Bandit's Buddies Stories What do you have to say about the program? Send me an email and let me know how well your dog is doing and let me know about your happy ending! Click here to see pictures of the dogs we are helping. Because of YOU, We Can Help More Animals November 18, 2005 - Lexy and Blue
Hi Robin - just another unbelievable
success story - well half of one anyway. My two rescues adopted in Feb
2005, were both heartworm positive- Lexy, a 1.5 year old female lab/rotty
mix who weighed 49 lbs and Blue, a 3-ish male Australian Cattle
dog/border collie mix who weighed 48 lbs. Lexy didn't show any signs
but tested positive and blue was weezing - neither one of them had any
stamina. So instead of the horrible poison treatment, I found your
website - ordered the herbs and started them both on it in May. Over
this summer they both made wonderful strides in energy and general
health. We had Lexy re-tested yesterday (she now weighs 63 lbs) and her
test was NEGATIVE!!! Because Blue was so far gone, I'm keeping him on
Bandit's program for another 4 months before getting him re-tested - I
want to make sure his test is negative too. I can't thank you enough
for your wonderful website. I tell everyone about the program and your
website.
January, 2006 update on
Jake: Jake is still doing great, although his cough has returned a
little just in the past week. It's not like it was, much quieter, but
it's definitely back. I'm going to start giving him Yucca again. Since
he had quit coughing, I stopped that about a month ago. I took him to
the vet after Thanksgiving, because he's doing so great. She said that
his heart sounds clearer than it did before. He still came back
positive...but it had only been 3 months. She wants me to bring him
back at the end of February. She said that she usually recommends
waiting 6 months before testing when they do it chemically to make sure
all traces are gone. On the bright side, he hasn't been this healthy
in years! He is so spoiled, I don't think he would touch any dry dog
food now, let along nasty old Dog Chow. :)
 Bo
tested positive on June 25, 2005 with a moderate case of heartworms,
Our Vet didn't go into much explanation, other than he needed $565.00 ,
and he couldn't guarantee that Bo would live thru it, he'd need 2 days
in the hospital, then I was to keep him "quiet" for 2-3 weeks. Now tell
me, how does one keep a Black Lab quiet, when he's so used to being
rowdy ??? LOL His health at time of the heartworm positive test: 10 lbs
overweight weighing 85 lbs, lethargic the last two months prior, not
running around like he usually did, a bad cough, slobbered constantly,
his eyes were dull looking, teeth were horribly colored with terrible
breath. Well after reading up on what the "typical treatment" could
possibly do to Bo, I began searching for alternatives for Heartworm
treatment, and that's when I found Bandits Buddies. After reading thru
the entire site lol, I emailed you, and that's when you sent me the info
I needed. I ordered the herbs , and on July 14 started Bo on the
routine. I could tell a big difference in Bo within two weeks. His eyes
became bright, he was actually running around his kennel again!! After 5
1/2 weeks, he's not coughing, slobbering has stopped and his appetite
has improved 100% since I started making his food. I change it weekly,
just to give Bo a variety, but I use a combination of chicken meat,
carrots, peas, greenbeans, oats, and omega fish supplements. I also use
fish meat, beef, to change it up a bit. I actually borrowed the recipe
from my Father, who used to feed this to his Coon Dogs. At this writing,
Bo has lost 10 lbs, he's not "fat" , he's lean and mean well not "mean"
in that sense, but he looks so healthy, everyone has asked what I am
feeding him! I am planning on keeping Bo on this for another 3 months,
then getting him retested, and if necessary, keeping him on it, until he
tests negative. Then I will put him on the preventive regiment for the
rest of his life. Bo turned 6 years old on June 16th, so I feel
that this was a Belated birthday gift for him!! This is the routine I
have him on currently:3 Artemsia, early
AM and bedtime July, 2006 Update: Hi everyone, gosh it's been awhile since I checked in. I wanted to give an update on Bo! Well, he is 100% heartworm free as of May 2006!!!!! I have recently gotten a Mini Schnauzer, and will put "Honda" on the regimin to keep him from getting these worms! I have completely taken Bo and Honda off of processed foods. I now make their food, treats out of whole grains, chicken or fish. They just love it! I can never thank this site enough for helping me to get my beloved Bo well! He is now 7 years old and healthy ! -Lorretta Williams
