Frank

Frank has regained his playfulness

Frank is a 14 year old Toller/Lab-Pointer cross. Over the last couple of years he was showing signs of joint stiffness and discomfort. Our vet suggested Frank take part in the Antinol study in hopes of improving his mobility and easing his symptoms.

Since taking Antinol Frank has regained his playfulness and approaches his walks with a youthfulness we have not seen for some time. We are pleased with the results and believe that Antinol has improved his quality of life.

Jemma

Moving more freely and with less pain

Jemma was rescued at 13 months after already having had a litter of puppies. She has always moved slower than her other housemates. She was quite arthritic, had difficulty getting up off the floor to standing, and would be hobbled if she did run even the slightest bit.

Enter Antinol! The change in Jemma has been remarkable. We cannot sing the praises of this product loudly enough! After the first two week loading dose, Jemma was running, initiating play, going over an agility jump, luring. Basically, finally living her puppy life.

Something that at 9.5 years old, we had never seen in her. It just warms our hearts watching her having fun now. She is clearly moving more freely and with less pain. She is able to stand from laying without effort, bounds up onto the couch or our bed easily, just plain having fun. Antinol was the long awaited answer for us. Thank you.

Scooby

Spending all day with family

This is my pal Scooby Do. He is 10 years old now and was selected by his Vet to become a member of the test group for the Antinol study in late Dec 2019, partly because he has developed arthritis in his joints. At the time that Scooby started this study he was sleeping on our bed (Hubby & I) pretty much all day. He had become quite withdrawn from family life.

Now almost 6 months later, Scooby is so different. I feel as though we are back 2 - 3 years ago. He has spunk, seeks our granddaughters (7 & 3) for playtime and is spending all day with family. Something I have also noticed just lately is that he is also playing much more with his stuffy toys (an old habit) and is vocalizing with them a lot and loudly too! (quite a new thing).

Scooby’s background: Scooby came to me from L.A., having been found in a shelter by a Cocker Spaniel rescue group. He was only 9 months old and had been abandoned, unfortunately he had also been neglected, abused and malnourished. It took me almost a year to be able to even hug him - he was fearful of human contact. In fact I took Reiki training specifically so that I would be able to help Scooby to navigate the “wide world”. I have become his touch-stone and he has become my best fur buddy!

We are continuing with Scooby’s daily Antinol, with other medications, and Cartrophen monthly injections. I will continue to update Scooby’s progress, and look forward to reading from other Antinol Study participants and their journey.

Audrey

Back to loving sand and life!

Hi Dr. Beale and the clinic - I am nearly at the 28 day mark and want you to know Antinol has done something that I didn't think I would ever get on top of.

Finally my girl's skin rashes and itchiness have gone and I am so grateful. For years I have done everything from diet changes, special balms, lotions, potions you name it and every year from Spring to Autumn - and especially through summer Audrey would get inflamed skin rashes, histamine type hives and be generally uncomfortable.

From a heatwave in January earlier this year -she was desperate and miserable (and so was I). This week - rolling on the beach and generally loving life - itch/rash free.

It's currently putridly hot and humid here and we are mid heatwave and nothing but smiles and a shiny coat and pink healthy skin. Her arthritic flare ups have also gone and I indicated this on my survey - but there was nowhere for me to give you feedback about the impact on her skin/coat.

Thank you again for letting me be a part of the trial.

George

I am proud that I could make George healthier

Hello, my name is Gig and his name is George. He is 5 years old. He is a Pomeranian mix which had patella luxation like many other Pomeranians.

He had an operation on his right leg, a year later, he had an operation on his left leg. After the operation, it seemed like he still had a problem around his patella. Back then he was about 3 years old. He started to lift his leg and limping so I took him to the vet. The vet examined him and prescribed Antinol®.

The result was great. After one week treated with Antinol®, I could see him improvement in walking and running. I’m very happy he got a lot better. As you can see he can run, jump high, walk up and down the stairs.

I will continue feeding him with Antinol® because it improves her quality of life. He got a lot better. He is brave enough to jump, run and hop on the table which he normally doesn't do. I am proud that I could make George healthier.

Tessie

She now walks 2-3 miles!

This is my beautiful girl Tessie. Tess will be 15 years old in April and has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease since November 2016, but I suspect she has had it for 2-3 years and I mistook the symptoms for old age.

One of the many symptoms of Cushing's is muscle shrinkage and weakness particularly in the back legs. I have had Tessie on Antinol for at least 18 months and I am amazed at the difference it has made.

Before Antinol she could barely walk to the beach and back (about 2kms) and it was a very slow walk but, after about 2-3 weeks on Antinol I noticed she was walking faster, wanting to walk on the beach and running (short bursts) at times with her doggy friends.

She now does 3-5kms every day with no sign of fatigue unless it is very hot or humid. Another symptom of Cushing's is an intolerance to heat which is why I get up at 4am to get her walked before it gets hot.

Buddy

I noticed a big difference after a week

I took Buddy into the vet for have a look at. At 12 his back legs (joints) were giving him grief and lots of pain. He was wobbly and limping and you could see that he was in a lot of discomfort. The vet recommended trying Antinol for 60 days.

I noticed a big difference after a week. No more limping, getting around much better and less discomfort. The biggest test was after going for hike. After the hike, he was normally very stiff and store and limping more than usual. After the 60 days trial, there wasn’t anymore limping even after going for a hike.

Gecko

Antinol has given him back his quality of life

Gecko has led an active and amazing life. The top dog in his breed in Obedience, he also traveled with the Superdogs variety-style dog show for years. At 16, his athletic lifestyle is catching up to him. He has significant arthritis that has limited his mobility and is causing him pain.

For several years he had been on NSAIDs for pain and inflammation, but now has advanced kidney disease and can no longer tolerate them. I had tried several different pain medications to balance his kidney health and manage his pain but could not find anything that helped. I tried various supplements which he could tolerate well, but had no impact on his pain or mobility. He was walking with a significant limp and had dramatically reduced his own activity.

When I heard about Antinol, I was very excited to try it on Gecko. Within the first two weeks his limp was gone and we was more active. After a month he RAN outside, the first time I had seen him run in many months. He is able to get up and down the stairs on his own, instead of me carrying him. He is much more interactive and happier. Antinol has given him back his quality of life.
