"Thanks for making it easier to continue to enjoy my 'special needs' girls!"

Being that this is invasive surgery, I decided to wait and see whether steroids and acupuncture would help. Slowly, she started to come around and our regular veterinarian recommended supplements. We now buy, from SmartPak Canine, Ester-C, Fish Oil Plus, Vitamin E, Grand Mobility, Canine Plus, and we recently added CoMalQ10. I like the fact that they are formulated specifically for dogs and are more palatable – meaning she doesn’t spit them out because of the taste.

The supplements have made a huge difference. We now regularly walk to keep her healthy and she does this with very little restriction in her hind end and no detectable pain. She can even play fetch again.

My 12.5 y.o. Pembroke Welsh Corgi is also on a SmartPak regiment to support his well-being through the senior years. I’m sure my 4 mo. old little one will also benefit from your products as he matures.

SmartPak also helped Daisy recently when she received two artificial lenses. The Comfy Cone was her best friend since she had to wear it for a month. Daisy is now able to see, play, and feels better than ever thanks in part to SmartPak.

Lilly, our middle aged dog, has an impossible stomach. We tried everything for her including taking her to the vet who advised we give her Prevacid every day. Not only is her stomach an issue but she also has horrible allergies. Her poor face swells like a balloon every spring and fall. SmartPak seemed like the only solution to our growing list of issues with her. After speaking with a Customer Service rep she was put on Wellness Super5Mix Complete Health Whitefish and Sweet Potato Recipe, as well as Probios and Source Plus for Dogs. I am more than happy to say she no longer is sick and her allergies are much less severe than they’ve ever been. If we had not put her on this regime who knows how long she would have been miserable. Lilly is definitely a big fan of her SmartPak food and she has no issues eating every bit of it.

Gordon, our youngest, is not only a big fan of his Wellness Core Original Dog Formula but he is in love with his Chew Guard Baby Dragon. Although he did manage to de-stuff it! He takes it everywhere with him, it is the cutest thing. We always make sure we have reserve dragons in the closest for him. When he is not playing with that, he is in the back yard with his Jolly Ball running as fast as he can.

SmartPak has not only simplified dinner time but they have also managed to make each of our dogs healthier and happier. Before SmartPak we had to beg our dogs to eat. Now there is no problem when dinner time arrives, it is the quietest part of the day.

The vet put him on Previcox for pain and a Glucosamine/Chondroiton supplement, but 6 months later he was even worse as his leg had atrophied severely from non use, even though I was doing physical therapy with him. He did not want to put weight on his right hind leg at all. We were making arrangements to have acupuncture and then hip replacement, but I kept seeing an ad for Cetyl M Pet Tabs on RFD-TV and thought why not give it a try. What's another $35 after all we had spent and were going to spend?

This is hard to believe, but true...he had stopped limping entirely within 4 days. That was about 8 months ago, and he has not limped since. He enjoys our walks, and romps freely galloping around the yard with the younger dogs and "helping" us do yard work. The vet said we were "lucky" as the results were not typical. Lucky or not, it's amazing stuff and Wilson will be on it for life!

In the end, we decided Jenna was a gift from God; we raised her alongside our kids and worked hard on her training. She is now an Autism Assistance Dog for my 7 year old daughter and has been VERY therapeutic for my 3 year old son who has also been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum. I had no idea a little over 2 years ago when I carried this little black puppy home I had found my family’s four legged hero who would allow us to live a more ‘normal’ life by assisting us when Serenity becomes overwhelmed by her surroundings. We had been afraid to leave the house because of the severity of Serenity’s meltdowns.

I had been looking at SmartPak for a while. However, the notorious procrastinator and busy mom that I am, I didn’t get around to it and continued to buy food from where I had always bought it and the same with my supplements. I went into the store to buy my girls’ joint supplement and they were sold out. Mind you, this store takes me an hour just to drive to, so I couldn’t justify driving back in a few days to pick it up. I ordered my first SmartPaks after that and when they arrived I saw how easy it was for my kids to feed the dogs. No more waiting for mommy to dose it out then hand the cup to them to dump it. My kids can rip off the label themselves and dump it on the food and they feel so proud that they can do it all by themselves. When it was time for autoship, I went ahead and added PortionPaks and even the heartworm medication my dogs get. So now, every 28 days, it comes automatically and I don’t have to drive an hour into the city anymore and risk them not having what I need. The best part is that it has made it so my children, who are both developmentally disabled, can feed and care for the dogs with minimal assistance from me. Both of my dogs are on SmartPaks, they eat a rotational diet of Wellness food (I change the order every month), and we use Wholistic Pet’s Canine Complete Joint Mobility and Interceptor.

Being that Sir Lance is my K-9 assistant, I feel he needs to be in top health at all times. He’s only three years old, with a lot of years to go, and I want to give him the best. He is fed Wellness Core Reduced Fat Formula PortionPaks, which is given to him in his Brake-Fast Anti-Bloat Bowl, along with his Deep Sea Salmon Oil capsules. Sir Lance also has a daily exercise routine consisting of running a mile to a mile and a half a day on a treadmill, so joint protection with Cosequin DS is a must.

I could go on and on about SmartPak Canine, but here is the bottom line right from Sir Lance himself: "My master always gives me the top of the line from my food to my toys from SmartPak”. I too say THANKS SMARTPAK CANINE!

Sam turned 7 in April and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia at about a year old, he also suffers from dry skin. So along with food to travel with it was also his supplements to keep high and dry. After much deliberation, I choose the Large Breed Wellness food (switched from many years of Merick), Missing Link Plus & Green Grass. Wellness goes without saying as a great brand of food, the Missing Link Plus has worked wonders keeping him going and his skin and coat nice not to mention the ease of intake. Vitamins and pills were not always his favorite. As for the Green Grass I'd been searching for something natural to help my yard and not hurt my boy.

Well after only 4 months of being with SmartPak I'll never go back again! Sam loves his food (not that labs shy away from much) he gets all the stuff he needs and the grass will be green this year for sure. We are looking forward to our new travel buddy and can't wait to hit the road for our first trip of 2009.

After I received my first shipment I e-mailed my family and friends that have dogs and told them all to check out SmartPak.

Finally, your customer service department has been the best folks I ever had the pleasure of dealing with. They are friendly, helpful and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied with your product. A couple of months ago my shipment of Missing Link Plus seemed a little short. Before I had a chance to call I received a voice mail regarding the mistake that was made with my shipment and all was rectified. Mistakes happen but when a company can find them and correct them almost before you realize what happened shows a strong and engaged employee.
