My female husky has had diabetes for several years. We've battled several complications with her eyes, starting with cataracts and, long after cataract removal and myriad other issues and treatments, culminating with complete blindness. We test her blood sugar and give insulin twice daily. Through it all, she's been absolutely amazing, accepting each treatment with ease, and maintaining a terrific attitude toward things. People comment how easily she gets around, how amazingly she deals with challenges, and how happy she seems.

Late last year, we thought things had taken a notable turn for the worst when it seemed she started losing focus, getting disoriented and even lost. The blindness is enough of a challenge, but she had always managed with amazing resilience to find her way wherever she wanted to go -- though the house, around our large back yard, etc. The new lack of clarity/focus compounded the situation and she suddenly seemed lost in a way she never had. She seemed frustrated and anxious. She even started having accidents in the house, something she had *never* done before.

Remembering Cholodin as something our veterinarian had recommended years earlier for another senior dog, we decided to give it a try, in hopes that that it might help, even if only in a small way. Within a few days, positive signs appeared and a few more days gave even more successful results. She is now awake more and absolutely more alert. She very seldom seems disoriented and only occasionally frustrated. She hasn't had an accident in the house since the first week was on Cholodin. She's back to going reasonably confidently though the house and back yard. She still faces the complications of diabetes and her blindness, but is back to dealing with things in her generally happy demeanor, persevering through the challenges with amazing patience. We don't have a "keep her alive at all costs" mentality, and when the day comes that she can no longer live a happy life, we won't allow her to suffer. For now, and clearly thanks to Cholodin, she's mentally back in the game and doing better than we could have hoped.

So far, so good....

My previous Welsh Terrier suffered with canine Alzheimer's so badly, we had to put him to sleep. I adopted a 6 year old Welshie a year ago and started him on Cholodin Canine right away, as a holistic vet recommended they be started at age 5 for dogs and cats. Obviously, I don't know how they will affect my pets later in their lives, but I will say that my new Welshie, now age 7, has the drive and spirit of a puppy, races his 2-year old doggie friends and wins, and he's a sharp one. He also thinks his Cholodin tablet is a treat!

Cholodin - Super Geritol for Pets

This supplement helped give my elderly pit-mix a much better quality of life as he aged - almost 16 when he died. Now it is giving my retriever mix an excellent quality of life - she'll be 17 in December. It helps with cognition, mobility, seems to benefit the liver, and just over all improves the ability to enjoy their elder days. The cat version is great for the elder felines in your world as well. I'll keep on using it when my other dog, a corgie mix, starts pushing his "oldie-goldie" days.

MVP is TOPS in nutritional suppliments

Breed:Beagle

An outstanding product with top notch customer service. I spoke with a rep. from MVP, the company that makes Cholodin, prior to ordering these tablets. A two week sample was shipped from her office to my home Priority Mail as well as a hyaluronic acid gel supplement for joint issues.

The folks at MVP have thought of everything when it comes to packaging. The bottle is a rigid plastic, sealed, with a large cotton insert to provide cushioning for the contents. And Entirely Pets was prompt in shipping this product. In fact, their customer service answered my question truthfully regarding the freshness of the tablets; something everyone should be concerned about when ordering pet supplements.

Now, as to their effectiveness; I can't say enough about my 11 year old Beagle's improved cognitive functions since starting this product. My vet was amazed at how well his coat looked, improvements in walking, and mobility in general. Obviously it won't work for everyone in the same ways it has worked for us. But you owe it to yourself and your dog to give it a try. I haven't talked with anyone who has used this product and not had SOME improvements.

Now I can sleep!

Breed:vizsla

My 12 year old vizsla has difficulty sleeping at night. He'd be awake, and he wouldn't remember how to go out the dog door, or how to get back in, and he'd need to go out several times a night. Sometimes he'd stand on the floor, stare at the bed and bark, but he didn't really know what he wanted. I wasn't getting any sleep due to his nocturnal restlessness.

Cholodin was recommended by our holistic vet, and it has been wonderful. Our vizsla gets one tab before bedtime, and and is able to sleep most of the night without being restless. Now I can get a decent night's sleep too. Our vizsla also seems happier during the day, a bit brighter eyed.

Great

My dog was on Phenobarbital for seizures and then developed urinary incontinence, I read about Cholodin and started supplementing him with that, and weaning him off the phenobarbital. He has not had a seizure since he has been off the pheno. That has been about 2 months, and he no longer has the urinary incontinence.
