Aging Jack Russell/Lab mix Regains Mobility, Vitality
Share
Stu was a Jack Russell/Lab mix who came to Richard and Rebecca Reidhaar from a shelter as a four-month-old puppy. At age 11, he suddenly lost the ability to move — he had to be carried everywhere. Within two days of starting Nzymes Antioxidant Treats, he was moving again. Within a week, he was running like a puppy. Stu passed away on March 29, 2018, at fourteen and a half years old. Richard and Rebecca wrote this to say thank you.
Stu's story is from around 2012 — but it is timeless. Every week, families contact us with a dog in Stu's situation. The details change. The story doesn't.
What did Richard and Rebecca do when their 11-year-old companion suddenly couldn't move?

Six years ago, our little buddy all of a sudden could not move. He had to be carried everywhere. We were frantic. I went online and discovered Nzymes. I ordered the Treats
and gave them as directed. At the time, Stu was 11 years old. We got him from the animal shelter when he was about 4 months old.
Within 2 days of giving him the treats, he was slowly moving around with little help. Within a week, he was running around like a puppy!!
He has taken Nzymes every day since. That is until March 29, 2018, when we lost our precious Stu. I would recommend Nzymes to everyone with a pet. It gave him a much better quality of life. We miss our little guy terribly. He was our constant companion for fourteen and a half years.
Just wanted to say thank you for helping to give him the extra time with us.

Footnote to Stu’s Story
We are often contacted by families seeking help for a pet struggling with mobility — and many times, that pet is in their advanced years, as Stu was. Nothing makes us happier than to hear that a beloved companion has found a new lust for life. The premise of our Antioxidant formulas is to provide a live-food supplement that equips the body for its own natural production of enzymes — giving it what processed food simply cannot provide.
We know that life is short and that no pet can live forever. But Stu's story is a reminder of what is possible when the body is given what it needs. Families like Richard and Rebecca's contact us every week. The names change. The gratitude doesn't.
We want the rest of every pet's time to be the best it can be. Nzymes adds life.
Is your aging dog losing mobility or showing signs of slowing down?
Stu's story plays out differently for every dog — the timeline, the breed, the underlying cause. But the common thread is what the body can do when provided with the live-enzyme nutritional resources it has been missing. For another moving story of a dog who suddenly lost mobility and found it again, read about Harry the Dachshund.
Antioxidant Treats — what Stu took every day
The live food protein that acts as a nutritional resource enabling the body's own natural production of antioxidant enzymes — supporting joint health, neurological function, mobility, and overall cellular performance. Stu took them daily from the week he could run again until the last year of his life.
