We want to send our customers and their extended families our best wishes for this new year.  It is such a privilege to be connected to so many people who cherish their animal companions and take such good care of their health.  We thank everyone who has let us into their lives and let us know how our product is helping their animals to live healthier and happier lives.

We are making some changes/additions to our website and welcome any testimonials and pictures that you would like to share.

It is our wish that 2013 will bring more compassion and respect to the animal kingdom.  We hope to see a significant decrease in the number of homeless pets and stricter laws concerning animal abuse.

Thank you to everyone who is working towards this goal. May you know how important your work is and how very much it is appreciated.

Many of us learned about laser therapy treatments from John Unger and his dog Schoep and the beautiful picture of them in Lake Michigan. Schoep is having wonderful results from the treatment and I have been reading more and more articles about how the treatment is helping various conditions.

Schoep, at 19 years old was experiencing severe pain and stiffness from arthritis and aging and the treatments have eased his condition pretty miraculously.

In the November issue of Veterinary Practice News, there is an article on Feline Asthma, Feline Pancreatitis and Feline IBD all helped with laser therapy.

The results are really impressive after just a few treatments in all cases.  The treatments do usually have to be continued on a “maintenance” schedule in most cases.

We are in the process of sending out a newsletter to our subscribers early next week.

The manufacturer of our test materials has asked us to find out what other products our customers would be interested in having.  Or any suggestions for changes to the current test strips.

We’re excited to hear from everyone and get their ideas and input.

Most of our orders are placed online.  Sometimes when a customer calls, they have quite a story to tell.  And sometimes it is heartbreaking.

I remember well the man who told me he had no idea his beloved dog had advanced diabetes until one day she just fell off the couch.  She also become blind quickly and her vision was never restored.  He was so shocked because he had taken her for annual veterinary visits and she had not exhibited any signs of illness before this event.

He understood well the need for practicing preventative care and told me that he wished he had heard of ThePetCheckup earlier.

I do too.  We can’t make any guarantees regarding our product of course, but I know the monthly tests would have picked up imbalances and he would have been able to get his dog medical treatment much earlier in the development of the diabetes.
