"Not only has Rose-Hip Vital helped heal her physically, it has healed her mentally as well"
Just over a year ago our 15 year old girl, Dingo Loxie, was literally on her ‘last legs’. Age, arthritis, and muscle wastage were taking their toll. Her ‘ever young’ brain was writing cheques her back legs couldn’t cash.
One day she had a mistep on the steep stairs and tumbled down 15 steps. She was buggered. She couldn’t walk. She ached and was limping around. She had a trip to the vet and given the all clear with nothing broken or damaged except her mobility and her dignity. She wasn’t the same. Even a week later when her bruised muscles had healed and she could get up, she walked around gingerly, stumbling and dragging her back legs, catching them on things. She was so despondent and depressed. Her ‘spark’ had gone. Sometimes she couldn’t even motivate herself to get up and take herself out for a wee, so she would just wet herself, and lay in the damp puddle.
We had tried all sorts of additives and supliments previously with no effect. Glucosamine, condroitin sulphate, green lipped muscle powder. I have worked in Pet Specialty retail for 15 years in my previous career, and I remembered people raving about, and purchasing Rose-Hip Vital. I’d always dismissed it as something that wouldn’t work, couldn’t possibly work. But I was desperate, and so was Loxie. She used to be able to jump up 6 feet to the roof of the van, now she couldn’t even jump up on the couch. She was ‘floor bound’, and for a Dingo that loves to be up on high, surveying her world, this was a great loss to her, physically and mentally.
So, I went online and bought a small tub of Rose-Hip Vital Canine and started the recommended dosage, not expecting much at all, but hey, what was there to lose??
In less than 2 weeks we noticed a massive difference, she started going back out side to do her wees, the house puddles were gone, she was happier, she was hungrier. As the days progressed, so did her mobility. She was getting up on the outdoor seating, and JUMPING off! She was walking around and there was a spring back in her step, like a grandma having a dance at a wedding after a few Sherries. She was still a bit wobbly but improving. As the month passed, she was getting around like she had before. She was even running! Badly and clumsily sometimes, but she was ‘laughing’ as she was doing it. She was back on the furniture, back up on the bed. Chasing her partner in crime around the house at full speed, even with her rear end drifting out like a Tokyo Racer sometimes. Kitchen table, yup, back up there. Counter surfing and getting into the bread bin, yep!!
Loxie was acting like a puppy again, her pains were gone, she was running around and leaping like she was a puppy again. She was having FUN!!
We were shocked at the recovery, it was nothing short of miraculous. Nothing had changed in her diet except the Rose-Hip Vital, or as we call it in this house, ‘Loxie’s Yippy Powder’!!
Our Vet visited for all the fur kids vaccinations, and a check on Loxie. He was expecting to see her lame, and at ‘end of life care’. What he didn’t expect was the level of recovery. We told him that we had been giving her the Rose-Hip Vital Canine and he just said, “Ahhh, yes, it has very good anti-inflamitory properties”. But even he was astounded and thrilled to see her back to her usual self that he had known of her, her entire 15 years.
I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Loxie back to normal and loving life again. And that is the icing on the cake. Not only has Rose-Hip Vital helped heal her physically, it has healed her mentally as well. She is happy, cheeky, naughty bin diving Lady Loxie Long Sox. Her ‘Vitality’ has never been more observable!
Thank you ‘Loxie’s Yippy Powder’, oops, I mean Rose-Hip Vital Canine.
