I brought VG750 into my practice last fall (9/2009) when there was a change over in the manufacturing of the product I was using and could no longer get that product. My clinic director contacted Nutra-9 and found out about VG750. We decided to give it a try. We have had great success with VG750. My clients come in and thank me. I have a 12 yr old collie that has a much better quality of life thanks to Nutra-9’s  VG750.  I have found that the dogs take it as a treat, owner compliance is high and repeat purchase is high. I’m pleased that we choose to bring this great new product into our hospital.

We at Nutra-9 own two dogs Titan & Athena, both of which you will see through out the site. They are both on VG750 and have been on it for almost a year. I will start of by telling you Titan's story. Titan is an Olde English Bulldogge born in December of 2000. He is considered a large breed (95lbs) and a 5th generation cross of English Bulldog, American Bulldog and Bull Mastiff. About two years ago he started showing signs of arthritis, getting up lame and slow, not wanting to go for walks or down stairs or even really rough housing with Athena or myself. As a novice bodybuilder and dealing with joint pain myself, I have always had him on a regimen of Glucosamine, MSM & Chondroitin. He didn't seem to improve so I started looking for alternative solutions. 

Athena's story is a little different. She is also an Olde English Bulldogge, a little smaller and the age of seven (a fact she doesn't want me to mention). At birth her mother (a first timer) was a bit overzealous cleaning her and bit two toes off on her rear left leg, I know this sounds sad but it has never impaired her. The vets told us she would live a normal life but would end up with arthritis or back problems because the foot wouldn't grow at the same rate or possibly fully. Then at the age of two and a half she tore her ACL and was diagnosed with a luxating patella on the same knee but on the right side. We had the surgery and again were told that she would develop arthritis later on down the road. At around the age of five I started noticing the same signs, especially the limp after a long walk. And again we implemented the Glucosamine, MSM & Chondroitin regiment at an early age. We just never saw any signs that this was working with either dog.  Not wanting to go the way of NSAIDS,  I kept an eye out for alternatives. That is when I came across a natural herb that helped me with my joint pain in 4 days, so I hit the books and started  researching to see if it was safe for dogs. After determining that it is a safe herbal remedy for dogs we gave it a try on both of them. Both dogs responded in 5-6 days. We were going for 4am walks, wrestling, chasing sticks and balls. Amazed at the results, I decided to develop a pill - (VG750) for dogs to make it easier to administer and help as many pups as possible.

Hi Dan,
Here is Tanner, age 6, pure-bred German Shepherd. He weighs about 115. He had ulnar dysplasia at 11 months and had to have bilateral ulnar osteotomies and both joints cleaned up. He can limp at the drop of a hat, if he plays too hard, if he trips, etc. At the time I found your product VG 750, he was limping badly from over playing. I had him on aspirin 2 buffered adult per day. I started him on your product immediately after I got it. It took a while for it to work and I had to keep him on aspirin in conjunction with the VG750 for a time, perhaps a month. Since then he has done very well. He is not limping, he does not require aspirin. He plays hard with balls outside and is moving just fine at this time. I am thrilled for him because he loves to play ball more than life itself. Thank you for your product VG 750. We are grateful.

About 2 months ago (10/3/08)- I was on a bulldog website and saw information on Nutra-9 and the VG750 product so i decided to try it. I received it about 2 weeks ago and began giving it to Maisy. BOY WHAT A CHANGE!! She as running and playing again. I can't thank you enough Dan for this product. I felt so helpless at times because I couldn't help Maisy's pain and now, by the photo, you can tell she is feeling good!

I want to thank you for this product. Within three days of taking my 13 year old dog off Rimadyl (at the owners own discretion not ours) and putting her on VG750, she had more energy, she lost her "vertigo" symptoms, and she hasn't missed once jumping onto my (very high) bed. I have told every dog owner I know about this. It is great!!!!

.....The vet and I believe she is about 13 at this point.  She started to have some trouble about 5 months ago and the vet put her on a low dose of Rimadyl.  When I went to the Pet Show in Hartford and met you guys, I though I might as well give your product a try as I use multiple herbs myself for health reasons (Lyme Disease).  Oma had been quite off balance on the Rimadyl, almost like she had a bit of vertigo.  She still wasn’t jumping up on my bed, which had always been her special place.  When I started her on the VG750, within three to four days, I saw a difference.  She wasn’t as off balance and she started jumping up on the bed again.  She seemed to have more energy also.  She hasn’t missed getting up on the bed once in the past two months on your product and her vertigo symptoms are completely gone.  She even wants to run and play once in a while (which is rare for her).  I really feel your product is the reason for her renewed energy and comfort.  Since I got her so late in life and the first 10 years of her life were not too good, I am thrilled to be able to give her more quality time without pain.  Thanks so much.
Wendie

UPDATE:

 

I wanted to let you know that OMA is still going strong. She had recent surgery and the vet determined that she is actually two years older than we thought, she is around 15, not 13. She has a brain tumor that gives her infrequent (thankfully) seizures, but other than that, she's still healthy and happy. VG750 helps her every day to stay pain free and agile. She's a lot slower than she was, but she still takes two walks a day and spends as much time in her backyard as she can. Thanks again for your great product that is helping to keep her with me as long as possible.
~Wendie

I am heartbroken to tell you that Oma succumbed to her brain tumor on November 14, 2009.  She was still going strong at almost 16 years old, walking every day, enjoying her backyard, and accepting everything life threw at her with grace and honor.  She was fine on Wednesday, but suddenly, Thursday, she just wasn’t there anymore.  She forgot to eat, didn’t remember how to go down the steps, and though her body still worked beautifully, her mind was no longer available.  I had to make the decision to put her down on Saturday.  It broke my heart!!!!!  I want to thank you for your product, VG 750.  I know in my heart that it was one of the major reasons that she lived to her ripe old age and that her quality of life right up to the end was wonderful.  I miss her every day.  Four days ago, I took on a 5 year old Brittany.  We all think Oma sent her to me, as she also was found on the streets of Newington.  She is totally different than Oma, but that’s ok.No one could ever replace her.  Thanks again.  I will put this little girl on the VG750 as soon as I know her tummy has calmed down from all the food changes she has endured.  You guys are the best.

Tearfully,

Wendie

Hi Dan

 

I was one of the many people who talked to you about my dog Bear and her hip and cruciate ligament surgery (both knees) at the RI Pet Expo.

 

Need to tell you that it sure seem that Bear has taken to the VG750 - she is walking up the stairs better and even venturing out into the back yard to pee and poop.

 

I passed on 5 of the pills to a friend at work whose 17 year old poodle was having trouble. She called me into the office today and told me that "Teddy" is up and about and only after 6 days.

 

I have just ordered two bottles, one for her for Teddy and another for us for Bear.

 

I thank you and your wife for taking the time to talk with us and show me the video.

 

I will keep you posted on Bears progress.

 

Thanks again,

Bear is doing well, she will be 11 on June 15 and even though she is not running all over, she gets around fine.

 

 

We have a new dog, a one year old Yorkie and she and Bear are the best of pals. Bear will actually try to chase her all over!

Hello Dan

 

 

 

I just wanted to let you know that last week Bear went down the back stairs and tripped over our other dog Bella's leash.

 

She refused to walk more than 4 steps.......I was heartbroken.
I decided to up her pills to 3 a day - just to see what happened.

 

Well.....here is Bear from today in the back yard.

 

Last week she had to be helped down the stairs to pee and today she is going to the back yard......and not wanting to come in.

 

She LOVES the snow and was always my "shoveling buddy".

 

When I went out to shovel, she would be there with me, eating and playing in all the white stuff.

 

Today when I went out with her and started doing the walk.....she headed for the back and sat there as if to say "that's it?".

 

I had to go to her and yes, she walked the whole way with no help.

 

Just wanted to let you know how things went - I think she will stay on the 3 pills from now on!

 

 

Talk to you later.......Tina

 

As promised here is a photo of Bear swimming at the lake. She LOVES the water and hates to get out. We limit her to an hour a day though.Need to tell you, there was a lab at the laketoo and she was younger than Bear.........and Bear swam faster and was up higher in the water than the lab was!

 

As you can tell from the photo and the way the water is splashing up, she moves well in the water. Thanks again!


UPDATE:

Hi Dan

 

I just wanted to give you an update on Bear. She had a vet visit on 1/20/11 and she now weighs 65 pounds. (remember she was 103 – yikes!)

Her vet told me (and we always see the same woman, from way back when) that she felt more muscle in Bears back legs.

As you know, Bear swims in the summer and in the winter its hard to get that kind of exercise so we give Bear 3 pills of the VG 750 a day

and she does very good. She goes outside and loves the snow, its hard to get her back inside!

I am sure that if she did not feel well enough she would not be going out as much (5 times a day to just be outside) and I am sure the pills help

her in that area. We do not help her up or down the stairs – she does it all on her own.

So that is it for now...thanks again for all you have done for us!

 

Tina and Bear

We are the proud parents of Sadie, a pure-bred Bearded Collie. Sadie turned 10 years old a few months back. About a year ago, we started noticing that Sadie was getting up much more slowly, hesitating before jumping up on the couch with us, and was having more and more difficultly going both up and down stairs. Soon, she started limping after lying down for any period of time, as if her back legs were stiff and sore. The vet told us simply that it was the start of arthritis, and recommended that we add a glucosamine supplement to her diet. We did this, and no improvement occurred. We tried different brands, different doses, you name it, but our Sadie could find no relief!

Then we attended the Pet Rock festival and got some information from the Nutra-9 booth about the VG750 supplement. What caught my attention most was that this was NOT a glucosamine supplement. No ridiculous high doses to give, no giant pills that we had to trick Sadie into swallowing sometimes up to 4 times daily! We decided to give this a try, although, to be honest, my expectations were not very high.

VG750 is a simple pill that we started giving to Sadie twice a day (based on her weight) which she LOVES the beefy taste of! I simply give her the pill and she eats it right up! That was the first benefit we noticed, but certainly not the last!

Within 1 WEEK, that's right, just 1 WEEK, Sadie lost the stiffness in her back legs! Soon after, she was back to jumping right up onto the couch, running after us up and down stairs, and even jogging in the park! Now, she even loves to play in the cold and snow again! Unbelievable!

Thanks to these pills, our sweet pup is just that again, a pup! Even her vets and groomers can't believe that she is actually 10 years old! We highly recommend this product to all you dog lovers out there...the proof is undeniable! Thank you Nutra-9!!

Sincerely,

Kristina, John and Sadie O.

Just wanted to say how great the VG750 is.  Sadie got out and was gone for 10hr in the wet and cold, when we got her home she could barely walk and had to be helped on the furniture.  She's been taking VG750 for 5 days, yesterday she ran after the mail truck!  We no longer have to help her on the furniture, she is moving much better.  This is a miracle. 

Thank you so much.

My Golden is moving much better and acting much younger than his 12 years. Customers who have bought it and have had success include the owners of a St. Bernard, and especially a Schnauzer mix. The Schnauzer has gone from lying around all day to running and playing with the other dogs in his family. His owner is amazed! Thanks again for introducing me to this product.

"Secret Shopper asked me to do a product review of Nutra-9, so here it is, sorry it took a little longer than expected.  
My parents have a 14 y/o lab/husky, which has basically spent his entire life wandering around my parents’ lawn – no matter how hot, cold, wet, etc., he really like to be outside.   But, all those years took a toll on his joints and he now has arthritis, and it is especially bad in the front right leg.  I asked my parents to try Nutra-9 to see if would make any difference in his mobility, and I’m happy to hear that he is much more active that what he was 8-10 weeks ago.  Even though he is still an old dog and will not be as active as he once was, he now enjoys wandering around my parent’s yard and spending more time exploring, even though it is freezing in Wisconsin.  Thanks for providing the product.  It has been a big help to my parent’s dog."

Hi Dan,
I will get you of photo of Duchess, my 18 year old black pug  . . .who is definitely looking more steady on her feet.  She's not running or jumping yet, but it's only been a little over a week and I have certainly seen improvement.  She is not wobbling when she is eating and she actually walked across the kitchen, which is something she hasn't done in a while.  I am very happy we tried the VG750, and am hopeful that the progress continues.

Susan M

Dan,

She is walking a little better every day.  She stands and eats and drinks without falling over which is huge!

I will be ordering more and offering it to a few friends with pets with mobility issues.

Susan M

......as I mentioned Brady had only been on VG 750 three days and he was able to climb the stairs at the back door which is something he hasn't been able to do for months, so I think he will only get better and eventually be able to climb the stairs to go up to my room!

Thanks again!!!

Hi, my sister and I both bought a month's worth of your VG750 at the CT Expo. We both have seen results in our dogs, she has a 13 yr old lab and I have an 11 yr old German shepherd who has a disc problem. 

Diane S. Holly

Hi Kelly,

I have given Luke VG750 and he is doing fine on it. My lifestyle and Luke's is very active so I'm confident that VG750 is working to keep his joints healthy.

Mark R.

Hi Kelly,

Yes it is wonderful!!   I have been meaning to get back to you, but, you know with the Holidays!  We didn't see an improvement over night.  But now that he's been taking for about a month.  It is excellent, it's like he's got his spring back in his step! You cannot believe his energy and playfulness!  We will certainly be getting more of VG-750. 

Happy Holidays!

Thanks again for the follow-up

Susan

I am seeing an improvement in my lab, Boomer, since I started him on VG750 on Nov. 24. He is back jumping on couch for his usual nap time. I have also started giving it to my other dog who is 15 and developing arthritis in his hind legs. I hope by the end of the second bottle to see an improvement in him, also. Thanks for helping all of us who love our wonderful little friends and want to make their senior years as enjoyable as possible.

Hello... I know you must have met a lot of people at the pet expo.. so just a recap. I talked with you for a while had the black lab who was 11 years old who does pet therapy.... I bought a bottle of your pills and have been giving them to Sophie for 2 weeks now and i just wanted to tell you i think they are doing great. she actually did a little jog at the beach the other day... and she got up on my bed without my help the other night... I have to tell you I am very glad I stopped to talked to you... if I can do anything to help get the word out please let me know..
Karen & Sophie

We purchased our first bottle at the expo and have had unbelievable results with our 150 lb lab/rottie mix. He still has some difficulty getting up from laying down after a long time but he is having less difficulty going up and down the stairs. He even chased a coyote out of the yard last week.
We are very happy with the results.

Thank you

Holly

Re: My 15 year old dog Gunner

Dear Sir:

I am writing this letter to say thank you for my Hunting Partner Gunner (Gunner is my well-trained Lab that has been an excellent hunting dog for 12 of the last 14 years). The last two years of Gunners life have not been too great. His hips have been hurting to where he cannot accompany me on any kind of hunting trips, or even jump into the back of my truck.  He has not been in the field in the past two years because it is just two hard on him. I received my first bottle of VG750 and wow in just a week I started to see a great change in Gunner. He was running up the stairs from his kennel to the truck and is jumping up and placing his front paws onto the tailgate of the truck.

 It is Duck season here in the Midwest and I even took him on the Duck hunt and Wow again I dropped a duck and Gunner retrieved it. Thank you so much for VG750, you have given Gunner another hunting season. Gunner is my hunting buddy and it sure is nice having him back hunting with me again!    

Sincerely,

Gerald J. Lanahan
