the first veterinarian put him on phenobarbital which you cant just take him off cold Turkey. so with me being a health conscious person (I have crohns disease and treat myself holistically) I wanted a different approach. I then started doing some research about the dogs immune system. I put him on a raw diet, uncooked meats and raw vegetables in conjunction with some natural supplements, spirulina being one of those natural supplements. he has been on this regiment for just over 2 months now. his seizures have decreased dramatically, hes had one, yes ONE seizure in the 2 month timeframe, that's outstanding in my opinion. he has lost 20 lbs, his coat is shiny, has more energy, and all around just feels much better.
I also have two other dogs, one is an Australian cattle dog and the other is a wolf hybrid. i didnt give them the spirulina and other supplements in the beginning, one day i noticed they would go sniff and lick the sick dogs food bowl, at first i just thought they were being greedy, but then i realized they were trying to lick up any trace elements left behind. so, I started giving it to them as well, I figured it wouldn't hurt. both the wolf dog and cattle dog are older, 12 and 8 yrs. they have arthritis, eye issues, etc. all the fun that comes with senior dogs. haha. needless to say now they wont eat their food without the maju spirulina on it. I've tried, I have made their food the same exact way minus the spirulina and when I offer it to them they all look at me like "hey lady you forgot something and simply refuse to eat. yes they are super spoiled.
in closing I have to say that maju spirulina will be a staple in our household (I use it too, put it in my blueberry smoothie every day). I feel like this small company truly cares about quality and what it offers to the consumer. after my second order I had the cofounder reach out to me via email, (probably wondering why I ordered more so soon). anyhow, I briefly explained, he listened. then another representative reached out to me, it was very reassuring to me as a consumer that this company truly cares about its craft and not just the almighty dollar, as they gave me a discount code to use, which was very nice of them since feeding 3 animals and myself this way is expensive. so it was much appreciated. I have just made my 3rd order of the spirulina as well I'm trying out their ashwagandha another supplement we all take. they have definitely earned my business with their caring concern for health, their customers well being, their transparency and responsible sourcing. this goes a long way in my book as everything and everybody are so disconnected in today's world, and the pups have given their paw stamp approval. maju is simply the best.
