PetCentRx Case Study - Dr. Jack Stephens Cites Improved Cognitive Function and Energy in 15-Year-Old Dog with PetCentRx “Vim & Vigor” Wellness Formula

Problem

Jack Stephens, DVM, was concerned about his miniature Doberman pincher, Skeeter. His constant companion of 15 years was lethargic and listless and developed a trembling in his front legs. Jack noticed Skeeter was sleeping more and losing interest in their daily routine when he accompanied Jack to work, where Jack is founder and president of Pets Best Insurance.

Skeeter also began disassociating from the family’s six other dogs: Jennie, a 12-year-old miniature pincher; Skeeter’s son, JR, a seven-year-old; Torrey, a five-year-old, two-pound Chihuahua; Cooper, a four-year-old rescue and a mix of Chihuahua and daschund; Obie, an eight-year-old Scottish deer hound; and Pepper a nine-month-old toy fox terrier. As a veterinarian, Jack thoroughly examined Skeeter, and determined no discernable illness and concluded Skeeter’s symptoms were primarily due to the effects of aging. A colleague, who also examined Skeeter, suggested Jack look for a high-efficacy dietary supplement; thus, Jack’s quest began.

Solution

After meeting Pet-Togethers co-founder Michael Fantetti at a veterinary conference, Jack tried a sample of the PetCentRx “Vim & Vigor” with Skeeter. Skeeter liked the tablets because they were palatable and easy to chew. “Skeeter is a fussy eater and turns down most vitamins and commercial food. I noticed when I began dosing Skeeter all my other dogs lined up when I opened the bottle and they came running when I shook the jar for Skeeter.”

In just a few weeks, Jack noticed Skeeter was more alert, had more energy, was more active and had noticeably less trembling in his front legs. Over the past year, Jack has continued treating Skeeter with “Vim & Vigor” as well as all the other household pets. “They all come running when we shake the bottle, and they can’t eat it fast enough. They love it. Skeeter especially—he smells it and eats it right up. It’s a wonderful improvement in my old, dear friend!”

Dr. Shawn's Comments

Skeeter exhibited several problems common to older pets (sleeping more, some lethargy, dissociation from the other family members.) These signs are often seen in pets with early signs of cognitive disorder. After proper diagnosis, supplementation with products containing antioxidants and other such “brain foods” is frequently beneficial. The unique mixture of ingredients in Vim & Vigor often results in positive improvement in pets with cognitive disorder, as seen in Skeeter.
