A rescued Bichon Frise, hours from a kill shelter, spent years labeled "allergic to everything." The vet knew his prescriptions by heart. Then eleven days in February changed the whole story.

“My bathroom was filled with potions and medicines that would merely treat the symptoms, but never resolve the problem that caused so much suffering for this poor guy.”
Yoshie was rescued eight years before this story was written. The people who had him wanted an Australian Dingo instead, and he was within hours of being taken to a kill shelter when Cheryl's family took him home. "He has given us years of love and sweetness that we cherish."
But Yoshie always carried the "allergies" label, and it got heavier as he aged. One flea, one flea-and-tick preventative, one meal of poor-quality food, and he suffered terribly. The family lives by a river, with oaks, maples, dogwoods, and thousands of weeds, and Yoshie romps through all of it like his big foster brothers and sisters. Each romp could end with him scratching, chewing, and bleeding. His ears filled with thick dark brown gunk. His skin went raw and red. His eyes clouded and drained.
"We took him to the vet so many times they knew exactly what to prescribe and the dosages as we walked through the door." The medicines treated symptoms and the symptoms came back, over and over. Yoshie lived on children's Benadryl and a mound of medications until they pretty much just stopped working. The money spent on recurring visits and refills, Cheryl says, was unbelievable.
Then his groomer, who owns the pet boutique where Cheryl buys his food, told her about Nzymes and said: call them. Cheryl called and reached Connie, who "through her great knowledge and caring patience got me through all my worries and fears." The complete program went out, and Cheryl didn't wait for the box: she switched Yoshie onto the recommended food and treats first, before the products even arrived.
"Literally within days, the improvement was amazing. Not even with the veterinary medicines did I see such an improvement so quickly."
Cheryl photographed the turn as it happened. The dates are the camera's own stamps.

Where it started: raw, red, and bleeding through the curls.

The worst of it, in his cone.

Same day, after care: the skin drying and settling down.

Valentine's Day: calm, clear, and on his way.
And the story didn't stop at February. Nearly two years later, on November 30, 2013, Cheryl took the photo at the top of this page: a cloud of white curls, nose to nose with his mom.
The story came to us as a letter in December 2013, with an update the following June. Lightly trimmed.
“I also bought the recommended food and treats for Yoshie and had him started on those even before the Nzymes products arrived. I ordered the recommended shampoos and bathed Yoshie as the program instructs. As the pictures show, Yoshie responded so beautifully and amazingly that my husband and I call it ‘Yoshie's Magic Elixirs.’
Yoshie will always be on Nzymes simply because his damaged system is subject to so many allergies and sensitivities, but it is so worth it to us.”
“Just want to let you know Yoshie is still doing so very well, but is in need of more of his body-saving miracle of Nzymes please. It is truly a marvel at how it helps him. I have recommended your products so many times, but now I have to say with renewed enthusiasm!”
There is NOTHING like this product that I have seen ever work so completely and naturally… this will be the last product you will ever need!

Cheryl kept Yoshie on his program for good, by choice: a rescued dog with a sensitive system, living his best life on a river full of triggers. The foundation stays; the suffering doesn't. What ongoing support looks like for your dog is exactly the kind of question our team walks through in a consultation.
Cheryl called with worries and fears, and a member of our team walked her through all of them. That's still how it works. Tell us what you're seeing, and we'll tell you honestly if this is the right fit. The consultation is a scheduled half hour, it's free, and it always will be.
The program Cheryl ordered in 2012 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. The food change that Cheryl made first is still step one: see our recommended foods list →
