    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.
