“Seriously, this was a different dog!” Moving freely in two weeks, running in two months.

It came on suddenly, and it came on fast.

"This past February, Lily, my seven-year-old Labrador mix, began showing signs of what I thought might be hip dysplasia. We'd always expected she would have hip issues from how she carried herself and sat when she was young. She ran with both back legs together, more like a hop; however, it never slowed her down."

"The recent issues came on very suddenly. Lily started trekking with her head down and not wanting to go up or down the steps. She could barely make it across the linoleum floor without her legs paddling out from under her."

"I went online and googled 'Hip Dysplasia in Labs' and found Nzymes.com. After reading the stories, I thought I'd give it a try before spending a ton of money at the vet."

She doubled up for two weeks and saw it in the first.

"So finally, we ordered the Antioxidant Treats and doubled up for two weeks. I was thrilled to see Lily feeling better within the first week."

"We take both our dogs for runs out in the desert. I ride a Rhino while Lily stays close to me, and Meg follows her nose. Recently, I had to lift Lily into the back of the 4-wheeler instead of letting her run with her buddy Meg. After a few weeks of the Antioxidant Treats, she was feeling more like her old self and moving much more freely."

Two months in, a different dog.

"After a couple of months of adding Treats to her daily diet, Lily seemed to be in better shape than ever. Seriously, this was a different dog! Now for the first time in her life, we can watch Lily run using her back legs properly. Not all the time, but mostly when she slows down to a very fast walk."

"Lily has always been a bit shy around other dogs, and either stayed close to me or Meg. It never dawned on me that she was insecure, until after she became this new Super Dog. Now she runs way ahead and goes off trail through the brush, which she never did before. She's always been very energetic, but now with a new-found confidence as well."

Then Meg, the "phenomenal" bird dog, got some too.

"I told my husband that we should be giving his dog Meg the Treats, as it would help her with her stiffness. But no, he wasn't interested. My husband's dog, Meg, is a black Labrador Retriever and, as he always says, a 'phenomenal' bird dog. She's now pushing 11 and really slowing down. This season, when they come home from hunting, Meg was so tired and worn out. Truly, Meg lives for the chase, but now she comes home and passes out. When she gets up, she looks like an old gal with the aches and pains of arthritis."

"I finally convinced my husband to please let me start giving her some of Lily's Treats. What a difference it's made in just a few short weeks. Now he blames me for not being able to keep up with his dog! Her coat shines like it did when she was younger. I'm so thankful to have come across this wonderful product. Both of our dogs have been given a new lease on life."

Peggy's instinct to try nutrition before an expensive workup is one we hear often, and the order we'd suggest is the same for any dog whose hips are going: look at the bowl first. Diet is the first thing we go over on a consult; the current list is our recommended foods guide. If your dog is where Lily was, book a free consultation and we'll talk it through with you.
