IT'S A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT DOGS AGE FASTER HUMANS.
THE REASON? DOGS BODIES WORK AT A HIGHER
SPEED COMPARED TO HUMAN BODIES. THE FASTER METABOLISM BURNS
ENERGY AT AN INCREASED RATE CAUSING THEM TO AGE FASTER.
AND WHEN THE AGE, THEY START TO DECLINE.
SOME DOGS BECOME LESS MOBILE, OTHERS DEVELOP CHRONIC ILLNESS
AND IT CAN REALLY BE HEARTBREAKING FOR THE ENTIRE
FAMILY. JOINING ME THIS MORNING IS
JEANNE KELLY WHO IS HERE TO SHARE HER
PERSONAL STORY ABOUT HER BELOVED DOG AND ALSO JOINING ME THIS
MORNING IS DOCTOR MARCUS GITTERLE.
CHEIF CLINICAL OFFICE FOR ADAPT TO GENERATIONS, A COMPANY THAT'S
WORKING TO HELP IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PETS.
GOOD MORNING TO BOTH OF YOU. GOOD MORNING OLGA!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
I DO HAVE TO TELL OUR VIEWERS RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
THAT JEANNE IS OUR SUPERVISING PRODUCER OF THIS SHOW.
NORMALLY, NOT USED TO BEING IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS BUT I DID
ASK HER TO SHARE HER VERY PERSONAL STORY OF HERS AND I DO
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE JEANNE.
JEANNE IS BLESSED WITH A BEAUTIFUL
DOG, LILLY. AND I BELIEVE YOU'VE HAD HER
SINCE SHE WAS BORN, RIGHT? VERY CLOSE TO IT.
WE RESCUED HER WHEN SHE WAS THREE MONTHS OLD AND THANK YOU
FOR THE ROLE REVERSAL BUT I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING
THAT IS CLEARLY VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART WHICH IS YOU
KNOW, MY PET. AND LILLY, IS THE DAUGHTER WE
NEVER HAD. AND SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, SHE IS
THE LIGHT OF OUR LIFE. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S TOUGH BECAUSE
SHE IS AGING, SHE HAS SOME CHRONIC ILLNESSES AND IT'S VERY
VERY HARD ON US. AND WHEN DID THAT START?
IT STARTED ABOUT WHEN SHE WAS NINE, I WOULD SAY.
SHE WAS IN THE PARK CHASING A SQUIRREL AND BLEW OUT HER ACL.
AND THAT STARTED THE ROAD DOWN TO ALL OF THESE UNDERLYING
ISSUES THAT HAPPENED. RECOVERING FROM THAT, AS YOU
KNOW DOCTOR, VERY DIFFICULT. WE THOUGHT SHE'D NEVER JUMP
AGAIN. SHE DID GET THAT MOBILITY BACK
BUT SHE HAD TO BE ON PAIN MEDICINES, ARTHRITIS, ALL THESE
KIND OF THINGS TO HELP FOR THAT. AND THEN, ABOUT A YEAR OR TWO
LATER WE FOUND OUT AS EDERLY DOGS DO, SHE GOT CUSHING'S
DISEASE. WOW.
WHICH IS AN ADRENAL DISEASE. AGAIN WEEKLY MEDICATIONS, BLOOD
TESTS, TRIPS TO THE VET TO MAKE SURE WE MONITOR THE BLOOD WORK.
AND SO VERY VERY DIFFICULT AND FINALLY AT THE END OF LAST YEAR,
WE DISCOVERED THAT SHE HAD LYMPHOMA.
AND SO WE SENT ON A PROTOCOL OF CHEMOTHERAPY AS RECOMMENDED BY
THE VET BECAUSE WE REALLY DID WANT TO DO WHATEVER WE COULD TO
HELP OUT OUR LITTLE GIRL. AND YOU KNOW DOCTOR, I HEAR THIS
A LOT WITH FAMILY'S THAT HAVE A PET THAT THEY JUST ADORE.
WE HAVE RUBY. YOU KNOW RUBY JEANNE.
SHE'S ONLY 5. SHE'S HEALTHY BUT I TELL MY
GIRLS, LOOK YOU NEED TO BE PREPARED TO KNOW THAT SHE WILL
DECLINE WHEN SHE GETS OLDER AND IT CAN BE DEVASTATING FOR A
MOTHER, FOR A LITTLE GIRL LIKE MY KIDS WHO ADORE RUBY.
IT'S HARD ON THE FAMILY. PET LOVERS OFTEN SAY THAT IT'S
LIKE HAVING A CHILD THAT GETS OLD BEFORE YOU DO.
AND HER STORY IS SO TYPICAL. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE ARE
MILLIONS OF HEARTBREAKING STORIES LIKE THIS WHICH IS WHY
WE ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS BREAKTHROUGH.
AND LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS BREAKTHROUGH BECAUSE, I MEAN,
EMOTIONALLY YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH.
SPIRITUALLY, FINANCIALLY, FINANCIALLY, SURE.
GOING TO THE VET'S. I MEAN THE COST.
AND I KNOW WHAT THAT CAN BE LIKE.
AND IT TAKES A TOLL ON THE FAMILY.
THIS BREAKTHROUGH WHICH I'M INSPIRED TO EVEN TELL YOU ABOUT
IT TODAY JEANNE. REALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR
THE DECLINE. IN EVERY PARAMETER OF FUNCTION,
WE HAVE REALLY FOUND A BREAKTHROUGH, THAT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, TREATS AGING AT THE LEVEL IT STARTS.
HOW DOES IT WORK? WHICH IS CELLS.
SO, IT WORKS BY NATURALLY PROTECTING CELLS AND ALSO
REINVIGORATING THE ENERGY CREATION MACHINERY OF CELLS.
AGAIN, IN A NATURAL WAY. IT'S NOT A VITAMIN.
IT'S A PATENTED NUTRACEUTICAL. AND SO, BY RESTORING ENERGY
PRODUCTION CELLS AND BY PROTECTING CELLS AGAINST FREE
RADICALS WHICH PETS BECOME MORE AND MORE VULNERABLE TO AS THEY
AGE. WE'RE ABLE TO LET THE CELL BEGIN
THE REPAIR PROCESSES AND AS CELLS REPAIR THEMSELVES, TISSUES
GET BETTER, ORGANS GET BETTER, AND THE ENTIRE ANIMAL BEGINS TO
SHOW IMPROVED FUNCTION. AND THAT'S WHY WITHIN A WEEK,
VERY TYPICALLY, WE SEE EXTRAORDINARY BENEFITS IN
MOBILITY, COMFORT, FUNCTION, QUALITY OF LIFE, VIGOR,
VITALITY. THAT'S AMAZING.
I KNOW IT'S CALLED REVITAMAL. I HAVE A WHOLE HOST OF
QUESTIONS, I'M SURE YOU DO TOO. YOU SAID IT'S NOT A VITAMIN.
SO, HOW WOULD I GIVE IT TO MY DOG?
WOULD IT BE IN THE WATER, IN THE FOOD?
ONCE A DAY? EASY TO GIVE.
SIMPLE ONCE DAILY DOSING. YOU CAN PUT IT ON DRY FOOD OR
MOIST FOOD. DOGS WILL ACTUALLY LAP IT UP BY
ITSELF, TYPICALLY, BUT WE RECOMMEND PUTTING IN ON FOOD
GENERALLY. AND JUST ONCE A DAY.
THERE'S A SIMPLE DOSING CHART BASED ON DOG'S WEIGHT.
AND AGAIN, IT'S SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF PETS, NOT JUST DOGS.
AND IS IT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD GIVE MY DOG TODAY EVEN THOUGH
SHE IS HEALTHY? THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE ARE
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT. STUDIES SHOW THAT WHEN AN ANIMAL
IS STARTED BEFORE SIGNS OF AGING OCCUR, YOU KNOW, AT MATURITY,
YOUNG ADULTHOOD. WE HAVE SEEN, IN THE LAB,
ANIMALS LIVE TWICE AS LONG. OH MY GOODNESS.
WITHOUT DEVELOPING THE DISEASES OF AGING.
AND I HAVE A QUESTION. AT HER AGE NOW, WOULD IT BE
SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER?
I MOST DEFINITELY WOULD. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS TRULY A
COMPLEMENTARY FORMULA IN THAT NO MATTER WHAT HEALTH CHALLENGES A
DOG HAS, IT'S GOING TO SUPPORT THEM AND INCREASE THEIR QUALITY
OF LIFE. THAT'S GREAT TO KNOW.
GREAT TO KNOW. SO, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU
CAN MAYBE CONSIDER AND I WOULD WITH MY DOG TOO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH YOU
TODAY. YOU'RE WELCOME.
IT'S A PLEASURE.
AND JEANNE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING
YOUR STORY.
MY PLEASURE. I KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO BE
IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. WE DO APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. AND IF YOU'D LIKE MORE
