My sweet, beautiful German shepherd, Maggy was born June 24, 2000. As I am a widow (for many years) Maggy and I enjoy a relationship that could be described as "equal partnership". We are well-tuned to each other. We graduated from every class there is for dog obedience, citizenship, therapy, agility. I tell people that she has a "PhD". She shops with me. Goes into every store in town, except supermarkets, of course. I recently took her to a movie. She knows the 'drill' and she curls up next to me for however long it takes.

One can imagine how horrified I was two years ago when Maggy suddenly showed signs of distress. We were out shopping and she had difficulty jumping into the car. It was evening when all the veterinary hospitals are closed so I did not hesitate to hurry her to the Animal Emergency. Her spleen had burst and she was minutes from bleeding out.

Three days later I was able to take my Maggy home. She bounced back so readily it was wonderful to see. The huge cyst on the end of Maggy's spleen was, indeed, malignant. I was so scared. The worst thing that my own vet did was to send me reports and testimony concerning this malignant spleen procedure telling me that most dogs do not survive more than eighty-one (8l !) days.

I set out to change all that. Maggy was already eating the best quality food available. Her weight stayed constant throughout her adult years.....staying in the range of 71-75 lbs. After the surgery I began to give her three meals a day. Subconsciously, I had blacked out that 81 days prognosis. Totally forgot about it until my subconscious mind was sure that 81 days had come and gone! Only then did I, again, read that horrible news.

This is when I remembered that there was a vetinarian who specializes in therapeutic, rehabilitative and all integrative care. We made the appointment and this vet was not expecting my 12-year old Maggy to be an eager and alert patient! We spent a couple hours with this wonderful veterinarian and she outlined a specific protocol of daily helpful things to do......and the most important change and benefit to Maggy was the introduction of a supplement called "System Saver".

It was no time until Maggy was physically active, like a pup, with her tennis ball, taking long walks, eating three hot meals a day.

I must interject here that Maggy had been prone to frequent diarhhea. Not any more!!! We know how much information is available to us just by looking at a BM. Well, System Saver was doing a super job on Maggy's elimination system. I have never seen a more beautiful bowel movement from Maggy before and this continues. Years ago I used to wonder why Maggy was eliminating such a low volume. Now, she is eliminating a greater quantity.......and more frequently!

I applaud the makers of System Saver! They knew what they set out to do....and they did it! It is a wonderful product!
