Golden Years

I'm 100% satisfied with this product. Max's vet says "Whatever you're giving him...keep doing it" His heart sounds fantastic, he's still playful and peppy. Max is 14yrs old. I wanted to give this to him to help his vitality as well as his immune system since he is prone to lipomas. He gets them on his feet the most. He has one now that is aggravating to him and so of course Max nibbled on it, puncturing it with his tooth. Although I disinfected it, kept it wrapped with clean gauze, the wound on the lipoma continued to bleed and puss just a bit- telling me the wound wasn't closing. We went to the vet, got antibiotics that helped a lot for the swelling, but still that puncture wound wasn't closing even after 2 weeks on antibiotics. He's had the e-collar on so I know he hasn't been fussing with it, preventing the closure. My theory was either Max's blood isn't clotting because of something I'm feeding him or the type of tissue on that lipoma isn't going to allow the closure. I looked it up and some ingredients in Golden Years could cause blood to not clot as well/ heal over a wound: Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Licorice Root. On a whim, I stopped the Golden Years and within 24hrs it started to clot. Within 48hrs it is looking so much better- no blood, no puss and looks completely closed! I write all this to say- This is an excellent product and I'll continue to give it to Max, but if you have a dog that has a wound that isn't healing up as it should, you may want to try to pause this product and then start back up after a week or so. I noticed some of these ingredients are also in the Ortho Flex so I paused that one as well. All in all- all natural ingredients are just what we need and what our dogs need, but some herbs/supplements can alter the body's chemistry so just be aware. Also- I would love to have this in a chew form if ever that is available in the future. This way it'd be easier when we travel with Max. Thanks, Dr. Harvey!
