Cody's story · Arthritis · 2015

“After a week on the product, I canceled the euthanasia date.” Cody lived another eight years.

Cody was a four-year-old, 135-pound Great Dane so frail with arthritis that she could hardly walk, and her owner could not lift her. On a Tuesday, Linda Arndt booked the appointment to put her to sleep that Saturday. Linda went on to become one of the best-known canine nutrition consultants in the country; this was the first time she ever used Nzymes.

“Within two days I recognized a difference in her.
Within 4 days she was up and walking on her own.”

– Linda Arndt, canine nutrition consultant

She had set the date for Saturday.

"The very first time I used the Nzymes Granules was with a 4-year-old Dane. She was so frail from arthritis so serious that I actually decided to set up an appointment to have her put to sleep. At the time, she could hardly walk and I was not able to lift a 135 lb. dog. This was a Tuesday and I set the appointment for the following Saturday."

"Later that day I went over to Grays boarding kennel to pick up my dog food order and told Jane about my girl and her problems. She said she had received something in the mail that day that is supposed to help pets with joint problems. Later, I called and ordered some."

Cody's situation
Great Dane, 4 years old, 135 pounds
Arthritis so severe she could hardly walk
Euthanasia booked Tuesday for Saturday
Sprouted Granules started that week
Day 2: a difference. Day 4: up and walking on her own
Lived 8 more years, appearing pain-free

Four days later she was up on her own.

"I postponed Cody's euthanasia date and started her on the Nzymes Sprouted Granules formula. Within two days I recognized a difference in her. Within 4 days she was up and walking on her own. After a week on the product, I canceled the euthanasia date."

"Cody lived an additional 8 years, appearing to be pain-free. She died when she jumped a 6 ft chain link fence and hung up on the top gate. An infection set in and I had to put her to sleep. She was the equivalent of 120 years old in human years. That was my first-time experience with the powerful natural formula found in Nzymes and that is why I am sold on your product. For the last 15 years, I have used it with all my pets."

The first of many.

Linda Arndt, the Great Dane Lady, went on to use Nzymes with every dog she owned and recommended it to the thousands of owners she helped through her feeding programs; her site, GreatDaneLady.com, is still the best place to read them. Cody was where it started.

We have heard several other "put the dog down" recommendations over the years where the family chose to try Nzymes first, and comfortable mobility came back. The longest-lived example is our own: Biscut, the dog Nzymes was founded for, who lived to nineteen and a half. If your dog is where Cody was, book a free consultation before the appointment; diet is the first thing we go over, starting with our recommended foods guide.

What Linda used

Sprouted Granules, started the week of the appointment.

Today we pair the Granules with Antioxidant Treats as the Core Foundation: the same nutrition in two forms, one in the bowl and one by hand. For a giant breed, the Granules carry the dose.

Cody's story is shared as Linda Arndt wrote it. It's one dog's experience, not a guaranteed result and not a substitute for veterinary care. Nzymes products are nutrition that supports your dog's own body, not a treatment for arthritis, disc disease, or any disease. Never stop or change a prescribed medication without your vet. Every dog is different and individual results may vary.
