What Vets are sayiing about DOGtor RX
Ava V. Ackerman, DVM
In 2004 I conducted a small study at the Belmont Pet Hospital to support the
safety and efficacy of the DOGtorRx™ formula. The study focused on aging
dogs with orthopedic challenges and dogs with suspected or diagnosed Cushing's
disease. Laboratory work, including chemistries, CBC's, thyroid and cortisol
levels, was performed both before and after the administration of DOGtorRx™.
No adverse effects were noted.
One participant, an aging Labrador Retriever with significant mobility problems,
was taking Rimadyl and Glucosomine prior to the study with little or no results.
The owner was considering euthanasia. Within a very short time after adding
DOGtorRx™ to his diet, the dog became as mobile as a puppy. Nothing else
was added or changed in his treatment. Now, two years later, this same dog is
taking only DOGtorRX™ and no more drugs.
Remarkable results were also shown on dogs with Cushing's disease who became
active and playful again once put on the DOGtorRx™ regime.
Presently, I have about 25 patients on DOGtorRx™ and the responses are
overwhelmingly positive.

DOGtorRx™ formula is having profound effects on over 66% of the 65+ canine
and feline participants in an ongoing clinical study at the Holistic Pet Care
clinic, New Jersey. It is especially beneficial as an adjunct to cancer treatments
and in cases of hormone imbalance and neuromuscular deficiency in older dogs.
Benefits are also reported in areas of strength, energy, stamina, alertness,
disposition and agility. Many with poor appetites are once again enjoying food
and gaining healthy weight.
I also highly recommend DOGtorRx™ formula for maintaining and enhancing
the quality of life for healthy dogs, as well.

In my veterinarian practice, I routinely treat dogs suffering Cushing's disease,
joint-related issues, and from geriatric conditions. I have always been an advocate
of preventative health care and the necessity of high-quality nutrition in the
daily diet to promote good health and maintain a healthy life.
This past year I was introduced to a new dietary supplement for dogs, DOGtor
Rx, and I now recommend it to all of my canine patients to be incorporated with
existing prescribed treatments.
I have personally witnessed extremely impressive results within a relatively
short period of time on dogs diagnosed with Cushing's disease, and I have seen
favorable results when treating dogs suffering from arthritis, diabetes, hot
spots, anxiety issues, hip displacia, and liver toxicity.
Also, many geriatric dogs have now shown increased energy and mobility and
a demonstrable appearance of overall well-being. Recovery time for dogs recuperating
from surgeries has also been reduced.
I recommend DOGtor Rx for dogs of all ages, to be used either as a daily tool
for good health maintenance or as a supplement to be used along with their existing
treatment program.

Clinical experiences with DOGtor Rx in our Hungarian practice
The DOGtor Rx Humanofort formula is a dietary supplement that contains natural
growth factors oligopeptides, amino-acids, small amounts of iron, copper, selenium,
and zinc. Each natural growth factor is comprised of peptides which are transported
through the bloodstream to their specific receptor sites to achieve their bio-stimulant
effect.
Scientific research has proven that the natural agents of the DOGtor Rx Humanofort
formula facilitate the production of cortisol and insulin in the physiologically
optimal amounts, which naturally alleviates several common dog diseases.
Among the above mentioned beneficial effects of this formula, personally I
was most interested in cases where the disease is a result of hormone imbalance.
As you know, the alternatives are scarce or very expensive in the treatment
of these.
Diabetes mellitus
Patient No. 1: 4 year old female Poodle. In this fortunate situation, diabetes
was diagnosed early, no major complications were present, and the blood sugar
level was not excessively high either (12 mmol/l). We started giving her the
Eukanuba weight diabetic control feed, and the DOGtor Rx supplement (2x50 mg).
The blood sugar level was normalized within a few days and remained unchanged
for the next four weeks.
Patient No. 2: 6 year old male, mixed breed, who has been suffering from diabetes
for a longer period of time, and has been given insulin twice a day. After two
weeks of taking the DOGtor Rx supplement (2x50 mg), the insulin could be reduced
to half, after four weeks to one quarter of the original amount. It has been
six weeks of treatment now, and the dog is not being given insulin at all.
Patient No. 3: 10 year old female Rottweiler, who has been receiving insulin-therapy
for a while, and there was no improvement in her condition even after spaying.
She has been taking the DOGtor Rx formula (2x150 mg) for the past six weeks,
and we only need to give half of the original daily dose of insulin now. We
achieved this result around the 4th week of treatment, but our attempts to reduce
this amount any further have been in vain so far: if we gave a dose smaller
than half of the original, the blood sugar level invariably bounced back up
too high.
Diabetes insipidus
Patient No. 1: 8 year old male Fox Terrier, who has been suffering from this
type of diabetes for a longer period of time, and has been given Minirin (desmopressin).
He has been taking the DOGtor Rx formula (2x50 mg) for four weeks, and at this
point he only needs one quarter of the original Minirin dose to show no symptoms,
that is, he does not drink and urinate excessively.
Patient No. 2: 9 year old Dachshund mix. This is a recent case, he has been
taking the DOGtor Rx formula (2x50 mg) since the onset, for 6 weeks. He drinks
significantly less water and he does not have urinary incontinence problems
any more, but he is not asymptomatic yet.
Cushing's disease
Patient No. 1: 10 year old female Dachshund. In her case, the disease has been
diagnosed some time ago, she has been taking Nizoral pills (Cetoconazole) to
reduce the symptoms, and has been fed Eukanuba Light feed to lose the excess
weight. At this point, she has been taking DOGtor Rx formula (2x50 mg) for six
weeks, she is not on Nizoral any more, but we are continuing with the lower
calorie diet. Right now her water intake and urination are normal, she has lost
a considerable amount of weight, and we observed a significant improvement in
her fur and skin condition.
Patient No. 2: 11 year old male, mixed breed. He is a recent case, he has been
taking Vetoryl pills and the DOGtor Rx formula (2x50 mg) since the onset of
the disease, that is for four weeks. By the end of the fourth week, he only
needs a quarter of the Vetoryl amount to make it through the night without having
to be taken outside to urinate. The owner cannot afford to put him on a special
feed, so all we could do to change his diet was that they limit the amount of
food intake at home, and improve the quality of that food as much as they can.
Patient No. 3: 7 year old female, West High Terrier. She has been suffering
from constant eczema issues, and was undergoing Prednisolone therapy coming
from a different clinic. She has just recently come to us for treatment. The
Cushing's disease was a result of the continuous doses of glucocorticoid, and
she was showing the classical symptoms. As the first step, we ran allergy tests
which revealed nutritional problems. We changed her diet to the Eukanuba Dematosis
feed, and ever since the onset of the disease three weeks ago, she has been
taking the DOGtor Rx formula (2x50 mg). We stopped giving her Prednisolone altogether,
but in the beginning of our treatment program we used skin soothing shampoo
and antihistamine to reduce itching. As far as water-intake and urination, her
condition has improved, but she is not asymptomatic yet, her weight remained
unchanged. There has been a visible improvement, however, in her fur and skin
condition already.
Hypothyroidism
Patient No. 1: 10 year old female Boxer. When she came to my clinic, she was
considerably underweight, and showed symptoms of alopecia, hyperpigmentation,
and shedding. The results of the blood test suggested hypothyroidism. We also
detected mammary tumor and cystic transformation of the ovaries. We performed
the necessary surgeries (ovarihysterectomy, removal of tumoral mammary tissue),
changed her diet to Eukanuba Senior, and started her on the DOGtor Rx formula
(2x150 mg). After four weeks of treatment, her condition was significantly better,
the shedding ceased, and there was a substantial improvement in her overall
well-being.
It is important to note that in the above mentioned cases of hormonal imbalance,
we doubled the dose described in the "directions for use". Based on
clinical experiences with this formula in the US, they recommend a higher dose
in similar cases.
Idiopaticus colitis
Patient No. 1: 7 year old Cane Corso. He came in with constant diarrhea and
was in a very bad shape. Based on various laboratory examinations, idiopathic
colitis was diagnosed.
At this point, his treatment regimen is determined as follows: Salazopyrin
pills, Eukanuba Intestinal feed, and DOGtor Rx formula (2x150 mg, twice the
normal dose). After four weeks of treatment, the consistency of the feces is
better, and although the complete resolution to solid stool has not occurred
yet, his condition visibly improved, his fur is becoming shinier, and he is
happier and more playful than four weeks ago.
Other cases
In 10 cases, we gave the formula to dogs who were recovering from surgery,
or who were in weak condition after an illness, and older dogs in poor physical
condition. After 24-48 hours, there was a noticeable improvement in their mood
and appetite. Their condition generally improved within two weeks, and the older
dogs regained their youthful energy.
In 10 cases we treated dogs suffering from skin problems. While addressing
the underlying causes, we also put the dogs on the DOGtor Rx formula.
In two weeks, after successful treatment of the underlying causes, generally
their fur and skin condition also considerably improved.
In 10 cases we gave the formula to dogs with locomotor disorder. For various
reasons, surgery was not an option for them, only symptomatic treatment was
possible (i.e.: hip and elbow dysplasia, other arthritic conditions, etc.).
Beyond pain relief, we gave them the DOGtor Rx formula instead of mussel extract.
As a general conclusion, we can say that this treatment reduced the locomotor
symptoms substantially better than previously used regimens. In four cases,
we could stop giving pain relief pills after two weeks, they only take the DOGtor
Rx formula now.
In two cases we gave the formula to dogs with persistent, recurring panosteitis.
In addition to and following the usual treatment (antibiotics and non-steroids),
continuous administration of the formula successfully prevented recurrence of
the disease.
To summarize the above, I am confident that the DOGtor Rx formula considerably
improves the medical conditions stated in the indications. In the treatment
of hormonal imbalance, this formula fills a prominent gap: in a lot of cases,
we lack alternatives.
I am happy to recommend this product, because I believe it will be a useful
formula in the everyday practice of numerous colleagues, not only as a supplement,
but also in helping to address the underlying causes. The planned consumer price
is very reasonable even for our not-so-wealthy clients, and that is something
to consider in today's world.
