good to be true,
it probably is.”

“That's what I was thinking too,” her letter begins, “until I tried Nzymes.”

The final shot the family sent

“The vets just kept wanting to drown him in antibiotics and steroids and would not consider that their treatment could be contributing to the core problem.”

— K. Greyson, Hoobie's family · Illinois

The trouble started with Parvo, at four weeks old.

Ms. Greyson got Hoobie out of the paper at four weeks old; the sellers told her the mother had died. Within three days she knew why. On day two, a vet said it was probably worms. On day three, Hoobie wouldn't eat or drink and lay listless by the back door, and his skin wouldn't bounce back from a pinch. She rushed him back in and got the real diagnosis: Parvo. He spent the next four days and nights on intravenous antibiotics, and they saved his life.

They also, she believed, severely compromised his GI tract and immune system. "Though they told me I was crazy for suggesting this." For the next three years of his life, Hoobie went through round after round of antibiotic and steroid treatments for his "allergies." By early 2006 he had open bloody sores on his chest and belly, abscesses between his toes, a horrific smelly discharge, and massive hair loss. He was gnawing himself raw. At one point she considered putting him down if she couldn't find anything to relieve his suffering.

The chain, as she traced it
01The rescue
Parvo at four weeks old

Four days and nights of intravenous antibiotics saved his life.

02The hidden cost
The gut paid for it

The good bacteria went down with the bad; his GI tract and immune system came out compromised.

03The label
"Allergies," treated for three years

Sores, abscesses and hair loss surfaced, and antibiotics and steroids kept treating the symptoms.

04The turn
Re-balance the gut.

Ms. Greyson worked at the root instead. The photos on this page are what followed.

She went looking for a fix, ready to make one herself.

By then she had drawn a line. "My dog was at such a painful point, that I was determined to either find a product that would eradicate the damages from antibiotics and steroids for his 'allergies', or make one myself."

She studied the ingredients in the Nzymes products made for people. "I knew that Nzymes had the right stuff." The one thing she wasn't sure of was the amount per pound to use for a dog. Then she read that the products are human-grade, and that settled her plan. She ordered the Healthy-Skin Kit (now called the Skin Rescue Bundle).

When I discovered that Nzymes are human-grade products I decided to take this Nzymes supplementation along with my dog, Hoobie.

What Hoobie's family did

One kit for the dog, and the owner joined in.

The products are human-grade, so Ms. Greyson took the supplementation along with Hoobie

The kit has added two topicals since: Skin Rescue Shampoo, formulated for yeasty skin, and pre-diluted Ox-E Mineral Mist for relief on the spot.

Five weeks in, the camera came back out.

The family photographed Hoobie on February 6, 2006, before the kit, and again five weeks later, on March 15.

Open sores across his chest and belly.

The sores closed, the redness fading, and comfortable enough to roll over and show it.

Happy again, with a luxuriant coat.

By July she was writing to us. "Hoobie still has some scars (bald spots) from where he just gnawed himself senseless with itching, but he looks, smells and feels wonderful. He's happy again, with a luxuriant coat." And her verdict on the skepticism she started with: "Nzymes really works!"

I don't even want to think of what my life would be like without my Hoobie.

From the same letter

Healthy gut flora should not be ignored.

Her letter closed with advice for anyone hearing the same diagnosis: "If you're being told your dog has 'allergies' and needs prednisone or antibiotics, that may very well be true; however maintaining healthy gut flora is essential and should not be ignored. So, try Nzymes. Follow the program. It really works!"

Free consultation

Talk it through with a member of our team.
It's free.

The same small family team that took Ms. Greyson's order in 2006 is a phone call away. Tell us what's going on with your dog's skin, what you've already tried, and how long it's been. We were built for the calls nobody else takes.

From a kit to a bundle

Hoobie's kit grew into this.

The Skin Rescue Bundle
The Skin Rescue Bundle: Sprouted Granules, Bac-Pak Plus, Ox-E Drops, Black Leaf, Skin Rescue Shampoo, and Mineral Mist

Hoobie started on the Healthy-Skin Kit. It has grown since, and today it's the Skin Rescue Bundle: six products that rebuild from within and calm the outside, with an interactive guide and real support included.

She wrote her letter for the owner who thinks it sounds too good to be true.

Ms. Greyson mailed that letter in 2006. The answer to her doubt hasn't changed: a free consultation, a member of our team on the phone, and the 120-Day Worry-Free Guarantee behind every kit.
