A Pain-Free Sweet Pea - McDowell's Herbal Treatments

Sweet Pea is a 10 year old husky rottie Mix. My husband and I were involved in a dog rescue. Sweet Pea is one of the dogs that came in for adoption. We were fostering her and she was so sweet that we couldn't give her up.

We learned that Sweet Pea's hips were very bad and at the same time as learning that she had a cruciate tear in her knee. We had the torn cruiciate repaired, but have not had hip surgery performed on her hips.

Our vet at the time provided a prescription of Bute for both Sweet Pea and our older dog who also had join pain as he was several years older than Sweet Pea. Both of them took the Bute for a couple of years and it seemed to help the pain.

A blood test revealed that Sweet Pea's liver had deteriorated. Our previous vet had retired and the replacement vet indicated that it was conceivable that the Bute had caused the liver deterioration. It became so bad that her black fur began to have white spots in it and her nose turned from black to white with black webbing.

I immediately took Sweet Pea off of the Bute and looked for alternates for her pain without affecting her liver.  I emailed McDowells couple of times and they recommended the Arthritis and Rheumatism program. In addition, she gets SynoviG3 which is a combination of glucosomine and condroitin. Between the A&R and the SynoviG3, she doesn't run like the wind, but the majority of time does not appear to be in pain.

In the interim, Sweet Pea's liver has improved dramatically probably about 50%. I have been giving her Milk Thistle every day for this.

I have been a customer since 2006. Over the last few years, I have a number of times recommended McDowells to dog owners. Some have ordered the products with happy results.

Thank you for your interest.
