October 2001 Pet of the Month

Boris an American Staffordshire Terrier

As promised a long time ago, some before and after pictures of Boris and his recovery with Purely Pets Holistic products.  To emphasis the enormous difference in him, I would like to describe to you the physical history of my American Staffordshire Terrier. 

When I took over the ownership of Boris, he suffered tremendously with ear infections.  He was itching his ears constantly, sometimes sliding on the floor with them because they were hurting him and burned so much.  Often we had bloody spots on the wall when he shook his head.  His ears were always full of red crummy stuff, as well as being inflamed. 

When I took him to the vet, Boris was diagnosed with allergies.  Treatment given was cortisone and antibiotic infections, ear cleaning with alcohol which he hated because it was burning his ear wounds.  The cortisone wore off after six weeks, and Boris’ paws started to get infected.  He chewed on them so much that he had spots of raw meat on them and could not walk anymore with out pain. I also noticed a red line around the mouth and a red butt.  At that point my vet told me if I kept giving Boris the cortisone infection on a regular basis, he would probably die early.  Up to then I was always asking if there was another solution to this allergy problem.  However I could not get any information at all from my vet.  He did not know I tried several vets with the same outcome.  It frustrated me so much.  I hated to see my dog suffering.

I, myself refuse to take any kind of medication.  What’s up with that??  Luckily at my deepest point of frustration, my friend Hana, who has witnessed all this, told me about Purely Pets, which she had found on the Internet.  I gave Purely Pets a call and within a month, we saw results.  Now, it has been seven months down the line and Boris does not have one read spot on him, no itching and the nicest cleanest ears I have ever seen on a dog. 

Just a couple of months ago, Boris was limping badly.  His diagnosis was fluorite in his shoulder joint.  When I asked how that had happened, the vet could not tell me.  The treatment recommended was lots of rest, no stairs, no couch, no bed and painkillers.  Three weeks later, Boris was still limping, got more painkillers and was possibly facing surgery.  Unbelievably this cost me $450.  Desperate and once again frustrated, I called Purely Pets.  Two weeks later Boris got better and now there is no more limping at all.  No matter how active we are.

THANK YOU PURELY FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US!
