Over 2 1/2 years ago my Benny had a heart attack. The vet wanted to put him on medicine, but the side effect was he would die within 3 months. My brother went through the same situation with his dog, and choose the conventional medicine and his dog died 10 weeks later. Benny, today is thriving. Now he is passing a kidney stone, and he is back on the herbs. The Rena-Cleanse is helping him. Benny will be 15 in a few months. Now, my brother's other dog is having heart problems, and had the "heart" cough all day long. He called me to find out what herb I was using. I sent him a bottle of the Hawthorne and the Heart Tonic. Within a few days the cough went down to one cough a day. Now, 4 weeks have passed and he cannot believe the energy his dog has, and the cough is gone. I have to add that I give the same herbs to Lucy, and have done so for years. She will be 18 years old in May.

We are overjoyed that Gilly just turned 8, thanks to Amanda's miraculous products! Four years ago he was given three months to live with a diagnosis of Dilated Cardiomyopathy which devastated us. Since being on a steady diet of heart healthy supplements from Five Leaf Pharmancy, our Vet says that his heart looks wonderful on recent ultrasounds. Gilly has been such a blessing to us, and the early news that we would lose him was heartbreaking. We cannot thank Amanda and her team enough for providing Gilly with the products that turned his diagnosis around and has extended his life. What a gift you have given to us. Linda and Mike Hogan

We are extremely excited to share with you the amazing recovery, our 9.5 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bella, has made on this program. Desperate to find a natural treatment for Bella's Mitral Valve Disease, we spent hours researching different supplements and alternatives to traditional medicine.

In June of this year, Bella was diagnosed with a grade 2/3 heart murmur and Mitral Valve Disease. Shortly after this appointment, Bella began coughing more and more frequently, surpassing twenty coughs at a given time. Upon taking her to the vet, we were told she was not in need of heart medication, yet. However, in reading many online discussion forums and witnessing for ourselves how quickly this disease could progress, we knew we needed a real solution. We decided against traditional medicine as we knew how terrible the side effects could be, and wanted to get to the root of the disease.

After hours of research, prior to finding Amanda’s program, we started giving Bella: Young at Heart for Dog Heart Disease by Pet Wellbeing, Dr. Mercola's Vitamin C, Zesty Paws Pure Salmon Oil, Dr. Mercola’s Krill Oil for pets, Dr. Mercola’s Ubiquinol for pets, Dr Mercola’s Curcumin for pets, Dr. Mercola’s Astaxanthin for pets, Dr. Mercola’s Healthy Pets Complete Probiotic and coconut oil. We also cut back on Bella’s kibble and added in turkey and pureed vegetables. We did not completely remove kibble from her diet until October of 2016 as we were slowly weaning her off of it, but would HIGHLY recommend cutting out the processed dog food as soon as possible, as this seems to help speed up their recovery. Bella seemed fairly stable at this time, but still had a fluidy sounding cough that seemed to get progressively worse. We knew we needed a better treatment for her heart! Many prayers later, we came across Amanda’s Canine Heart Health website!! With this, we ordered the 40 lb canine heart health package and started her on the heart disease dose, as
well as hydrotherapy, twice a day for 10 minutes at a time, and alternated between one week of liver cleanse and one week of kidney cleanse. We were not aware of any kidney or liver issues at this time and figured this would suffice.

With Amanda’s heart disease treatment, Bella’s daly supplements (listed above) and a daily walk, Bella was doing great and completely stopped coughing. That is until our other dog began having neck issues and was to be rested for three to four weeks. Bella did not have any walks during this time and that is when we noticed her cough taking a turn for the worse. Exercise is a HUGE part of their recovery! Luckily, we were able to contact Amanda, and she gave us hope that Bella would recover again. We started taking Bella on daily walks again and took her completely off of kibble. We began giving her celery (a natural diuretic) in her vegetable puree (with breakfast and dinner) in case she had any fluid build up, upped her heart disease dosage to CHF dosage and began giving her a second week of kidney cleanse and hydrotherapy twice a day, for 15 minutes at a time. It was not long, before Bella began showing signs of improvement and was only coughing about once a day!:)

We took Bella back to the vet to get her blood levels checked in October of 2016, (the last time they were done was in January/February 2016). We were not aware of Bella's elevated liver and kidney levels until October of 2016, when we decided to look back at the blood results from earlier this year. Fortunately, Bella’s ALT was 232 IU/I in February and had dropped to 204 IU/I in October (with only one week of liver cleanse). Unfortunately, her ALP had increased from 91 IU/I in January to 232 IU/I in October. We did not realize she had any previous liver issues and figured one week of liver cleanse would suffice. Upon receiving her updated blood work from the vet, we began our second and third weeks of liver cleanse, as her ALP remained elevated. Thankfully, her BUN levels dropped from 36 mg/dl in January to 15 mg/dl in October (only two weeks of kidney cleanse). Great news! The vet also told us Bella did not have any fluid in her lungs and her heart murmur remained at a grade 2/3.

Today, (November 3, 2016) we took Bella into the vet, to have an Echocardiogram done. The cardiologist said she only had a grade 1-2 heart murmur with zero wall thickening and zero chamber enlargement! Bella is still on all of the supplements listed above except for Young at Heart for Dog Heart Disease by Pet Wellbeing (as she is already getting hawthorn in Amanda’s program). We plan to transition back to the heart disease dosage of Amanda’s Canine Heart Health program and cannot put into words how grateful we are! Thank you SO much Amanda for helping us through this process and creating this AMAZING program!!

We would definitely recommend giving this program a try!!

God Bless!

On 5/17/2014 our rescue group was allowed in to a shelter to pull a tiny Pommie the shelter thought was dying. Aside from being emaciated and dehydrated, the vets also told us he suffered from grade 5/6 CHF. We were told he only had 6-12 months left. A good friend, who is also a pediatric neurologist suggested 5 Leaf Heart Tonic. This along with his home made raw raw diet and other supplements have worked wonders. Soon he will be celebrating his 3rd rebirthday! Thank you for helping us keep our cantankerous old coot with us. I will follow up with his 3rd rebirthday photo in a few months.

I am so happy to be telling you my story. Seven months ago our sweet peanut Dana, a 5 year old white boxer was diagnosed with DCM. Between our 2 adult children and my husband and I we have 6 boxers combined. We have had many boxers over the years and fortunately have never had to deal with any heart issues. I knew it was just a matter of time...needless to say we were devastated when this happened to our sweet girl. When I took her to the cardiologist he gave her 6 months to a year to live. We talked about the dynamics of DCM. She has been on a grain free diet which of course was of concern to him. He prescribed her medicine, and several supplements including taurine. As we talked (really it was him talking, I was to busy crying my eyes out) he said a friend of his is a vet and he felt that there was a SMALL chance that changing a dogs diet could POSSIBLY STOP PROGRESSION AND SOMETIMES REVERSE CONDITION JUST A SMALL AMOUNT!!!!!!! Do I even need to tell you that was all I needed to hear!!!! I took that small window of hope he had given me and hit the internet!! I was soooooo fortunate to find this website!!! I ordered everything for her heart and followed the cooked diet that was suggested ASAP. I also contacted a holistic practitioner and got a homeopathic heart remedy to give her. Well, we were full of anxiety about her 6 month check up. She was full of energy, her coat is so soft, she is sassy and more playful than she has been in at least a year, her morning resting heart rate had also lowered to 9. However, we were still concerned. According to the vets she is not supposed to get better, what if her heart was still large? What if, what if, what if...when we walked up to the desk the tech recognized her and commented how much better she looked. Upon her check up the dr was very surprised. Breathing sounded great, the little gallop that he heard and didn't tell me about was gone, pulse in her back legs was strong. He said she seemed great and told me we could do a echocardiogram if I wanted to. I said HECK YEA!!! He got a big smile on his face and said "good". Before they left the he told me that even if there is improvement it usually isn't seen till around a year. When he brought perky little Dana back he was so happy. Her heart is extremely close to normal!!!! Everything checked out great!!! He still wants her to stay on her heart medicine for another 6 months but she has NO exercise restrictions!! It is still sometimes hard to believe that this story actually happened. I cannot thank Five Leaf enough!!! I called them several times with questions and they were so kind and patient. If I can say one thing to anybody reading this it would be just follow the program!! They have covered all the bases. Just do exactly what they say about products and dosages and I'm pretty sure you will be able to tell a great story someday also!!

I just wanted to tell you that I used your products religiously for my little Chacho who had a serious heart condition. He survived at least 10 heart attacks with my help to live a happy life for an extra 3 years he never would have had without your products. Thank you so much for helping me keep my Chacho for that extra time!

I cannot recommend Five Leaf Botanical Products (FLB) highly enough... As a matter of fact, I actually feel a strong obligation to share my Dobie's success with as many others as possible because of our experience with them. So, here goes…

At the 3-year mark, I brought my healthy Doberman, JP, to have his first Holter and Echo, as recommended by my breeder. At that point, JP was considered "being watched for early onset DCM." Then, 6 months
later, I was told he had it and that he should “start all the drugs...” (And, I’m sure that if you’re reading this review, you know the drill. But, I'm not going to focus on the drugs or the tests (which got worse and worse), I am going to focus on what worked, and the amazing power and ability of the body to heal itself so that others can experience the same amazing results.)

While researching DCM like crazy, I came across a Doberman DCM Facebook group where FLB products were recommended. And, it felt “right.”

Flash forward to today… A year and a half later, JP’s tests are no longer in the DCM range. I repeat, JP’s test scores are NO LONGER IN THE DCM RANGE. Additionally, he has a stronger presence, he’s more vibrant, his coat is absolutely amazing, he has a healthy appetite and generally speaking, he simply radiates “well-being.”

What did we do?

The entire regimen from Five Leaf Botanicals:
• Dog Greens – Daily (Absolute game changer. Both my dogs are now on Dog Greens.)
• Taurine + L-Carnitine – Daily
• Canine Heart Tonic + Hawthorne – Heavy dosing for about a year+, now on more of a maintenance regimen

Additionally, as I believe the best way to help the body heal is by using multiple healing modalities, JP’s healing also involved the following (not everything every day, but more a variety of the following things):
• Animal Intuitive – Regular Check-ins and Healing sessions – to get feedback directly from JP
• Pimo***dan – Generic from Wedgewood Pharmacy (significantly less expensive than Vet**din) – but, only the smallest amount possible and also, only because I checked in with my Animal Intuitive and there didn’t seem to be any negative effects on JP’s body. She did, however, say that he did not need to be on the Pimo***dan and his healing was not because of it. I will be taking him off altogether.
• Raw diet combined with:
o Dry Food (was Orijen at the time, but I have since, changed to a non-grain-free dry food (Sport Dog Food at the moment) because of the recent FDA findings)
o Sardines (Amazon Subscribe and Save – Crown Prince Sardines in Water - $1.15/can
o Tripe (Chewy - Tripett Original Formula Green Beef Tripe $40.68/12pk)
o Hamburger (Whole Foods $3.99/lb)
o Vegetables/Bone Broth (Vitamin Cottage (local natural grocer) $2 vegetable bag (whatever is fresh and in season) cooked with a beef marrow bone, then frozen in muffin tin. Add, water and mix with food.
o And, recently, Turkey Necks (Marty’s Meals, Boulder, CO)

Aside from and addition to all of the above, it is so important to have an intentional focus on JP being healthy and living a long, vibrant, happy, healthy life. Focusing on the positive. Focusing on him living to be 15 and still being a big ham. : )

Our thoughts create our reality.

Lebowski was diagnosed with congestive heart failure when he was 8 years old. It was unusual for his breed (siberian husky) and for a dog his size. The vet informed us that he had about 3 months to live and that essentially, it would be his liver and kidneys that got him before his heart actually failed. The vet had him on two diuretics, vet**din and an arrythmia drug. This is what led me to your website. I was looking for a way to cleanse his liver and kidneys naturally to counteract all of the medication he was on. What I found was way more than I expected. We started him on a full canine heart treatment and alternated the liver and kidney cleanses. That was 2 YEARS AGO. The vet is absolutely amazed that he has lived this long. He hasn't slowed down one bit, still runs through the yard full speed and loves following us all over the yard. He recently had a checkup with his cardiologist (first one since his original diagnosis) and his heart has improved!! The lower left ventricle returned to normal size, his valve thickening had improved. He is still very much in heart failure, but this process has allowed us to slow down the damage and even reverse parts of it! I am thoroughly impressed with this product and recommend it to anyone I can. Thank you for giving me more YEARS with my furbaby!

I was desperate to find something "alternative" to my current dog's heart treatment. Just 1 week prior to finding Five Leaf Botanicals, my 16 year old toy poodle, Tiger, was acting very strange. By this time it had been almost one year since being diagnosed with heart failure. He was given 16 months to live. My husband and I decided to take Tiger on a road trip. He had lost 3 pounds within one week, wasn't eating and was sleeping almost double the time. We took him out and he was limp the entire time. We thought we were going to lose him. During our time together, Tiger was burping and he had a very foul smell coming from him. It almost smelled like death. Upon concluding several days of research, I took and educated guess that Tiger was experiencing Kidney failure. My vet couldn't recommend anything besides taking away a diuretic for a couple days and substituting with an antacid. He seemed to improve but there was still something wrong. Despite the possible kidney failure, I decided to purchase the Heart Health package. Two weeks in, Tiger was alive, like he had been 2 years before being diagnosed. His appetite improved dramatically, his coughing was almost non existent, and he wanted to walk! I bought him a stroller in the midst of adjusting to his symptoms, and now he tries to jump out of it. He has the energy of a pup and he is bright eyed and bushy tailed. Thank you for creating a treatment that comes from our earth. I am currently purchasing the Rena-Hepara package and can't wait to see the results.

We are so grateful to have discovered Five Leaf Pet Botanicals’ products! We use the Canine Heart Health package.

Our 14-year-old poodle, Bella, has a Grade IV-V heart murmur and was beginning to show clinical signs such as coughing. Her cardiologist placed her on strong diuretics, which prompted increased thirst, urination, and accidents in the house. Desperate for another solution, we stopped the diuretic and turned to Five Leaf’s products. She is now thriving! Since using the Canine Heart Health products, Bella’s coughing is almost nonexistent, her echocardiogram last month showed that her heart is not as enlarged and her condition has stabilized, and she has not experienced any urine dribbles or accidents in the house.

We have done our own research and found that these products use ingredients backed by science to help improve your pet’s quality of life. Thank you, Five Leaf, for giving us more precious time with our Bella!

Hi my name is Laci and I am the mother of 4 beagles and 1 puggle. I adore my babies and spend quality time with them daily. However, in August of 2017 I returned home after two weeks (dealing with a death in my family) to my 8 year old son coughing (like every 5 seconds). I was already an emotional mess after losing my Aunt and went bat ballistic that I was not going to lose my son too! I took him to our Vet (in Rosarito Mexico, whom we just love!) and she diagnosed him with an enlarged heart. Because in the past he had an elevated liver count, I was very skeptical about putting him on a diuretic but, I felt hopeless and did so for ten days. During those ten days I did my research and found Five Leaf. I was very impressed with the Holistic approach because I myself at 58 refuse to take any medication (and I don't have too!). In addition, I have always fed my dogs a raw food diet! However, since Oliver had a high liver count I put him on a prescriptive "Liver food kibble" and what do you think happened? Yep, he gained weight! Of course this added to his "Heart Problem"! So long story.....longer. I submitted an order from Five Leaf but I also grew impatient because of the shipping (I ordered right before Labor day weekend), so I called Five Leaf and I got a live human being (Renee) and she talked me through everything. I then asked her her "badgenumber" so if I called again I could ask for her. She said, "I am the only one who answers the phone, you will always get me". Well.....blow me down! This is customer service from the 60's. People who care! I received my package and started Oliver on it that day. Renee mentioned "Parsely Tea" a natural diuretic and sent me a recipe within two hours, I made some that day! Now Oliver's cough did lessen with the toxic diuretic but after I discontinued it and started the Tea, his coughed continued to be abated. I am only into this program twenty ( and to date no Vet visit) days but here is what I am seeing. First and foremost my dog is happy, he is barking (which he stopped with the cough), he is running around playing with the rest of the herd (yeah!) and he looks at me with those wanting Beagle eyes and says "thanks Mom"! Secondly, I would definitely adopt this approach but if this company seemed disingenuous I would look elsewhere but this company is so caring, so concerned and so passionate about their clients/pets I personally feel like I am not in this alone (my husband thinks I'm nuts). For example, I call...someone answers. Someone who is knowledgeable and someone who cares. When I send a e-mail, I get a quick and appropriate response! This product (is so far) great....I haven't any lab results yet, only a happy dog! This company on the other hand is the kind of company I want to do business with. Customer service A++ Renee and Monica do an exceptional job representing the care and concerns of this company.
Thank you, all of you!

Our 12 year old Golden Retriever, Hunter, was diagnosed with kidney faillure in May 2017. He had congestive heart failure for three years pryor to the kidney failure. Hunter was coughing and gaging. When I found out about it I started him on heart herbs and he no longer coughs or gags. Hunter had lost his appetite and would not eat the kidney diet food from the vet's office. It was also a real challenge to get pills down him, because he did not want any meat. He was not supposed to have any protein anyway. I began spooning his pills down him with unsweetened applesauce. I reserched the internet to find help for his kidneys, and found the Five Leaf Biotanicals site. I started giving him your plan in May 2017, and at his check up in July 2017, his kidney's were worse. I made up my own recipe using egg whites (because they are VERY digestible) sprout bread, and coconut milk. He will now eat the kidney diet food, which I give him 1 cup a day with unsweetened apple sauce on the side. He also had the pancake with the egg whites that I make for him twice a day. I continued with the Five Leaf Biotanical formula because it was keeping him alive. He had a vet appointment in January of 2018. They tested his urine and the vet reported, NO KIDNEY FAILURE!!! In April 2018, he was examined again and the vet said I don't hear anything wrong with is heart!! Hunter was 124 lbs. last May and is now 97 pounds. He is not sick, but has reached a healthy weight with his diet and diuretic pills. Our vet said that all of his levels from his urine and blood tests are PERFECT. I have a new dog! He no longer runs for the water dish or urinates excessively. I kept him on the rena/potassium pills from the vet. and the fluid tabs. This program is AMAZING!! If anyone wants my program that I gave to Hunter, my email is Marcie Jcksn@yahoo.com

It was when my dog, Prince, a 9 year old cockapoo, experienced his first incidence of heart failure in January of 2019 due to a genetic valve condition and a resulting 2 day hospital stay to resolve the issue, that I started him on the Five Leaf heart program. Let me start off by saying that words cannot express how truly grateful I am to Amanda and this program for saving and enhancing the quality of my dog's life. When he was hospitalized in January, he was having premature atrial contractions, a cough. difficulty breathing and congestive heart failure. He was given diuretics and realized in 2 days. I started him on the Five Leaf program for heart health and the results have been amazing! Only 3 months later at his semiannual vet cardiologist appointment, his doctor was astounded to see the results! He had no reoccurrence of congestive heart failure, his premature atrial contractions were gone, his energy level was high, the coughing completely stopped and for the first time in a year, he did not need any additional medications! It is now 6 months since he started on the program, he continues to do very well. Also, I started him on your liver program in May because his liver values were high.

Here is the bloodwork in May on his liver values:

ALT = 345

AST = 60

ALP = 707

Here is his bloodwork after being on the program for 9 weeks:

ALT = 250

AST = 55

ALP = 586

The AST is now within normal range and the other values have decreased significantly. Thank you soooo much!!!"

I want to thank Amanda for being so supportive in answering all my questions about treating my dogs with heart failures with non-aggressive alternative medicines. She has created time-tables and suggested the right kinds of foods for both of my dogs Spike and Spice who suffer in heart failures in College Station. I realize the water
in College Station was not as clean as in Vancouver, BC and Seattle, WA. Also, their heart murmurs turned into heart failures which were only exacerbated by the toxic pharmaceutical medicines. I was in tears when Spicey was collapsing in my arm. The herbs had prolonged Spicey's life but unfortunately she caught a virus from a friend's dog so I had to put her down. Spikey's life extended year when the Texas A&M vet proclaimed he had only 6 months to live. These are high quality products, but require the dog owner's to follow a rigid schedule. It is worth it if you love your pets like they are your own children.

I can’t thank you enough for taking your time to speak to me in March. I was desperate. My 13 year old Daschund was diagnosed with heart failure on 2-14-20. His cardiologist put him on 4 different types of medications that caused his kidneys to fail. He went into acute kidney failure on 3-1-20. Rocky became very ill after a week on the medications. He had stopped eating and drinking, and was very lethargic. He was so weak and unable to stand. I took him to the emergency vet one week after he started the meds and they suggested I consider putting him down. I decided to take him home that night. I was told he may not survive the night. In my desperation, I started doing research online. I came across Canine Kidney Health website and ordered the Five Leaf products ASAP. After speaking to Amanda, I followed her advice and gave Rocky Apple cider vinegar with ginger for his nausea. I also started the hydrotherapy the same day.

I started syringe feeding my dog until the herbs arrived. I made him the sweet potato and egg recipe from the website and put it in food processor and fed that to my dog. After just a couple of days on the program, Rocky started eating!! Below are results from his bloodwork from 3/1/20 and from June 17, 2020. I put Rocky on both the heart and kidney programs. These herbs are a true miracle. Amanda, you were put on this earth to save countless dogs from being euthanized before their time. I can’t thank you enough!!

Amanda, you are a miracle worker. You have injected life into both my dogs. I have now tried every product you make and have seen my two dogs, Chubby and Molly go from very sick to almost pups with so much
vitality. Chubby has a renal and liver issue and Molly a heart issue. Both are now on your products and my vet is super impressed. Today she declared that Molly's heart is in good shape and her lungs are great. In July Chubby was seen by a specialist who gave him 3 to 6 months to live...he is still chasing bikes and he is supposed to be gone. I do give him other supplements and acupuncture...he is on quite a regime but it's working. Also loads of prayers! Molly couldn't make her walk round the block, now we go for extended walks and she copes quite well. Her panting has normalised and she even gave chase to a cyclist the other day. I am elated to have them in good health once again. Their issues are ongoing but as long as I have you in my corner I know they will be with me for a while yet. I should buy shares in your company!

I have had my Cavalier King Charles, who has a 4 level heart murmur, on your supplements for a year and a half. She just had a complete check of her heart from a cardiologist and her heart has improved from her first check a year ago. My integrative After reviewing the full report my integrative Vet says that never, never happens. She was so shocked that she told her Representative with Standard Process about Bernina and the rep is doing a case study on her. I am so happy and pleased that I found your website. Keep up the good work. I am hopeful that in time Bernie will be fully recovered from her murmur.

I cannot express in words how grateful I am for Five Leaf and the wonder it has done in helping stop and even reverse the progression of my dog, Prince's, valvular heart disease. He fell into heart failure in Jan 2019 after being put on conventional meds for 9 months and was hospitalized for 2 days so they could drain fluid buildup and stabilize him. 3 weeks after he came home, I put him on the Five Leaf heart health program. He immediately stopped coughing and had more energy. At his follow up cardiologist appointments, his heart rate and rhythm remained normal and he did not need any new medication. As of September 1, 2021, he has remained completely out of heart failure for over 2 years and 8 months and can walk up hills with no problem! His annual vet cardiologist appointment took place on Sept 10th and myself and the doctor are immensely pleased with the results! Not only has he remained completely out of heart failure, his heart size has now shrunk since 2019 and his disease is regressing. His valvular disease was previously diagnosed as severe and it is now moderate! I cannot even begin to express how thankful and thrilled I am to be a part of the Five Leaf program! It has literally been a life saver for my dog and I cannot thank Amanda enough!

Rocky is 16 and was diagnosed with Level 2 heart disease and only 12 months to live. After diagnosis I searched the web and found this site, called the number and purchased the heart disease package. Fast forward 8 month later Rocky is healthy and happy....we took him in for a check up and they could barely hear his heart murmur and all the blood work came back as great! I am thrilled and so thankful for these botanicals, I would recommend them to every dog owner.

Four years ago my little mix breed Sunday Was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was given 3 months to live..maybe six if I put him on an ace inhibitor and vet**din. I took the meds but after reading the side effects I never gave them to him. I found Five leaf Pet Botanicals and began the program. Amanda and her products saved my babies life and not only that he is 18 years old now and still acts like a puppy on a good day. I couldn’t be happier or more thankful for the day I found this treatment.

This is our second dog saved by 5 Leaf products. Penny is 16 and developed congestive symptoms. The vet gave her a diuretic and ace inhibitor and Penny didn't respond to the diuretic at all. When she finally did at double her weight dose, there was blood tinge. We immediately started Rena Cleanse and even though Penny seemed to need a little more, her cough is almost all resolved in the first week of treatment and our last 5 Leaf girl was 15 and got 3 more years. We hope at least as many for Penny and are grateful for the protocols. Best wishes.

Peaches has severe kidney disease and heart enlargement, but somehow she’s been living her best life thanks to five leaf botanicals- along with changing her diet to homemade meals, a phosphorus binder (we use renal P here in Costa Rica), and also IV fluids when she has her down days to help flush out her system. She has so much more energy, and loves her food (she was always a picky eater) even at the age of 12 she is happy to wake up every morning. We also started her last year on stem cell therapy injections as well, but I like to think it was a whole body approach to make her feel better. She has severe chronic kidney disease being hospitalized several times over the last 5 years costing thousands of dollars, a few vets even suggesting that I should put her down- but her levels keep bouncing back and she is still alive! And now we have a strategy that helps her keep her feeling good it’s been almost a year since her last hospitalization and I hope to just continue to keep her quality of life well. I wish you all the best of luck and just know that it’s never too late to try to help ur little friends, my only regret is that I didn’t change her diet sooner! Today is the day!!!

I'm pretty much amazed at the difference your Canine Heart Health products have made in my 14 yr old Shih Tzu Sammy. He'd been coughing and it seemed to be getting worse. I took him to my vet who told me that Sammy was getting up in years and that he had an enlarged heart which was pressing on his thorax, thus causing the coughing. Got the prescriptions he recommended and proceeded to administer those as directed. It didn't seem to make much difference so the follow up visit, the vet informed me that it was worsening and that Sammy had a limited time left. When I got home, I did my research and found Five Leaf and the Canine Heart Health product. I placed an order for a 2 month supply (which has actually lasted almost 3 months) and the difference is remarkable. After about 3-4 weeks, the coughing has almost completely gone. There is still an occasional cough but it is very light and doesn't last but for a second. The reviews I read were spot on and I've gotten the same results as those other people. This review is 12/22 and I'm scheduled for a return trip to the vet for another checkup in 3/23. I'll do another update at that time. Folks, this stuff works. I've just re-ordered another 2 month supply of the Canine Heart Health items. Our pets are worth every cent of their reasonable price. Very highly recommended!!

My 10 year old beagle mix Chloe was diagnosed with heart disease last summer with a grade 4 heart murmur. I see a combination of traditional and natural veterinarians. My traditional veterinarian prescribed a diuretic, but I initially only used it when her cough was really bad (though I hated to hear any of them). My holistic veterinarian heard Chloe's cough (the wet, hacking kind) and said she really needed to be on the diuretic 2x/day because she was "drowning." I increased as instructed and immediately Chloe began to urinate frequently, often on herself while she slept and she dribbled urine in the house while walking, or when she coughed (behaviors she has never done!), and still the coughing continued day and night. I took her to another traditional vet of mine and he stated the diuretic was "notorious and well-known" for bladder issues and prescribed her a heart med, an antibiotic (for possible urine infection), a cough tab and an antihistamine to help with breathing. Immediately Chloe was lethargic, barely able to stand, urinating in her sleep without waking and became ataxic (without balance/coordination and was disoriented)--barely able to walk. Her eyes were half open, coughing was continuous, slept nearly day and night and lost her appetite (which is not like her at all!) After 3 days of this erratic behavior, I made the decision to take her off all meds and immediately returned them to the vet. I purchased the Heart Health Package and within a couple of days Chloe was back to herself! She was wide-eyed (she has the biggest, brightest eyes), hungry, happy and running around the room being playful! I have not had a check-up with her yet but I am a firm believer that this blend of tonics and supplements helped her achieve relief and health, as she is down to maybe one cough per day, her appetite has returned to normal, only urinates as normal, she is playful--even runs around the block, and full of life! !! There is no medical explanation and I truly thank God for providing the right blend to this company so that no dog has to suffer with medications that would have never brought relief and caused further harm. I have additionally added the watermelon juice as a diuretic (by Renee) and I am so happy to see my Chloe as I love to see her--happy and healthy :)

I also wanted you to know that Chloe's "heart disease" was a grade 3 teetering very closely on grade 4 and both her left AND right was enlarged with fluid on her lungs. She is my miracle dog. Two years ago she had an (emergency) open abdominal exploratory surgery where they removed a 4 lb. malignant tumor and through faith and supplements she has overcome! !! She lives as a testimony and I share her story with everyone I meet. This is just another opportunity to share the good news, and I truly thank you for assisting with restoring her health. She is and will forever be my best friend, my little earth angel, my gift from God and a testimony that all His Promises are true.

Only Believe.

Thanks to your wonderful products our 12 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mix named Merty is in better health now than when we adopted him three years ago! We started him on Canine Heart Health products as soon as he came home with us because he has a heart murmur. I actually feel and our Vet agrees that his heart is in good shape for a 12 year old.

See below for a photo of him with a big smile on his face. He needed lots of blankets to get through this past winter.

Best regards,

My little Gizmo had started to cough over two years ago. I treated him with some herbal tincture for coughs, but it never cleared up. My husband &; I ended up taking him to the vet where we were told he had a heart murmur. The vet put him on the nor al heart meds, but he became distant, acted like he was depressed, he didn't want to interact with us, he just paced around the yard. I decided that I would look on the internet for another solution to his heart problem. Five Leaf was one of the places under 'treating dog heart murmurs' so I called and Amanda called back and I got Gizmo off the commercial dog food and got him a batch of homemade food. I got my kit in a few days and started him on it. It's been over a year and my little Gizmo is still doing good. He plays with our other dog, eats his food with relish and is still one of the joys of my life. Thank you Amanda, you have used your gift to bless many troubled puppy owners.

My 16 year old toy poodle, Brea, was diagnosed with both kidney failure and heart failure a few months ago. Both my vet and I didn't think that she would live for much longer. Brea had stopped eating, lost 3 pounds, and was vomiting on a daily basis. I had a difficult time accepting the idea of losing her, and began researching alternative therapies. I came across several websites, but Five Leaf gave me the most hope. So many positive testimonials from people with pets in a similar condition coming from all over the world, made me at least want to give the products a try. I called the 1-800 number and talked to Amanda personally. Talking to a real person, who also happens to be the founder of Five Leaf, gave me much hope. Amanda was cordial, friendly, and most importantly, gave me customized advise regarding Brea's specific condition.

Five Leaf has not and will not pay me for this testimonial. I am compelled to write, only because my pet has recovered her quality of life, her happiness, and is still around. I would like to see pets in similar condition being offered a chance to recover their health. That's all.

On March 2, 2012, Brea's BUN was over 130 mg/dL (way high and off the charts. The normal range is between 7-27 mg/dL), the CREA was 4.0 mg/dL (normal range is between 0.5-1.8 mg/dL), and her ALT was at 347 U/L (normal range is between 10-100 U/L). After doing two 3-week cycles of both the kidney and the heart treatments from Five Leaf, the numbers are still a bit high, but have come down so much, that my vet was puzzled. The numbers, as of April 16, 2012, were: BUN at 76 mg/dL, CREA at 1.9 mg/dL, and the ALT at 198 U/L. I have started a third 3-week cycle which will end in one week, and am confident that these numbers have improved additionally.

There are some veterinarian websites that, without having tried these products, state that they can be dangerous, that they do not work, and that IF they work it is due to the placebo effect! How can it be the placebo effect on a pet??? Plus, the numbers clearly indicate that the products work! So, my advise to anyone with a pet in a similar condition as my Brea is: GIVE IT A TRY. You have nothing to lose!

Correction, you will be short of a couple hundred dollars, but in my opinion, our little companions are worth that small investment.

Thank you, Five Leaf, and thank you Amanda, for the wonderful and important work that you do. Brea and I love you lots!

Rose is a 14 year old Cockapoo who is my baby. She has had a heart murmur for several years and recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She is on the usual 3 meds, diuretic, ACE inhibitor and another heart med. She has a horrible cough that scares me to death. I looked online for anything that would help. I found Amanda's website a few months ago and immediately started ordering product. I initially couldn't afford to get everything, but I got what I could. I began making her food and giving her the dog greens, cayenne, ginger and heart tonic. She was still coughing really bad at night. One time I almost took her to the emergency vet because she was shaking so badly. I called Amanda the other day and she told me step by step how to do the hydrotherapy. Today is only the 4th day I've been doing it and for the last 2 nights she hasn't woken me up coughing! I heard a little tiny cough one time and she went back to sleep! I'm truly amazed! I ordered everything else Amanda has and plan to follow it to the T. I'm so thrilled that her cough is subsiding. Thank you Amanda! I'm believing that her little heart is healing.

My 12 yr old toy poodle, Noah, had his way with a box of chocolates a few weeks before Christmas 2011. He became gravely ill and was rushed to an Emergency vet. They told me had pancreatitis and kidney failure (and he has been on meds/ treated for congestive heart failure and thyroid disorder for 2 yrs) They took him off his heart meds to protect the kidneys and told me with his BUN levels at 168 he would not likely make it. Thank God I found Amanda and Five Leaf.
Immediately I ordered the Canine Heart AND Kidney package. After talking at length with Amanda and agreeing on protocols to give Noah the many formulas, hydrotherapy and sub Q fluids, we brought him home from the hospital where they really did not want me to "disturb" him anyway. With Amanda, I had hope. I gave Noah the powders and tinctures 8 times a day as well as followed the entire protocol she gave with my packages. In 3 days his BUN went from 168 to 48 and in one week it went to 28. They call him a MIRACLE! There were several miracles! One is that his tongue went necrotic and the top sloughed off and the tip end broke off. They told me he would need a feeding tube but we believe the many dosages of pure cayenne pepper and hydrotherapy helped regenerate enough of his tongue so that he can successfully drink and eat! Now thats a miracle!. It has been just over 3 months and our precious Noah is alive and well. He loves his walks and in the course of a day must bring out 5 or 6 toys out of his toybox to play.
On a cosmetic note, the pesky stains he has always been plagued with under his eyes are gone as well! He is a true testimony to the power of Gods pharmacy! Thanks Amanda and 5 Leaf for your knowledge and caring. Noah is our joy and would not be here without you!

I am so grateful for Amanda. She has a big heart and was so helpful to me and my poodle Dancy recently when his life was hanging in the balance. On Sept. 18, 2011, Dancy got extremely ill. I found him lying in the front flower bed under some shrubs, I believe he was trying to go off to die. He had been vomiting and was extremely weak. I took him to the vet, where he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and placed on IV fluids and pain medication. After x-rays and bloodwork, the vet also diagnosed him with heart failure, kidney failure, liver failure and fluid in the lungs. The vet stated that he had never seen a dog with that much wrong with it at one time. He said that he was in total organ failure and placed him on a heart medicine and diuretics. He said that his heart murmur was so bad (Grade IV) that it sounded just like running water, no distinctive heart tones were audible. He said that Dancy could just drop dead from a heart attack any moment. He did not think that he would survive. After 3 days in the hospital, and no improvement, the vet sent him home for the evening with the instructions that we should bring him back to the hospital the next morning. His reasoning was that Dancy was so depressed that he felt it would be better for him to be home with his family, rather than being left unattended at the animal hospital overnight. They sent him home with a bottle of heart pills and diuretics and told me that they would reimburse me if I didn't use them. I knew then that they didn't expect him to live through the night. Dancy was so ill that he would not hold his head up, I had to carry him to the car.

After I arrived home, I knew I had to make a decision. It didn't seem reasonable to me to give him a diuretic as he had been vomiting and dehydrated. I knew the diuretic would kill him. So, I decided at that point NOT to give him the diuretic nor the heart medication. I use natural healing methods (herbs, hydrotherapy) for my family members, so I thought I would try that. That is when I discovered Caninehearthealth.com. It was basically the same program that I have used on myself. The website was so detailed and I began to feel hopeful when I read the testimonials. I actually had the herbal remedies at home as I use these things all the time. So, I started with the hydrotherapy and herbal remedies that evening. I called and left a message and soon afterward Amanda called me back and she was absolutely wonderful! She even sent me a very lengthy and detailed email on making some herbal diuretics. She agreed with me on my reluctance to use the heart medication and diuretic from the vet. I took that as a confirmation that I had made the right decision. So, I phoned the vet the next morning and told them that I had just decided to keep him at home, because if he was just going to die anyway I would rather him be home in his own bed surrounded by his family. Besides, I believed that he would die for certain if I carried him back to the vet. I had to syringe feed Dancy all his food as he had no appetite at all and was still vomiting. He was so weak that I could not put him in the tub for hydrotherapy, so I improvised by using a hot washcloth with a hot water bottle alternating with an ice pack. I did this over the heart/pancreas area, and the kidney area 2-3 times per day. I also gave the herbal formulas a minimum of 16 times per day.

It was very labor intensive, but Dancy is such a sweet, little dog and I just felt like I had to give him a chance. Besides, I had spent $400+ for those 3 days at the vet, and I couldn't bear to spend that amount of money in this tough economy and then still end up with a dead dog.

It was a full 2 weeks before Dancy would take any food on his own. But, he was up and about and getting stronger everyday. At this point I took him back to the vet so that they could see his progress. They were shocked when I handed them the bottles holding the diuretic and heart medication and told them that I never used any of it. I detailed what I had done. They were amazed. By 3 weeks, Dancy was eating like a pig and running and jumping again, and fighting with his rat terrier brother!

It is now 10/27/2011. Dancy looks and acts healthier than I have ever seen him. He has a great appetite, no coughing, no vomiting and he is pooping and urinating normally. I can hear heart tones through my stethoscope. And honestly, the murmur is not very significant. This dog runs, barks, jumps on the bed, and has sparkling eyes and a nice coat. I know this sounds too good to be true, but I give you my word that it is the truth. The vet mentioned that I ought to come and have more blood work done and x-rays to check his progress, but why would I do that? I might consider it if they wanted to do it for free, but I refuse to spend more money in a place that didn't help. The proof is in the poodle. He is happily enjoying life again: lying out in the sunshine chewing on a raw deer bone and barking at the neighbor dogs.

Again, I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you to Amanda. The LORD used her to guide me to the truth. I am so grateful. So, if you are out there and skeptical, but you have a sick pet....GO FOR IT!!!!!
You will be so glad that you did.

Amanda, A picture is worth a thousand words. Tiger came to us in December of 2004 as a rescue. He was approximately 18 months old and had been severely abused, shot, and as the vet put it "so infested with heartworms it's a wonder he's still alive". The owner was witnessed trying to scare him into traffic on a very busy street in front of his house and the good Samaritan that stopped was told he couldn't afford dog food and cigarettes so the dog had to go. After getting him vet checked it took me two months to get him in good enough shape to go thru with the heartworm treatment. After the treatment, he did so bad that I had to go back to the vet twice to get the second treatment. By this time he was not eating and I was feeding him baby food, electrolytes, and protein powder out of a turkey baster. On Easter eve of 2005 Tiger "threw" a heartworm and had to be rushed to the emergency vet clinic. These things can only happen at 2am! He again barely made it. Unfortunately, this incident put him into CHF. After draining him for several months my regular vet declined to further treat Tiger, saying that I was being inhumane and needed to put him down. I made the date and on the day that he was supposed to go to the vet it was a beautiful sunny spring day. He was outside rolling his extended belly around in the grass enjoying life and I decided then and there that if this dog had to die, then he was going to die with a few happy days in his life. With the intention of giving him just a few more "normal" days I started research on the internet. When I found your site, I new that this was the chance he needed. We went on the full regime immediately. With the help of a new vet, who was open to different treatment options, I continued to drain Tiger for several more months. Sometimes every other week, sometimes once a month. He gradually got his appetite back and was put on calcium (for loss of protein during draining) and COQ10 in addition to the "full regime". Today, Tiger jogs two miles a day and had logged countless hours out horseback riding with me. Our new vet cannot believe how great he looks and what great shape he is in. I had a full slate of tests done and he was in perfect ranges on them all. Tiger and I wanted to THANK YOU for all the work that you do, your help on the phone, and let you know that we spread the word far and wide on what a great product line you offer!

My story is like many of the others that are on this site. Tedi, my 12 year old Maltese was diagnosed with a heart murmur in Dec. 03. He was put on two different heart medications in Sept. 04, a diuretic, and an Ace inhibitor. The trouble started in June 04, the heart meds were causing trouble with his kidneys, thus kidney disease. We kept him on the diuretic, and he did fine for quit awhile. This past June he had a very bad pancreatitis attack, that was taken care of, and two weeks later he starting getting very sick again. It turned out to be kidney failure. We had him on fluids at the vet office for two days, and he seemed better. But, as soon as he was off, he went down again. The Dr. told me his time was short, and he was to have sub fluids at home to keep him going. At this point he had gotten very thin, and it was very hard to get him to eat or drink. So, I got mad, and frustrated, and if your reading this, you know what I mean!!! I got on the internet because I was not going to give up on Tedi, that's way too easy. I found FIVE LEAF and Amanda as soon as I went online. I started the hydrotherapy that night, and Tedi seemed to perk up a little. The following morning I did another treatment and again, he seemed a little better. I spoke with Amanda, who has such compassion and knowledge about the product, I knew I had to use her program. I started Tedi on the heart and kidney programs in the middle of July. His kidney function started getting a little better everyday. The third week of the program he had a set back, but Amanda told me not to give up, she has seen dogs rebound from far worse. That was all I needed to hear. Since then Tedi got a little better everyday. It is now the beginning of November, and I'm soooo happy to say, that Tedi has gained back some of his weight, has a healthy appetite and has good energy. If I didn't see his recovery with my own eyes, I probably would not believe it. He is now off of all heart medication, and strictly on Amanda's herbs.

FYI, it's almost one year since Toby was very sick (almost dead), and she is doing amazingly well. My vet calls her the miracle dog. My vet even referred someone else, Judy G., to you through me. The true test was that I brought her in last week for something else, and a different vet saw her. She checked her heart and lungs and mumbled "heart and lungs sound good," to which I replied "REALLY???" And she looked at me perplexed. I reminded her that Toby was diagnosed with Dilated Cardiomyopathy last winter, and she glanced at the chart and said "hmmm....and that's my writing too....WOW." Thanks for giving me this extra time with my precious friend!!!! She is happy and active and jumping on people and chasing little animals again!

This is how I saved my dog's life. In black and white from my regular Vet's own Patient Chart. I also consulted a "holistic Vet" who has published 3 books on "alternative Veterinary medicine" and is a regular contributor to a pet magazine on articles of natural alternatives as an expert. He gave me no more hope than my regular vet and also told me my dog's heart could NOT heal. I STILL had to find Amanda and the program that HEALED my dog's heart my self! I had also sought help from my own herbalist (of Traditional Chinese Medicine) to no avail. Bat's heart and lungs worsened. Finally I asked my Vet "On a scale of 1-10 where would Bat's heart disease be?" When he said 6 I knew I had to DO SOMETHING ELSE. The Vet was hesitant of some of the ingredients in Amanda's program and warned me against possible dangers. The "holistic" Vet said he was o.k. with the ingredients and they shouldn't do any harm. Still fearful that I might end up killing the dog I was trying to save I began, since he was speeding toward death's door as it was. Always, Always, Always do your OWN research and don't be dissuaded. If I had listened to my regular Vet's fears of the ingredients in Amanda's program my dog WOULD have SUFFERED and DIED. If I would have listened to the "holistic Vet" I would have felt like I had wasted my money, time and effort.

We are saving our dogs lives. #4 Tell others. Nothing means more than hearing the success someone else has had.

Last summer (2005), Poodle, my 12-year-old Chihuahua mix, began having fainting spells and coughing uncontrollably. The veterinarian diagnosed a heart murmur and put her on an ACE inhibitor. After about a month, not only had she not improved, but her belly also began to swell. This time the vet diagnosed congestive heart failure and added a diuretic for the swelling, but he told me up front that he didn't expect her to live until the end of the year. The diuretic helped temporarily, but then the swelling came back, so I took her in to have the fluid drained. That didn't work for very long, though. When she wasn't coughing, she was lying on her side and laboring to breathe; she was also still fainting just about every day, sometimes more than once a day. I could tell she was miserable. I've had Poodle since she was a tiny puppy, and watching my sweet, gentle little girl go downhill was breaking my heart. I found the Canine Heart Health Web site and decided to order a package, figuring she didn't have anything to lose. I started her on the medicines and hydrotherapy, and I also started exercising her by having her walk up and down the stairs. Sure enough, little by little, she got stronger, the fainting spells subsided, and the swelling went down. More than a year later, she's still with me. I've added vegetables and watermelon to her diet, and she's now able to go for a 12-block walk every day. (She still has to be drained from time to time, but the amount of fluid is nothing compared to what it was.) The vet says he doesn't understand how your program works--but he does know that if I hadn't tried it, she wouldn't be here now. Thank you!

Dear Amanda: Thank you so much for educating us with regard to Winnie's heart disease. If not for you and your vast knowledge it is highly unlikely Winnie would be running around today. Winnie was so sick with an extremely severe cough that a second did not go by without hearing a vicious hacking cough that we spent days at the veterinarian office attempting to find a solution for Winnie. Unfortunately, the cough was so persistent that we were afraid we were going to have to put Winnie to sleep because he was suffering at this point. The hours you spent educating us about the ways to heal Winnie's heart naturally made us feel we had to take the chance to go this route to try to save Winnie. All we can do is say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us the opportunity to bring Winnie back to life. It took a full week working with Winnie following your program before the cough began to ease a bit which was really a miracle because we never thought this would ever happen. By the end of the first week Winnie was able to move around a little without the continuous cough and was a little more alert. We followed the program exactly as it was written in your pamphlet and cooked all the foods for him and by the second week the cough was continuing to cease. All we can say is every step was worthwhile even though it required a rigid schedule because it is now six weeks later and guess what, Winnie is not coughing at all! In fact, we visited the veterinarian yesterday who told us she did not want to alarm us after the last visit because she thought it was the end of Winnie's life and was going to suggest we put him to sleep. Believe it or not, yesterday's X-ray showed the airway passages were no longer collapsed and the enlarged heart did shrink somewhat. We still have a way to go but we now know every step was worthwhile and hopefully Winnie's next visit will show even more improvement. It was quite strange because the doctor actually stared at the X-ray wondering how this happened and did specifically say this is unusual and not likely to happen with heart disease and could not figure out how this happened. Again, thank you Amanda for convincing us that Winnie could actually get better and we would be able to conquer his heart problem if we listened to you. Winnie is now running around the house, eating nicely and very playful which we never in our wildest dreams ever expected to see. All we can hope is others listen to you and give you the chance to help them as you have helped us. Winnie certainly says thank you also for adding time to his life and mostly for freeing him from the cough.

Hi Amanda, How nice, you remember about us:) My girl's name is Dislek (Toothy, in English) and she's doing great. I was planning to tell you those anyway: I took her to an animal hospital for a detailed examination of her heart last week. They looked at her EKG and x-rays etc. The vet -who was not his actual vet- didn't believe when I told about her past, because her heart is in a very good shape now. He said that there was literally nothing wrong with her - only, the size of her heart appeared relatively large, but not any larger than it was last year. And it's still within the limits. She has not even coughed after she took your Herbs and Carnitine & Taurine. Thank you very much for this incredible thing, we are extremely happy. Her picture is attached - you'll see why her name is Toothy:)

Almost two years ago my 13 year old Yorkie, Sammy, was rushed to the hospital with pancreatitis. While he was there, he was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. I was panicked. My Vet told me to just make him comfortable, that he would not be with us much longer. He put Sammy on a diuretic and an ACE Inhibitor and we brought him home. A few months passed, we were living with Sammy's heart problem day to day, not knowing what to expect. My Vet called and suggested that I check out your web site. I immediately ordered the package for Sammy's size, and started Hydro Therapy and followed the recommended diet. In a few short days, the package arrived with what I hoped would be an answer to our sad dilemma. I'm happy to report to you that Sammy is just approaching his 15th year, and is as spunky and rambunctious as ever. He's bright and alert, doesn't have any stomach problems, no recurrence of pancreatitis. And I attribute your Canine Heart Health Program with his recovery. He even goes to the tub to remind me when he needs his Hydro. One visit a few months after treatment with Canine Heart Health Program began, my Vet said that his murmur had gone down a degree. He was amazed, and I found that he is recommending your program to other clients. I imagined you probably wondered why my quantities increased. Two months ago, my 14 year old Lab, Louie, starting coughing. I feared the worst, and sure enough, he was diagnosed with CHF as well. I started him on the same treatment (a bit more, though!), and within two weeks his murmur had decreased by one degree. His coughing is just about non-existent now. I think we caught this one earlier than Sammy's, so I'm hoping that he will be with us many more years. I think Sammy's prognosis is proof that he will. I thank you so much for your wonderful product and program. I especially like that it's all natural. My Husband and I are even taking Hawthorne and Cayenne now! You brought me hope! And returned my Sammy.

I met Amanda from Five Leaf in a haze of tears. It was Valentines day 2004 and I'd just come home from the Vet with my Fluffy - who I'd recently adopted from Oldies but Goodies Cocker Rescue in Northern VA. The vet had just told me Fluffy had a grade IV heart enlargement and that I'd be lucky if he survived 4 more months. He was to have no excitement as this would aggravate both his heart and the terrible gut wrenching cough he'd developed, no long walks, no special doggie treats…. I hit the internet. That's where I met Amanda - who not only saved my Fluff's life but improved my Jussie's too - and not to mention what she did for me. You see I'd lost two Cockers just 6 months before who'd been with me for many years and they went to the Rainbow Bridge on the same day - talk about heartbreak. The thought of losing another one was pretty much more than I could take - So yes; Amanda saved me too. She called me and patiently guided me through the various therapies and remedies, explained diets and how to prepare them and educated me on the healing properties of L-Carnitine and Taurine and superfoods (dog greens), ginger, cayenne pepper and heart tonic. She sat on the phone with me for two hours. As soon as I hung up I picked up my poor little coughing wheezie boy and immediately started him on the hot and cold water spray, leaving him in front of the fire to dry off and stay warm I then went to the store and bought up all the fresh ingredients I could find - the dogs ate better than I did!! Amanda express shipped me everything I needed to start the healing program so I could give him a jump start on getting better.....

I'm happy to report that six months later not only have both my dog's health and quality of life improved - they are a couple of little monkeys... into EVERYTHING, constantly up under my feet, chasing up and down the 32 stairs we have in our new home in Germany , and after that first week I've never heard him cough since. I can never express how truly grateful I am to Amanda but I'm very happy to tell the world that I've got two of happiest healthiest "Oldies but Goodies" and a wonderful new friend in Amanda.

God Bless you Amanda - you have my undying appreciation for your selfless efforts on our behalf.

Dear Amanda, Thank you for the opportunity to fix my baby (Corvette). We went to the veterinarian to get our baby fixed and they said that they can't fix his heart. So, we went on the Internet to see if we could get any information and found your web site. If we wouldn't have found you,we would have lost Corvette. Now our baby doesn't cough anymore and he is very active. Again, thank you!

Five and a half years ago we were lucky enough to visit the local RSPCA centre and be chosen by Lottie, a nine year old Jack Russell / Corgi cross, as her new owners. She quickly became an important part of the family and is adored by all who meet her. During a routine check up at the vets we were given the devastating news that she had a heart murmur and was suffering from heart failure. The usual medicines were prescribed. We knew what would eventually happen as we had already lost our first dog, Dusty, to this disease.

In August 2003 we gave a home to a scruffy Jack Russell / Pomeranian cross who had been abandoned on a main road and we named Tufty. She was also diagnosed with CHF and she succumbed within five weeks of her first cough. Our vet called at home to put her out of her misery last July. We were both devastated as she had captured our hearts in the two years she was with us.

Last August Lottie began coughing and our hearts sank as we knew it was the beginning of the end. The vet gave her six months realistically, and a year at the absolute outside. Doses of her medications were tweaked and, apart from the coughing, there was no real discernible deterioration in her health but we knew what was coming.

Shortly after Christmas the coughing became more pronounced and the amount of exercise she could manage got less and less. Her belly also began to swell as her heart became less able to pump away the fluid build up. We had her drained and the meds were upped but to no avail – the fluid still accumulated quickly. In desperation, we turned to the Internet and soon found Amanda's web site, Five Leaf. We read, and re-read, all the pages, including all the heartfelt testimonials, and rang her for a chat. With nothing to lose, and lots to gain, we ordered the appropriate Canine Heart Health Programme and, whilst awaiting their arrival, began the water therapy and bought some ginger tablets.

Realistically, the day we rang Amanda should have been the day that we said "goodbye" to Lottie for the last time. She is our little girl and we wanted to give her one last chance. That was on 24th January. Today is the 20th of March and, although Lottie still needs to be drained occasionally (the last time was 3½ weeks ago), she is behaving like a puppy again. Her diet has been changed in accordance with Amanda's suggestions - she loves her new food and the way she devours the dog greens is amazing. We know we shall lose her one day but, for the time being, we have our little dog back. Amanda and Five Leaf, prayer and our, and Lottie's, determination have shown us that the vets diagnosis of CHF is not, in itself, the immediate death sentence we believed it to be and the thought of having her drained no longer fills us with trepidation. We are still taking it a day at a time but we are also cautiously optimistic about the immediate future. Further ahead – who knows, but we cannot thank Amanda enough for her help, advice and her products. The word "miracle" is often over used but, in this instance, it is quite appropriate.

If your vet has given up on your pet but you haven't, let Amanda and Five Leaf give you hope. Like us, you have nothing to lose and your dogs life to gain.

Back in March of 2004, my wife and I noticed Sassy our little half Maltese & half Pomeranian coughing. When we took her to the Veterinarian, he informed us that she had an enlarged heart. Since her heart was enlarged, it was pressing against her esophagus causing her to cough. Needless to say the outlook from the Vet was not very encouraging. They are as bad as people doctors when it comes to their gloom and doom prognosis. I guess they do it to cover their butts in case something does go wrong, just like people doctors! Well anyway, the vet suggested that she be put on a very strong diuretic to relieve the fluid off the heart and also put her on a very strong narcotic cough medicine. He warned us that the diuretic could cause her to go into renal failure. GUESS WHAT! She did! Why in the world would he give it to her in the first place is just beyond me! Hello! Well, I do know why. He went to Texas A & M University. He is an Aggie! (Lil Texas joke) When she went into renal failure, my wife and I took her to a 24-hour care veterinary center. Our poor little dog was lifeless! If we hadn't taken her that day, she would have died. The vet at the 24-hour care center put her on an IV drip to flush out the poison in her kidneys. She was on The IV for a solid week. His prognosis wasn't any better than the other vet's. I wonder if he went to Texas A & M also? YES! Well after a week in the hospital and over $2000.00 later, we got to take her home. The vet put her on a milder diuretic and also prescribed an ACE inhibitor for the weak valves in her heart. The medicine worked for a little while, maybe a month or so. The coughing returned! The only thing that the vet said he could do is increase the dosage on her medicine. In other words put a bigger band-aid on the problem. Think about it. The only thing a doctor or a vet can do is prescribe medicine or cut something out of you. They DO NOT heal! Because I knew there were alternative medicines for people, I jumped on the Internet to see what I could find for Sassy. What I did was Google {heart disease in dogs}. The first site I came to was Amanda's, Five Leaf. What a God Send that was! After a lengthy and VERY informative conversation with Amanda, I ordered the products that she recommended. After administering the herbs and doing the hydrotherapy for only three days, I started noticing the coughing becoming less and less. After the first week on the program Sassy lost a whole pound of water weight, that's a lot considering she only weighed 9 lbs! Before starting the cleansing her kidneys were sore and she would cringe when I would pet her along her back, that's now completely gone. I made sure I got her off those meds just as soon as I could and Sassy is now 15 yrs old and full of piss and vinegar, AND NO COUGHING! This crazy little dog chases the cats around the house like she is a puppy. It is truly AMAZING! Why do the herbs work? Because they actually heal the heart, not just put a band-aid on the problem. The heart is a muscle and can be repaired just like the muscles in your legs or arms. They just need the proper therapy. If you are looking into this form of treatment and are on the fence about whether or not you should try it, maybe this will push you over. IT REALLY WORKS! And if you don't believe me, I'll send you a picture of the little rascal chasing the cats. Thank you Amanda for all that you have done!

Dear Amanda,

Thank you again for saving our precious Newman. Newman was diagnosed 2 years ago with heart disease, told by her vet that she had a few months to left. 2 years ago!!

She has some of the most progressed heart disease her cardiologist has ever seen and he has always been amazed at her longevity despite her condition. For two years she has received traditional medications and a variety of herbal supplements. But several weeks, her usual regimen started failing her. Her heart rate went from 100 up to 190 and she lost a pound (she only weighed 12 to begin with!) Her breathing was labored and she was lethargic.

I was devastated and searched on-line for help. As soon as I saw your product, I ordered the entire program, opted for expedited shipping & had it the next day! Within one week, she was getting back to her usual self & two weeks later is back down to a 100 heart rate, wagging her tail and back up to 12 pounds! At her cardiologist visit last week, her doctor was amazed at the strength of her heart.

Our family is extremely grateful to you for saving our girl!!
She is happy & feeling so much better – and so are we!!

It is December 2005. I just tucked my little Tiki (16 Year old Chihuahua) in bed for the night. Pretty good for a dead Chihuahua. At least according to the three different veterinarians.

Our story begins one Friday evening in June of 2005. Tiki began coughing uncontrollably that Friday evening. It was strange because she didn't have any other symptoms. She continued all night. Saturday morning we took Tiki to the Doctor and to my surprise the Doctor said Tiki was in congestive heart failure (CHF) and had fluid in her lungs. I was told she needed heart medication and a fluid pill.

If there was one thing I learned in the medical field, once on medication, you could be sure there would be other medications to follow because of side effects. We would have patients come in with grocery bags filled with medications. I knew I didn't want my little Tiki to eventually end up with tons of medications and more problems. I started Tiki on the medications immediately because the doctors told me if I didn't she would die. But… When I got home I started researching CHF and found Canine Heart Health. I called and spoke with Amanda and decided to get the whole system. It all made sense to me. I figured I could give Tiki the drugs until the herbs got here.

Within 4-5 days of taking the drugs, Tiki began to refuse the medications, became lethargic, stopped eating and was doing some kind of swallowing thing. I took her back to the Doctor that day. The Doctor was quite upset when he gave me the lab results. With tears in his eyes he said Tiki was in kidney failure now. This was due to the side effects of the medication. He said we were in a lose/lose situation. She could not take the heart medication because it affected her kidneys and she couldn't take the kidney medication because it affected her heart. And… she had to have both or she would die within days.

He left me in the room to decide if I wanted to euthanize Tiki right then or let her die naturally. I began to grasp at straws. Tiki is not just a dog to me. She is part of my family. I called two other vets, one a Chinese Herbalist. The only one I knew of in my area. They both asked for her lab results. Both said they would recommend the same, euthanasia. I was sick. I decided to call Amanda and let her know what happened. She told me to pick up my little girl and run out of the Doctors office. She said she was sending the system overnight.

The next morning at 9am Tiki's life saving system arrived. I called Amanda and she walked me through everything. By that afternoon Tiki was coming around. Within a couple of days she was eating again, interacting with us and her sisters. Everyday she got better and better and better. Approximately one week after her death diagnosis the Doctor called to check on her. Ironically enough Tiki was outside flopping upside down in the grass like she used to do. When I told the Doctor, he was completely confused. Happy but confused. I must admit I took and still do take one day at a time. This system is not like a medical take a pill and you are better. It's a lifestyle change. My husband's and my life have also changed. We had to change eating habits, recreational habits and this also bled into my business. We started giving Tiki 10-15 herbs a day, two or more hydrotherapy treatments on her heart, and constantly monitoring her heart rate, her water intake, how much she was urinating, how many bowel movements she was having and completely changed her diet. She improved dramatically everyday. She even had constipation problems that were now completely cleared up.

After three months, I took her back to the Doctor. First of all he was amazed she was alive and looking great!!! They ran the labs and it was amazing. The two labs that were imperative were the BUN and Creatinine levels. The BUN level back in June should have been no more than 24 hers was 144. The normal Creatinine level should have been no more than 1.8 hers was 4.2. When we went back to the Doctor in September her BUN was 44 and the most important, the Creatinine was 1.7. The Doctor was amazed. He said he had never seen anything like it. Absolutely no drugs touched her body! The Doctor said it was probably just a miracle. Sad Huh?!

I showed him the treatment schedule and gave him all of the information on the Canine Heart Health system. His reaction was, "I just don't have the energy to learn anything more.". I was sad for him and his patients. He had an avenue that could have saved someone else's family member and decided it was too much work for him. How many other doctors feel this way. How many alternatives remedies are out there but they just don't want to listen. I told him I would take the place of the liaison and get them to Amanda and he still said no. I then contacted the Chinese Herbalist Doctor that agreed with him to euthanize Tiki. Someone had to believe in this program and incorporate it into their practice. This Doctor also said it was probably a miracle because she had most of the herbs I told her I was giving Tiki and said they could not have done what I said.

That made it even more clear that you can't just give one herb, it is a system that works together. The medical profession sees each organ separately and each symptom as a separate entity. They try to address the symptom and never get to the root of the problem. Amanda's system addressed the whole body, not just the heart. I believe that's why it worked for Tiki.

About five months into her healing treatment, I decided to try to put her back on regular dog food. I called the companies to check on the sodium levels. Avoiding sodium is imperative. I learned everything from Amanda. I found a "high grade, all natural" commercial dog food and gave it to her for one week. In one week she spiraled downhill. Thank goodness for Amanda, she has taught me well. I began to do all of the things again such as feeding watermelon (an excellent natural diuretic), increasing her doses of Rena-Cleanse formula (which I continue to use for it's diuretic properties) and Cayenne pepper and Ginger. Adding more hydrotherapy and changing her food back to homemade. Within two days she was back to normal.

It's been six months now. She is down to six herbs a day and two hydrotherapy treatments a day. She plays more now than she did before she got sick. She is much healthier than she has ever been. Her heart sounds better. I still have to be careful with sodium intake period, too much and her blood pressure and heart rate will increase and if the heart can't keep up with the blood flow it will start backing up into her lungs again and cause more problems. I learned all this from Amanda. There was not a Doctor around that would take the time to teach me and that had a solution to the problem. They had plenty of drugs with plenty of side effects, but Amanda used everyday whole foods, herbs and a love for my Tiki to deal with each challenge. I am so thankful I met her. She has truly changed my life.

Since meeting Amanda, my little girl has had six months of life she would not have had, our eating habits and own healing habits have changed dramatically. I have become a vegetarian. I own a small hair salon and have completely changed all of the chemicals I used to natural Organic products. All of the products I sell are Organic. Now people know me as the "Herb Chick". Most of my appointments entail answering questions for people about what herbs help what ailments. I have also contemplated going to school to become a Master Herbalist like Amanda. She has so much knowledge it's amazing. I don't know what I did to deserve meeting someone like her.

I took a big leap of faith when I ordered this whole system but I thought what do I have to lose. It's only money. It has been the best decision of my life. I still have not met Amanda in person, but I trust her completely. When one of the girls is not feeling well, I call her. She seems to know more than the Doctors. Is the money I paid worth it? What would I pay for the health of my family? They money I paid is nothing compared to having my family here with me and healthy. I am so glad I took that leap of faith. Not only have I met someone that helps me with my girls health but has a heart of gold and I just love to be around someone with that kind of love in their heart.

For 13 years we have takin the best of care i believed of the best dog ever,Taz. At the age of 10 was coughing or choking when he lay a certain way. We as always, trying to take the best of care, took him to our vet. Heart disease was the diagnosis. Of course whatever it takes meds meds and more meds. I have to say i always hated to see all the stuff he took a diuretic 3 a day, an ACE inhibitor 2 a day, 2 a day cough tab, 1 a day thyrossin all taking their toll on his kidneys. Not to mention all of the steroids he has been given for the allergies over the years.

All seemed to be stable till Sept of 05. We left for a vacation for 4 days and as always we left Taz in grandma's hands. Well my wife called to check on things each day. Well Taz wasn't eating but that's how he has always protested our leaving him for any log time. He was only drinking alot of water. So we were already coming home we got the usual happy greeting from Taz. So we started to see if he would eat and he acted like he wanted to but as soon as he did eat a little up it came. This scared us, this is not Taz. So after a few more days and again going to the vet we were told kidney disease after a blood test. We were told the heart disease was under control but the kidney disease WILL KILL him.

This absolutely crushed us we again decided as long as he is not suffering we'll do it. So fluids daily till he started eatin again. So in Nov he was back to eatin and actin a little better. The hole time we were prayin for him to make it till each of our Bdays in Nov then before Xmas it happened again. We was told that we had to go back to fluids every day. Well we tried this but nothing they tried was working. We were losing him so i started checkin the net for k9 kidney disease and found this site. Skeptical to say the least but kept it in mind. After a few days the vet was leaving the next day for vac says to us if you need us we'll be ready to help. Meaning put Taz down knowin it's close to time since he has went from 16lbs to 11.9. This told us what we were thinkin already but couldn't say.

So when we got home i told my wife we had to try this treatment or that's it. I could not put my best friend through much more. We agreed that if this did not work we would have tried everything. So i spoke to Amanda and filled her in on Tazz's condition. I asked if it was too late and she replied if he's breathing it's never too late to try. So we ordered everything and began treatment, Taz still didn't eat so we would force feed him. After each week he would act a little better but not eat, i felt almost like he forgot how. So one day while force feeding him i said Tazz if you don't start eatin on your own we are startin to lose hope in tryin.

That next day i returned home from pickin up a fast food meal at Mcd's. Well Taz went nuts on the smell, well if he would take any thing he could have it. He inhaled my sandwich we were so happy to see this. Hope had returned w/ the name of Amanda Banting my dogs guardian angel because hope was gone my dog was gone till we tried this life changing, eyeopening treatment .

Taz has been doin great and the other day the vet said he looked 5yrs younger. She cannot explain Tazz's recovery but as of now he is off all prescription meds unbelievable as the vet said after we broke that news after the 5 yr comment. She said oh my, i must keep an eye on his heart my wife said not really he's been off of them for months, her jaw dropped. The sad thing is are all the people we see come in and out of the vet and with the same problems without ever even the word of this alternative treatment SAD.

So if anyone me or my wife can get through to PLEASE BELIEVE IN AMANDA SHE WILL DO NOTHING BUT HELP YOU GIVE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER A CHANCE.

My 14 year old teacup Yorkie, Ariela collapsed from severe congestive heart failure in October, 2011. The vet cardiologist put her on a diuretic & a number of other meds, but said she was doomed to keep collapsing in heart failure. I put Ariela on this canine heart health program and slowly was able to wean her off all medication. She is as frisky at a puppy today, (April, 2014!)! Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

Veterinarian's Name:

We adopted our little 15 yr old Miniature Pincher/Chihuahua Shana, 2 yrs ago. She came to us with an enlarged heart, a bad cough due to her heart, low functioning kidneys and she was somewhat weak. At the time we thought we were going to lose her. My wife Hildy did some intense research and found Five Leaf Pharmacy on line. We changed her food to a raw diet and ordered a Canine Heart Health Package from Five Leafs. Within less than 2 weeks we could see the positive change. She was alert, cough was gone and felt much, much better. We continued with the herbs for 2 years and what a joy it was to see her perky and well. Sorry to say that we lost our Shana this past May. Her organs shut down but she lived to a ripe old age of 17. Thanks to Five Leafs, we were able to add 2 more years to her sweet life. Thanks FL.

Cody my 10-year old Pomeranian had been coughing a lot for several months especially at night. I have owned Pomeranians my whole life and in the back of my mind, I had a sneaking suspicion that he may have heart disease coupled with a collapsed trachea. Both conditions common to the breed. I believe I was partially in denial because I just couldn’t believe my spunky, playful little ball of fur was getting older. I have always fed him grain-free kibble and raw or something like Primal. I tried just about all the natural treatments for collapsed trachea I could find and nothing seemed to help. He was even coughing after getting up from a nap. On Independence Day weekend 2018, I took Cody to a veterinary clinic that advertised that they offer holistic veterinary medicine, however our case was assigned to a conventional vet who immediately suspected heart disease and ordered x-rays. Now, I knew from Cody’s regular vet that he had a slight heart murmur last year when I took him in for an exam and rabies vaccination. What I didn’t know until that day was how fast his heart murmur had progressed to a grade 3. The x-rays also revealed his heart was enlarged and that he had ascites. The vet prescribed an inodilator heart med and a diuretic and sent us home even though I stated that I wanted a holistic solution. She told me that we needed to try the pharmaceuticals first and then we might be able to get him down to only taking the diuretic. She then also prescribed Ubiquinol 50 mg. Her prognosis was that Cody might have a year. We were basically sent home with a death sentence. This was my best friend, a part of my family! I couldn’t accept this diagnosis, prognosis or treatment plan. I had to do better for my baby! Prior to starting the pharmaceuticals, Cody was still running outside with me, eating well, jumping up and down and running up the stairs in my house. He just had that awful cough. I started him on the pharmaceuticals immediately and changed his diet to a completely raw food diet. I also began keeping a diary to monitor his condition and any changes. That night, we both slept better because the diuretic had reduced the water retention and he didn’t cough as much. The next day though, he became so weak and listless I was alarmed. He couldn’t make it up the stairs or even up the curb on our walk! Of course, I called the vet and they told me to reduce the dosage of the inodilator heart med for a week and then go back to the full dose after that. I reduced the dosage and Cody improved somewhat. The more research I did though, I became increasingly concerned with the damage the pharmaceuticals could be doing to his liver and kidneys. When it was time to return to the full prescribed dosage of the heart med, I was so paranoid that I installed a camera in my home so that I could watch Cody while I was at work. The same thing happened and now his cough was back to where it was before we started the drugs. Additionally, his appetite had slacked off. I called the vet and she was on vacation. The receptionist said that they would have another vet on staff call me that day but no one ever did. I was very upset and worried. It was that day that I did extensive online research looking for some type of holistic treatment. I just knew there had to be something out there. That is when I stumbled upon Five Leaf’s Canine Heart Health website. I truly believe that God led me to your site as I had been praying so hard. After reading every one of the reviews including Amanda’s story, I knew that we had to try the program. I was scared but I reasoned that we had nothing to lose except the pharmaceuticals leading my baby to more suffering and a hastened demise. That evening I decided to take him completely off the heart med and just use the diuretic until I spoke with the vet. I even administered his first hydrotherapy session. I had to call back to the clinic the next day and I spoke with the vet that practices holistic and conventional veterinary medicine. I told him that this was serious and that it was a life or death matter and that I was very upset that the clinic had so little empathy that a vet could not return my call the same day! He agreed with me and asked me who I spoke with that took the message. At this point, I wasn’t concerned with blame. I proceeded to tell the vet that I was taking Cody off the heart med and the diuretic, giving him hawthorn and some other heart herbs, feeding him a raw diet and giving him hydrotherapy twice a day. Surprisingly, he understood but warned me that the hawthorn would take longer to help his heart and that I needed to be vigilant about monitoring his heart rate and breathing. He even agreed the hydrotherapy would be helpful. He never once told me that it was possible to heal Cody’s heart. I ordered Five Leaf’s Heart Health package the next day and selected shipping by Fed-Ex. I was still very concerned and even though I chatted with Renee, I needed to speak with someone. We arranged a phone call and I can’t tell you how much speaking with her eased my mind. She answered all my questions and even told me that I could give Cody parsley tea and watermelon juice as a natural diuretic. She even showed empathy! The products arrived lightning fast and we started them right away. Almost immediately, Cody began improving. His cough was getting better, his appetite came back and he was running up the stairs again! Fast forward to Labor Day weekend 2018. I had to go out of town for the weekend and had my next-door neighbor watch Cody while I was away. When I returned, I found that my refrigerator had quit and Cody must have eaten some tainted food because he was throwing up and had runny stools. I took him to the emergency vet at 3 AM. I explained to the vet what I thought had happened. She did a full exam on him and told me that he was doing fine now. She prescribed Cerenia for the nausea and an antibiotic. Here’s the kicker…she said that his heart sounded good and strong and that his heart murmur was a grade 2! Wow! From the middle of July to the first of September his heart murmur went from a 3 to a 2! I told her about the Five Leaf program and she said if it’s working, keep him on it. It was not long after this I spoke with Renee about detoxing Cody’s liver and kidneys. I ordered the Rena-Cleanse and Hepara-Cleanse and Renee gave me the instructions for doing a detox. After administering the detox, Cody energy skyrocketed and his appetite improved even more. He was literally jumping almost as high as the countertops when I was preparing his food and he’s a tiny Pomeranian! Around the first of October, I took Cody to his regular vet because I wanted her to do an exam and a kidney and liver panel so we would at least have a baseline. She took his blood for the panel and then performed the physical exam. After listening to his heart, I asked her how it was. She said that she could barely hear a murmur and that it was a grade 1 to 2! She even said that he had lost weight. He was 8 pounds and was down to 7.5 pounds. I was so floored I immediately began telling her about the Five Leaf program and how long Cody had been on it as she still believes that there is no healing CHF or heart murmurs. She was amazed. Her vet tech in the front office overheard our conversation and had to ask me about the program when I came out of the exam room. On the way home, I chatted with Renee and shared the good news! I thanked her, Amanda and everyone at Five Leaf for saving
my little guy. He’s my world! Word of mouth. Since then, I tell everyone I know about the program. If it helped my Cody, it can certainly help someone else’s baby. Never, ever give up.

In January of 2017 I took My little rescue mutt ,Sunday, to the vet for his annual Check up.It was also time for a dental cleaning.His Doctor Jennifer at Pet Vet Gave him all the necessary tests and told me he was in heart failure.I asked what that meant and she told me it was bad and he probably had only about three months to live.Of course I was upset and asked what could be done.She prescribed vetmedin And enlanapril,but after reading the side effects I decided I didnt want to go that way,even tho she said it might buy him another few months. I did some research and found “canine heart health, “Put him on the formulas and It will be three years this coming January and he is still with me, happy and active.

People stop me and ask what breed he is and think he is a puppy! I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for Amanda and the treatments.Sunday will Be 17 this October,and is doing amazingly well. This was answer to my prayers!!

Heidi just celebrated her 17th birthday - perky and bright! In the Spring of 2011 I grieved with the realization that she was struggling through what were undoubtedly her last days. For many months, I had believed the growing signs to be simply old age- sleeping all day, lack of any energy, pot belly, increased thirst - then the wracking cough. Knowing that coughs can indicate heart issues I did a little (hopeless) digging on the net- wanting to make her remaining time as comfortable as possible. Although highly skeptical (and told by family that I had to give up false hope) I ordered a treatment package for heart health and immediately a) switched to making her food and b) initiated the water therapy treatments. Within ONE WEEK- before her supplements even arrived- there was a noticeable improvement- she seemed to be rousing a bit! With the addition of the supplement tonics Heidi- over the course of about 5 months- gave up the excessive drinking and lost her little pot belly; QUIT the cough (!!!!) and started spending her days awake and downright perky again! Amanda was so knowledgeable and kind in advising me over the phone- Heidi and I both owe her our current quality of life, and remain die hard customers for life. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!
