All Natural Pain Relief
For Dogs
*

Offer Expires January 1, 2013
Casey Madison is our loving, hyper, aging Irish Setter. When
he was two he was hit by a car. For the next six months he
could not walk. We exercised and massaged his legs five
times a day. Eventually he was able to walk again, but was in
pain and finally could not get up and had to be carried to the
vet, who advised us to put him to sleep. We sought a
second opinion; only to find that he could be helped
temporarily. We put him on prescription drugs short term,
due to side effects. In the meantime we began looking for a
more natural way to provide him with pain relief...And
found Pauls Pet Products! He now, and for some
years, takes Actisyn. In the warmer months twice a
day and in the winter months three to four times
a day. He has been on Actisyn from Pauls Pet
Products for some years with no side
effects. While he is now white faced
and aging I am positive it is thanks to
Actisyn that he has lived virtually
pain free. I highly recommend
Actisyn to anyone looking
for a pain reliever, with
no side effects, for
long term use.
ActiVEX TOPICAL PAIN RELIEVER Developed to treat chronic joint and tendon
pain in horses. This formula contains a proprietary capsaicin extract that provides
horses deep penetrating, fast acting pain relief at a very affordable cost.
I am convinced that this product has
helped in allowing my crippled dog
to live a relatively pain free life.
He is active and happy and it
is because of the
effectiveness of the
pain reliever.
