Dr. Osborne treated my 13 week female American Eskimo puppy Indie Mo after she was severely mauled and repeatedly bitten by another dog. She stitched her up and treated her wounds and prescribed a diet to help heal her wounds and injuries which resulted in a full recovery. Now she is Indie Mo’s permanent vet. you couldn’t find a more compassionate or knowledgeable vet on the planet in my opinion.
I have a 7 yo. dachshund who IS part of our family, just like your beloved pets. We try to provide the best health care for him and promptly attend to any problems he may encounter. He has had ongoing skin issues for about 5 years, itching, infections etc. I have had him to 4 vet clinics up to this summer without any solutions. One even told me that dachshunds just itch and get infections, and to just live with it! My neighbor told me about Dr. Carol Osborne and her Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center. I called and made an appointment for Rusty. She assessed him and asked many questions about his food, his meds etc and what type care he had received in the past. After testing it was discovered he had Cushings Disease, which is not uncommon for dogs in the 6 to 8 year range. She changed his heartworm meds from the brand most advertised in most vet offices and also the most expensive to a simple liquid I put on his skin once a month. I picked up some Paaws vitamins from her and began feeding him a food she sold in her clinic; however took her advice and cook chicken and vegetables for him. I cook once every 10 days to 2 weeks in the crock pot and freeze his food then parcel it out for him at mealtime. If I am in a hurry, then he gets the dry bag food. He loves the food and is eating 2 to 3 times what he was before and is Loosing weight, which was one of his issues. I give him his meds for the Cushings plus his vitamins and you can NOT believe the change in this dog. Recently I took him in for an ear infection, which he seldom ever gets. She treated him right away. The next day she called to check up on him. This is something she does a lot. This vet REALLY CARES about your pet. I will never take him anywhere else. Dr. Osborne has been a Godsend to us and as for Rusty, well, he is a brand new dog. His fur is smooth like rabbit fur, his yeast infections are gone, he’s loosing weight and his skin is clearing up and he rarely itches himself anymore. I challenge you to find a better, more caring veterinarian anywhere. I seriously do not think you will find one. Thank you Dr. Carol !!!
I started Shana on your product on October first and have truly noticed improvements. When we spoke on the phone back then you suggested an automatic reorder program. How does that work?
Thank you for your assistance.
I had Amos neutered last November and he’s put on pounds ever since, despite less feed. I had him on NSAIDs for pain relief and all he would do then is sleep. I started him on your products, cut back on the NSAIDs and Amos is now on the move. On our two short walks daily, he’ll sniff around and stuff while I go on ahead. Then he RUNS to catch up with me. He runs on ahead, voluntarily! Hopefully, he can lose enough weight to eliminate the NSAIDs altogether. I’m tempted to try your product myself, but I’m no liver lover. Amos, however, will almost start drooling when I shake the bottle.
Thanks
I am not sure if you remember me, my name is Linda and we talked previously about my dog Bayer who has Addisons Disease. We have been using your vitamins for the past several weeks and it seems that Bayer’s spirits are up and he is a bit calmer in the evening. However, his back end is still quite weak. Do you have any other suggestions that would help increase his strength? Our vet has reduced Bayer’s Prednisone down to twice a week, because of the weight he has put on.
I agree wholeheartedly with the testimonials. YOUR product is a truly beneficial product for any owner of a pet that they think the world of and want their pet to have a happy lengthily life for as long as possible. Yes, the dog on my e-mail message is cute and I wouldn’t mind having another pet, however she was not one of my girls. Unfortunately they did not have any schnauzers that I could use. I have two schnauzers: Heidi, (Black) and Schatzie (Salt & Pepper). They’re our little girls and we want them around and in good health for as long as possible. Schatzie is diabetic and before taking your supplement her appetite was not so good. Now she eats her food and then licks Heidi’s bowl. She’s just 17 pounds- just a little thing.
P.S. While we were out East visiting our daughter, my husband spread the PAAWS-VITALIFE word to any and all dog owners we met. Give them your card and told them that your product is terrific and that they should think of trying the product.
I just wanted you to know that I giving my dog Toby the PAAWS-Vitalife AM/PM formula with a little peanut butter and he is now “gobbling” it up! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier!!! He has been on the full dosage of the AM/PM for -4 days now and I really think he feels better. He has more energy and his Appetite has improved tremendously. I’ll wait for a few more weeks to make sure, after that, if I still feel is has improved, I will let you know. Thanks again for following up with the phone call last week. I appreciate your concern.
I am sending you an update on how PAAWS-Vitalife has helped our dog, Chica. This dog does have Cushings, as well as thyroid problems. Her undercoat is about all the hair she has… and her back legs cannot jump up the way they once did. He is able to go up and down steps, and I am sure that is thanks to your tablets… I have discontinued Derma and am using Vitalife instead. My dog is better with it than without but considering she has Cushings I think she is doing the best she can.
Thank you for your explanation on the AM/PM… Our Chica has been taking PAAWS-Vitalife for some time now. It has enabled her to keep climbing stairs and basically keep walking around! She has plenty of zest for life, and lots of enthusiasm, thanks to PAAWS-Vitalife.
Thank you Dr. Carol. I received my order of PAAWS-Vitalife today in the mail. Rachel is such a finicky eater. I have to boil chicken for her and grind it. She eats it sparingly. I discovered that anything in larger chunks will not digest. Ground food will. But, it has to taste good, too. We discovered an ulcer 2 months ago. She was very ill then and almost died. Last fall she had pancreatitis, then 2 months ago she quit eating, began throwing up, having black, tarry stools, and we found the ulcer. Then a couple of weeks later, a huge dog came into our yard, picked her up and shook her violently. She was not hurt badly, but one of the dog’s teeth did sink into he upper back. It didn’t hit an organ or a bone. She was very sore for days. Now, this has happened.
Additionally, I found a story on the Internet about a dog that was in Rachel’s condition, except he’d been given 48 hours to live. Long story short, the vet asked the owners if they thought their tap water was poisonous turns out it had high salt content which contributed to shutting down the dog’s kidneys. They put the dog on distilled water, he Iived past the 48 hours and lived 4 years longer. I rushed to my vet’s office and gave them the information and they admitted never having thought of it. They ran an electrolyte test and said that they weren’t out of whack, but there were a couple of other tests that showed that it was possible, though not conclusive, that perhaps this could be a contributing factor to Rachel’s situation. We put her on distilled water and Vitalife
The vet said that her tests were slightly better than before–not to get too excited, but they weren’t at all worse, and they were a tad better. The day before he had told me that it was almost hopeless. So, we decided to give her distilled water and Vitalife from now on just in case.
Thank you so much. I’ll keep you posted. If you have any other ideas don’t hesitate to advise me. Rachel is the most important thing in my life. I love her so much. She has been my constant companion for 11 years, and it’s absolutely killing me to see this happening to her.
Thanks Dr. Carol…You and your PAAWS-VitaLife product are awesome!!!! My dog Jagger is 14 years old now and somebody just asked me if he was a puppy!!! I just had to write to tell you that!
Update on my dog Walker:
We have decreased Walker to ½ the dose of Rimadyl (only 1 pill in the am and none in pm) for 7 days and he is doing fine. In fact, there seems to be an increase in his “puppy like” activity. He’s a little more frisky, wants to play more; he can get up from lying down just fine, and runs with ease.
Thanks
Our dog Earl is not just a family pet, he is a family member. Earl is ten years old. Over the past few years has suffered from terrible allergies and has become increasingly sluggish. After talking to you, we realized the importance of adding high quality vitamins to his diet. However, because of his many allergies, I was hesitant about placing an order until I knew exactly what was in the vitalife formula. I called and left you a voice-mail describing my questions and concerns. I never expected that it would actually be you who would call me back. We had a great conversation and your knowledge of, and concern for, animals really impressed me! That combined with our assurance that the formula contained no poultry or rice convinced me to place an order. We noticed a difference in Earl after the first week. He has been taking PAAWS-VitaLife for one month now, and we’ve noticed great improvement. He exhibits more energy on his morning walks and at playtime. This is the first summer in about four years that he has not had to go for monthly allergy shots.
Earl is a very satisfied customer… so are we!
Thank you
My name is Debbie and I have been using your product for my 7 year old Vizsla, Janie. I just wanted to let you know, she is doing very well. We have been walking 2.5 miles every night and both she and my younger dog are really enjoying it!
Thanks so much
I have 2 Shih Tzu’s, 10 1/2 years old,and ordered your PAAWS-Vitalife AM / PM Wellness System, hoping to help my Shih Tzu that has Cushing’s Disease. I really was skeptical, but decided to try it. Well Dr. Carol, I am so glad I did, because I cannot believe the turn around in this dog. She is so frisky, even in the evening, and has more energy than the other dog. She also had flaky, dry skin, and now that has cleared up. So I have decided to put my second dog on this regiment. I really believe in your product and I know my second dog will benefit also.
The only other comment I have is to say “Thank You.”
My cat Dusty is now 21 years old and has been on your product for 2 years. He is doing wonderfully on your PAAWS-Vitalife product.
Thank you
Thank you for returning my call. “Winky” my cat is a twelve year old tabby. A picture of her is attached. We adopted her as a stray years ago and she had been injured. She lost her eye as a result of that injury, but has been healthy otherwise. She breaks out in hotspots once as year, and I wanted to try a vitamin/mineral supplement that mighty ease here comfort or prevent it totally. As you know I just placed my second order for Vitalife “Winky” is playful and energetic her hotspots have cleared up and she is happy.
Thank you Dr. Carol
I don’t usually take the time to write this type of letter, but I have to give credit where credit is due. I heard about your product while house hunting in Florida this spring and said what the heck. My German Shepard is 13 years old and was really showing the effects of his age. Last summer he had two ACL operations on his back knees. He was becoming Arthritic quickly and severely. I started him on the PAAWS-Vitalife regiment the day I received them, and within 30 days I saw a marked difference, within 60 days I couldn’t believe the progress. Today and every day I leave for work he is waiting for me with two tennis balls in his mouth, the same when I get home. I sent some pictures so you could see for yourself. Thanks Doc.
I’m writing to you today to say “Thank-You” for your untiring dedication to improving the quality of life for my cat, Charlie.
You have been “Charlie’s” vet for over ten years. In that time you have made sure he got his yearly shots, groomed and kept him in good shape. Sadly, when Charlie turned 10 (70 in cat years) he began to show signs of aging. He started limping on his left front paw, he had trouble jumping up onto the bed or chair, his energy and playfulness declined. I was very worried. Charlie was part of my family and I hated to see him in pain!
After examining you explained to me that as our pet’s age (just like humans) they can suffer various old age diseases. We discussed changing Charlie’s diet and adding in your all-natural “PAAWS-VitaLife” nutritional supplements.
In two short weeks I saw a dramatic improvement in Charlie’s energy, he stopped limping, he was once again able to jump up on the bed and chairs, he would chase around outside and seemed his old lovable self!
That was over a year ago, and we still have Charlie here to enjoy every day.
Dr. Carol, thank-you for your dedication to improving our pet’s life with your “PAAWS-VitaLife” nutritional support program.
My 13 year old arthritic dog was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease and I had tried treating him with Selegiline with brief success, but then his symptoms seemed to reappear. As a scientist I did my own research and decided to try him on phosphatidylserine before going with the next, more severe option of killing off his adrenal gland tissue chemically. I was concerned however about his joint problems getting worse once he was no longer as sedated as the Selegiline had kept him. I bought your PAAWSproduct as support to complement his treatment with phosphatidylserine. It has been a year and I have been very pleased with his energy, activity capability and coat. Before I began the new treatment his coat was tacky and brittle feeling, now it is almost as silky as before he got sick. He sleeps through the night and enjoys play with me and my other dog which had stopped while he was on the Selegeline. His companyhas always beenvery important to me, but more so this last year as I was diagnosed with Breast Cancerlast May and don’t think I could have handled losing him as well. I know we would not have done this well without your product!
Thank you so much for supporting us through this year!
I just wanted to bring you up to date on my cat “Nutty”. I spoke to you on the phone in regards to my cat that has a cancerous tumor on her face. You told me the formula was on back order. Out of the kindness of your heart, you made up a special order and got it to me immediately.
Nutty has also been much active since being put on the PAAWS-Vitalife AM/PM formula for the past month. He just had pre-op blood work done (they have to reduce the tumor again) and my Vet told us that all her functions (kidneys, liver, etc.) are excellent and cannot find any movement of the cancer in her system. She will have the tumor operated on Tuesday of next week. We’re hoping the surgery goes well. We have started our other cat on the PAAWS-Vitalife formula and see increases in her activity level. Appetites are terrific. I haven’t had a hard time of administering the formula. I just crush it and mix it in their food.
I am about to order more of the PAAWS-Vitalife AM/PM formula and that is what reminded me to let you know how Nutty was doing. I will update you further after her surgery.
Best Regards
I have a little Pomeranian called Sara. Sara went totally blind. She become very depressed and just laid around. My daughter worked at the radio station and heard about Dr. Osbome, DVM, so I asked my daughter to call her and tell her about my dog, Sara. We talked and she sent her PAAWS-Vitalife AM&PM Formula. I started to see improvement after a week or two. Her sight is back and she is now chasing birds and lizards. She is better now then ever. We are so happy for her and she is a very happy dog again. I am sending you a picture of her.
Thank you
My Basset Hound Buddy is 13 years old and weighs 57 pounds. He continues to show wonderful signs of improved health and I plan to send you his picture.
Thank you, thank you, for this wonderful product!
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to speak with me this morning. As I said in my telephone call, when my Samoyed began walking with a slight limp, I became concerned. I knew she was getting on in years, but I still wanted desperately to help her. I took her to my veterinarian who said to give her aspirin once a day. At first it seemed to help, but not for long. Soon she was not able to get up and down the deck steps to go out into the yard. We built a ramp for her so she could get in and out of the house easier. Then one Saturday morning I heard you talking about PAAWS-Vitalife on the radio. I didn’t have much faith, but I knew I had to try. It was amazing! My dog that had required a ramp to get up the steps was now trotting around the yard. Her coat began to look healthier, her appetite increased and it was clear that she was feeling better. She actually chose the side of the deck that did not have a ramp. I know your PAAWS-Vitalife product helped my 14 year old Samoyed live a much happier life. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. I am a true believer and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I ever get another dog I will certainly use your product again. I have recommended it to everyone I know.
Thank you, Dr. Carol, for your wonderful product that has indeed given our 17 year old Maltese such a dramatically improved quality of life. In the spring, he was barely able to walk. His left, hind paw gave out regularly. He was so obviously in pain from his arthritis, having his back all hunched and sleeping most of the day. The improvement, though gradual, was consistent and obvious. He now goes for several walks a day, happily, with no problem with his hind paw. He still sleeps a lot of the day but he is old after all but when he is awake, he is happy, alert and has moments of acting like a puppy again. He even engages our younger dog into having play fights on a regular basis! I will keep Cuddles on Vitalife as long as he is with us. I don’t ever want him to go without it since he is doing so well.
I started Meeka on Paaws vitamins for pets about 6 months ago. At that time she was sleeping about 20 hours a day. For a (2) two year old this is not good. Meeka had 3 surgeries on her back legs within a 5 month period. Meeka is a party-colored long haired Pomeranian and does not handle anesthetic well. Meeka started having other problems acid reflux then pancreatitis. She was weak and could not walk more then 1/2 block.
While checking out pet sites on the computer I ran across Dr Carol’s web site. I bought the Paaws vitamins and started Meeka on them within a few weeks I could see improvement in Meeka she slept less (only needed 3 naps of 1 hour or more a day) I called Dr Carol and told her how pleased I was with the vitamins and asked what else I could do to help Meeka The Vet that I had been working with had given Meeka some vomiting pills and I didn’t feel they helped do anything except make her tired. Those were stopped and Dr Carol prescribed Digest-Zymes and Probiotics. Within a few weeks there was more improvement and Meeka started digesting her food easier. Now Meeka eats 1/4 cup of chicken, sweet potatoes, carrots and rice two times a day with a turkey breast treat around noon Meeka rests after each meal about an hour to digest and needs only about an hour sleep in the afternoon
Meeka can walk about 1 1/2 mile Play and she is back for another session with her friend Clyde (snoodle mix) in agility. If it wasn’t for Dr. Carol and her knowledge we wouldn’t have all the great products for our pets that work and make the pets healthier..
I just wanted to give you an update on my precious dog, Flower. She is doing great! Remember when I ordered the Dr. Carol’s Vitalife I said I had a feeling she was going to die since she was so mopey? Well now she is much more social and interactive! She has a bit more energy, although she is no where close to flying around the backyard! Her tail is always wagging. I did accidentally forget to give her Rimadyl for a day. Her ankle ballooned up, so she still needs that. We have had a lot of issues with Flower using the basement rather than going outside to do her business. That has drastically changed in the past couple of weeks. She still does it, but not constantly like before. She previously had an issue with going outside, particularly in the cold. Although she isn’t all the way there yet, we have noticed a huge leap!
So your Vitalife seems to be helping her. Maybe when the weather warms up she can be weaned off the Rimadyl.
Thanks for your help!
I picked up some of your Dr. Carol’s Vitalife for my dog Wheatley 2 weeks ago. I’m happy to say that my husband and I both see an improvement. She seems more energetic, instead of sleeping the evening away she pays attention to what’s going on and tries to steal her brother’s chewies. She’s also hopping up the stairs again (at least halfway) where she was walking up before. I’ve also noticed that her fur and eyes seem to look better.
You called last week to check on our dog, Tucker, asking for feedback. I have to admit I was very skeptical of your claims and product. However, my mother-in-law swore your product added three years to their dog’s life. It took us a couple of years, but we tried what she had left over from their dog. Within a matter of days we noticed a change in Tucker. He was getting up and down with more ease. He seemed so much spunkier and happier.
I am now a believer! I am now also ordering more than one month at a time because I know your product works. I forgot to mention that Tucker has even put weight back on. He feels so good that he is eating every day. It is important to mention that we haven’t changed ANYTHING else in Tucker’s medications for diet. We only added PAAWS.
Thank you so much for putting the life back into our aging dog. He is going to be 13 in July, but he acts like he did 6 or 7 years ago!
Our 6-pound Yorkie, Murphy, is 13 years old and he suffers from arthritis and cataracts, in addition to some other ailments. We believe he is beginning to have a little dementia, too. We started him on your Dr. Carol’s PAAWS-Vitalife (the senior formula) 5 days ago. It may be my imagination but he seems more alert, active and he does not seem to be limping as badly as he was. One more thing: the breath bones are a hit. His teeth are very bad, despite cleanings and brushings. So he has a difficult time chewing treats that are big and hard. However he keeps working at the ones that we got with your product shipment until he is able to break it and eat it. They must be great tasting.
Thank you for your quick response and you personal attention. I am sure that you have heard this numerous times. Murphy is our baby and it breaks my heart to see him hurting. I want to have a good quality of life for as long as he lives.
My dog Razzle is beginning his second month of your Dr. Carol’s PAAWS-Vitalife. He is a 12 year old Rottweiler mix and was having trouble going up and down stairs and was not playing as much as he always did. After about 3 weeks on PAAWS-Vitalife, he began to show more interest in playing with his toys. In fact, he now often goes into what I call the “play stance” with the front of his body down low and is hind quarters in the air and his tail wagging. You see this in puppies all the time.
He is still a little slow on the stairs but overall he is much more energetic. Now he runs and plays in the back yard, instead of just slowly walking around looking at the trees.
I am so happy I think your PAAWS-VitaLife will help my dog to enjoy a better quality of life in his senior years.
