BRINGING BACK MY HORSE, MY PAL My 6 year old gelding has been poor since the day I bought him. I bought him out of pity. He was in a 17 acre pasture which was bare, with 32 other horses. He was in such bad shape I didn’t think he would live to make the trip home.
I have fed him up and given him supplements, but he was always “off” in the back end. I have spent 3 years trying to pinpoint his elusive lameness. Each vet I took him to diagnosed something else. Recently I took the gelding to Dr. Carl Martin, DVM, Fremont, Nebraska. Dr. Martin spoke very highly of your product and I bought a gallon from him. He has been on SarStart for 3 weeks and he is a completely different horse.
The biggest difference, besides the lameness going away, is that his eyes are beautiful. He no longer has the winced look of pain and discomfort. He has a beautiful, round soft eye that matches his new personality – soft and kind.
I can’t thank you enough for saving my horse. He has a lot of talent and will make a very athletic barrel horse so I couldn’t give up on him, despite what everyone else said. He may not come back 100% since it has been 3 years he has been troubled with EPM, but so far he has come back to make a fun horse that is a delight to be around.
I have a big barrel race coming up in two weeks and I will take Cooper just so he can get used to being hauled. I am very excited for everyone to see how he has changed! I will tell everyone I see about your products and the wonderful veterinarian that sold it to me!
Thank you for giving me back my pal!

“You guys rock!! This SarStart product has turned my 20 yr old standardbred horse into a younger horse. I got him about 2 yrs ago and he was not in the best shape. He was very wobbly in the hind end- could climb like a goat though on trails and loved to work cattle. He came from a feedlot where he worked most of his life. A real go to type reliable old boy. Well he would be very odd in the hind end crossing over almost. So I had him adjusted by my chiropractor and still rode because even though he was wobbly-he was very sure footed. But he also had a dull coat and was a bit on the skinny side.
So my friend and trainer Jim Wilkins of J Bar D Ranch suggested that i put him on SarStart– I already had my 12 yr old rescued from the killer pen Saddlebred gelding on it-who had to gain about 250 lbs at least. he was doing great on it too. So I started duke on it and WOW he and I did a trail ride that was over 4 hrs long and lots and I mean lots of hills and climbs and he was loping with no effort after a winter off and climbing like a billy goat.
He shed out so beautiful and had shined up too. No more wobbly backend either. Then I turned him out on pasture and didn’t give him his SarStart, well I rode him easter Sunday and the wobbly was back!! and he just didn’t have the energy that he had previously. Then the one day in the pasture he seemed very sore and just not himself.
I pulled him out of pasture and started him on SarStart again and within aa week what a difference. I rode him today and we got into a major bind in huge bog of mud and he actually was up to his tailhead in this bog and i just let him have his head and hung on to the horn- no stirrups and he climbed out of that belly deep pit like a 4wheel drive pickup!!! Then he still wanted to lope uphill on the way home!!!
Thankyou so much for this wonderful product. Duke thanks you too. So does my 17 yr old qh gelding who I started on it and my rescue saddlebred who is a different horse!! You guys are awesome and i recommend your product to everyone!!! “

“After giving SarStart for Dogs to my older dog, he has more energy, more like when he was a puppy.”
“Our lab is getting old. He was unable to jump into the back of the car when we were traveling. After giving him SarStart for Dogs, he jumps into the back of the car without any trouble. SarStart for Dogs has changed his life.”
“My two young hunting dogs were lost for 8 days when they went to play in a nearby corn field. It was a hot, humid summer and when I finally found them, they were in terrible condition…full of parasites and ticks, and severely dehydrated. After several trips to the veterinarian, being wormed twice and dipped, they still had loose bowels, a bad hair coat and no appetite. I began to give them SarStart for Dogs and within a few days I could see an improvement. Within three weeks, my dogs had normal stools, a shiny hair coat and better appetites. They looked like they were in better condition than before I lost them! I’ve fed them SarStart for Dogs ever since.”
After posting about Senna’s toe problem, a PAWSter all the way up in Kansas suggested trying a new supplement called SarStart for Dogs. Supposed to be especially good for arthritis and stiff joints (and Senna has arthritis in several of his toes). I started using SarStart just a few weeks ago on all my boys except Braedan. I really didn’t expect to see anything dramatic, although Jenn said she noticed positive changes in especially her older dog after about a month on SarStart. I was therefore, intrigued when I started seeing changes in Tristan after just a week on the supplement.
If you saw my email about Tristan’s birthday, you saw the photo of him on the
agility table with his Frisbee in his mouth. This in itself was completely new.
Although it used to be a favorite thing for him to do (get up on the table and wait for me to come play tug with his Frisbee), it’s
probably been close to a year since Tristan has been on the table. I was, therefore, surprised when I saw him on it and trying to engage me in play. And it wasn’t just a one-time occurrence. I thought it was a
fluke, but Tristan offered up the table a few more times while we were outside that particular day, and he’s continued to get on the table from time to time since.
Tristan in addition to this change, I’ve noticed that Tristan is not losing his back legs and stumbling and falling nearly as much as he had been. This has been
particularly noticeable when I’m tossing his Frisbee to him. One PAWSter commented yesterday after class that she’d never seen Tristan quite as frisky/active. She’s used to Tristan simply strolling around looking/begging for treats. Yesterday Sherry actually saw Tristan run for his Frisbee.
I’m also seeing changes in Boomer (who’s 6 months younger than Tristan). He’s also become more active outdoors. Without asking, he’s also been offering to get on the small table in the field. I’ve also caught him on the contact trainer, and he offered up the weave-a-matics without my asking. Like Tristan, Boomer is more interested in getting free food these days, so to see him offering up obstacles on his own was quite astonishing.
I’ve also noticed that neither Tristan nor Boomer have been sleeping as hard (i.e. making me sometimes think they’ve passed away), nor have they been sleeping as much. From our kitchen window, we’re seeing Tristan wandering around in the front yard several times during the day. Considering he has back porch steps to descend and ascend (we have a ramp, but he doesn’t like it), this is also unusual for him.
Needless to say, I’m utterly amazed at the changes in both Boomer and Tristan since starting them on this new vitamin supplement. I’ve told several folks about it and they’ve already checked into buying SarStart online. Jenn checked with the sales rep, and he said that changes usually take 4-6 weeks, but he felt that the age of Tristan and Boomer may have contributed to the more rapid improvement I’ve seen. Whatever the case, I like it!
This is some good stuff!!!

I was still skeptical on what it (SarStart for Dogs) would do for Casey and Ginger since they’ve both got some pretty serious issues going on (Ginger’s hips are quite bad and Casey has the spondylosis in her spine). Well, I started both of them on it last Sunday and really haven’t thought much about it since. I’ve been fairly
preoccupied with my upcoming surgery. My point of mentioning that is I have not been micro-managing the dogs and looking for any sign of improvement, so when I saw Ginger go racing up the stairs last Friday
before I headed out of town, it registered but I didn’t think too much about it other than she must have been having a good day. Well, now that I’ve been home with her all day today, I’ve seen a very big change in her energy level; her ability to get up the stairs and her behavior in general. She actually ripped up a stuffed toy in the first time in I don’t know how long and she was pulling things out of my agility bag and just plain being annoyingly in the
way. She has way more energy than I’ve seen in a very long time. I also see
the same in Casey though she’s always been a bit less pushy and more happy
to just be nearby.
Long story short, I’m definitely seeing a change in these two since starting
the SarStart – how cool!
