TESTIMONIAL: Dear Michael and Marlene,
I haven't been in contact since last Spring (2002) and mainly because my Westie, Mikey has been enjoying excellent health thanks to you! Getting him off the prednisone and antibiotics (which were shutting down his immune system )was the best thing I ever did for him.
Your homeopathic remedies did the trick for my poor sick boy and he returned to normal health within a few weeks of the last remedy/treatment. He was restored to his sweet happy self.
You were so patient and kind in analyzing the situation for me. The Vet bills were killing me. I'm now going to treat my female, Jilly for her chronic bladder problem and I have hope thanks to you,again.
Please keep up the fine work and the care you have for our beloved pets. I have recommended you to several people already and will continue to do so!!!
With Much Sincere Appreciation,
