Client testimonial: ARTHRIMED

15 July, 2005

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for a product such as Arthrimed. We have two dogs using Arthrimed and the product has improved their lives tremendously.

The Bull Mastiff has elbow displacement in both front legs. He was put on Arthrimed tablets after his right leg was operated on. When the left front leg started giving trouble, we were advised by another vet to rather use a new product on the market, which he believed would be better than Arthrimed. We saw an immediate deterioration of his condition with the use of this new product – the dog had more pain and started limping. We thought that it might take a while for the product to start working, but after a month there was still no improvement in his condition. The left leg was then operated on and we immediately started using Arthrimed again.

Our Boxer has under developed hips and underwent a hip replacement three years ago. Due to the fact that this was a very big operation, as well as the age of the dog (seven years old), we decided against surgery of the other hip, which was not as bad. Our vet recommended Arthrimed which he has used since then. He is now nine years old, very active and mobile. At the start of winter, we noticed that his movements were constricted and uncomfortable. We increased the Arthrimed dosage from two to three tablets per day, and within 3 days saw an improvement.

Our dogs would definitely not have a quality life if it had not been for Arthrimed.

Thank you very much!

Client testimonial: FLY REPEL

February 2012, from respected veterinarian Dr Anthony Erasmus...

PERTHRIN / FLY REPEL

Fleas are a major headache in practice these days, especially with our high humidity and warm weather.  What clients do not realise is that new fleas are breeding out every day (not only this year’s eggs but last year and the year before).  Because new fleas appear on dogs every day, clients believe that the tried and trusted flea preventatives are no longer effective.  If one examines the dogs it is obvious that the dog has new, small, unengorged, today’s fleas on them.

What impresses the client is to apply Perthrin / Fly Repel to the animal's coat on the consulting room table.  The cypermethrin has an excellent knockdown effect and fleas lie on their backs kicking on the table.  I found the residual effect to last up to a week.

I advise clients to use Perthrin in combination with the traditional flea products during the bad summer months.

Of course one also has the added benefit of killing ticks and protecting the animal against house and stable flies.

Dear Joanne (of Medpet)

RE:  DONATION OF FLY REPEL SPRAY        

Many thanks for your kind donation of 3 litres of Fly Repel and 3 spray bottles to the Johannesburg Zoo.  It is much appreciated and will be used by our hoof-stock section.  As discussed with you telephonically, we are experiencing a terrible fly problem after all the rains, and Fly Repel is the only product that seems to be working to keep the flies away from the animals!

Kind regards

Client testimonial: MEDICOTE and BIO-VITA

13 March 2012 ... Jurie Kruger emailed us to say that he was impressed with the way these two products, when used together, helped to get rid of a skin condition that his bullterrier had been suffering from since it was a puppy.

Translated:

Dear Estelle (at Medpet) 

My bullterrier had a skin problem since she was small.  The skin was very dry and red and her hair was not growing well.
 
I took her to different Vets that treated her for various skin ailments, but nothing helped.  We then read on the internet that Vitamin E was needed.
 
We had a look at your website, because I have been using your bird products for a long time.  I saw Biovita and phoned your office to order it.  One of the ladies in your office told us to alternate the Biovita and Medicote, which we did.  Within 2 weeks her hair started growing and the redness of her skin disappeared.  About 2 months later her skin was 100%.
 
Thank you for your good products and friendliness.

Hi Estelle
 
My bullterrier het maar van kleins af gesukkel met n slegte vel. Haar vel was baie droog en rooi en die hare het gesukkel om te groei.
 
Ek het haar by verskye veartse gehad en hulle het haar behandel vir verskye vel siektes maar niks het gehelp nie, toe lees ons op die internet dat vitamin E baie nodig is.
 
Ons het toe op julle site kom loer aangesien ek julle voel produkte al baie lank gebriuk toe kom ons op Biovita af en toe ek julle bel op van dit te bestel het een van die dames daar by julle vir my gese dat ons die Biovita en Medicote moet afwisel, ons het dit toe gedoen en binne 2 weke het ons gesien dat die hare begin groei het en die rooiheid van die vel het verdwyn so 2 maande later was my hond se vel 100%.

Baie dankie vir julle goeie produkte en vriendelikheid.
 
Groete
Jurie Kruger

Client testimonial: MEDIMUNE TABLETS

14 September, 2005

I would like to thank you (Medpet) for the research, and eventual introduction of Medimune tablets, which is truly the answer to my question i.e. how to improve immunity in small animals.

After Ringworm was diagnosed on my dogs on 27 July 2005, I urgently had to get help for these 5 week old puppies, whose new owners were anxiously waiting for them.  In addition to the usual medical treatment, I also administered extra vitamins, of which there are many available in the market.

Veterinarians were probably tired of all my questions regarding immunity, until an efficient nurse at Sinoville Animal Clinic gave me the answer on 12 August 2005 - Medimune Tablets from Medpet. I immediately started giving it to my puppies at an increased dosage of 1 tablet per day for a small Yorkshire Terrier puppy, many of whom at that stage are not even 500 grams.

Well…. it is with great appreciation that I can today confirm that the puppies’ immunity system has improved so much that their systems are successfully combating the lesions.  If they even appear at all, lesions now disappear within 1- 2 days. These puppies had poor immune systems due to various historic problems with their mother.

The administration of Medimune Tablets to each dog, will from now on, be part of each day’s routine.

With sincere thanks and appreciation
