Dear Ross & Di,
Just a note, to congratulate you on developing such a great product as K9 Magic Deer Velvet.
As you are aware, as well as being a dog breeder, I too am a deer farmer who has a good knowledge of the scientific facts on velvet. Together with these facts I have also gained much anecdotal evidence of the advantages of deer velvet, especially concerning dogs.
I breed and train American Bulldogs. I currently own 13 of these fantastic dogs, plus have 3 litters on the ground and to say I am addicted to them is an understatement! The training for my working dogs is quiet extreme with most of them running 10 km a day as well as regular weight pulling and other intensive training. Also the regular litters of pups that I have really are demanding on the mother, to say the least.
Although I have a very good balanced feeding regime for my dogs, I believe it is my secret weapon…..Deer Velvet…..that allows my dogs to thrive, shine, perform and rebound the way they do. I can honestly say when my dogs are on deer velvet, they not only increase in stamina and perform better, but also look a lot healthier with a very soft, shiny coat. The breeding females usually not only hold body condition but increase weight whilst raising healthy fat pups. I put all this down to the use of Deer Velvet.
Now I must also tell you about my former dog who was a Rotweiler/Doberman that lived to 17 years of age. This dog lived on velvet like no other, he loved it, always hanging around our handling yards at velvet season, he ate small and large amounts of it most days. Although this dog had pins in his hips from being run over by a car when he was 2 years old, he showed very little side effects. For many years, nearly up till his death, he regularly ran many kilometers everyday. In his last year of life, he was riddled with arthritis, but when fed deer velvet the difference in his movement and day to day activities was huge. I also believe the warming effect on the body temperature from deer velvet, also had a marked difference on his ability to cope with our cold winters in his last years of life.
Having just sampled your K9 Magic, I believe this dried form of Deer Velvet has the same active ingredients and benefits for dogs as “green” fresh velvet. The only down side of your product is that my “secret weapon” is now available to all dog owners and breeders. I highly recommend your product to any one that wants the best for their dog.
