Doctor Spot is the poster boy for Sea Pet. In addition to being famous and insisting on wearing dark glasses and giving autographs, he's also a senior athlete. When I bought him nine years ago, he had some "issues" -- hocks that were fusing, a dropped right hip, and, I later discovered, an "S" curve spine. By all rights, now that he's 20 he should be a good deal stiffer. In fact, without Sea Pet, I think he'd be retired. Instead, after four years on Sea Pet, no one can believe that he's twenty or that we consistently compete in area hunter paces. In fact, last year we were reserve champions in the Tanheath series and came in third for the Bay State year end awards. We might have done better, but we were usually too fast! By the way, his partner, Island's Pride, is also a 20-year-old Sea Pet user.

I was so impressed with my golden retriever's improvement that I decided to try your equine product on my horse. In 1995, at one-year-old, he was the Palomino World Champion Yearling at the Palomino World Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. By the end of 1996, I noticed that he was having some movement problems. He seemed to be growing unevenly, his left side appearing less developed than his right. He was examined at Tufts University Large Animal Hospital in North Grafton, Massachusetts and diagnosed with neurological disorders in his upper spine. X-rays of his hind legs showed juvenile arthritis in his hocks (hind knee joints). I began to give him your Sea Pet Shark Cartilage, after having tried various other equine products such as Cosequin, MSM, Grand Flex, Flex Free and other similar products with little results. Over this summer, I noticed that he seemed more inclined to run and try to play with the other horses in the fields. I decided to experiment and see if there was any real difference or if he was just adjusting to his lifestyle, so I discontinued the shark cartilage last month. Already, I can see the difference. He moves less, has a less friendly attitude and seems very stiff and sore. He goes back on the powder this week.

In conclusion, I just wanted you to know that I have never been as impressed with a line of products as I am with your canine and equine shark cartilage. You should be very proud of the good you have done.
