Real People Share Real Experiences It has always been Dr. Harvey s mission to help animals find and maintain good health by using only real foods and our natural products. Nothing is more rewarding than hearing from guardians who want to share their companion s journey of recovery. They want to share their stories not only to say thank you, but also to help other pet parents find a way to help their companions. Many feel they have experienced a miracle. It is our hope that this little book will offer helpful information to those pet parents who need it. These are only a few of the many, many stories that we have received. These letters describe the helplessness that pet parents can feel when they have lost hope of finding an answer for their beloved friends. That hopeless feeling quickly turns into delight, as they see their companion s health improve. Knowledge is powerful and as you will see from these letters, sometimes just a small change in diet can yield dramatic results. We are happy to share a few of these wonderful stories with you. Health begins in the kitchen. Dr. Harvey If you have any questions regarding a specific health challenge facing your dog, or just want to say Hi we d love to hear from you!

This Food Has Changed Our Lives - I Love Your Products Name Brodie Health Issue Chronic Diarrhea I have only recently heard of your company. I actually first tried your Healing Cream on one of my Westie s hot spots. Not only did this cream seem to comfort her, but it actually worked.almost immediately, the inflamed pink skin had settled down. I love that I can see the veggies! It only takes 8 minutes to provide her with a warm and healthy meal. I m not the sort of person to send off letters to companies full of praise, but I felt I had to write to you. This led me to your products and a solution for my 15 year-old Westie, Brodie. She had been diagnosed with chronic colitis. We were advised to give her a bland diet and sprinkle unflavored Metamucil on her food. Well, my common sense should have kicked in at that point, but I went along with what he said. In the process, Brodie became sicker and sicker with constant diarrhea. She dropped from her normal 15 pounds to 11, and I became very concerned. Finally an Answer-Back to Her Normal Self and No Drugs! I ordered a bag of your Canine Health. What a huge difference this has made! She is now thriving, gaining back some weight, no more diarrhea or stomach pains. I love that I can see the veggies in the mix and that it only takes 8 minutes to provide her with a warm and healthy meal. She is back to her old self, and off the Metronidazole completely. Thanks again, and I will continue to use your products and recommend them to others.

Thank you! I Can't Believe it! Name Lucy Health Issue Digestion, Picky Eater I have a 5-year-old Shih Tzu, Lucy, who has always been a picky eater. Not only that, she s had stomach issues all her life everything I ve fed her has given her vomiting fits and diarrhea. I found a bland kibble that she seemed to like, but never really ate all of it and would occasionally vomit, though the diarrhea subsided. She slept a lot, and it was obvious when she wasn t feeling well. My picky Lucy, who hated just about everything I fed her, literally ate AROUND the kibble to get to the Dr. Harvey s mix. I was as skeptical as it gets about making the switch to your food. I was worried about the expense, the time, the commitment of making her dinner every night but now I m never looking back. I met a woman named Barbara. We got to talking about our dogs, and I complimented her on how happy her dog seemed to be. She said, it s the food. She continued, most dog foods are chock-full of chemicals and preservatives, and these things can negatively impact the health of any dog. *She recommended Dr Harvey s food, saying that it s the best thing she s ever done for her dog. I went home and stalked your website, watching the videos and reading the testimonials, I caved and bought a small bag of Veg-to-Bowl, just in case Lucy didn t like it. It s all in the food. I m telling everyone I know about how awesome Dr. Harvey s food is my Lucy is living proof. Now I believe what Barbara had told me it s all in the food.

Fifi Was A Very Sick Dog Name Fifi Health Issue Heart, Kidney, Ear Infections When I first got my little Fifi 6 months ago (she is a 4.5 lb Pomeranian) she was in bad shape. Fifi is a retired show dog who I got from a breeder. My heart sank when the vet told me Fifi had kidney disease and was spilling large amounts of protein in her urine. She also had high blood pressure, a thyroid condition, an enlarged heart and an ear infection. My heart sank when she said, This is serious. Fifi is a very, very sick dog. If you don t want to spend thousands of dollars on her treatments then you might as well just return her to the breeder. I didn t want to give up on Fifi. My heart sank when the vet said, "This is serious. Fifi is a very, very sick dog". Fifi had kidney disease and was spilling large amounts of protein in her urine. She also had high blood pressure, a thyroid condition, an enlarged heart and an ear infection. Since we have been giving her the Dr. Harvey s food, Fifi has improved tremendously! All of her kidney lab test results are within healthy range, her blood pressure is normal, and her chest x-rays show no sign of an enlarged heart. Additionally, she has never had another ear infection. Dr. Harvey s diet IS her primary medicine. I am completely impressed by the company.unfortunately, my vet did not agree with me feeding Fifi Dr. Harvey s diet and wanted me to give her the special canned kidney dog food. Dr. Harvey s diet IS her primary medicine. After all her lab results came back normal, however, my vet could no longer; the proof was in the test results. I am blown away by this company. I can t thank Dr. Harvey and the entire company enough! I will feed this food to my dog for the rest of her life.
