Snickers has been taking your product since January of this year and loves it. He is a  year old yorkie who was diagnosed with Stage 3 mass cell cancer and was only given 9 weeks to live in December. We just went for his check up and his vet was shocked to see how well he is doing. He acts like a puppy and they found no signs of his cancer during his check up. It has been 10 months now and I truly feel blessed to have found your product and still have my healthy and happy best friend with me. Thank you so much. I will send you a picture to prove just how well he looks and acts.
Sincerely,
Tina

Thank you. I've been using your power pack and your pet mix for about a year; since my dog had his first mast cell tumor removed. He just had another removed, but I think it was there before the one on his leg but we thought it was just a fatty tumor. It tuned out that there was a MCT hiding inside.
 
Do you have any stats from users about the effectiveness of the program and the food? My dog Riley hadn't been to doggie day care for months, but when I took him yesterday the staff told me that he looks younger to them every time they see him. I think that is a great testimony, but I'd love to hear any other info you may have.
 
I don't feel good about chemo because I'm not sure it is worth the side effects.
 
Any info you can offer will be appreciated. All my dogs scarf your food down as soon as the dishes hit the floor!

Response from K9 Critical Care

Rosemarie,
On the website there are at least  0 letters from customers. They all do not have happy endings, but all of them have the same theme. Every dog was helped in some way. Some had their life's extended way beyond every prediction, some only had the last part of their lives made more comfortable. Most people do not share their stories, but I have no doubt what is happening because their first calls are in desperation, and months and months pass and they are still buying supplements and food.

This (PetMix) is a GREAT diet even for dogs that don't have cancer. My dog no longer sheds and the stool is minimal compared to dog foods that are mostly grain.

I cannot tell enough people about PetMix and what it has done for my dogs. I have three Bichon Frise, all are rescued. All three dogs come from puppy mill stock and were neglected and/or abused. My oldest is 17 yrs. old and has advanced inoperable mammary gland cancer. My middle pup is almost 13 yrs. old and only has three teeth and my youngest is 9 yrs. old and has food allergies and IBD. So as you can see, feeding them has been a challenge and has involved lots of food changes and experimentation. Oh, and did I mention that the youngest is prone to stones.
While reading letters on a canine cancer list, I ran across information on your product. I was particularly interested as I read that the product also helped dogs with food allergies. I read reviews and reviewed all of the information on the site and decided to give it a try. Instead of ordering online (as I had a few questions), I called to place my order. A delightful lady answered (without a telemarketer voice) and was very helpful. I ordered three bags on the spot, along with some grain-free treats and ProBiotix.
I am here to tell you that my dogs loved it and have been eating it for the last three weeks! I have seen a major difference in the oldest and the youngest. My cancer pup has had more energy and her interest in family activities has increased significantly. She is also deaf and blind, so she tends to find safety spots and stay there. She no longer lies around, and instead, begins whining and "talking" at treat and mealtime. Of most significant improvement, is my youngest pup (food allergies, IBD and stones). We have had NO bloody diarrhea, vomiting, little scratching and a whole new personality, like that of his younger self. And finally, the middle pup only has the three teeth, so he happily gobbles it up, without the difficulties that come with having to gum food bowl contents.
Once again, I want to thank you for your product quality and the support and information your site provides. I have enjoyed the benefits of home cooked food, without intense labor. It freezes beautifully, so I make lots in advance. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Donna

TWIMC,
I recently switched my brand of dry cat food from Nutro to Orijen, and I can't tell you how glad I am that I did.
First of all, my cat LOVES her new food, and is scarfing it down like crazy! But more important to me is the fact that her stools are now large, substantial, and tubular, unlike what they were before - far smaller, much more pellet-like, and (for want of a better term) "gooey". This is important because larger, more substantial stools help cats keep their anal glands free of fluid build-up and ultimate impaction. Anyone who (like me) has had to take a cat to the vet every 3 months or so to have its anal glands expressed knows how inconvenient this is for the pet owner, and how uncomfortable (and even painful) it is for the cat.
Thanks for a great product!
Hoping this will prove a blessed day for you, I remain . . .
Very gratefully yours,
Edward Shaw

Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for your products which have, without condition, improved Scotty's life. . .Scotty was diagnosed via catscan with nasal adenocarcinoma (cancerous growth in his left nostril) in Sept. of 2008. My husband and I decided after much consideration not to have him undergo the traditional radiation/chemotherapy treatments because we felt it would be too hard on him. That being said, Scotty's doctors predicted he would only live for another three months.
In desperation, I found your site and immediately ordered your product and the results have been amazing! Not only did Scotty suarpass his three month life sentence, but he's now in his tenth month after diagnosis, and he's a very happy dog!
Here's a photo of Scotty with his brother Charlie walking in the park. Doesn't he look good? Thanks again very much!

Thanks so much for all of your advice and help. Foster lost his battle to brain cancer on April 27. It was a devastating lost, but I am convinced your products kept him with us longer and better than his time would have been without them. Again, thanks for everything, but I am sure you can understand my hope of not needing your services on my new rescue. I am hoping to keep him healthy and cancer free for a long time!

Tom:
Snookums' lung X-ray looked really good--best since surgery according to the vet who is very supportive of what I'm doing with your products. She's eating the mix with 8 % lean ground beef, getting the Transfer Factor in her food (won't touch it as a treat), same with Omega. The Immunity capsules are still a challenge but we do them!
Earlier this month Snookums was coughing again and I was really worried. X-rays again and better yet! Sent to the specialists in Tucson who did her surgery and they agreed that these were THE BEST LUNG X-rays since the surgery in October! Our "monsoon" season has since started here and her coughing stopped----conclusion is she was allergic to something blooming or seeding. Doing fine.
As I said, cautiously optimistic, but thought you'd like to know how we're doing.
Sincerely, jeanette

Hello Tom,
I'm so thankful that I found your site and talked to you about my boxer. Boomer is doing great with the medicines and his new food! He loves his food it's unbelievable how much it has changed everything. He no longer chews at his feet his skin and coat are great and is more energetic!

Hello Tom & Jeff,
I had a concern about the last shipment of K9 Immunity. I had to throw more than 1/2 of the pills away. I open them up and mix it with my dachshunds food. I pulverize them in a mortar, which makes it very easy to mix. However, this batch, and quite a few from the prior batch were hard (like cement), and I was unable to pulverize OR cut them with a knife.
If I was unable to do that, there is no way she would be able to digest them where they would have any benefit to her. If I had not opened these, I never would have known. When I threw away so many from the last batch, I honestly didn't think much of it because some that I opened were fine, but after throwing so many from this batch away, I decided to write. Do you think because they have been on the shelf too long, that may have caused this?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kathy

Response from K9 Critical Care

Kathy,
Thank you for your letter. Because of your concern and that of many other customers regarding K9 Immunity, we developed K9 Critical Care. Within a short time we will also offer K9 Critical Care in a capsule but we guarantee this will not happen with our product.
Tom Peters

I just had to share with you and the rest of the staff. Snookums had another lung xray Wed and the vet said it was the "best since her surgery" last October. We've been on your products since before Christmas with my vet's approval. He's amazed at how well she has done--six months now and clear! Am cautiously optimistic, but so happy. She and Viva and i are walking about a mile to mile 1/2 every day. She's eating well and taking all the Birkdale supplements plus the food mix with ground beef. Immunity capsules are still a bit of a challenge, but we're doing it! I open the Omega and mix with the food.
Thanks! Thanks!
Jeanette

Dear Birkdale Pet Mix,
It's true! My doggie LOVES you! He asks to eat now by standing by the refrigerator waiting to taste you again! He gobbles you up, takes a big drink of water and nestles down in his bed for a nap. His ears are not red and no longer smell  this is after only 11 days! He has a new light about him and so do I. I feel so much better knowing his body is getting wholesome food.
Thanks so much,
Duske and Krysta

Tom,
2 weeks ago I told you the story of my 2 goldens and you asked me to E-mail it to you. We found your product while doing research on dog cancer. Our female, Amber had a very invasive form of skin cancer. Unfortunately, we found out too late and lost her 6 months after. Max is our male. He has had a life-long battle with allergies. After lots of tests we were told he was allergic to most animal protein, so I ended up feeding both Max & Amber a vegetarian diet. I now know how wrong that was. Long story short, I started feeding Max your pet mix WITH GROUND MEAT and his skin is no longer pink, his hair doesn't feel coarse anymore, in fact, it feels like a bunny, and he no longer itches. He actually looks healthier. I have a feeling he is going to live to be much older than our dear, sweet Amber did, she was 11 and Max is now 10. Thank you so much for all you do for these great companions we have.
Amy, Greg, Max & now Chita (new puppy)

Hello, I just re-ordered the Cancer- Power- Pak for our little Hattie (12 yrs. old). She has been taking the Power-Pak for the past 2 month, and I am thrilled and happy to report that Hattie is doing great. Hattie still coughs once in a while, but she is full of energy and as happy as can be.
Next month is Hattie's yearly check-up, shots etc. and she will have an X-Ray again.
I will let you know how it turns out.
Thank you for your help ,
Hattie and Elizabeth

Hi,
I placed a custom 3 month order with you last November for my black lab, Magic. She was undergoing chemo at that time and still is. You were very kind in tailor making the order for her weight and I am hoping you can do that again as it saved me quite bit of money. You spent quite a bit of time with me on the phone explaining K-9 Supplements.
I have to tell you that my dog is doing very well on the chemo and has been ever since she started on the K-9 Supplements. She is up to 72 pounds now so I assume that you would want to increase her to 7 pills a day from 6? She is also on the Transfer factor and the Omega caps. She LOVES the Immune Assist treats too that you were so wonderful to include.I have to tell you a strange story regarding the K-9 Supplements that even has the vet scratching his head.
Prior to Magic's diagnosis and subsequent chemo her muzzle had been turning quite gray. As she started her chemo and K-9 Supplements we noticed a MARKED decrease in her gray muzzle hair about 3-4 weeks after starting all these supplements and chemo. I noticed it first then my husband noticed (I hadn't even mentioned it to him). I pointed it out to my vet who then started really watching it. He finally admitted that it was true.her gray hair was VERY diminished on her face. He did not have an explanation but wouldn't attribute it to the K-9 or the chemo. He truly was astonished.
Well, about 3 weeks ago I noticed a slow return of the gray muzzle and Magic's coat being a little duller and tons of shedding. She had also been shedding very little since the chemo and K-9 Supplements which was very unusual as she had always been a terrible shedder. Anyway, to make a long story short, when I took Magic in for blood work and a weigh in she had crossed the 70 pound mark and was in fact 72 pounds. I decided to increase her to the 7 caps a day as recommended about 10 days ago. Well, her shedding seems to have decreased, her coat looks very black and shiny and her gray muzzle is going away again!!!
I can't believe it! I am taking her for blood work this week to prepare for her next round of chemo on Thursday and I am going to show the vet! Anyway, she has  or 6 treatments left and I am just praying that her lymphoma stays in remission for a decent amount of time. I will continue the supplements for the rest of her life though. I am certain of that! I will be contacting you soon regarding my next order. I didn't want to call today being Super Bowl Sunday so I thought I would email you with my intentions. I hope that you don't mind.
Thank you so much for your time,
Sally and Magic

Hi Tom,
I just want to tell you how our 10 year old lab is doing. As you know, she has been getting your Birkdale Power Pack ever since she was diagnosed about 7 months ago with a nasal chondro-sarcoma. We had her to the vet for her annual check-up last week, and I am knocking wood as I tell you what they wrote in their report: "FEELS GOOD, NO SYMPTOMS OF NASAL TUMOR CURRENTLY. NO SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS. DOING WELL CURRENTLY. SUCH A NICE DOG!" That's a quote, and I just had to share it with you. No surprise that we continue our Birkdale Medicinals.

I have now been giving "Ruby" my vizla your k9 for 1 days and the results are remarkable. My vet was expecting me to bring her in to put her to sleep. When I brought her in to remove her surgery stiches he said "what did you do?" So I showed him your K9 product plus the 4life Transfer and he asked me for a copy of the info page you sent me.
I was so glad to talk to you a couple of Sundays ago when you happened to be in the office. Ruby is like her old self again. I am feeding her lots of protein like you said. I wish I could find a good dog food so I don't cook two meals a day for her. She does not like the n/d can food. The hemionsircoma tumor was not removed, so I am hoping that following you suggestions of antioxidants and diet will take care of her cancer. I can't believe how well she looks! As far as the vet was concerned it was a matter of "weeks".
Ruby is a beautiful red Vizla with long ears and a cinnamon coat. Intelligent and energetic. I have kept her indoor for a month, so she would not bleed internally from the tumor. THANK YOU! I would like to be one more success story on your web site!

Hello Tom,
My Chocolate Labrador passed away last October. He was nearly 1 years old! After he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor, we put him on the Immune Assist for Canines and we saw dramatic improvement. Not only did his tumor shrink, his coat was shiny and full, he gained his appetite, and he even started growing brown hair where it used to be gray! I truly believe that if he wasn't on this supplement, he would have left us a lot sooner. His improvement and his prolonged life inspired my whole family to take the supplements!! Hence the big orders!
In fact, my friend's father had stomach cancer, and was going through chemotherapy when I introduced this product to him. After taking the Colostrum and Critical Care for a month, his white blood cell count dramatically improved, and even his doctor was astounded! He didn't even lose a lot of physical strength. My cousin started taking it after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She's been on chemo, but she hasn't lost much stamina, and she already is starting to grow her hair back! She is absolutely thrilled! Meanwhile, I have had some cervical issues due to HPV. After taking my Critical Care and Colostrum for half a year, I went back for a check-up and my doctor happily reported to me that I am no longer in this high risk group because my immune system has improved dramatically. It's an incredible feeling! I have to say, I also get a ton of compliments on my hair--lots of volume and luster, and I even noticed my few gray hairs that I had are gone!
Pretty amazing!
I want to thank you for this amazing line of products. We all feel safe taking them as well because it's organic and made here in the U.S. I am most grateful for the time I got to share with my beloved dog--surely it would not have been possible without this wonderful line of supplements. It gave him life, a whole year longer!
With much gratitude,
Nami

Hi Tom, Merry Christmas!
Thanks to your food and medicine, Mac is still with us ! Please send me another One Month Medium Dog Cancer Power Pack.Thank you,Suzanne

Hi Tom:
I promised you to write the story about Max. Also you see attach photos: Photo one is Max in the backyard. Photo two is after Max had radiation treatment on his bone cancer on September, 2008. Max is a 10 years and 8 months old Great Pyrenees Mountain Dog. I had him while he was two months old.

First, Max was diagnosed for bone cancer last August , 2008. Vet wanted to perform amputation on his leg in order to help him to live another 4-10 months. Otherwise, he would live for up to three more months without surgery. Well, it was a heartbroken moment for us to make decision what to do. Later we decided not to do the amputation because let him live a quality life is more important than living longer but suffering especially he is such a giant dog truly needs his four legs. No matter how painful he was from the bone cancer, he still used his four legs.
Because he was not going to get more treatment than radiation, I got help from Tom to give Max the nutrition supplement. I love Max very much and I didn't want him to suffer any pain. Max started the K9, fish oil, the factor on the beginning of September, 2008.
Later on
October, 2008 Vet found out Max had not only bone cancer (Osteosarcoma) but another two cancers: Apocrine gland adenocarcinoma of anal sac (Perianal tumor) and Splenic tumors. Because of the three types cancer, Vet decided not to do anything at all but just keeps giving Max Deramaxx Pain killer)
I can't tell you how much I cried but I insist to give him 11 pills of K9, one factor and fish oils everyday. It is not a easy job because he is too smart to spit out the pills from cream cheeses cover or peanut butter cover. But I got to be stronger than him in order to save his life.
We all thought he would not live to see the Thanksgiving but he did. He spent Thanksgiving with us and got Turkey meat as dinner. Then we celebrated Christmas Eve together.Then we celebrated New Year eve and New Year of 2009 together.
He is living the seventh month now from the date he was diagnosed cancer. Remember what the Vet said that he would have only up to three months life if we didn't do the surgery to cut off the cancer leg?
He can still walk on his four legs and we still take 10 mins walk in the neighborhood. You should see his face all smile, his tail up and he walk like flying. He even pull us to opposite direction from home while we finish the walking. He is very active, happy, energetic and alert like Guard Dog he suppose to be. And he is playful and cheerful like puppy.
K9 and Factor really works. It is miracle to us. Max takes only half pill of Deramaxx per day now and he shows no pain at all. He doesn't look any way nears to a cancer dog to us and he still eats like pig with great appetite. Of course, I give him high protein food and less grain made food.
Thanks Tom for your great help. You are a great listener and you understand.
We truly appreciate you from our bottom of our heart.

Hi Tom,
I'm writing for 2 reasons. The first is to thank you for this formula Pet Mix. My pug loves it and has no more "itchies" and has lost the desired amount of weight. He's peppy and happy all the time. He thinks he's a puppy again. We love it!! The second reason is I have been mixing in boneless, skinless chicken breast to get the lowest amount of fat since Owen was a porky puggy. Now that he's all svelte and slim, I was wondering how much fat is okay? I used about 1 and a half pounds of turkey with the remaining being chicken in my last batch and he loved it just as much as the all chicken. I don't want to cause future problems by restricting the fat in his diet too much.
thanks very much

Tom,
Here are the before and after pictures of Sweetie. I don't think I need to explain anything, the pictures do it for me.

Thank you,
Liz

Dear Tom,
Thank you so much for your kindness when I first called regarding my dog's (Hunter) advanced Lymphoma. I know I was tearful and upset and you were a voice of calm and reason. Well, it will be a month on Tuesday, and Hunter has done a "180". When first diagnosed he had several tumors in the lymph nodes of his neck, front legs, and back, he had also lost 30 pounds. He was listless, not interested in eating, and would throw it up when he did eat. He went downhill so fast, I thought we would be putting him down within a week, even though the initial diagnosis was 4-6 weeks to live.
We immediately started researching and put him on a fresh meat, broccoli, diet. And, then we found you. Within a week of being on the K9 and transfer factor, his tumors had shrunk in half, in two weeks we could not find them. His appetite is back to normal and he's back to a healthy weight. His energy level is not completely back to what it was, but almost. We also have him on the Prednisone, but I feel safe enough to have cut the dose into a quarter of what he was initially on (in conjunction with my vet, and on a prednisone taper). Words cannot say enough about your products. At only 7 years old we were not prepared for him go- especially as we have an 11 year old dog that is his best friend.
I have every intention of using your products for the rest of his life span however long that may be- but, I am comforted by the fact that he is so much healthier.
Thanks again, and feel free to use this in your testimonials if you like.
Mary

Hi Tom,
I just placed another order for Sage. She's doing great. Thanks for everything. It's just amazing how well she's doing. All she gets is a raw food diet, your pet mix and the K-9, transfer factor and some fish oil. Her Lymphoma diagnosis was over 6 months ago but even before that her lymphocytes were elevated. Anyhow, we believe in your products and my holistic vet has asked for the name of your company and website more than once.
Best,
Gina

Hi my name is Steve, I don't normally do things like this but I had to tell you my story and give my thanks.. my dog Zeke was diagnosed with malignant histiocytosis a fast moving potent form of cancer for which there is no cure in canines..in may of 2004 Zeke stopped eating and on that day I went to work thinking he had an upset stomach/ bug or something else but when I came home he still wouldn't eat so I called my local vet who said bring him in the next day, they then did the usual tests like blood work listened to his heart etc. nothing was found except that he was showing signs of severe anemia .. pale white gums. The next day I took him to a veterinary hospital where they could do a lot more testing and had the latest equipment
Also, I wanted to get him well and get to the bottom of this,by now he was showing signs of general weakness and he was getting wobbly on his legs..they suggested an ultrasound, x-ray,more blood work,bone biopsy,and kidney values be done so they took him in and two hours later came out to see me with the most awful news I could imagine CANCER my beautiful loving Zeke has cancer they told me and if that wasn't bad enough they told me it was a type that dogs never do well with and with treatment(chemotherapy) he might live 4-months he had it in his spleen and bone marrow and his liver didn't look good either ..
I was devastated here he was doing great and then just like that he has cancer,now here I was faced with having to make a decision I didn't want to make not knowing if I wanted to put him through the side effects of chemo or not,he was 10-1/2 years old now and for a Rottie that's getting pretty near his life expectancy although I always thought he would live for ever..they told me that they didnt understand much about this form of cancer being that it is so rare so they wanted me to bring Zeke to the New England Veterinary Oncology Group a specialty hospital for animals with cancer only, I was now wishing for a ray of hope.After meeting with a doctor there he did all sorts of the same tests again to Zeke and after  -hours of testing he came to me and said he did have malignant histiocytosis and gave me the same odds as the other two doctors who examined and tested him,this doctor suggested aggressive Chemo be started that day so he gave me some pills to take home with rubber gloves and instructions on administering the chemo agent..I was trembling when I got home at the thought of poisoning my loving Zeke with these drugs..
I tossed around in my head all day what I should do and decided not to give the toxic drugs to Zeke.I now turned to the internet to search about malignant histiocytosis and what I found was even more bad news most dogs live an average (with chemo)of 2-4 months and with not that great a quality of life, I now did a search on canine cancer treatments and all kinds of products started to show up and that's how I found Immune Assist.. I ordered a 360 capsule bottle, when it arrived I gave Zeke  capsules in a small amount of home cooked chicken which was now all he would eat and not much of it at all, he was now down under 10 lbs in body weight and looked really bad my heart was broken just looking at him with his sad eyes.
I gave him another  -capsules that night and continued with this schedule,after about 4-weeks he seemed like he was looking more energetic I didn't want to get my hopes up too high but I continued with the Immune assist and around 7-weeks later he was now eating much better and had gained back 8 of his lost pounds, I cant tell you how I feel inside I truly cant but I'm beyond happy!
It has now been 6-months since his diagnosis and he is back up to his normal weight and looks super his appetite is the best it has ever been no-one can believe it's as good as it is and his energy level is like that of when he was around 3-years old ,my vet is shocked and doesn't know what to say when I bring him in for checkups he wasn't supposed to be here but here he is and I'm so happy that words cant describe how I feel seeing him bounce back like this, there was nowhere else to turn and Zeke was going down so fast it was so sad to see him hurting like thatI'm amazed..thank you from the bottom of mine and Zekes heart for this web site and this fantastic product ..in this case it was a life saver!
Steve and Zeke

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your honesty, prompt help and kind words. I look forward to buying more for years to come!

Tom,
We saw your display at the Cobo Hall dog show. When we got home, I ordered the free sample. Our French Bulldog loves it! My wife wants to switch her to it so I just ordered 3 bags.
Randy & Bonnie

-Dear Tom,
I just wanted to update you on my dog Diva.
She had her blood taken on Tuesday and the vet called me last night to give me some good news finally! Her lymphocytel levels went from 120,000 down to 42,000!!! I know its due to your products!
Thanks!
Michelle

John, I don't know if you recall speaking to me on the phone back in June. My 12 year old dog, Steppenwolph, had just been diagnosed with nasal adenocarcinoma in his left nostril, a very aggressive tumor. He had several nose bleeds prior that lead us to the cancer diagnosis. The week I received your product he had a very serious bleeding episode that put him in the ICU of a local emergency vet hospital for three days. They had a very hard time stopping the bleeding. His doctors told me to prepare for the worse. They had not seen a nasal tumor bleed like this and felt it may have progressed too far to do anything about it.
At this point, he had not seen an oncologist yet. We had been referred to the University of Georgia teaching hospital and had our first appointment scheduled the day after his release from ICU. He was very weak and I feared there wasn't anything they could do for him but I drove him to Athens, GA anyway. They gave him an exam and felt if he could take a week to recover with no new problems we could look at the possibility of radiation therapy. I continued giving him the IA, 4 caps per day. I also received some other herb treatments from another source during this week and started him on those as well. His red blood cell count improved and he started feeling much better.
On our next visit to the University they were very impressed at how well he was doing. He received a full exam including ultra sound of his organs and full pre-anesthesia work up. A CAT scan of his nose showed that the tumor had completely filled the left side of his nose but had not invaded the bone or broken passed the nasal cavity. His blood count was still low but improving daily. With the exception of the tumor and anemia he was in perfect health. We started the radiation treatments right away.
12 treatments for 4 weeks, including 10mg of Prednisone daily to decrease the tumor's inflammation and Clavamox, and antibiotic to avoid a possible secondary infection. The treatments went uneventfully with very little side effects or complications. The anesthesia three times per week barely effected him.
Once we were done he had lost a little bit of hair around his left eye and had a little swelling of his left gums. His doctors were amazed at his turn around. And so was my bank accountthe cost of the treatment was $800 less than the estimate given!! All due to the lack of "usual" problems most dogs experience he didn't have. It has now been almost two months since he finished treatment. We didn't go through the expense of more x-rays or CAT scan to see if the tumor actually shrunk. But he can breath through the left side of his nose again! No more sneezing and not a drop of blood lost since July. Steppenwolph is back to his pre cancer, happy, energetic self again. This type of cancer isn't curable with radiation. About the best it can do is give him another year or two of symptom free life. But that doesn't count the help he has gotten from the IA and other herbal treatments he has been getting all this time. And his doctors said something helped him during this period they didn't expect. I'm planning on continuing those for the rest of his life.
Thanks again. IA is a wonderful product!
Sincerely,
Jim and Steppenwolph

While I can't prove it worked, this is what happened
Phric was diagnosed with fibrosarcoma. The tumor was surgically removed and the follow on therapy recommended was for him to undergo radiation for six weeks. We decided this would literally destroy his personality and greatly endanger him with the number of times he would be anesthetized, to say nothing of the fact a portion of him would be burned to a crisp. In the meantime I found your product and decided to try it as well as changing his diet to healthier foods, all in the name of trying to improve his immune system, which Western therapy was ignoring.
Several weeks after his surgery all looked well as we did not find evidence of other tumors or signs the cancer had invaded his organs. At that time he had been taking your K-9 for two weeks. I reduced your recommendation to a third, given he appeared not to tolerate the full dosage. A week later I found another tumor on the side of his face. It was diagnosed as more fibrosarcoma and surgery was scheduled for its removal two weeks later. A few days later it appeared the tumor was shrinking. Three days before surgery it had shrunk to a spot with no evidence of any mass. The Vet recommended it be removed anyway and sent off to pathology. The report showed no evidence of sarcoma!
The area is now completely clear with no evidence anything was there.
He has since gained some weight and is back to his goofy personality I am now a believer in polysaccharides and his litter mate Phrac, is also now on a low dosage of your product.
So, why did the sarcoma come and go? I suspect I have the answer to that question, I just can't prove it
Dr. R.M. Clemmons' paper, Integrative Treatment of Cancer in Dogs, got me interested in doing a lot more research on canine cancers. What I found is the Western medicine approach is far short of what therapy is available in the treatment of dogs with cancer and extremely intrusive. Potential customers for your product will find oncologists are like republicans and democrats - they don't agree on anything. So, what are they to do? They can spend inordinate amounts of money on Western therapies, with no guarantees, or try your product. They need to consider what they have to lose, if they don'tYou can send this or any part of this email to potential customers, I don't want anything from you in return. I am simply very happy you developed the K-9 product, and now have more than anything I could have asked for

Hi Tom,
I met you at the Cobo show and purchased the 10 bags of food. Just wanted you to know that my fussy girl loves your mix and I have been telling a ton of people about it.
I'm looking forward to trying the mix on my next batch of puppies.
Lucy

Tom,
We spoke the week of June 16 when I ordered the K-9 Pack and you sent a sample of your dogfood mix.
Timbuktu ("Timmy") has been on the supplements going on 3 weeks. Although I do not yet see the results others have written about, I am still hopeful. He is still eating and drinking and is responsive. Both the dogs LOVE the food (we weren't able to try it until we returned from our vacation). Am hoping to do a complete switch, but both dogs have had problems throughout the years with food, so need to check with our vet--he's into holistic treatment so I don't think it will be a problem.
I appreciate your talking with me and am glad to know through the testimonials you are always willing to lend a helping hand.
Best regards,
Linda

Hello,
I met you at the dog show and you provided me with a sample of your Pet Mix for review on my dog blog, The Ruff Ruff Review. I am emailing to let you know that the post is online now here. Please let me know what you think and also if you would be interested in providing a free bag to one contest winner from my blog. I'd love to give you another post and give one of my readers a chance to try your great food. (My dogs LOVED it.)
Have a great night and thanks so much for the sample!

We got Bixby from a rescue group. He is a Border Collie mix, about 6 years old. Extremely smart, full of life. Loves to eat. In October, 2006, he started rubbing the right side of his face everywhere - the coach, floor, walls, etc. Then we noticed redness and drainage from his right eye. His regular vet said it could be allergies and treated his symtoms as that - antihistamines, eyedrops and prednisone. No improvement from the medications. I took him to another vet because I started to notice an odor from the drainage and he started scratching the right side of his face and his right eye, so we had to place a E Collar to prevent him from reaching his eye.
The bad news was this vet noticed his face being assymetrical. Muscles were starting to atrophy. His right eye started to roll because of the lack of muscle control. They kept him for more tests. He had no sensation in his left nostril so the combination of all his symptoms arrived at a diagnosis of brain tumor. To relieve some of the symptoms, he was prescribed antibiotics, prednisone, eyedrops, neurontin. We were told to return after two weeks. On the next visit, the vet said she did not think she could do anything more for Bixby. She said to keep him comfortable. If we wanted to pursue more tests and treatments, they would cost thousands of dollars and a lot of discomfort for Bixby.
I left the office that day extremely depressed. I could not imagine Bixby being sick.
He is always happy and keeps us happy. I decided to go on the internet to do some research. I arrived at your website and read all the wonderful stories from pets recovering from cancer. Therefore, I ordered the K9 Power Pack. It did not take long for his symptoms to diminish. I continued ordering and giving him the products. The right side of his face started to fill in after approximately three months. It was after Christmas when we saw more progress. I believe his condition has stabilized. His appetite is good. No change in his physical functions. He has not deteriorated since we started the K9 products. We are now 9 months using K9. I give him 8 capsules a day, 4 in the morning and 4 at night. Thank you for great life-saving and life-prolonging products! I have stopped crying for Bixby. He is going to be with us for a long time. I am really convinced that K9 has kept him alive. I will keep you posted. I will share this story to as many folks as I can.

Hello,
As I received my regular order from Birkdale today, I thought about how fortunate I am to have found your company and I just wanted to say thanks. Two years ago, my darling rottweiler, Dakota, was diagnosed with bone cancer and had one of her back legs amputated. After one year and many rounds of chemo, I was told that the cancer had spread to her lungs and that she had 3 months at most to live - that was 1 year ago.
I thank God that I found your company. Today, Dakota is a very healthy and happy dog and our vet has no explanation he can offer. But I don't need an explanation - I know why, Birkdale. Thank you so much for giving us another year with our dog - you will never know how much it means to us.
Sincerely,- Jill

When I contacted birkdale a month ago my vet told me my dog had only 3 months to live maybe 4 months at best. He could not stand at all , I had to put a harness on him so I could lift him up enough to take him out . As he is a rottweiler this was not an easy task , he was miserable and looked sick.
After just two weeks on k9 he was able to get up by himself and walk outside, he is walking with a limp but this product has given me real hope where there was none.The difference in my dog both in the way he looks and his obvious happy demeanor has me believing in miracles, whatever the outcome I know I am giving my dog a real chance with this amazing product. I also want to point out that this company have the best deals , and treat their worried customers with kindness and understanding, which was not the case with the people I called before birkdale, I was very surprised to find how many people do not know that this product exists.but I will keep spreading the word , thank you so much.

After 14 Days on Birkdale

ps Tom, thank you so much for your help.

Hi Tom,
I spoke with you almost 2 months ago regarding my 9 year old dog, Maya.
I really appreciate the time you spent with me on the phone educating and providing thoughtful recommendations. As a reminder, her primary symptom was one sided nose bleeds, an indication of nasal cancer.The general vet and specialist both noted that it is an aggressive cancer with a 4 month prognosis. Difficult to diagnose and pin point, medical treatment would be costly and invasive with no guarantees. Also, the expectation was that treatment would only extend her chance of survival by a year since radiation is not considered a cure for cancer.
Not satisfied, I started to research the web to find alternatives. I found your website, saw the testimonials, and decided to try the Cancer Power Pack. At this point, I had nothing to lose and a lot to gain. When we spoke, you also recommended that I put her on the Pet Mix and feed her more protein (which I have used for over a month now). The first 3 weeks were tough as Maya still had frequent nosebleeds (about once or twice a week). However, her energy level was off the charts, which I considered a good sign. Her second month has been incredible.
She has not had a nosebleed for 3 weeks running now. Her energy and quality of life remains high, and as a side benefit, she is slowly losing weight on the Pet Mix (she is overweight and been trying to lose weight for years). I have no problem getting her to take the pills mixed with the Pet Mix, which I alternate making with various meats (she loves it). I'm continuing to keep her on the full dosage and will reach out to you in another month or so to give you another status. I remain optimistic that she will continue to make good progress. Please feel free to use my testimonial for your website. I hope that it will help others in a similar circumstance. Attached is a photo of Maya. She loves the water and will hopefully be swimming with us all summer long!
Warmest Regards,Mary

Hi Tom,
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know we had to have Sasha put to sleep. She developed a condition called Degenerative Myelopathy which is much like MS in humans. What is amazing is it was almost one year to the day after she was diagnosed with cancer. You and your wonderful products were such a blessing to us and without question were a huge part in Sasha living so long after getting cancer. The K9 Supplements, Transfer Factor, and Pet Mix were nothing short of miraculous in her treatment. When she was diagnosed with the cancer, the doctors gave her 90 day s to live.
One year later and after being on your products she was still the vibrant and active German Shepherd we all loved to have in our family.
This DM came out of nowhere and was just awful. In a matter of one week her quality of life ceased to exist. She was 12 1/2 when she was put to sleep and had lived a good long life for a GSD. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the K9 Supplements and your other great products are what gave us one more year with her. A few months ago we took her to the vet for a cancer checkup. They ran their blood tests and X-Rays and couldn't find any signs of the cancer that was there before we started using your stuff. You have always been wonderful to deal with on the phone and in email and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you do to help others daily.Please feel free to use us as a reference anytime.
Take Care,
Ray

Tom,
Nice seeing you at the dog show. Lucy is still alive and well. It has been 4 years since she was diagnosed with Lymphoma. Thanks for the bag of Pet Mix. I can't believe how quick and easy it was to make. Lucy loves it!

I've been using K-9 Supplements and Transfer Factor for my dogs for a few years (or longer) and I'm definitely a believer as well. Also although no proof, I really believe when I cut Rexie's and Cassie's doses back to maintenance (instead of keeping them on the full dose) is when Rexie's hemangeosarcoma returned and Cassie's started.
Cassie's holistic vet recommended mushroom therapy for an inoperable tumor deep in her shoulder. She was on them for a couple of years and the tumor shrunk down some (more importantly - it stopped growing). At the same time she had a spindle cell carcinoma on her tail - the whole tail had to be removed, so it was a good follow-up therapy for that. The hemangoesarcoma was a later surprise.
I've found the vets (other than holistic) and vet specialists (like oncologists) will tell you your wasting your money and call it all unsubstantiated hype. But don't believe them because they don't have any experience with it and won't open their minds to the possibility that something other than what they've been taught can help (or work).
Further my husband uses their people version to stay healthy. When he doesn't use it he spends most of the fall and winter fighting colds/flu/viruses - when he takes it daily during those months, he doesn't get sick at all.Sandy

I just had to send you these 2 pictures of my dog Calypso.
She was recently diagnosed with systemic Lymphoma due to a very fast growing mast cell tumor. She went down hill very fast and starting to refuse food and became very sick. I decided to try K9 supplements along with prednisone and forced her to start eating good quality raw foods (chicken, ground turkey, yams, some oatmeal).Although she is 13 1/2 and her prognoses is not very good, I have seen a huge change in her personality in the very short time on the K9. (less than 2 weeks).
Even more astounding is that her huge, hot, heavy Mast Cell tumor has decreased in size dramatically. It was oozing and bleeding and now is almost non existant. See the attached pics. I will continue to do everything for her and I, and Calpso want to thank everyone at Birkdale for this wonderful product.

Tom:
Just wanted you to know that Shadow seems to be doing fine. Thanks for asking. The last time he was at the vet they couldn't believe how good he looked. This is the dog they suggested be put down in April (its now October 14). He runs and plays like a pup. He gets tired faster but we all do when we get old and he is 10 now. I never thought he would make it.
Thanks again,
Linda

Dear Tom,Thanks so much.
The product is working wonderfully. Our dog is in remission after only 2 chemo treatments. Her lab work is perfect and normal. Our vet is amazed at how well she is doing. I told him I would make a believer out of him yet!

Hello Tom,
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful product, my baby Bedelia passed away the morning of 28 Nov, 07, she was diagnosed with Melanoma cancer 4 months ago and I was told by the vet that there was really nothing I could do, I believe your product helped her, she never lost her appetite and she was running around chasing the cats in the back yard the night before she passed away, thank you so much. Just wanted to send you a picture of Bedelia this was taken 1 week before she passed away, she was very happy but as you can see in the picture she had the cancer lumps under her ear and one big lump on her shoulder but this never affected her she was always so happy

I highly recommend this product.
Treating your dog with prescription medicines like rimaydal is likely to cure your dog's arthritis by killing your dog.
The side effects of rimaydal are often life threatening.
K9 Mobility has the best all natural ingredients and worked well for my old dog's painful condition.

Dear Tom,
As you know my dog Lucy was diagnosed with cancer in 2004. She is a 11 year old Black Lab. The diagnosis from the vet was not very good, couple months at best, so after a couple weeks I decided to get a new puppy so Lucy could help train her before she left. Then I discovered your dog cancer kits.
When I told my Vet about the pills, he looked at the bottles, and simply said well, it doesn't seem they could hurt as they are all natural, and good luck!
So I immediately started her on the regimen of pills and changed her diet. I am so happy I still have my Lucy, and the new puppy, Polly, has just turned three years old!
Thanks so much

Hi,
I just wanted to thank everyone at Birkdale Medicinals for such a great product. On October 30th, 200 our wonderful Lab mix, Brandie, was diagnosed with advanced bone cancer that had spread to her lungs. She was only 7 and my family was devastated. Our veterinarian prescribed some pain meds and told us she only had about month or so left to live. I found your site and decided to give your products a try.I had nothing to loose. At the time Brandie started on your supplements she was listless and non weight-baring.
But within just a week of starting her on K-9 and Transfer Factor we started to notice a profound change.her appetite was back and she was playing like a puppy again! Her quality of life improved so drastically that even our vet was stunned. Because of your phenomenal products we were able to spend another 13 months with our beloved friend. Words can not express how thankful we are for that additional time. I truly believe that if we had caught the cancer earlier, and started K-9 sooner, we would've had even more time together. We said goodbye to Brandie on December 8th, 2006. As difficult as it was to let her go, we are forever grateful to you and your products for helping our family friend. And I will gladly refer all our "Dog Friends" to your website as I sing your praises. :-)Many blessings for a Happy Holiday and prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
The K Family
