Early Reader Testimonials, Including Pip’s Long‑Term Journey

Pip’s story is one of the most meaningful long‑term reflections ever shared with me. His family stayed committed to his care and offered updates over the years that became part of this community’s history. Their experience is not a promise of what any dog will achieve. It is simply an example of how clarity and steady daily care can shape a family’s journey. You can read Pip’s full story on his dedicated page if you would like to learn more.

I am so glad we followed your advice, Cyndi.  My vet was very impressed with the results, and we have managed to keep him fit and healthy for 9 years [after diagnosis].

Some of the First Stories Shared by Pet Parents

“Cyndi, I just wanted to quickly thank you for writing such an amazing book. Your story made me feel like I was not alone in my craziness, as my Papillion Kenzie was told she would not live through the night on Nov 11th from liver failure. After reading everything I could, and reading nothing but contradictory information, I was lost and confused. I also was not going to sit back and watch her die. You gave me hope. I am writing this with Kenzie in my lap on January 14th 2015. She made it through the holidays and is pushing through thanks to your advice and menu options. I don’t know how many days I have left with her, but I know you have given me special moments I would have never had. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I have attached a picture of my Kenzie :)”

Kenzie back from liver failure

“Hello Cyndi, I have attached a dog picture of my 15 (almost 16) year old chihuahua named Bud. He was diagnosed with liver problems almost 9 years ago. The first sign he was sick was the vomiting. He also would hide under our bed and no amount of coaxing would get him to come out, not even his favorite snacks. When we took him to the vet, they we’re not sure why his liver enzymes were so elevated. A lot of tests and money later, the only thing they could tell me was his liver was a poorly functioning liver, probably from birth, and it was on a micro vascular level. Not a lot they could do. Fortunately, I had a vet that was willing to try several different approaches including supplements and diet changes. I found your book online, and was willing to give anything a try. I printed all the information that you provided, and took it to my vet to make sure it was the right way to go. The vet looked things over and said anything we could try would be helpful. Without doing something, my dogs enzymes were skyrocketing so fast, she felt he had only a matter of months left. So, I started on your food list, continued the supplements the vet had already given me, and added milk thistle per your information, and am so happy to say that almost 9 years later, our baby is doing well. I’m so thankful we have gotten all of the extra time to spend with him, and to my husband and I (who are childless), everyday is a blessing. He’s now older and having some issues with age, but on the whole is doing really well. And age related problems are expected at this time in his life, instead of seeing a young dog wither away as he was. So, I know this is lengthy, but I wanted to take an opportunity to thank you for all the information you provided online. Hopefully, it will continue to help dogs and their heartsick owners. Thanks so much!”

9 years later, our chihuahua Bud is doing well

“Hi Cyndi I wanted to leave you a well over due big thank you well actually 4 years overdue! Where do I begin well nearly 4 years ago in 2010 our world came crashing down, our beautiful little cheeky chappy Cocker Spaniel Charlie who had been full of life suddenly from nowhere with no warning like your dear Norman and all the other little fur babies classic symptoms after all the usual tests the dreaded Liver Diseases had been diagnosed and we were told that Charlie had only a few months to live! We were told there was nothing could be done and that all we could do is enjoying him while he is here with us. They put him on lots of terrible medications also high dose steroids and some disgusting prescription food that was not suitable for Charlie because it had far too much high fat in it he then got Pancreas problems then kidney problems which made him far worse. I felt I could not stand around any longer and just watch someone I loved suffer and wait for him to die I had to do something myself so I searched the internet to be honest I didn’t know what I was searching for? But I just knew there had to be something then there it was! That connection I was searching for ‘Hope for Healing Liver Disease in Your Dog’ after reading a small sample of your book .The connection was the story of Norman. I bought your book, and it was the best thing I did! After a full night of reading we went back to the vet taking the this book with us armed with all the great information and now with new HOPE we presented the vet your amazing book showing recipe’s and ideas advice and from then Charlie has been off all the medications except for his milk thistle and multi Vitamins he has a wonderful variety of food from your book. The vet kept my book for three weeks with the hope of helping other dogs and was ordering one herself. The Vet calls him the little miracle dog! I tell everyone about your book when people ask about Charlie. Thank you Cyndi From my heart to yours thank you XXXX”

Charlie lives for 4 more years!

“Morning, or is it evening?! Anyway max went bk in for more amino acid, vet was amazed by is appearance! His liver enzymes have halved, skin almost back to normal, coat looking great, still slim but not losing weight! Full of fun and being shouting and barking and looking for cuddles! She has been taking pix of him cos she can’t believe just how far he has come in basically 2 weeks! Thank you cyndi if u didn’t write ur book I wouldn’t have known how to care for him, heal him and believe. My boy has come on so well, and there is a long way to go, but we r on our way, thanks for the lift! Lol xxx”
Catherine Monaghan

Max doing sooooo well!

“Two years ago my beloved dog was sent home to die when her liver began failing after a series of emergency surgeries and heavy medication. Our vets held out no hope for us. I found this book online and started the basic protocul Cyndi outlines. Today our vets are astounded, her liver values are almost back to the normal range and her health continues to improve. I cannot stress enough how important this book is for dealing successfully with – and surviving – liver disease and liver-related conditions.”

This Book Saved My Dog's Life

“Hi Cyndi, I downloaded your e-book last Friday after receiving the diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver in our 5 year old cocker spaniel, Tanner. You don’t know how much hope you have given my family with your extensive research. I am so glad I came across your website. I was in such despair Thursday after Tanner’s ultrasound and the internal medicine Dr’s prognosis. My husband and I refer to your book often and call it our “bible”. We wonder if Norman was at all picky about some of the vegetables and new textures at first? Tanner doesn’t seem to like tofu, even with chicken broth on it. I guess we will resort to the granules. I know I will have many more questions to ask and observations to share with you, but I just wanted to drop a quick note and thank you for helping all of us who feel so helpless with our best friend’s health concerns.”
