Verified I called Puptection out of desperation. My puppy (6 months old) was having really bad stools since the day we brought him home. We had done several stool samples and everything came back negative. We switched foods about 4 times (making sure to not switch abruptly) and the diarrhea like stool never went away. The vet finally told me that due to his poor digestion we would need to put him on a specific dog food for diabetic dog. I didn't like the idea (since he is just a puppy) nor the ingredients on the recommended food since it was full of fillers and wasn't good quality. Not wanting to feed him the recommended food I started looking around for a Holistic Nutrition center and came across Puptection. Boy, was I glad I did. I explained my situation to Alex, who was very knowledgeable, and he recommended we go with the K9 transform, the probiotics and the Chicken Original Formula. After just 1 day of feeding my puppy his new food, his stools were great!!! He also LOVES the food!! He gets soo excited while it is being prepared and doesn't look up from the plate once I set it down. I would definitely recommend Puptection to anyone who has a pet with any sort of digestive issues or just wants to make sure their pet is receiving a good nutritious meal with no fillers.

Verified Thank you Alex and Alexis for your recommendation of the detox powder. I always appreciate your knowledge and guidance. I have used this product for about 4 years for my collie who has multiple severe health issues, including IBD. This keeps her stool consistent, and I think has been helpful in her other problems as well. I initially came to this store to purchase a particular food. After Alex listened to my description of Willow's medical issues, he suggested this healing clay. I have used it daily ever since as an integral part of her diet. Thanks for helping my sweetie thrive!

Verified This testimonial is extremely overdue, but I'm happy to submit today. Puptection helped give back the gift of life to our Carmel. Back in October 2014, we bought a golden retriever-Carmel. From the start, the breeder told us she was the smallest she had ever seen. She was a normal playful, lovable, and a complete blessing. We were having a hard time potty training her, but brushed that off to just her being a stubborn puppy. One week when she was about 8 months old Carmel started to become less like her puppy self, she didn't talk (bark) as much and seemed to have less energy than normal. On a Friday night, into early Saturday morning that's when everything took an unexpected turn - Carmel's gums were hot and she was just restless. Throughout the night, we kept watching her and she started to drool. When we realized she couldn't stand without swaying, we raced her to the ER where they told us at first it was something toxic that got into her system. They administered fluids and other meds to help with what they thought was going on and came out and told us that her condition was getting better and that whatever was causing this was going away. The vet told us that we could go home and that they would look after her. We drove home thinking everything was going to be O.K. and that she was in good hands (so we thought). No more than a half hour later we got a call from the new shift vet stating that Carmel was banging her head, walking in circles, and was blind. We raced to the E.R. and they stated that it could be meningitis, but they didn't have a neurologist on site to diagnosis her. We ended up taking Carmel to another ER in Chicago that had a neurologist on staff that could perform a spinal tap that would tell us if she had meningitis or not. The vet sedated her and proceeded with the tests which included taking more blood samples, it was during the blood samples that one of the doctors found that Carmel's liver enzymes were over 500 when the normal range is 10-120. We had a spinal tap done to rule out meningitis and the vet advised us to have an ultrasound performed on her liver with her regular vet to find out if there were any shunts. Carmel's regular vet Dr. Makofski (Beach Park Animal Hospital) wanted us to get a second opinion as she couldnt see a definite shunt.
We took her to the Vet. Specialty Center in Buffalo Grove- the ultrasound concluded no external shunts so the next step was an MRI. If the MRI concluded it was internal shunts, surgery can correct it, but it's an extremely risky. On the day of the MRI, the vet in Buffalo Grove called while Carmel was under anesthesia and determined that she does have liver shunts, but they can't be surgically fixed. The doctor told us that we should keep giving her a protein free diet, continue her lactulose (which helps break the protein down for the liver), and that we would maybe have a year until she passed. We even asked what about a special diet? Their response was "it's a lot of work and you won't get results as expected". We couldn't believe what we heard and were in denial. We instantly started our Internet search of dog nutritionists and that's when we were called to Puptection. Alex answered the phone and spent over an hour with us, listening to us, encouraging us. Our faith was shattered from the vet in Buffalo Grove, but Alex was determined to build it back up. He suggested the V-Flow diet to detox from all the anesthesia she was given and all meds. He also suggested to get her on the Original Dehydrated Formula (which contains no meat) and stated we need to feed Carmel the real protein as the low-protein diets are nothing but the bad meats that can make our beloved pets feel worse. He stated to use real chicken in diet. We were so scared- here the vets in Buffalo Grove were telling us LOW-PROTEIN, but Alex was saying feed her the real deal?! We immediately called her regular vet and gave her the news, she encouraged us to try it and agreed with Alex. After 2 weeks of feeding Carmel her new diet-Original Dehydrated Formula & V-Flow with small amounts of cooked chicken, the vet took her blood and her levels dropped to the normal range of 75! The doctor was even in disbelief that she ran it twice! We called Puptection back right away and shared the good news! We haven't looked back since. On our last trip about 1 month ago, still being on the specialized Puptection diet, Carmel's levels are still within normal range! Today Carmel is still alive and loving her puppy life, doing puppy things and all of this is because of Puptection and her vet's encouragement to follow the holistic diet from the start. I don't even want to think of where we would be if we listened to the Buffalo Grove vets and never found Puptection. For any disbelievers given grim news of their beloved pet call Puptection for a second opinion and see if they have anything to rebuild your pet's health and strength-they truly saved our Carmel!

Verified This review is LONG overdue! Last summer my youngest dog was diagnosed with meningitis. She is a three year old Pomeranian. Meningitis in dogs is less serious than that in humans, but can be very serious. Meningitis is an auto-immune disease in which inflammation occurs in the brain, leading to seizures. Although it is different than that of human meningitis, last summer was very scary and stressful. My dog had multiple seizures and was rushed to the ER multiple times. She spent nights there undergoing cytosar (a chemo treatment for inflammation) and was put on 3 seizure medications and prednisone. I am totally against prescription drugs, but this is my baby and I wanted what was best, although I kept doubting all this medication on such a small dog. I had one of the top neurologist in the state, don't get me wrong, she was great. I just knew there had to be a natural way to get my pup out of this without so much medication.
I came across Puptection, as I was looking up holistic doggie stores or vets. After talking to countless vets, neurologist, and store owners, talking to Alex over the phone, gave me so much hope. I came into the store shortly after. He put things into perspective for me and the funny thing is he was saying the exact same thing I had been thinking! He even said, "see you know." If I wouldn't put all these chemicals into my body, why do that to my precious pups? Even the doctors said that over vaccination could very well be the cause of the meningitis! He asked me to start my dog on the clay and even though the vet asked me to feed her a bland diet, (no nutrients, as we were trying to suppress her immune system,) add veggies to her diet. She had been on raw food before, but after this I was asked to feed her only a bland diet. I decided to go slowly with what both the neurologist and Alex asked me to do. I couldn't take her completely off the meds as I'm sure medication is certainly needed to a certain extent. I respect that. I was able to slowly get my dog off the prednisone and the seizure meds with the most side effects.

Verified I have been getting food for my dog, Roo, from Puptection for several years. When I brought him in, his skin was bad, his allergies were out of control, and we could not find a way to get him through that situation. We got him into Puptection and they gave us several options and a strategy to use with his care. In only a matter of weeks, Roo's skin got better and he lost around 8 pounds of bloat that we didn't know he had been carrying. Whenever he has a problem, I contact Puptection and they tweak his diet in order to help him feel better. These guys have been great and I highly recommend them if your pet is having problems.

Verified Alexis, the nutritionist at Puptection is the absolute best!
My little Jack Russell was recently diagnosed with renal failure and Alexis helped me and my dog Jack through this frightening ordeal.
She recommended a raw food diet which includes: rabbit meat, freeze dried vegetables and purifying clay ( he also takes milk thistle and steamed sweet potatoes).
Within days I could see that he was feeling better and eating all of his "new healthy food" with lots of gusto. A month later I took him back to see his vet and he could not believe how good he looked. Jack's creatinine level initially was 3.4 and after all these healthy changes in his diet it had gone down to 2.4! The normal level is 1.6.
My vet said keep doing what you are doing.... it's working!!
I consider the people at Puptection Guardian Angels. Thank you.

Verified Our yorkshire terrier, Foxy, was very sick with liver problems. Her enzyme levels were extremely high according to the vet, and he wanted to have her hospitalized for $300 a day. I also spent a lot of money on medications, however I felt it was too much medicine to give to our little pooch.
She was very ill, did not want to eat, lost a lot of weight and hair, was very lethargic, could not go down stairs without falling, was walking into corners of the room confused and was not able to back out of them, she would get lost under furniture and bump her head all over the place! We had no idea what else we could do because we couldn't afford the vet costs.
We researched alternatives and found that a diet change might help. Unfortunately Vets are not properly trained in their studies regarding diets, therefore the only advice he had was to search for recipes online. Instead we found Puptection, and were amazed at the results! There were so many stories Puptection told us about that gave us hope. And just like they promised, our dog really liked their food and within a day of eating it, she had the energy to get out of bed. By the end of the week, she was on a new diet and more energy. As a couple weeks went by, she had gained back weight and was looking like our old dog again! She began climbing stairs, running, and barking again!
Puptection has a very Holistic approach to the way they do things, and it absolutely works. Their natural ingredients are sometimes all a canine needs. They have helped dogs with all kinds of problems, from failing livers to tumors and cancer. I wish we would have used them sooner. I've referred a lot of friends to Puptection, and they also love it. Plus the customer service their was a amazing. Every time I go there I find myself chatting for over 20 minutes. They are extremely knowledgeable, and gave us great advice. Give them a try, it's really worth it.
