I asked: “Where could I get this formula?"
Here, we ran into another roadblock.
Dr. Stern informed me that a dog-joint formula like this simply didn’t exist.
Dog supplement companies used low quality ingredients to keep costs low and added lots of additives to make sure that dogs would like the taste.
The problem was that these low- quality formulas simply lacked the potency to help Luna.
Dr. Stern sensed my desperation and said he would figure something out.
I trusted him and said I’d be waiting on his call.
When Dr. Stern called me several days later, he did not disappoint.
“Rosanne, I called in a favor from my buddy who produces the supplements that I carry in the office.
He’s willing to make us a small batch of the supplement we talked about for Luna. It’ll be specifically for dogs but with all human- grade ingredients and no additives.
If there’s anything that’ll work for her, it’ll be this. Give me two weeks or so.”
I thanked him profusely and held back the tears as I put the phone back in my pocket.
Three weeks later I was shocked at the results…
The changes in Luna were obvious.
She had regained much of her enthusiasm for life again.
Not only was she walking better, but she was even bringing the ball to me to initiate play (which she hadn’t done in over a month).
I gave her the supplement everyday around bedtime. And there was no challenge to get her to swallow pills since I simply sprayed the solution on her joints.
It was so rewarding to fix this problem that had caused me to feel guilty and scared for months.
I was eternally grateful to be able to enjoy quality time with Luna again.
Paying it forward
I was eternally grateful to be able to enjoy quality time with Luna again. We were taking long walks again (as long as my back didn’t bother me) and other dog moms from the neighborhood were asking me what I did to help Luna.
Deep down I knew that I needed to share this with other pet owners whose dogs could also end up suffering as badly (or even worse than) Luna.
I decided to invest my own money in to starting Pet Relief.
