It has been a lousy year. In the spring we nearly lost our Flame to a septic abdomen and then, our Jet was diagnosed with histiocytic sarcoma. Jet was given a horrible prognosis and that was the beginning of our investigation of alternative medicine. You see, I am a retired veterinary nursing supervisor in a teaching veterinary school. I was there for 34 years. So, my background is in traditional medicine. In addition, we are professional dog trainers and own a ridiculous number of flat coated retrievers. All of our dogs are beloved family members. As we were dealing with Jet's cancer, our 10 month old dog, Shade, went into acute renal failure due to 2 doses of an NSAID. As scary as it was, each day his BUN went down. He was out of the ICU unit in 7 days and left the hospital with normal kidney function. We had nearly ordered the Five Leaf Kidney Products for Shade but it was not needed. Two days later, Flyer went into acute renal failure. His story was not as positive. Flyer's BUN and creatinine continued to rise for days as the doctors continued to paint a bleaker picture for us each day. Flyer stopped eating and began to retain fluid. His creatinine rose to 11. The swelling was horrible. Our dog was so sick and there were no answers as to why. Each day we would visit with food we had prepared in the hopes of tempting him. Finally, he showed some interest and he began to improve from that day on. Ten days and over $5000.00 later, Flyer walked out of the hospital alive but not well. His creatinine was 2.2 when he left. Now,I know this is not as high as many of the pets we have read about on this website but it was too high for us. By the time his creatinine was checked again, it had gone up to 2.4. We were informed that it would never get better. The kidney damage was permanent. This was not something we wanted to take lying down since we know about the progression of renal failure. Flyer is 7 years old. How would his life be if he continued to worsen over time (which is usually what happens). We order the "kit" from Five Leaf Pharmacy. As soon as it arrived, we started Flyer on the prescribed doses and added the greens to his food. We decided on the Five Leaf Pharmacy after we did a ton of research that we had done when Shade was sick. Based on our research, this program made the most sense. We were also impressed with the information available on the website. Much of the info was given away freely. We liked the fact that the ingredients are included on each of the products. We want to know what we are giving our dogs. The Dog Greens smell so good that I thought about taking some myself. Last week, Flyer went in for a very minor mass removal. However, with his history, the doctors wanted to see what Flyer's creatinine was. To their surprise, it was 1.2. On Flyer's discharge instructions the creatinine value was listed with an exclamation point behind it. In 34 years that was the first time I have seen that level of surprise. The doctors were clearly stunned and delighted. I told them that we were doing some alternative stuff and they said to keep on doing whatever we were doing because it was clearly working. Thank you, Amanda, for your commitment to our pets. As dog professionals, we always put the dogs in our care before making money. We do it because we love it. It is clear to me that you feel the same way.

We were just finishing a long walk in what was turning out to be a hot, humid Dallas morning. I turned around and saw my 11 yr old Springer Spaniel, Rupert, overcome with heat. I had heard about heat stroke so scooped him up and carried him home. We soaked him in the tub to cool him down while I called the vet for next steps. This was the beginning of a 3-week odyssey of emergency room visits, IV’s, fatally high bloodwork results indicating severe kidney issues, MRI and x rays, specialists and finally a diagnosis.

While he had never displayed ANY signs of health issues, Rupert was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure in its end stages with estimated 20-25% kidney function. His prognosis was 1-3 months maximum with an expected low quality of life. We were devastated. I got on the Internet like so many of us do to read everything I could find and came across this site (www.caninekidneyhealth.com). After reading the testimonials, I ordered the kidney health kit with immediate delivery. We started Rupert on the regimen. Had to put the greens into a vet syringe mixed with baby food in order for him to eat at first since he was so weak. Within 3 days, EVERY count was back down to normal. His energy level and appetite returned and he was back to his old self. He wasn’t cured but his discomfort and weakness was gone.

I will tell you that I am the biggest skeptic on the planet and would not have believed it if I hadn’t lived it myself. The vets were shocked – I had to comment that the vets we initially worked with were disappointingly not curious to expand their knowledge and open their minds to nutraceuticals despite seeing Rupert’s dramatic results. This is sad to me because I’d like to trust our vets to be informed and open-minded for all treatment protocol that helps our beloved friends. But, I digress…

We continued the kidney health regimen and continued to feed him his Nature’s Variety Chicken or Beef raw patties daily. We also administered at home the subcutaneous fluid treatments (500 ml of IV fluid between his shoulder blades twice per day). Needless to say, I highly recommend this product for your babies with kidney issues.

Spanky, my 11 y/o mini schnauzer has suffered most of his life with chronic liver disease, Irritable bowel disease, skin conditions, and now chronic kidney disease. His lab values were very high (Alk Phos = 280, Bun/Creat Ratio = 36, Cholesterol = 434 Triglycerides = 638) His urinalysis was even more frightening! (3+ proteinurea & a protein:creatinine ratio of 4.4). His Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) was 180 and he had ballooned up to 27.8 lbs! He was not yet presenting with any serious symptoms except for drinking a lot of water, but I knew something had to be done. My vet began to name several prescriptions drugs & diets he would put Spanky on, but I was wary of putting him on anything without trying to help him naturopathically first. I work in healthcare & I am studying to be a physician. I know many drugs are nephrotoxic & hepatotoxic. They relieve the symptoms but do not treat the cause of the dysfunction, eventually leading to the animal's decline. I knew the kidney diets were processed dog food which I absolutely refused to feed him. He had been eating a 5 star dog food & if that wasn't good for him, how could a processed kidney diet be any help? I frantically scoured the internet for an alternative treatment & diet & then I found Five Leaf Pharmacy. I called Amanda immediately & although she had just lost one of her own dogs after a very long healthy life, she called me back right away. She explained the program, answered all my questions & concerns & suggested one of her heart tinctures for Spanky's blood pressure. We talked for 45 minutes & I felt so confident that this was the right thing to do, I ordered her products the second I hung up the phone. Within 3 days I had transitioned Spanky onto a raw organic diet using her plan and began him on the treatment program. Within a week his skin problems were resolving, & his stool was firm for the first time in his life! I waited until he finished the full 9 weeks before I rechecked his labs. My vet says his jaw hit the floor several times after seeing Spanky's results. [Alk Phos = 151, BUN/Creat Ratio = 28.8, Cholesterol = 312, Triglycerides = 130, 1+ proteinurea, Protein:Creatinine ratio = 2.7, MAP = 117, and Spanky weighed 22 lbs] My vet said that he couldn't even recommend any prescription drugs because Spanky no longer met the criteria. I can't thank you enough Amanda. Spanky is all I have in the world & there is nothing I wouldn't do for him. He is so happy & healthy because of your products & I will continue to use them for the rest of his life. I will also send you a document of lab results I compiled to show his before & after transition. Anyone that is skeptical about naturopathy, DO NOT pass up this opportunity to supplement whatever medication your pet is on with these amazing tinctures & diet. If you are as lucky as I am to have caught the problems early on, PLEASE try these products, follow the program & be amazed at the results, they WILL HELP. Thank you Amanda & Five Leaf Pharmacy for the many healthy years I know you have given back to my little angel.

A few years ago, my beloved adopted dog Suze (pronounced "Susie" --Black lab and Border Collie mix) of 13 years suddenly fell extremely ill. She could not move out of bed nor eat or drink. Worried sick and crying, I consulted various vet opinions and drove her all over my metro area of Cleveland, Ohio for help. This was such a lonely time as I was also taking care of my elderly and ill Mother--virtually alone. The prices for tests were astronomical and I could not afford it. So, I chose to do what was absolutely necessary to find out what was wrong with Suze.

It was guessed/diagnosed to be a kidney related issue, perhaps a failure or the beginnings--and one vet said "well...maybe its time". After learning what the implications of this was, naturally, I was devastated. I did not know if I could be able to do all the life prolonging measures prescribed. But, nonetheless, I was ready and was not going to give up on her as she had been healthy her whole life. I then thought to myself that perhaps this was mis-diagnosed eventhough she had all the symptoms. I have taken immaculate care of her for years, had her on a raw and super healthy diet, gave her plenty of love and exercise and so I wanted to be sure.

I consulted a holistic vet and she too thought this could be a red flag for kidney issues. She also discovered that Suze had a severe urinary tract infection to boot. And let me say this folks, make sure if your dog is going through this you get that under control because it can and in itself spell the worst for your friend.

Moving on, I searched for alternative treatments. I knew Suze was still with such a will to live--and in some ways--believe she knew I needed her. I discovered Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy via web searches and read all about the body cleanse and detox. I talked with Amanda who was extremely helpful and decided to use the power of plants to rid the infections and cleanse the filters of the body, the liver and kidneys.

This product had Suze perking up little by little. I followed other recommendations in the booklet that comes with the treatment such as the hydro-therapy. Suze continued to just get better and after a few weeks, she had been more perky than I had seen her be in a long time! She got to a point where she was running around the house like a puppy--especially after the water treatment! I took her to the park many times and she was running like a deer. To me, it felt like a miracle and this amazing improvement in her health was totally touching and life changing for me. I will never ever take another day for granted that she will always be here.

Please understand that I am not trying to give anyone false hope or guaranteeing anything.....Rather, I am just sharing my experiences with dealing with Suze's sudden illness and trying to offer some advice and ideas that could possibly help others. At the end of the day, the decisions are yours. I suggest that you get an accurate diagnosis if your baby ever goes into this direction. But, I also know from experience that traditional vet treatments are not a guarantee either and can cost thousands and have negative side effects. I do believe that if you want what could be considered as close to the truth as you can get in such a situation, that you need to seek and find as it will not come to you via the industrial pet pharmaceutical complex which is exclusive obscene profit driven.

I did some research myself as to the powerful cleansing properties of the ingredients in the tonics that Five Leaf offers and sure enough, when used in the proper amounts, they can achieve amazing results in cleansing the kidneys and liver. It was also clear that when you see these products, that they are of the utmost quality. I again want to mention how kind, caring and helpful Amanda was and still is. Clearly she is first and foremost motivated by happy endings and customers than the bottom line. That is a rare find these days in a world of commerce.

It has been 3 years since Suze first fell ill. At 16, nearly 17, going on 10....she is still on the treatment as a regular maintenance. I do believe this was a big part of her recovery. Results may also vary as to how well you cared for your pet in the first place and what kind of diet and environment you provide them. Exposure to lawn chemicals, cigarette smoke, and poor diet with little exercise all work against your dog in the first place.

If you are going through a similar situation, I would strongly suggest doing what I suggest above and trying this product to supplement other prescribed treatment in the program. Try and listen to people who know about this treatment and who have success with it. Not those who will poo poo something they have not tried or know nothing about--or is in an arena of a type of medicine in which they are completely void of knowledge or education.

I will conclude by saying.... Stick with this and also keep your moods up as dogs can literally smell fear and worry.... I have the greatest compassion for anyone facing the above and wish them the best. I hope this story will help others and I hope it will also spread the word about a fantastic product. Maybe this can help save your friend's life or at least add more years. I really Hope this story helps... Oh, and by the way, I have to stop now as I must go and pay Suze some attention!

My 11 year old dog, Kody, started experiencing symptoms of excessive drinking and urination in September 2013, about a month after he had a huge fatty mass removed from his left shoulder. After mentioning it to the vet we tested him for hyperthyroidism and Cushing’s disease but both tests came back negative. There was no further discussion on other possibilities and she just told me to keep an eye on him. Unfortunately I didn’t do any research on possible reasons he increased his drinking. In March of 2014 he began having diarrhea and wasn’t eating very well. I wasn’t real worried at first and attributed it to a stomach bug. The vet offered to do blood work but I declined thinking it was something he’d get over on his own. After a week or so he was eating even less, acting more lethargic, still having diarrhea and a few bouts of vomiting. At this point I brought him back to the vet for blood work. It took almost a week to get the results due to lack of communication from my vet, so a week later I was notified that his creatinine (2.1) and BUN levels were “slightly” elevated. Since it took so long to hear back from the vet I didn’t think it was really a big deal. I remember thinking; if it were serious she would have made the effort to get back to me quickly. Once I did hear back she still didn’t tell me exactly what she thought the problem might be but told me she wanted a urine sample. She didn’t seem anxious to get it, pretty much told me to get it to her when I could. Well I didn’t act quickly because I didn’t know it was very important. After another week, I got her the urine sample and she tells me that Kody was in Stage 3 Kidney failure. I was shocked! Completely distraught and feeling very confused and helpless, I got online and started to do my research. My vets only recommendation was to get Kody started on a kidney food diet. He ate it for a day or two but then wouldn’t touch it. He completely stopped eating and was very lethargic. After days of research and very, very back communication from my vet, I found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. I went through the whole website and read almost every single testimonial. After all the positive things people were saying about the effects of the products, I figured that it couldn’t hurt to try them. To be honest, with the 30 day money back guarantee, I was thinking I get them, they won’t work, I’ll send them back and all I’ll be out is the shipping. After ordering the products I contacted another vet for a second opinion about Kody. By this time he hadn’t eaten in almost a week, slept all the time, and was having trembling spells that really scared me. He was not the Kody I knew. From everything I read his symptoms were end stage kidney failure. I cried all day, every day for an entire week thinking I was losing my baby. It was absolutely horrible. The vet told me to get him to a specialist asap to have more blood work done since it had been almost 3 weeks since his initial blood work, as well as get an ultrasound to make sure there isn’t something else going on. The blood work showed a creatinine of 4.0 up from his initial 2.1 but his kidneys didn’t look really shriveled and damaged. We left him at the hospital for 36 hours for fluids because he was pretty dehydrated, and meds to help him feel better. Unfortunately after 36 hours his creatinine was up to 4.8. Against the doctors recommendations I chose to take Kody home and give him lots of love and care in what I thought were his final days. I left the vet hospital with anti-nausea meds, sub-q fluids, and pain meds. In the meantime, the kidney canine health package that I ordered from Five Leaf had arrived so I thought I’d give it a shot. I gave him the oils with organic pureed apples and tried to get him to eat anything since, by this time he hadn’t eaten in 10 days. I started sub-q fluids twice a day along with the kidney health oils as directed and any foods he would eat. Within 4 days I noticed Kody had a little more energy, he wasn’t sleeping all the time and the trembling was occurring less. He also seemed somewhat interested in food. We got him to eat some deli turkey meat, which was extremely exciting! He would go on walks again, super short but he seemed interested in going. A couple days later he was still occasionally eating on his own and I continued to syringe feed him carrots and cucumbers. His stools were more solid, he wasn’t vomiting and his energy level continued to increase. I was trying not to get my hopes up but enjoying every extra day we had with him. We decided to take him camping last weekend, in my mind it was one last camping trip with him. He did great! We walked miles each day, he ate more than he had been and he seemed really happy. It was such a great weekend. And that brings us to today. Kody is almost back to normal! He is begging for food, eating more than he has in months, drinking a lot of water again, going for 2 mile walks, following me around the house and very alert. He is my Kody again! I am completely blown away and overjoyed by the results. I attribute his recovery to the amazing herbal oils from Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, the great diet recommendations I found on their site, as well as the sub-q fluids I’ve been giving him twice a day for almost 2 weeks. We still have a week left to go on the Canine Kidney Program, and I haven’t even started him on the dog greens yet. We go back to the doc in a week to see where his blood levels are. I’m really hoping we get some great news, at least I think we should based on the amazing progress he has made clinically. I will continue feeding him from the diet recommendations on the website, as well as the dog greens and oils if needed. I am so glad that I decided to try out the Canine Kidney Program and want to thank you for all of the wonderful information on your website. You have saved my baby’s life when the vets were so quick to want to put him down. It’s been a challenge but also an amazing journey. I’m so grateful for every extra day we have with him, and I’m so happy I get to give him all the unconditional love and attention he deserves. I’ve been given a second chance with him and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

Around Thanksgiving 2013 we noticed that Benji seemed to be coughing a lot. We took him to vet who diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection. We put him on steroids and antibiotics for a couple weeks and we noticed that his cough didn't get better, per se, but it did change. So we took him back to the vet and ran some tests and it was determined that he was in the early stages of Chronic Heart Failure and had started to develop fluid in his lungs. So we decided to try him out on some Lasix to remove the fluid. Well within a couple days he was in full blown renal failure. It was to the point that by the time we got him back to the vet they were pretty much telling us we would probably have to put him down.

Now I do have to give my vet credit, he did not want to give up that easily and suggested that we try keeping him there and giving him IV fluids for a couple days. well this did the trick and we were able to bring him how a couple days later. But it wasn't long after that that we started to see him declining again. so we took him back, they kept him overnight again and gave him more fluids. When I picked him up the next day we were told that we would need to give him IV fluids subcutaneously every couple days. So we did. and in the mean time, I started doing some research online to see what I could do for him.

That's when I found Five Leaf. Now I will say this, I was a little skeptical at first, especially because every vet I spoke to about it, including the holistic ones, had never heard of it. But I took a chance and order the Kidney Health starter kit. Well let me tell you, THIS STUFF WORKS! just after the first week, we started to notice a chance in Benji. We did three back to back rounds of the meds and his kidneys are doing fantastic! It is hard to believe that we almost put him down 6 months ago.

And now that we have his kidneys in order, we will be purchasing the Heart Health meds to help his heart and really get him back in shape!

One year ago in September 2013 my 8 year old shitzu Bodie started acting funny. He seemed to have neck pain and had stopped eating and was just not himself. I took him to the vet and for several days we ran tests trying to figure out what was wrong with him. He had been to the vet in August and his blood work was normal so in the beginning we weren't running that. 2 weeks or so passed and he wasn't getting any better, we had him on antibiotics, 2 doses of muscle relaxers and I was watching my baby melt away from me. We finally did blood work, and I remember the floor falling out from under me. When the blood work came back he was diagnosed as being in full kidney failure. His BUN was 95 and his Creatinine was 7.9. I was shocked. We did fluids every day for 2 weeks and I was sent home with a dismal prognosis. I was given a special diet for him and the chances of him making it to Christmas was unheard of. I took him to a second vet who did xrays and confirmed that my baby had shriveled to no kidneys and again I was told he had less than a month to live. After the shock calmed down, I started researching and praying. I put him on the soft kidney food, I agreed to Azodyl and Epikatan as herbal meds, I added veggies and fruits to his diet. He started feeling better and I started to feel hope. I found Canine Kidney Health and started Bodie on the blood and heprin drops. He has been on them for a year now. Well I am happy to report it has been a year, and yesterday we received the most incredible news ever. ALL of Bodie's bloodwork is back to normal. His BUN is at 20 and his creatinine is at 2. I give thanks to many people for this miracle, for all the prayers of healing, for my vet who understood my search for natural products and for the grace of God leading me to your site and product! I read the stories on here and never thought I would be posting a success story about my baby boy! We will be celebrating his 9th birthday on Christmas!!! Thank you with all my heart!!!!

Our 7 year old Goldendoodle, Bob Barker, started getting sick late September. He was very weak, wasn't interested in food, and was having accidents. We took him to the vet where he was diagnosed with Lyme Nephritis which is basically kidney failure. The vet sent us away with little to no direction other than to eat a prescription food and take a couple pills twice a day. About a week into his diet we were not seeing results we hoped for so we turned to the Internet and found the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. We purchased the kidney program and within a couple days we noticed a major improvement in him. It was almost like we got our old dog back! Granted, we did loose Barker on 1/1/15, but after what the Vet told us and what we have read, getting 3 extra months out of our dog was a rare thing and we accredit this to the kidney plan we followed from Five Leaf. No, we cannot prove it but in our hearts, we feel that by giving him those simple drops every day it helped us enjoy our dog that extra time before we had to say goodbye. We will be forever grateful for that!

This is the story of Nosey Nick and his second shot at life after having Kidney failure. Nosey, up until April 2007, was a spunky little Red Poodle who loved to see everyone and run and played constantly. On Easter morning in 2007, we woke up to a house full of vomit, and diarrhea, and blood. This put us into a MAJOR panic. I took Nosey to the VET the next business day immediately and we saw Dr. Nall at the Etown Animal Hospital. He said that Nosey’s numbers were off the charts, and not to expect him to live long at all and the best solution was to “put him down”. That was not an option in my book. Several Dr’s, a job and lots of money later the doctors all had the same conclusions. I called my son Robert, Easter morning letting him know the condition of Nosey and to also let him know Easter would still be on but very little will be cooked and celebrated. Robert then decided to spend hours on the computer when he found The Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. We did extensive research, called several times, got the recommended treatment and then the tough times were yet to come. We did water therapy, a major diet change, and a life changing detox and cleansing for Nosey pretty much on a daily basis. Once the detoxification and the products kicked in Nosey literally did a 180degree turn for the BEST. He acted like he was a pup, he ran, played, barked and did all the normal PUP activities. When we took Nosey back to the VET for his numbers to get checked again the VET, the Nurses, myself and everyone else was astounded to see that his numbers were back to normal and the kidney failure was gone. Nosey then lived another 10 fantastic years spoiled rotten and very much a pup mind. I have to admit the product, the diet change, and all of everyone’s hard work to make sure that Nosey was well worked and I am so thankful for the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy.

It was a heart breaking moment May 2013; Nosey’s age had finally caught up to him. He was almost 18 years old and for a toy poodle that is almost unheard of. He passed away and if it wasn’t for Amanda and Five Leaf Pharmacy he never would have had the 10 years of quality of life. I absolutely would recommend The Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, Amanda and everything that she has to offer for any pet. I absolutely would recommend The Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, Amanda and everything that she has to offer for any pet.

I hope everyone has the best of luck that we have had and a huge THANKS TO AMANDA AND THE FIVE LEAF PET PHARMACY.

The second week in November my little baby, Cookie, was diagnosed with renal failure. Her BUN values were through the roof. ( I do not have them with me at the moment or I would tell you what they were). The vet said "I can't predict how long she'll be around but we'll just keep her comfortable, that's all we can do". Cookie was drinking a lot of water, that was the only sign I had that something wasn't right. Nevertheless, I wasn't buying the death sentence, and, I was hell-bent on finding a way.

In 2013 we had lost our little boy Chihuahua from renal failure and he suffered terribly. I had started taking them both for acupuncture before he was diagnosed. It is posted to you tube.

Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy entered the picture about a week after my research
in November. My decision to go with 5 leaf pet Pharmacy was EASY.

After speaking at length with Amanda, she is an angel and so lovely, sincere.
Amanda took the time to explain to me how the products are made from A to Z. After being informed by Amanda it was a no brainer. I had nothing to lose and if perchance it didn't work I had the satisfaction of knowing that I did the best I could and used the best products available for my little cookie.

Fast forward to now... I just can't tell you how happy... I am.. and I'm ecstatic because I never thought the outcome would be so unbelievably wonderful. My 15 and a half year old baby feels great and is doing great and eating a lot .

In January I called the vet and told her that cookie was doing very well on the natural products that I purchased. The vet said "I'm shocked!!! to be honest with you, I didn't think she would still be with us. Well whatever works." she added, didn't ask me anything else about it.

She hasn't been to the vet since November. She wags her tail she loves the hydrotherapy, she gets very spunky after dinner and wants to play with Daddy and he still takes her for walks.

I did the best I could following the directions. And embarrassingly I must tell you I purchased some food for canine kidney health from a store called long dog fat cat and she loves it. If you don't follow the directions perfectly it still works great and what a testament to Five Leaf, Amanda, you have made a difference in so many people's lives by creating these top notch natural Organic products that I trust in, I couldn't be happier with the outcome wonderful
BELIEVE!

Dear Amanda, I should have written this review a year ago so please forgive me for the delay. We've had our wonderful soft coated wheaten terrier Charlie since he was seven weeks old in October, 2003. He saved my life out of a dreadfully deep depression; my world wouldn't be the same without him. He's energetic and playful and loves everybody. But a year or so ago he was diagnosed with kidney disease and we were told he should get limited exercise, prescription food and as much comfort as we could give him (that last part is a no-brainer since he has the run of the house). My husband and I were heart broken when we were told he only had 25% of his kidney function left (which, we're told, is the earliest time kidney disease can be detected). We love our vet and trust him implicitly but we had to research other options to help him heal. Finding you took a quick google search. Reading your program was so enlightening. Just reading that we could make his food, fill him with holistic HEALING methods and reading the recommendation that he get EXERCISE was wonderful. Then I read your testimonials. One that truly warmed our hearts was from a woman named Cheryl (my name too) from Virginia (where I live). That was the clincher. Karma! So we ordered the program and followed it to the letter. By the next visit to the vet Charlie's numbers had turned around significantly. Our baby boy (okay, he's almost 12) was coming back! Doggie parents know when their little ones aren't well. They don't want to eat, they lay around a lot. They spend a lot of time in other rooms away from the family; it's heart-breaking. Within a week of starting your program he sprung back! Our baby boy was on the mend. I tear up every time I see him because you saved his life. We bought a filtration system that hooks up under our sink and creates essentially distilled water. And we bought ice cube trays for it as well; even though the refrigerator makes ice we want him to have the best. Our house is filled with beds, furniture, blankets and pillows. My husband always covers Charlie's lower half to keep those kidneys warm so the blood flows.

Thank God for you for developing this amazing program. I tell absolutely everyone about it. You even inspired my niece to make home made food for her cats who have always been healthy.

Heidi came to my wife June and I from a lovely breeder at Cowra, a country town in mid-Western New South
Wales (N.S.W), Australia. We picked her up at the age of 7 weeks and she came home with us to Kiama, on the South Coast of N.S.W. She settled in with us and our other Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) Toby, and exciting sable-merle boy. Heidi, being my wifes’ pup, was trained by herself, growing up in our household all meant obedience training, agility training and lots of activity. As time went on, Heidi was trialling in both disciplines. She obtained quite a high level of titles in both disciplines, also gaining several places at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in agility. As years went on, Heidi retired from competition at the age of about 12 years. Last year at the age of 16, she had an injury. After 2 weeks, the antibiotics were changed; with the warning from the Veterinarian if Heidi stopped eating, started vomiting, got lethargic, we were advised to consult a Veterinarian immediately. She had been on this antibiotic for approximately 1 week. Of all things, when she had the reaction, we were at Bathurst, a mid-Western N.S.W. town here in Australia, at an agility trial. I immediately contacted a Veterinarian I knew. He asked me to immediately meet him at his surgery, even though it was a Saturday night. She was given an injection to stop the vomiting and settle her down. I took her back to my caravan at the Trial site, with instruction to phone the vet first thing in the morning if she was not better. This ended up being the case, and this most helpful Vet then put her on a drip for the day, telling me to go back to the Trial and pick her up when the Trial finished. I was on my way home, some 180 miles away. When we arrived home our own Vet put her on a drip again and did blood tests, which indicated kidney deterioration. After 4 days of treatment, nothing had improved very much. We persevered for 2 more days with a sebaceous drip via her side. After another blood test came back with very bad results, I then thought Heidi might have to be put to sleep. The Vets had told me they were unable to do any more productive treatment. I asked to have some time to consider things and went home and got onto the internet. I found Amanda’s Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, with some good recommendations. I immediately made contact via the website and ordered the program. It arrived in Australia in 2 days! Heidi started the program straight away and within 3 days had started to eat on her own again. Considering she had not eaten on her own for approx. 12 days, her weight had gone down to 6.2 kilograms. Once she started eating, she
has not stopped since being on the program (for about 8 weeks). Her weight has gone back up to 8.4 kilograms and her blood test came back to normal. She has been a Delta Pet Therapy Dog for the last 7 years. She visits local Dementia Care Facilities and interacts with all the patients. She has only missed about 6 weeks due to her kidneys. Heidi, still at her age, loves visiting, always waits at the door to get her bandana put on and then finds someone looking a bit down and cheers them up. Heidi is now 17 years young and back to life. Our Vets have been very helpful and supportive all the way through this very hard time. Heidi now walks about 200 yards on the beach and is having 1 treatment of drops and 1 hydro session per day plus the diet. I am forever grateful to Amanda for her program.

Forever grateful,

P.S. Heidi chased a Kelpie dog the other night at agility training; it was chasing a ball and she didn’t catch it but enjoyed the chase! She came back smiling and tail wagging. By the way, Heidi had 3 pups who are 11 years old now and still trialling. 1 of the pups won her event at the Sydney Royal Easter Show 2012 and the same event in the Sheltie Nationals in the same year.

Your products have been a miracle for our 15 year old pug-mix Buzz! After doing fine for a year on kidney diet and Azodyl, he took a sudden nosedive: lethargy, shivering, acidic stomach, vomiting, temporary appetite loss, bad breath and gas, and even poor coat appearance. It broke our hearts to see him deteriorate and suffer this way. At the vet, his CREAT was 5.7. Desperate, I searched online fors omething to help and found this site. We began daily fluid injections around the same time I received your Kidney Health Package One and promptly started him on the herbal drops and greens. Only one week later, his CREAT went down to 5.0. I knew the diet was starting to help but didn’t want to get my hopes too high. He only got better. After three weeks, he was night and day, his energy back in full force, all his symptoms fading away. We got another blood test. His CREAT dropped to 3.5. We even stopped the fluid injections and he continues to do great, just like is old self. After finishing our second 3-week cycle, we will continue using the greens and the Fall/Spring herbal drop cleansings as recommended. Our vet was thrilled and couldn’t believe the turnaround! I’ll never forget the look of amazement and excitement on his face. He even asked for your information so he can refer other patients! We’ve already recommended you to our friends too. Your products are the real deal!! We feel like we’ve given Buzz a new lease on life and no one can believe how good he’s doing now. Thank you for giving us more time with our best friend.

Sage our now 12 year old lab was in major kidney failure a week before christmas 2014. I was told by our vet it would be a matter of days until we would have to bring her back, put her down. I could not give up on my first dog. Especially while she wagged her tail, looked at me like the same old dog she has always been. I called Amanda at five leaf and told her our story. She gave me hope, things to try. We started the Rena cleanse and greens right away. She could not even walk at this time. I actually had to carry her outside for the first week to help her go to the bathroom. Within the first day I could tell she was getting better. The shaking was going away. We continued for a month with the program. I never thought Sage would be back to being the same dog. It is now May of 2015, Sage is doing great. she has actually even been out hunting again at the old age of 12! Without the five leaf program, Amanda's help I know without a doubt that Sage would not be here. I would recommend this to anyone who's dog is having Kidney failure.

Our Springer Spaniel/Border Collie mix was diagnosed with kidney disease in January, 2013. We began the Canine Health Program in February, 2013. By January, 2015 her Creatinine level had gone from 2.3 to normal and her BUN level from 82 to normal. Our veterinarian considers this a miracle. Before we began the program Joy was suffering from tremors and exhibiting signs of acute discomfort. Shortly after treatment began the tremors disappeared along with her distress. Joy is now 15 years old. We feel the Canine Kidney Health Program has enabled her to live longer in comfort.

We got Lupo at 3 1/2- 4 months old as a rescue. He was always playful and friendly and is now still. After having him only 3 months,at a local dog park he caught Leptospirosis and that was not a recommended vaccination at our vet so he didn't have the shot for it. We noticed he was getting lethargic, not eating his food when he usually jumps up and down when it's time to eat, and very thirsty and going pee a lot more than normal even after thinking it was because of the summer heat. We took him to the vet and his BUN was around 35 and his creatinine and phosphorus were also higher than normal. We took him to the emergency hosptial to run blood tests and get him IV fluids and we found out two days later he was positive for Leptospirosis. My wife and I were devastated. We had just gotten him and he was such a good dog and too young for this to happen. His condition worsened even after three days in the ER under 24 hour care. They were giving him IVs and antibiotics but his BUN numbers were going up by 39-40 points per day with 3 IVs per day. The Creatinine was 7 and Phosphorus was high too. We were told by the end of day two his kidneys were failing and his BUN reached 160 Creatinine was 10.8 and phosphorus was 15. Three veterinarians told us that he had a poor prognosis and that we should start thinking about kidney dialysis, kidney transplant, euthanasia, or make him as comfortable as possible at home and expect the worse. We couldn't accept this so my wife and I found this website and overnighted the six week package. We took him home after three days and the vets did nothing but give IVs and antibiotics, which we could have given him the pills at home and we did. At home we started him on a raw food diet and this system and he immediately started eating like normal again, even begging. He also was active and going outside playing like usual. He had blood work done after the first three week package and his numbers were BUN 37, Creatinine 1.6., and phosphorus was 6.0. I am absolutely positive this system saved our puppy. If you have any kidney problems in your dog and get these responses from your vet, ORDER THIS PACKAGE NOW!! It is the BEST chance to save your dog's life! Lupo is now 10 months old and healthier than he was before I believe. He is active and makes us laugh everyday and we are thankful for finding this miracle cure, and it really is, as well as the website which gives information that is also useful about diet and care. Special thanks to Amanda for all the help keeping in contact with me and answering all my questions! This is a literal life saver!

My dog, Smoke, an 11 year old black lab/ridgeback mix, was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2011. He had a tough battle with the disease but eventually over a few months time and a round of doxycycline, he returned to his normal, happy self. I never suspected that another disease was growing in his body as a direct result of the lyme. Fast forward to the summer of 2014. Smoke was showing symptoms of lethargy and a loss of appetite. I couldn’t even get him to take a bite of chicken or roast beef! Something was clearly wrong. His blood work showed the tell-tale signs of Protein Losing Nephropathy (a kidney disease caused by lyme). My vet delivered the bad news with a heavy heart and offered a bleak prognosis. I asked about treatment (both natural and mainstream) and he said that because PLN is an autoimmune disease, there really wasn’t anything doctors or vets can do. The vast majority of dogs experience irreversible kidney failure and die with 3 to 6 months. I was heartbroken. Smoke had already lost close to 15 lbs, he wasn’t eating and hardly moving, his BUN and Phosphorus skyrocketed and his Albumin (protein) levels dropped to as low as 1.6 (normal is 2.6+). He was digressing quickly and it seemed as though he was slipping away and succumbing to the same fate as so many other dogs have before him. Meanwhile, as I was tirelessly searching for a ray of hope on internet forums and researching alternative treatments for PLN, I stumbled upon a testimony on a YouTube thread. A lady said that her dog had lyme nephrosis/kidney failure and with the help of Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy products, her dog made a full recovery. I contacted Five Leaf the very next day.Amanda at Five Leaf was so gracious in answering all of my many questions and helping me formulate a diet and program that would eventually get Smoke back on his way to full health. His progress was slow and incremental at first but after a year and a half of continuous improvements his blood work is now just about normal ( His albumin levels are hovering slightly below 2.6 while BUN, phosphorus, blood/creatinine ratio, etc are well within in the normal range). More importantly, Smoke now has tons of energy and is in great physical shape…the vets at my animal hospital are calling him a miracle dog. Anyway, I can’t thank Amanda enough…I have no doubt that if I followed only the mainstream treatment, Smoke would have died. His condition was complex, so we needed to address his health by adding a few extra natural remedies in addition to the standard Five Leaf Program (such as agaricus mushroom, systemic enzymes, eggshellent, etc)…she offered all of this information to me at no additional cost. I’ve seen her Five Leaf products work first hand and I don’t think there’s a better program out there to help save your dogs life from kidney failure. I’m actually so impressed by the results, I made a video demonstrating how to prepare and administer the foods and supplements (see below for links). It’s been 1 1/2 years since Smoke’s diagnosis. He still has some room for improvements, however, I’m hopeful and expecting that his remaining years will be full of happiness and health.

In 2011 my precious dog, Cookie, was diagnosed with kidney failure. She was given a month at best to live. I was devastated. Her veterinarian wasn’t very hopeful. His diagnosis was “at her age there usually isn’t much you can do.” She was twelve. I started researching kidney disease in dogs and came across Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy!! I couldn’t wait to try the products. I immediately placed my order and started Cookie on the program. I was diligent with the drops, dog greens, and her healthy diet. Consistency was the key. I had Cookie’s blood work done every six weeks and all her numbers were starting to be within normal range! Even her hair came back thick and beautiful red. She was like a puppy again running outside and playing. When her numbers were totally back in the normal range I was able to stop giving the daily drops and put her on the maintenance program. Always giving the greens and keeping the healthy diet. Amanda and her amazing holistic approach has been the answer to my prayers! Five years later, Cookie’s kidney failure is just a memory!! I have kept her on the maintenance program, (giving the drops in the spring and fall), have had her blood work done every six months and have given her the greens twice a day for the past five years. Cookie is now 17 and is an amazing dog!! I owe it all to FIVE LEAF PET PHARMACY...without them I wouldn’t have my beloved Cookie. I can’t say enough about these products. I wish everybody knew about this program!!! Thank you Amanda!!! Cookie and I love you!!!

This is for Amanda: It is with much sadness that I have to tell you that my Buster passed away on Feb 10, 16. With that said I also want to express my utmost gratitude to you and your products. Buster was diagnosed with kidney failure in Sep 14 and was given only 2 weeks to live when I started your products. Your program gave Buster another year and 5 months to live. He would have been 18 in April. I would like to thank you for that from the bottom of my heart. This would not have been possible without you!!

Chloe is my 6 y/o black cocker spaniel that was diagnosed with leptospirosis August 2015. Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease transmissitted in the urine of carriers such as rats, possums, deer, skunk or squirrel. It sets up residence in the kidney where is proliferates and will cause kidney failure as well as possible liver failure. Chloe was lucky enough to ONLY have acute renal failure (ARF). I had noticed she had lost her appetite over a couple of days, I made a vet appointment and her lab results the following morning showed marked renal failure. I immediately took her back to the vet where we started fluid therapy. I was devastated, this was my baby girl. From Wednesday to Friday lab results continued to get worse, BUN 120, creatinine of 9.9. I had made the decision to put her down if her lab results did not improve by Monday. Low and behold they did improve slightly over the weekend. Over the next week fluids were given aggressively and her BUN came down to 40's, creatinine to 3.1 her lab values finally plateaued, I found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy through desperation and concern for Chloe's need of subcutaneous fluids the rest of her life. I work in a hospital setting and had access to a nephrophologist where I consulted on diet. I followed the regimen recommended by Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. We used syringes for the liquid and I put the dog greens in scrambled eggs. We did cleansing tonics 3 to 4 times as day as work schedule permitted. I did 3 cycles of the cleansing toncis. Since then her diet has consisted of sweet potatoes and tofu mixed with the daily recommended dog greens as well as asmall amount of canine renal dry food. We are now in March, her BUN is normal and her creatinine is 2.0. We have been doing subqutaneous fluids once a week. Mind you we were once a day for about a month, then every other day for about a month, then 2 times a week for several months, and currently once a week for 2 months. My vet is optimistic that we will be able to stop the subcutaneous fluids post surgical procedure unrelated to initial diagnosis. She is a very active and loving girl.

Bags is our "big" girl - she's our 14 pound Yorkie and will be 15 years old this summer. About a year ago, she became very sluggish, was losing her hair, drinking a lot of water and basically out of sorts. After a visit to the vet and blood work they suspected that Bags may have Addison's disease. I did some research and learned of the horrible side effects of the medication for Addison's. I had treated another dog about 8 years prior with the Canine Kidney Health program and he actually came out of kidney failure; something the vet told me was impossible. So, I knew of the amazing power of these herbs. I suggested to my husband that we skip the Addison's test for Bags and try the herbs first. Within a week on the program, her eyes were bright and her energy had returned. We continued alternating the kidney and liver until the herbs were gone. All of her symptoms cleared up so we never had her tested. She stays on a maintenance program with herbs in her meals and is bright, happy, healthy and medication free. Amanda's programs are wonderful. If you have a sick dog, please give the natural alternative a chance.

Coco is our beloved 9 year old Lab and was diagnosed with kidney failure about 1 month ago. Her BUN was 118! Her Creatinine was 5.9! We did one week of iv and Coco hated it! But, her BUN dropped to 85. So,we decided to try the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy kidney cleanse for a 3 week round of treatments. Yesterday, our vet called and said her BUN dropped to 66 and Creatinine was 4.0! So, we just ordered another 3 week round of treatments and will see our vet in 1 month. I also followed the recipes in the book and have been making Coco her food every week. Our vet wanted to know exactly what we were doing and I told him about your holistic product and our cooking at home for Coco. He was amazed that this has happened without a fluid drip! We really thought that this was the end for our Coco and were very distraught. I can't wait to see what her numbers are in a month. Stay tuned!

Thank you Thank you Thank you to Five leaf Botanicals for saving my Coco and turning it all around!

We had terrible news unexpectedly through an injury to Coco that she had stage 3 kidney disease. I came across Five leaf Botanicals after researching and researching this disease and trying to find a natural way to some how cure my super fit and healthy nearly 4 year old Doberman X Pharoah hound. It seemed unbelievable that she could be going through all this suddenly.

A few days after her accident she started vomiting and had bloody tarry diarrhea. We rushed her to the vet and the bloods showed she had internal bleeding from ulcers. Her blood platelets were at the verge of her needing blood transfusions. She had an infection, her white bloods cells were sky rocketing. Her liver and kidneys were though the roof. She was dying in front of us. After 3 weeks of IV fluids, sufralfat to stop the bleeding, opiods for pain, syringe food to get to to eat as she had lost 5kg in 3 weeks. Phosphorous binders, gastro medicine for nausea, you name it. And everything having to be carefully chosen to not affect the kidneys anymore than the previous medication had done already.

I found Five leaf 🙏, I ordered straight away because I believe in homeopathy and so does my own vet practice it too. She said it's worth the try! I started coco on a 3 week renal course package and the results have shown the blood levels have all dropped from stage 3 to stage late 1! I've just ordered another round and carrying on with the greens powder, green tripe, hydro therapy and as always before the homecookd meals and hoping for an even better result in a few weeks!

Thank you for creating this and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Canine Kidney Health! The contact person, Renee, is wonderful. She spends the time with you to answer all of your questions and concerns. The program has turned around my two older Shih tzus, Max & Nicky. Max, 14, has chronic kidney failure, while Nicky, 12, contracted lime disease at 7 years old. His kidney's started acting up - but the good news is, we started him on the kidney formula. By week 4, his BUN and creatinine came back down to normal. Max is a little more challenging since his kidney function is probably only working at 25%. However, we kept him on a maintenance dose and slowly his numbers are moving down and in the right direction. He's back to eating normal, taking long walks, and has even gained 1 1/2 lbs! His vomiting has stopped and he goes to his water bowl less frequently. I can't thank this program enough! I'm so happy and grateful to Canine Kidney Health for giving me my dogs back and having more time with them! :-)

We rescued Willow at about age 10 and within a year her kidneys started to fail. I searched the internet of information and came across this website. All the reviews were significant. I purchased the liver and kidney product, thinking the worst that would happen would be nothing...Well, at her next blood test, her kidney function was back to normal! The vet and I were happily surprised. Thank you so much!

We have two wonderful fur children. Daisy our Lab Mix and Bella our Border Collie mix. Daisy is only 5 years old and was diagnosed with Kidney Failure in April of 2016. After spending 4 days at the emergency clinic, with not much progress, we brought her home with a very poor prognosis. I wasn't about to just give up on her and that is when I found your website. It has literally been a life saver!! It has been 7 months since Daisy was diagnosed and she is doing fantastic. Her last blood test indicated her BUN was normal and her Creatinine was down to 1.9. I just want everyone who reads this to know that they shouldn't give up when they are told there isn't anything else the vet can do. Follow the program on this website and you will see improvements! Thank you all for what you do on a daily basis. Because of you and your site, many lives have been saved and made better.

Thanks again. Tami, Garry, Bella and Daisy 🙂

Hi my name is Rayanna and in December of 2015, my dog,Starr was diagnosed with kidney failure and given only a few months to live. I was not going to give up on her, so I searched the Internet and came across five leaf pet pharmacy. I was a bit skeptical at first but was willing to try anything to save my precious baby . I noticed a big difference in her after one week on the cleanse. She was bright and alert. I also took her off all commercial feed and cook for her every night and add the greens that come with the cleanse. Her numbers bega to come down and after the second cleanse her creatinine came to within the normal range. Her BUN remains high but she also eats raw meat. Another surprising result was that for years her liver values were elevated and even those are starting to decrease according to her blood work. Rene and Amanda have been wonderful and very helpful. In June of 2016 Starr again went into kidney failure, she was slower to respond to the IV this time and again she had only a few months left. Again I did the cleanse and her numbers slowly decreased. Her creatinine and phosphorus are remaining within normal range but the SDMA test is slightly elevated showing a mild worsening of her kidney disease . So we are doing another cleanse and she goes back in a few months for more blood work. She's a fighter because she was a rescue who had been tossed away in a garbage bag in minus forty below weather. She's still going strong thanks to the five leaf kidney cleanse. I would highly recommend it for anyone going through this terrible disease with your beloved family member. The proof is in the blood results . Have patience it's not a battle you will win right away. There will be good days and bad but you have to keep going for their sake. There is always hope.

Shellie is a 14 year old Shetland Sheepdog. I took her to the ER on October 27 because she refused to eat for 2 days and threw up 2 times. She was diagnosed with kidney failure. Her BUN was too high to read ( higher than 130) and Creatinine was 3.8. She was hospitalized for 3 days and they told me Shellie may die in a few weeks. I was so devastated because Shellie is my first dog and she's with me 24/7 for the past 14 years. I spent time with her more than my own children. I was so desperate and kept asking my "dog" friends for help. One of my friends told me to try the herbs that she gave to her dog two years ago who had the same disease. I started to give Shellie the herbs on November 10 and today is December 9. She just had her blood work and her BUN is down to 34 and Creatinine is down to 2.9. I am SO HAPPY!!!!! Shellie still won't eat on her own but her appetite is better than a month ago. At least she will come and ask for treats. I am cooking for her, pureed and feed her using the syringe. I will see a holistic canine nutritionist next Wednesday hoping he will help Shellie with a better diet. I sure will update our story after our next blood work. Fingers crossed!!!!

We have been using the kidney treatment for almost 5 months now.Today we got the best news ever! Our Fiona had her blood test,and it was NORMAL! Fiona was only given 2 weeks,possibly 3,back in Oct.We wanted to give her the best chance,so we started using the kidney treatment.After only 4 days,we saw her responding,and she started to eat and eventually gain weight.She still gets her fluids 2x's a week.It truly feels like a miracle.My Vet was sceptical at first,but I know,for mtsekf,I have used holistic treatments and have done well.We just found out our other dogg,Lizzy has heart issues brewing.We will be trying the Heart treatment for her soon.It is worth every penny! I know for some,the hot and cold is not an option,and that's fine.We haven't done it either.But have been successful with the herbs and tonics,and a balanced diet.Our Fiona is between 14+ and 16+ of age,since we adopted her and don't know her true age.She had Cancer,and had it removed,which we think started the kidneys to go after the anesthesia.Her future did not look good...but now,I can see her enjoying her life with all of us! Thank you Five Leaf!

My name is Heeran Workman from Omaha. Over Christmas break, my beautiful Minhae started vomitting, having diarrrhea, and started having a loss of appetite. I took her in to the vets and I was told she had chronic kidney disease. She stayed at the vets for 3 days to get fluids and then I took her home along with the conventional dry and wet kidney diet food. She wanted nothing to do with eating or drinking when we got home. I tried and tried to get her to eat, but noluck. She is a 16 year old dog that had brain injury when she was hit by a car when she was 3 years old. I was desperate and devastated because she was my original baby. She came before my other minature doxy and my 3 kids. I researched youtube as well as the internet and came across the five leaf program. I ordered it immediately. In the meantime, I took her in for bloodwork and it got worse. The vet told me it won't be too long before she goes into complete renal failure. I received the product and followed every step (with the exception of exercise) religiously. We are doing the drops 4 times a day and even coordinating between family members to come over during lunch to administer the drops. She hates it but we do hydrotherapy twice a day as well. I am happy to report that we are 2 days from our first 3 week cycle and her bloodwork looks alot better. In the beginning, I had to syringe feed her food after putting it through the blender. I syringe fed her the greens powder mixed in applesauce as well. Originally her BUN level was 102 and now it's 14 which is normal. Creatlin was 3.1 and now it's 1.3 I know that miracles don't always happen, but I do believe in science and the ability to use food/herbs as medicine. I am so thankful, so grateful, and looking forward to more quality time with my furbaby. Her appetite came back and no she doesn't love eggs or the greens, but she eats it on her own. I love it when she eats a huge bowl because only weeks ago, she kept losing weight and she wouldn't eat anything. She got so weak she log the use of your back legs and I cried. But now that she has regained her strength, you can catch her prancing around sometimes. Thank you Five Leaf, you've been a life saver-literally. Even though her numbers are normal, I am planning on doing continuous 2 more rounds before going on the maintainence. Thank you once again.

It is not often that you find a product that literally changes your life. Oliver got Lyme's disease when he was 10 wks old. It was dormant and not treated... until it started attacking his kidneys. Oliver is a King Charles Cavalier - weighs around 15 lbs and is 10.5, Cavaliers have a host of challenges including heart disease, ear infections, and kidney disease. For the past 4 years he has been on a kidney RX diet and managed quite well. Until...One year ago, Sept, 2016 he stopped eating. We tried everything from a meal of his favorite treats to babyfood... not interested. We checked him into the hospital and after many tests, he was in stage 2-3 kidney disease. A week of fluid therapy and he was back to him self. Back on the kidney diet, blood pressure under control and he was living life. Of course we were warned that this condition will deteriorate quickly and to enjoy the time we have. We were all having a great time exploring, playing, chasing birds and chimpunks... until Labor Day, 2017 when Oliver stopped eating again. We tried our usual "stand bys" and sub q fluids for a week, but it did not seem to help. His Creatine level was 4.0 and his BUN was off the charts. We checked him into the hospital and his values continued to rise to 7.8. The prognosis was grime. The hospital said there was nothing else they could do and while SOME dogs can live with this disease, most can not and at the rate the values are growing, you will need to start thinking about what's best for him. We were devastated. There must be something we can do. We found Five Leaf Pet and started the program immediately. We also found a holistic vet that believed in non traditional medicine. To be honest, we were not sure that the program would work... and had planned a "bucket list" vacation with Oliver. Prepared for the worst we took a road trip to Florida to say goodbye...

As we drove the 1800 miles Oliver slept a lot... on my lap... the whole way. He got to explore different parks in different states along the way - his energy was low, but, we were determined to give him a great adventure. We religiously followed the five leaf program - all but the food prep. We kept him in KD. We stopped in at different vets for sub q fluids along the way and day by day he seemed to be getting better...he was happy, and... running! And Barking! The bucket list vacation had a much better outcome. This was after the first 3 weeks. We returned home and our vet was surprised! He took a blood test and COULD NOT believe the results. He had dropped down to Creatine of 4... yes, still high, but half of what it was before the trip. BUN was still too high to measure, but, we were assured by five leaf that it will start coming down as the Creatine levels decrease. This was also verified by our vet.

Three weeks later and Oliver continues to improve! His values are now down to 3.5 Creatine and 75 BUN. Yes, still high, but you would not know it if you saw him. We are planning another journey to FLORIDA in a couple weeks. This time we are flying. We are thrilled to make memories with this little miracle.

Here is our regime - always tweaking but it is working: 5 leaf program - did not stop - will continue indefinitely added Hawthorne supplement ] Amolodpine for his blood pressure Add STAT or DYNE to his food for more calories - he has gained 1 LB! 250ml sub q 3 times a week Acupuncture every other week KD Kidney - 1/3 can mixed with dog greens

Please try this if your furry friend has stage 4 kidney...even if you get an extra 6 mo - isnt it worth it? We are now on month 5 from original prognosis of death...so please try it. If you have any questions - please do not hesitate to email me at rchihos@hotmail.com

Chiquita is my brother's dog of 14 years. She developed a breathing problem as well as an enlarged heart. She was given heavy duty medication that mad her looked high most of the time. In March of 2017 she fell over and couldn't get up. She was taken to the vet and he didn't know what had happened. The readings showed kidney failure and that she would not survive the night. That was on a Tuesday. I had ordered Five Leaf Botanicals and it arrived 2 days later. I gave it to her that evening and there after 4 x's a day. By Sunday evening she was doing great. She was ravenous and ate all her food. She was on it the first month. The readings, bun, etc had been off the charts. When we took her to the vet again everything was within normal. She has lived an additional 9 months, but now her breathing has become labored. She is filling up with fluid and they have taken it out but begins to return. We are thankful for those few months and thank your botanicals on saving her. She was our miracle angel. May she wait for us on the other side.

Our little Daisy was 13 years old and diagnosed with end stage renal failure from a UTI, If I could have changed anything it would have been to start these products sooner. Because of these products we got to enjoy our Daisy for three weeks past her life expectancy. After week one dosage she was eating on her own, playing, barking and begging, we thought we could save her but towards the end of week 3 the toxins were so bad in her kidneys that she had 8 seizures and we had to let her go, she was a vegetable but wasnt suffering anymore. She has been fighting since August 2017 until last night 11/13/17 and like I said, I wish I would have found these products sooner, months sooner and maybe she would have still been here. We saw AMAZING progress after the 2 weeks of the greens and drops, please take my advice, don't hesitate and get your pet on this program. I couldn't save my baby but maybe you can.

Sparky is a Maltese and is 9 years old. Last 7/16/17, we went for his routine annual check and the doctor suggested a dental cleaning for teeth and gums. She ordered blood work to check kidneys and liver. Results came back with CREA 4.1 BUN 47. Dental work cannot be possible. Doctor said he has CKD and with numbers like what he had, he has a few months left. I was devastated! Sparky seem to look fine with me although there were times he wouldn’t eat a day or two. He was also drinking more water and going to the bathroom more often. I also noticed that he was losing some weight and would throw up late in the evening during bedtime. The doctor prescribed Enalapril to take for life and switched him to Renal diet. She also gave him Mirtazapine for nausea and appetite booster. I came across Five Leaf website while I was doing some research about CKD and on other ways that can be done. I was still hopeful somehow there would be one. I read a lot of wonderful reviews of happy pet owners with sick pets like Sparky. I also thought being it herbal/natural, there’s no way it’s going to hurt or damage more. So, I ordered the set and dog greens and started him on it. A month and a half later (8/31/17), I requested a renal panel and the results were as follows: CREA 3.5 BUN 44. It showed some improvement. It isn’t back to normal yet, but it isn’t getting worse either. He is currently at his 4th 3 weeks cycle. He has been eating better and he hasn’t been throwing up like before. He has more energy and I can see the old happy Sparky that he used to be which means he’s feeling much better. Looking forward to getting the next bloodwork done with numbers that wouldn’t have red marks that meant “high”. For pet owners who has pets with CKD, I would highly recommend to please try it out. I can honestly say… it definitely works! And when our pets are happy, we are happy. Thank you, Five Leaf Pet Botanicals!!!

Our 14 year old Scottie, Sorcha became ill in July 2017 just weeks after the loss of our other Scottie Duff. She wasn't her normal happy, playful, and full of energy self so we knew something was definitely wrong! At first we thought she was just heartbroken after losing Duff but it became apparent it was more serious. We immediately took her to the vet and they diagnosed her with kidney failure. Her Crea was 2.3, Bun was 111, and Phos was 10.4. We were devastated with the thought of losing our second Scottie so soon. The vet recommended IV Fluid therapy for 3 days in the clinic which we did. That night I began researching anything I could find about canine kidney health and that is when I found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. The testimonials were so compelling and we wanted to try everything we could to save our precious girl. I called and spoke with Renee and ordered the kit overnight. After Sorcha returned from her 3 days of IV Fluid therapy she was still very sick but we immediately began giving her the treatment along with subcutaneous fluids for 5 days. We also began filtering her water and preparing her meals on day 1 as recommended by Renee to give her the best possible chance of recovery. We were diligent about the treatments giving them to her 4 times a day along with the doggie greens. Slowly we began to see improvement and after 4 days we began to have hope seeing signs of that bubbly little girl. We took Sorcha in for a blood test after 1 week and all her numbers we back in range (Crea 1.8, Bun 48, and Phos 5.2) with the exception of the Bun which was still a little high at 48 but it had come down from 111. The Vet was amazed and very happy to see her improving. We continued the treatments religiously along with filtered water and homemade food. By week 2 she was looking great and back to her normal behavior. On week 3 we took her back to the Vet to check her numbers again and she remained in range and some of her other numbers had also improved across the board. The Vet was so thrilled and was interested in hearing all about the program. Sorcha is doing extremely well and is back to playing, her daily walks, and of course playing hide and seek. We decided to go ahead and do one more 3 week cycle since it came in the kit just to be safe but we are confident that she will continue to be healthy. We can't thank Five Leaf enough for saving our sweet Sorcha's life and for being such a great support through this process! She means the world to us and we are so thankful she is back to being healthy and happy! Thank you again for sharing your amazing products and knowledge with all of us!

My 16 year old beloved male Bichon Frise was diagnosed with kidney disease several months ago. The vet said the kidneys cannot be rehabilitated and we can only try to slow the progression of the disease. I was so desperate and found this website in my research and read the reviews and ordered the program. My pup improved immediately!. He has quit drinking water constantly and drinks normally now. He diaper at night is much drier than it used to be. He's going blind from cataracts so he wears a belly band at night to save my floor..He seems much happier, and calmer not nearly as anxious and restless. He's put on weight! I'm over the moon thrilled with this program. I have not had his bloodwork done and I don't know if I will as he hates the process and I can see the results with my own two eyes. His appetite is so good in fact and he loves the clean healthy organic diet so much I may have to cut back so he doesn't get too fat.. a problem I'm so happy to have! Order this program, follow it to the letter if you can.. the two exceptions I made was the hydrotherapy I used freezer chill packs and hot water compressess instead of a shower hose because my dog doesn't like showers and water.. He laid there and let me do the hot/cold on his lower back so peacefully and patiently, even when I put the cold chill packs on him. I think he knew I was helping him and he appreciated it. the other thing is a didn't feed raw meat but did cooked organic beef, chicken and turkey with organic sweet potatoes, organic vegetable greens and organic brown rice, all cooked in slow cooker. I put about 1/2 cup of organic chicken broth low sodium diluted so he got lots of liquid at each meal. I drizzled the doggie greens mixed with the tinctures over it. He loved it! A true godsend this program is. Try it you won't be disappointed and don't listen to the vets who tell you there is nothing you can do.. They are so wrong. This program works!

Hi I am a sceptic. I now believe. Sasha our German Shepherd Dog contracted Leptospirosis the results of this where devasting her kidneys went into acute kidney failure. We where told her prognosis was death if we took her off the two bags of fluid she was getting everyday. Her Creatinine was 12 with home care and fluids it came down to 9.5. We started the kidney Five leaf program after three weeks it went to 6.9. We are starting another 3 week treatment now. I just wanted to say this treatment is saving her life. She is playing eating and most important the dr has dropped her from two bags of fluid to one.We are following this program to a tee. The diet and the hydro therapy. Thank you five leaf pharmacy Keith&Kathleen

I am writing this story on the 1 yr anniversary of my lab Dakota being diagnosed with a complication to Lyme's disease Renal Failure. He was 5 yrs old then and so sick we were told we should put him down. Devastated, our family chose to wait a day as we could not believe what was happening. So I started researching. I found the site for 5 leaf Botanicals and found a glimpse of hope in some of the stories I read here. It was the weekend so getting the product here wasn't fast enough for me. I immediately started some of the diet tips on the site. Distilled water etc. Dakota spent the next days getting worse he lost 17 lbs so fast with all the vomiting and no eating. I had to take a stand for him as he had given up. I started the Renal protocol as soon as it arrived. Dakota was not going to make this easy. I couldn't get the stuff in him or food. Renee was on the phone with me everyday giving tips etc. He would not let us syringe him meds or food my hope was dwindling as he lay so lifeless. I told my vet what are plan was for care and he said " I have never seen a dog make it through this but will support you with whatever you need." So we did a nausea shot and monitoring his hydration. He helped us understand what some of the steps we were to take. I figure out that the only way to get anything into him was to put it down his throat like a pill so we went with it. I bought empty pill capsules and filled them with the botanicals. I also bought ginger in caps too. Going by the letter of the law in the booklet they gave me I started cooking. He still wouldn't eat a thing voluntarily . So I started making rice, raw hamburger and sweet potato meat balls. I would stuff them down like a pill and they stayed down. We were on our way. As he got stronger and started eating some I would monitor how much he ate. If I felt it wasn't enough down the meat balls went again. Hydrotherapy made a huge difference and he started to look a little brighter. Let me tell you this whole process was a full time job and not for the faint at heart. It was a lot of work but anything for my puppy. Lab test were so bad to start that when he started to look a little better I wanted to do them again so bad to see. My vet was in amazement with his progress and he couldn't wait either so at 3 weeks we did them again the labs had improved a lot but not perfect. So we did another 3 weeks of the protocol then repeated the labs again, they were almost perfect. We used that little bible that comes with the protocol and a lot of prayer. I figure if we were going to make this work we would do all it says. I am here to tell you that the support from Renee at 5 leaf was amazing. I must have had the toughest case ever and she gave me every hint they knew, I am positive that I have added a lot to list with my experience with Dakota. I am here to say that he is now perfect in every way. We have introduced some other foods and treats but stay with raw meats, veggies and white rice as our staple diet. He learned to like the dog green's eventually and we stay with filtered water, Just not taking a chance of him going through that again. Thank you again for your support and help saving the life of A.K.A. our Miracle Puppy. Sincerely The Bilodeau's Epping,NH

About a month or so ago, I took my 12 yr old dog in for a dental exam. She had been walking away from her food mid meal, which was very unlike her, as she was a "walking stomach" for the entirety of her life. She had been drinking more than usual, and though I didn't realize it was relevant at the time, had been dragging her back leg, along with getting up 3-4 times per night to try to go to the bathroom. I was surprised to get a call from my vet saying there was an issue with her bloodwork, and she wanted to talk to me, as they didn't think that putting her under anesthesia was appropriate. When I went in, I was told she was in kidney failure, and had approximately 25% of her kidney function left. BUN was in the high 70's , which wasn't end of the line, but wasn't good. Other levels were elevated out of normal as well. My husband and I could not have children, and when he brought her home, saved by a friend from being a "bait dog", I never knew how much you could love an animal. Needless to say, I was devastated. But, being a health care provider myself, I have learned that no diagnosis is the same for every patient, and there is always something you can do. I researched non pharmaceutical approaches to kidney health. The vet offered a pricey canned food, but my doggie wouldn't take it. Plus, I felt that we had been giving her too many medications lately, and that could well be why her kidneys were giving out. I found your website, read the reviews and knew I had nothing to lose. Within a week, her cowpie diarrhea was normalizing, her appetite improved, and we fed her only home prepared foods, which I'm sure helped. She had stopped begging for treats, and that went back to normal as well. She began sleeping through the night without needing to go out numerous times to TRY to peek and poop, and her back leg stopped dragging. Her energy improved, and my dad started upping her walk mileage, which had decreased from 4-5 miles per day to 2 or less. They are back up to 4 miles, and she seems to be doing better then she has in a long time. she just had bloodwork, and her BUN levels were down to the mid to high 40's from the high 70's. Stool is normal, appetite is great. I am going to do one more cycle to try to get her numbers down to normal. Even if she only lives another year or two, her quality of life is so much improved. I'm so glad I found your product.

My Bearded Collie Samantha was diagnosed with kidney disease about a year ago now. She had started to urinate in her sleep and was drinking way too much water, this is why we brought her to the vet. This was very unlike her. In the 14 years we had her she had only gone in the house a few times and that was because she was sick. I do not remember the exact blood test results I apologize. What I do remember is the Vet telling us that she would only live 6 months, maybe a year. I was devastated. They put her on a prescription dog food. I immediately started looking for other ways to help her and that is when I came across this web site. I deploy a lot for work and the wife has back problems so we are not able to get her in the tub for the hot/cold therapy. As soon as I got this system I took her off the so called "special kidney" diet food. This food is terrible for any animal with kidney disease because it is loaded with chemicals! I started making all of her food fresh. We use a similar diet to the one in the book, but I alternate the vegetables between sweet potatoes and carrots to make it more interesting for her. I also do not give her the tinctures directly, I mix them in with her food, along with the dog greens. She loves this food and even licks her bowl clean, something she has never done! I cannot say enough great things about this system. After three months we brought her back to the vet for a check up. Her kidneys had not gotten better, but they were exactly the same! We told the vet what we were doing and he told us we needed to give her the prescription diet food. I think he was a little put out that I knew more about her kidney disease and how to treat it properly than he did. It has been almost a year now and she will be fifteen soon. Not only have her numbers still not changed at all, she has gained a few lbs and her hearing and eyesight has improved! She has more energy than ever before. We just had her teeth cleaned and the vet was amazed that she was doing so well (this was a different doctor then the last one). He said whatever you are doing keep doing it, she looks very good for her age. Just so everyone knows, I would never right a review unless something was simply amazing and this truly is. Actually it saved my dogs life and made her a much healthier happier dog. I have continued the dog greens and will never stop them. Some people think that making all this food will be a hassle and expensive. I will tell you it is cheaper than the prescription dog food. It takes me about a day to make 6 months of food for her ahead of time and freeze it so the wife doesn't have to worry about making it while I am gone. I portion it into ziplock bags and this works perfectly!. This program is amazing! Please give this a chance, your pet will love you for it I promise! Oh and if you ever email this site, they get back to you very fast and have great advice. Best money I ever spent on my spoiled little brat! Finally someone online that has a product that not only works, it works so well that it helped her entire body to heal! I can not
recommend this product or say thank you enough!

We adopted Lucy from Baldwin Park 8/30/14, they really had no idea how old she was? But we all knew she had a rough life. Our Vet guesses Lucy was 9, so that puts her about 12 now. She’s a Chihuahua /Wiener dog mix, a Chi-Weenie and we love her dearly. About a year after we had her she went into a seizure and collapsed, we thought she was dying, come to find out she has heart and kidney failure, without her heart meds she can’t get enough oxygen starts coughing incessantly. So we started her on her monthly meds for life, roughly about $70 a month which my hubby and I are good with and willing to pay. Unfortunately her heart medicine destroys her kidneys and her kidney medicine destroys her heart, go figure! In October of last year, 2016, I bought the Botanicals and I am not gonna lie I kind of dropped the ball and didn’t start her right away, and had them put away. Last January 2017 Lucy was doing really bad, her BUN #’s were off the charts, I think it was 169 and we thought we had to take her in to the Vet and put her down =*( They put her on IV fluids and that seemed to help her. It was an ugly and costly week for us. I remembered about the botanicals I had purchased from Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy and we started her on them, it was really hard to give her, we tried to hide it in treats? Nope, dog food? Nope, and then we bought a couple syringes and Vanilla Yogurt (Thank you for whomever figured that out on here) it saved our butts, so we mix it with her heart meds crushed and he botanicals and she gets it daily. She seriously is a new dog; she has her slow day’s sure, sleeps a lot but then she gets all excited and acts like Lucy for a few days, and then sleeps a lot. Regardless I want more time with my Lucy and Canine Kidney Health Package A has given me that! I am so thankful and appreciate it and her every day. XXOO Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy

I used 5 leaf pharmacy products about 3 years ago. I used a cleanse program for all 6 pets (including a foster dog) I had at the time.Even though the products are made for dogs, I was able to get my cats to take the tinctures in their food. Since they all get homemade food and are used to supplements, I had no problems with them taking them. One of my cats, Schmutz, who is pictured, was having some health issues. I really think that the products were helpful for him and for everyone. I am about to order a cleanse program again. Schmutz is now 18 and is beginning to show some signs of the beginning of kidney issues. I am hoping Five Leaf products will give him another 3 years and then some. I really like and trust this product.

My dog Candy was diagnosed with beginning stage of kidney failure in March 2017. However her numbers began to creep out of normal range in December 2016. It was found during blood work before dental procedure. Since I was given no hope of reversing this disease, only perhaps slowing it down, the outlook for my only 6 year old shi zu did not look good. 2 months to 2 years was not long enough. I was devastated. I looked on line trying to better educate myself on kidney disease. Then I found this site and there is were I found hope. I read everything on this site and it all made sense. I bought the kidney kit right away and followed everything exactly. I made her food, did the hot and cold therapy, everything I followed exactly and I am glad I did. Only 5 weeks after beginning this program I had Candy's blood work rechecked this past weekend and her blood work came back in the NORMAL range. On the lower side of normal to boot. Plus her allergies are gone. Renee answered all my questions within hours of all my emails ( and I asked allot of questions). This program works and I am so great full for this. Thank you so much for what you have done for Candy. If it weren't for Five Leaf I would be watching and waiting as her levels kept creeping up. Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that we put Boo on Five Leaf for her high creatinine levels. We followed the three week plan of drops and greens along with feeding green tripe and her regular raw diet. We ditched the packaged treats and kibble from her diet.

By the end of the first week, Boo was perking up after being lethargic for three weeks. By the end of the second week, Boo was clearly back to her old self of drinking water, eating with vigor and playing "crazy dog" (running figure eights in the back yard) like a puppy! She started engaging with us, stopped isolating herself and sleeping all day and also regained her energy and spark.

We haven't had her blood tested yet, but clearly, she has improved. I will definitely let you know what her results are after her next blood test. From what I can tell, it seems to be working. The proof is in the test. So far, so good. I'm impressed and if her blood tests come back with good results I'll be pushing Five Leaf with the vet. His first recommendation was to put her on that crappy Science Diet which I refused. Five Leaf offered a better solution.

Our 12 year old Golden Retriever, Hunter, was diagnosed with kidney faillure in May 2017. He had congestive heart failure for three years pryor to the kidney failure. Hunter was coughing and gaging. When I found out about it I started him on heart herbs and he no longer coughs or gags. Hunter had lost his appetite and would not eat the kidney diet food from the vet's office. It was also a real challenge to get pills down him, because he did not want any meat. He was not supposed to have any protein anyway. I began spooning his pills down him with unsweetened applesauce. I reserched the internet to find help for his kidneys, and found the Five Leaf Biotanicals site. I started giving him your plan in May 2017, and at his check up in July 2017, his kidney's were worse. I made up my own recipe using egg whites (because they are VERY digestible) sprout bread, and coconut milk. He will now eat the kidney diet food, which I give him 1 cup a day with unsweetened apple sauce on the side. He also had the pancake with the egg whites that I make for him twice a day. I continued with the Five Leaf Biotanical formula because it was keeping him alive. He had a vet appointment in January of 2018. They tested his urine and the vet reported, NO KIDNEY FAILURE!!! In April 2018, he was examined again and the vet said I don't hear anything wrong with is heart!! Hunter was 124 lbs. last May and is now 97 pounds. He is not sick, but has reached a healthy weight with his diet and diuretic pills. Our vet said that all of his levels from his urine and blood tests are PERFECT. I have a new dog! He no longer runs for the water dish or urinates excessively. I kept him on the rena/potassium pills from the vet. and the fluid tabs. This program is AMAZING!! If anyone wants my program that I gave to Hunter, my email is Marcie Jcksn@yahoo.com

i have a little 3 lb chihuahua named star, she is 5 yrs old. In the middle of June 2018 she stopped eating and drinking and became lethargic, ( i could only get 1/2 a tsp of food into her every other day) i took her to my vet who said i needed to try different foods, watch her and if she did not improve they would do blood work. she was down from 3 lbs. to 2.7 lbs which is a lot of weight loss for a small dog. The next week when she was still not eating they said i needed to get a urine sample. She is so tiny i had a hard time getting the urine. it took me 3 days lol. every time i tried to put the small container under her she would look at me and stop peeing. when i finally got the sample and took it in the vet, they said it was very dilute and they did blood work. it came back with Bun and creatinine off the chart. the vet told me star had a very poor chance of recovery, that she had end stage kidney disease. They gave her sub Q fluids and sent her home with science diet kidney food. she would not eat it. All she would eat was a little watermelon. The next day i brought her back for more sub Q fluids. they said i would probably have to put her down if she did not start eating and drinking and they gave me some pills to make her eat, I prayed and we gave her communion, she ate a small piece of the bread lol and i put a tiny bit of grape juice on her tongue. i was beside myself, she was my official emotional support dog, i have very bad anxiety and depression and she helps me to be calm and happy. I was not ready to give up, so i went on the computer and looked up kidney disease in dogs, especially chihuahuas. i found Five Leaf pet botanicals, i read everything i could find and called them. i spoke to Renae crying and almost hysterical. She was an angel. She calmed me down and said they had very good results with their products and not to give up. she told me what to feed star in the mean time, i had the kidney regime rush shipped and got it in 2 days. i started them at once and made a mixture of organic baby food, the greens, the omega oils and organic beef and rice. i had to spoon it into her mouth but she took it. i gave her the renal and blood cleanse mixed with apple sauce. She was supposed to be 3 lbs so i gave her 3 drops of each, such a tiny dose but it was enough. Within 2 days she was eating the food mixture with only a little encouragement, though i have to admit she hated the drops LoL. i tried mixing them with other things and finally settled on the organic sweet potatoes. After i gave her the drops she would get up and run around, then she would eat!!! It was a total of 1/4 a cup but it was something!! I was amazed! By the end of the first week she was feeling much better, she would get up and RUN outside to do her business and Run back in! before i had to carry her out when she was not feeling well and she used her wee wee pad most of the time. The second week the vet did repeat blood work and it came back much better but still high Bun and creatine. After the 3rd week on the renal cleanse i started her on the Hepa cleanse, when she went back in for her blood work a week later, it came back normal!!! My vet was very surprised, she had told me kidney disease was not reversible and she would have to be put down. she asked me if i was giving her the science died renal food she had ordered and i told her NO, i am giving her home made organic baby food and the Five leaf botanicals, I showed her the products and she wrote the info down. She said star is now normal and i don’t have to get blood work for 3 months!! I am so glad i found Five leaf pet Botanicals. You saved my lil star and gave me my hope back. Star is now lively, frisky and barking at the neighborhood dogs and any men that come into the house lol. I am going to put her on the maintenance meds now and plan to have her for many years to come. Thank you so much Renae for all your help and for your wonderful products, i agree with one of the previous people who said you need to make human products, but the big drug companies would probably make a big fuss because they will loose money on medications lol, also i wish you had a cat formulae, my daughter has a 17 yr old siamese cat with heart and kidney issues from old age and we have a 16 yr old cat with severe food allergies. He itches so bad he lives with a cone on his head to prevent him from scratching all his fur off. Both are rescue animals. Any info would be greatly appreciated! You are life savers!!!!! literally

My 14 year old Westie, Raggy, had tooth decay and abscess causing sinus infection and generalized malaise. He just wanted to sleep. Lab work showed elevated wbc, bun and creat. Vet prescribed azotyl and
Pedigree kidney kibble. By joining a holistic pets group I found a referral to Five Leaf Botonicals.The website was so instructive that I was able to start the program before the herbals arrived. I followed the recipes for raw food diet, did hot/cold therapy, and out for walks. The swelling on Raggy’s face started to go down. We did series one of the 3 week program, I managed to give the extracts 4 x a day. A month later his lab has become normal, the vet surprised Raggy did so well in so short of a time. Vet said that this not mean that he recovered kidney function, only the he is processing more effectively, but that any infection, toxin, chemical additives, pesticides etc could cause kidney failure. Renee at Five Leaf Pets referred me to their product Pet Protection for maintainence after recovery. I will continue that, diet, and exercise. Today Raggy seems happy and active. Just to be sure I will do liver and kidney cleanse twice a year. Thank you herbalists at 5 Leaf.

My 12 year old pup named Capri has greatly benefited from this program! She was diagnosed with Kidney Failure right before Thanksgiving and the vet was unable to do more then administering IV fluids, which were ineffective. He stated that if she did not get better in those few days that she was unlikely to get better. Capri was extremely lethargic, would not eat, was nauseous often, and lost a lot of weight. She was dropping weight quickly and her kidney values were very high. The doctor was unable to provide many answers but stated that he normally sees a progression, however, Capri went into kidney failure very quickly. I had this idea of researching holistic approaches to treating kidney failure in dogs. I quickly came across this website. After looking at the program and all the reviews I felt this would be worth a try! It was very cost effective too! Capri was not able to do the diet well due to her inability to eat. However, she did do the cleanses, the greens and the hydrotherapy. We saw a lot of ups and downs and days where I thought we would have to put her down. She would shake uncontrollably and could barely walk. I had to get her a dog stroller to take her outside to get her some fresh air! I Felt so bad because I knew she was suffering, however, I really wanted to give this program a try for a month! I had to convince my parents to keep her alive just another week because I had this feeling that this program was going to work for her! Well, I am writing this review to let everyone know that she is back to her perky self!! The program literally saved her!! She is running around, has so much energy, wants to eat more then 3xs a day is extremely alert, and is loving life right now! Her Kidney values are almost back to normal. She did develop Anemia during the process, however, we are tackling that issue right away as well thanks to the representative on this site that recommended an amazing treatment to try. This dog went from dying to getting her life back! I was actually super shocked that this program worked as fast as it did. My parents told me that I needed to be "realistic" about her condition and I am glad I kept the faith! I am also very impressed by the education I got from the chat service. I had a lot of questions and they were great at educating me and helping me with the steps to the program. Incredible customer service!! Thank you so much for helping Capri. I know she is grateful to be alive and active! She is currently not suffering like she was! She has more work to do and is continuing to get healthy, but I am blessed to have come across this site! She is back to her normal self!! Thank you!!

In October 2018 we had routine old-dog blood tests done on our 13 year old border collie/husky mix. Because she wasn’t showing any symptoms of an illness, we were shocked when our vet said she had Stage 3 kidney failure! Her BUN was 33 & Creatinine was 1.8 & we were told there wasn’t much that could be done for her. Luckily I found this website & started her on the regime. After the treatment, her BUN dropped to 15.4 & Creatine was 1.7! She’s been doing a 2 week regime every 6 months. After a year & 3 rounds of the regime, her BUN is 26 & Creatine is 1.8. Our vet also added Calcitrol twice a week. She’s 14 now & goin strong! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

My 14 year old mini schnauzer started looking bad and getting week and then one day didn’t want to eat the vomited. I rushed her to the vet and asked for a kidney evaluation because of this and her excessive water drinking. She also started have leakage while sleeping. Which she did a lot! He said her urine was dilute and then found the test to be conclusive for beginning stages of kidney disease. He recommended wet prescription food to start. I took it but came straight home to research holistic medicine for her. I found you not trying to sell me everything under the sun but giving me solid information to help my sweet girl. Started both my old and young dogs on the diet and sent off for the kidney cleanse for Gigi. She has no more symptoms and tons of energy. Shoots around like a rocket in the morning wrestling my 2 yr old dog who out weighs he by 2x. The 2 yr old has leaned out more and has a glssey coat to boot! They both think that they have died and gone to heaven when they eat I AM HAVING GIGIS KIDNEYS TESTED IN A WEEK. WILL UPDATE YOU THEN. I have also messaged others on a website that was “Advertising on. Facebook and told them to look you up.
Thanks so,so much!

In June 2019 our 13 yo dachshund, Abbie, was diagnosed with kidney failure just weeks after we lost our 11 yo Westie, Wally, to the same disease. Of course, we were devastated. I had searched on-line for for something to help Wally in addition to the care he was receiving from our vet. Unfortunately, Five Leaf didn’t come up in my search at that time. I must’ve used different keywords when I searched for Abbie because, thankfully, Five Leaf came up for her. I called with some questions before I ordered and was amazed how much time Renee spent with me and how reassuring she was. I ordered on the spot and started the hydrotherapy even before everything else arrived. Abbie started to perk up a little with the hydrotherapy alone. She still wouldn’t eat, but within a week of starting the drops and the greens (I mixed them with applesauce and used an oral syringe to give them to her) she started eating human baby food. I gave her plain strained beef. After 2 weeks on Five Leaf she was voraciously eating the homemade raw organic food. She has now completed 3 full cycles on Five Leaf and she’s doing better than she had in the last year. She’s back to her feisty little self plus she’s taking walks again! Her fur is silky and glossy and her eyes, which had started to get cloudy, are clear as can be. We couldn’t be more thrilled! Yesterday we had her blood work repeated and her numbers are almost back to normal. In June her ALP was 155, yesterday 103 (normal). BUN was 85, yesterday 53, and CREA was 2.7, yesterday 1.9! Amazing!! We intend to keep her
on the full program and hope to get all her numbers back into the normal range so we can just do the twice yearly maintenance. We can’t say enough good things about Five Leaf’s products and Renee and Amanda! These wonderful women are always there to answer any and all questions, are always encouraging, and never give you the bum’s rush. People always post on Facebook asking for thoughts and prayers when their pets are sick. Five Leaf Pet Botanicals is the answer to those prayers!

Ruby was diagnosed on 3/22/19 with kidney(renal neoplasia). Vet recommended Hills k/d diet.Ruby was also diagnosed with a tumor on her spleen with a following ultrasound. Vet recommended we make her comfortable as possible as she was 14 years old at the time and basically watch her slowly decline and die. We refused to accept this and researched and found FIVE LEAF PET! We started her in the program through 3 cycles and had her blood tests re-evaluated and her kidney values had moved towards the right direction! We continued for another 3 cycles and had her bloodwork and ultrasound done again and her kidney values had dropped significantly and her tumor had grown only VERY SLIGHTLY. Overall the VET was seemingly surprised at Rubys’ overall health and vitality and spunkiness considering only a few months ago she(vet) sent us home to watch her die! We are forever grateful to FIVE LEAF PET and their program and continued on-line support and personal e-mail responses in assisting us in the quest to help OUR BABY girl to live out her remaining time in a healthy and happy manner!

In June of this year (2019) I took my 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Molly, to the veterinarian intending to have her teeth cleaned. Molly was rescued a couple years ago and it was apparent that she hadn't previously received adequate dental care. When the pre-anesthesia bloodwork results came in, the vet informed me that Molly had kidney disease and it was advised that she not undergo the procedure due to her ill health. The veterinarian did not have any recommendations since, in her opinion, reversing kidney disease was not possible. I was not willing to accept the idea that nothing could be done, so I proceeded to research options and discovered the Canine Kidney Health website. Preferring to use natural nutritional supplements and herbal remedies for my own minor maladies, I was excited to learn that Five Leaf Pet Botanicals offered herbal tinctures to address kidney disease. I started Molly on the recommended 3 week protocol and I changed her diet. After nine weeks I returned to have her blood checked and found that both her Creatinine and BUN levels had shown some gradual improvement. I was encouraged by the change and understood that I had to be patient since herbs are usually a gentler approach to addressing health issues (with fewer side-effects) and typically take longer than pharmaceuticals to show results. I kept her on the protocol, dosing her 4 times a day as recommended for another 9 weeks. I had Molly's blood tested mid-October and her Creatinine was within the normal range. The veterinarian was flabbergasted by the results and asked what we had been doing to bring about this change. I explained about the diet change and the herbal tinctures and passed along information about the website so other patients could try this approach when faced with a diagnosis of kidney disease in their canine companion.

I will put Molly on the maintenance program in the hope of keeping her healthy for a long time to come. I want to express my sincere appreciation to Amanda for her willingness to answer my questions and provide support to those of us dealing with a serious health challenge of our beloved canine companions.

This my DOG-Aughter (Dog daughter) she is currently 13 years old soon to be 14. We have been battling kidney disease actively now for almost 2 years with diet, sub cu fluids. In August I took her to a hospital to try to get her IV fluids to get her levels down to normal which at the time were 68 BUN and 3.7 creatnine unbeknownst to me they would overload her with fluids overnight and almost killed her then returned her to me half dead & vet says we did all we could you should think of euthanasia and I’m like for what??? What did you do to her!??? when the day before she ok just with elevated levels. The trauma caused her to lose her vision for a week! Had her checked at a better hospital her BUN was 136 & creatine 4.7. I could not accept this so I searched for an alternative and found your site I got the kidney cleanse overnighted and started immediately. I read you whole website and every review applied everything including hydrotherapy which BONUS her vision slowly came back as well!! Nothing short of a MIRACLE! She wouldn’t eat & couldn’t stand but I just kept getting the herbs & fluid in her and force feeding babyfood. Fast forward to now Nov 14 and 2 cleanse cycles later. She is on Pet Protect & Hawthorne. Her levels are still a tiny bit elevated but manageable. She is eating twice a day , still not drinking water but its hydrated and healthy! Her levels today were BUN 54 and 2.7 creatnine!!! I don’t write reviews but this one was deserved! For anyone having second thoughts about trying the herbs! Do it! If you baby is suffering what do you have to lose except your baby???? Thank you for this product it saved her life twice! 🙂

I hope you are well! It’s been a year since we lost our beautiful 4 year old beagle/dachshund mix. She was the bright spot in our hearts for 3 years while we had her (we adopted her at about a year old). I felt that it was important to share whatever learnings we had from our experience even though, we only managed to extend her life 4 short months after she was hospitalized for acute kidney failure. It was, at least, four good quality months when little to no pharma treatment options were available to us and the support from people like you two and your other clients (especially Ernie) at the Five Leaf Pharmacy encouraged us to press on and hold onto hope. So, despite our loss, we were able to gain knowledge to help our little girl have an easy transition. I am not saying there weren’t difficult days during those four months when she refused to eat or she’d swell in her ankles because her albumin was low, but until the last week of her life, there were more good days than bad and at least our family felt we did all that we could to help her have the best quality of life – even if the quantity was short.

On an up note, we have two furbabies we’ve adopted since Lily. One is named Pippa and she is a year old and the other is Pepper and he is 2 months old. Pippa had the chance to meet Lily the last week of her life and the bond was beautiful. We weren’t expecting to adopt Pippa but let’s just say, an angel intervened. Pippa has been on doggie greens since day one. Pepper is slowly being introduced to them (we’ve only had him a week now 😊)

Anyway, here is a little more about Lily and her medical diagnosis if anyone else has a similar diagnosis/prognosis. Let me know how to post this or if you’d like to do so on my behalf if you think it’s useful.

Lily’s Journey:

First of all, for anyone trying to navigate the frustrations of this disease, my heart goes out to you. I will say that I believe in this product and even though our Lily passed away 4 months after her diagnosis, I am convinced the herbs and greens helped her regardless.

I found out about Five Leaf searching for kidney health when my beloved Sheltie moved to advance chronic kidney failure when she was 11 back in 2011. Just changing her diet alone and starting her on the greens, got her back to great health and she lived a full happy life for three more years after that. Sadly, my Lily’s timeline was a lot shorter but still filled with a lot of good moments in those months.

In mid-August 2018, our Lily went into acute kidney failure. For a couple of weeks before that time, she started showing some disinterest in food (rare for a beagle) but when I took her to the vet to check on her vitals, etc., all was showing as normal. Our vet decided to run blood work and it was when the results came back that we were told to rush her to the hospital because she was in kidney failure. We were devastated to find out she was in chronic kidney failure with a BUN that had not even finished processing and a creatinine of 5.6. She was diagnosed with PLN (Protein Losing Nephropathy) with Proteinuria (high levels of protein in urine) and we don’t know the cause. They speculated one of three causes: 1.) Glomerulosclerosis – scarring of the glomerulus (the portion of the kidney responsible for filtration) that allow proteins to leak. 2.) Immune-medicated glomerulonephritis – damage to the glomerulus due to autoimmune disease or another disease such as a tick borne disease not identified or 3.) non-immune-medicated glomerulonephritis - damage due to amyloidosis (beagles are predisposed) or bacterial infection. The internal medicine vet at Penn said we’d have to do a biopsy to determine the cause which she’d not likely survive. She also gave Lily about 2 weeks to live. They did rule out Leptospirosis and Addison’s and although she tested for no active antibodies for Lymes, they thought maybe it could be resulting from a tick-born disease or toxicity from Carprofen/Rovera (NSAID she was prescribed the month prior for Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD)). We had her on that very very briefly for an acute flair up in her hip joint. In short, there was no way of knowing what caused it and therefore, no real way the vets could ‘treat’ it.

My fiancé and I were devastated. We always took such care and fed her only organic, home cooked foods and were always cautious about various topical treatments that had chemicals etc. When we got her back from Intensive Care, on Aug 17th, we started her right away the herbal program for Kidney Care from 5 Leaf. From there, I researched and worked with a holistic vet to get her on a number of supplements and herbs.

I have decided to share my spreadsheet that has recorded every cycle with Five Leaf tonics (including the heart tonics which we needed because she developed a heart murmur) and it also includes the inventory of herbs I tried with the descriptions and quantities, etc. It also includes sample recipes and calories counting sheet as well as all of her lab values so people can see where her lab values were and her weight.

I will say, that had I not been able to take time off from work to get on a schedule/program nor had my husband for support in this (emotional as well as physical), I wouldn’t have been able to dedicate this much time to her healing. So, find a partner or friend to help you care for your furbaby and if they do, consider yourself blessed.

I hope this helps. It’s a lot of information so if people have questions, they are welcome to contact me. Just know that this information is from a year ago and I cannot say for certain that what I did was the right thing in the end for her and I certainly cannot say what’s right for someone else’s baby. I can offer my prayers, hope, and love.

Best of luck and prayers are with anyone reading this.

Our story. Our beloved dog name Gina was diagnosed with kidney failure on 02/13/2019. Doctors say take the dog home for the weekend and then we will discuss the NEXT STEP !!! We didn't give up. I did some research on the internet and found the Canine Kidney Health program. After a very tough first few weeks (feeding with the syringe and hand-feeding and of course 4 times a day the and I say "miracle" drops she recover and gain strength. She started eating on her own and start walking and later even RUNNING. We continue with the program and gave her and Us happy and wonderful 11 more months We just wanna say thank YOU very, very much. Sincerely Petr and Erika. By the way, she was 3 months short of being 15 years old!!!

My poodle Lulu was diagnosed with renal failure when she was 13 and a half years old. The veterinarian wanted to charge me over a thousand dollars to put Lulu in the hospital for one day and give her fluids to help reduce the toxins accumulating in her body. And they didn’t have anything to give her that would improve her condition.

Since I am a believer in natural healing and herbs, I started my quest to find something that would help my dog recover. I came upon Five Leaf Pet Botanicals website and read the reviews about the Canine Kidney Health products and decided to give it a try.

I started Lulu on the program immediately upon receiving the products and followed the protocol as instructed, never missing a dose.
I took Lulu to get blood work done once a month for 3 months and each month her blood work readings were improving. At the end of the 3rd month, the readings were in the mid-range of normal. I was so happy that I made the decision to give her these products as they reversed the kidney damage and she had a complete recovery. Given Lulu’s age, I decided to keep her on the products for the rest of her life.

Lulu has since passed on, and the cause of her death was NOT from renal failure. It was an unrelated health issue.

I want to acknowledge Five Leaf Pet Botanicals for their superior products. My dog Mickey is dealing with a heart condition and we will be utilizing their canine heart health products to protect Mickey’s heart, without the use of expensive drugs which by the way can cause renal failure. I am confident that Mickeys heart condition will be greatly improved once he starts the heart program.

I can’t thank you enough for taking your time to speak to me in March. I was desperate. My 13 year old Daschund was diagnosed with heart failure on 2-14-20. His cardiologist put him on 4 different types of medications that caused his kidneys to fail. He went into acute kidney failure on 3-1-20. Rocky became very ill after a week on the medications. He had stopped eating and drinking, and was very lethargic. He was so weak and unable to stand. I took him to the emergency vet one week after he started the meds and they suggested I consider putting him down. I decided to take him home that night. I was told he may not survive the night. In my desperation, I started doing research online. I came across Canine Kidney Health website and ordered the Five Leaf products ASAP. After speaking to Amanda, I followed her advice and gave Rocky Apple cider vinegar with ginger for his nausea. I also started the hydrotherapy the same day.

I started syringe feeding my dog until the herbs arrived. I made him the sweet potato and egg recipe from the website and put it in food processor and fed that to my dog. After just a couple of days on the program, Rocky started eating!! Below are results from his bloodwork from 3/1/20 and from June 17, 2020. I put Rocky on both the heart and kidney programs. These herbs are a true miracle. Amanda, you were put on this earth to save countless dogs from being euthanized before their time. I can’t thank you enough!!

Maggie is a doxie mix and 16 years old. I received the dreaded diagnosis about a year ago of kidney disease. I sought out the help of a holistic vet in my area who suggested I try the Five Leaf program for Maggie. Desperation pushing me forward I did and spoke to myself saying you are indeed desperate how can Five Leaf help my girl when the vet who gave me the diagnosis could not do much for her. However, I put faith in the holistic vet and purchased the product. Returning for bloodwork to see how Maggie was coming along I almost literally fell off the chair when she told me Maggie’s lab work was within normal limits. I thank God every day and the Five Leaf program’s founder for giving Maggie a longer healthier life. I know my girl would not be here today without it.

Also, Maggie had continued to not really want to eat and it was suggested I try the CBD (nuleaf) for dogs and that did help her big time with wanting to eat again.

Emilea, with Five Leaf has walked alongside me and Maggie with this journey. Giving me suggestions and direction all along the way. I am forever grateful to her for her patience and feedback with all my many questions.

Honestly, if you have been searching for something to help your baby as many of us do when getting such a diagnosis I suggest you try this product. It may seem expensive at first glance but when you weigh how much it costs to take care of a sick dog that isn’t going to be given any hope for a longer life I think you will soon see how very reasonable the product is and help is sitting there. Don’t settle for an old and hopeless viewpoint when there is a viewpoint that looked outside the box and offers hope for better tomorrow’s.

God bless each and everyone. With love from me and Maggie

Just wanted to say thank you so much for your products. A little over a year and a half ago our dog Abby was diagnosed with kidney failure. She was only 4 years old, an adorable, playful MaltiPoo. The kidney failure was caused from a tick bite. She never had Lyme disease but whatever the tick transmitted into her, wreaked havoc with her kidneys. Our vet at the time said she had a month to live, and did I just want to put her down. I was horrified because she didn’t seem that sick. But all of the tests showed how much damage was done. I started researching homeopathic methods for kidney disease and came across your website. Our vet at the time laughed at me and so I left their practice and found an amazing vet who was on board with what I wanted to try. We started her right away and in 2 weeks she started eating again and was showing more energy. After about 3 months she seemed like her old self. Her numbers were still not normal but coming down. She had moved from kidney failure to chronic kidney disease. In the late fall, her numbers were as close to normal as possible and we were so happy. Our girl was back! Sadly the kidney disease progressed a few weeks ago and we had to put
Abby down. We know that we had an extra year and a half with Abby thanks to your kidney disease drops. Thank you for making this product and giving us so many special memories with Abby.

Last October, our 14 year old Chihuahua, Bama took a turn for the worse. She was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disesase, stage 2 in May 2019. On that Thusday morning when we got her to the Vet clinic, her regular Vet was not in. The Vet that cared for her advised us she might not make it 30 minutes if they didn't get her into ICU. Thankfully, they administered care and she responded. Her Vet took over her care the next day. They decided she had moved to stage 3. While Bama was at the hospital I started researching kidney treatment and found Five Leaf Pet Botanicals. I called Amanda and she assured me of the 30 day money back guarantee. I ordered the program. Bama came home from the hospital but we had to take her back daily for sub Q fluids. She didn't look good and we were preparing to say our goodbyes. I received the kidney botanicals and started giving them to Bama. For 10 days she was just hanging on. On the 11th day our entire family said our goodbyes and decided we couldn't watch her suffer any longer. We intended to take her in the next day for the unthinkable The net morning, she woke and ate better than she had in months! Bama continued to improve and we have had her with us for 8 months that we didn't expect. I did the three week program four times and then we started using the maintenance drops. Occasionally, we do another round of treatment. We are thankful for every day we have with her. Sadly, Bama's hips are weak and causing her issues now but we are doing our best to keep her on her feet the best we can. I know without Five Leaf Pet Botanicals and Amanda we wouldn't have had these last 8 months!

On 4/2/20 my Prince, a 4.1pd toy poodle, woke me at 3am and could not use his four legs and was dragging himself. He is my service animal so I was in panick. I rushed him to the ER and they told me he had a bactrial infection, bladder infection, and was in final stage renal failure with a CERT of 4.6 and BUN of 100. They sent me home with a bag of fluid, line and needles to give him 50cc of fluid every 12 hrs along with Hills prescription Multi-Benefit w/d food and said he cou;d have no protein. The ER vet told me I may have 1-3 mos left with Prince. I was devastated and determined not to let him die and God lead me to this site. I ordered the renal/liver kit with the dog greens to be shipped 2 days. The next day my vet calls and said, more bad news. he has a heart murmur as well. I called Amanda who owns this company and ask her if I needed to order her heart cleaner as well. She said, "No I would not do that now, I beleive if you wait and get his blood and kidneys working properly the heart murmur will go away. Within a few days of giving Prince these herbs he revived and started acting as his normal self, almost like a puppy again full of energy. I would sprinkle the dog greens on his food and twice a day put the cleanser drops on his food, and twice a day give him the drops by the syringe that came with the kit I would add to his food fresh steamed veggies and sprinkle a pinch of ground up organic egg shells. Prince loves the dog greens so much he will lick the bowl to eat them all. I also performed the Hydrotherpy you suggested in your book and it was very helpful and something Prince enjoyed. On May 4, 2020 ( 6 weeks later) I took Prince back to the Vet and had his blood work done again. His BUN was down to 50, from 100 and his CERT was 1.4, from 4.6 so now it's in normal range so his kidneys are working and the heart murmur went away. PRAISE GOD! The vet totld me in 38 years of practice he has never seen such a quick recovery and amazing to see a heartmurmur just go away like that. I had taken him 5 Leaf booklet I received from you and told him about these herbs. He told me that he had a small dog like Prince that he had told the owner he was to far gone for them to help and that he was worried about the owner committing suicide if he lost the dog. He was calling the man to have him order the product immediatly. Last week I received another call from Dr. Southworth to check on Prince and thank me for these herbs and how many fur babies we will be able to save with them. He belives in natuarl herbs and even said that most vets will tell you that you cannot heal the kidenys but he said if I were willing to work hard he felt we could keep Prince with me for some time after the UF Emergency Room said I might have 3 mos left with Prince and would not even allow me to do his fluid at home. Your herb program made my work easy. When Dr. Southworth read the ingredients in these cleaners he said to me, "Well dandalion and root then it can;t be so bad for you". Amand, thank you for saving my Service animal for me and returning my phone call advising me from your heart. I now know why you have the reviews that you do and may God Bless you always. You truly are sewing your good fruit to enter the heavely kingdom. I'm sure Dr. Southworth will give you lots of business since Prince's recovery shocked this 38 year veteranian when his heart mumer just disappeard, as you said it would, and kidneys were functioning in a normal range. I refered somene to you today, who shows afghan, and her baby has hemangiosarcoma so I said call Amanda and order the heart cleaner today.

I spoke to you back in June about my dog, Samson (a 2 year old Rotweiler) who was diagnosed with
acute kidney failure. I took Samson to the vet concerned after two days of diarhea and vomitting. To
my dismay, my vet advised me that Samson’s kidneys were failing and that I needed to get him to an
emergency clinic immediately for round the clock care. After two days at an emergency clinic receiving
treatment (fluids and antibiotics), Samson’s numbers were not getting better, but worse. He started
with a BUN of 98 and CREA of 8.1 that climbed to a BUN of 151 and CREA of 17 by the time he was
discharged. I was advised the next step in treatment was dialysis, which was not an affordable option
for my family so we decided to bring Samson home. He was given a poor prognosis. The doctor at the
emergency clinic advised me to prepare to make some difficult decisions in the next days to a week in
letting Samson go. On my follow-up visit to my vet two days later, I was advised that Samson’s condition
was terminal. While Samson was receiving care at the emergency clinic, the doctor made a comment that stayed with me. He said “we (veterinary medicine) are not where we need to be in treating kidney disease.” His statement and honesty was the catalyst that put me on the road to doing some research of my own
about kidney disease in dogs and alternative treatments. I happened upon your website
https://caninekidneyhealth.com and called and left a message for you. You were kind enough to return
my call and were very realistic with me in 1) first standing behind the quality of your products; and 2)
stating that nothing in the program would harm Samson, which I verifed with my vet. I am thrilled to advise that Samson is doing well! As I write this letter, Samson is eating, walking, playing, and showing all outward signs of optium health. On Day 1 of the Canine Kidney Program Samson started eating and immediately started showing signs alertness. From then on he was regaining strength day by day. I also immediately started hydrotherapy 2 to 3 times day and saw immediate improvements in his conditon. After 10 days on the program I took Samson in for bloodwork and his BUN was down to 128 (from 151) and his CREA down to 5 (from 17). My vet was amazed! After 31 days on your program Samson’s CREA was down to 42 (the goal is below 35) and his CREA was down to 2.9 (the goal is 1.6). His white blood cells are still slightly elevated, but we are estatic to still have him with us and know he is still improving being on the maintenance dosage of the program in addition to some natural supplements (probiotics, omega fish oil, etc.). I plan to run bloodwork in another month with the hope of seeing Samson’s numbers further improving or maintaining.
I just wanted to write to say “thank you” for sharing your product. I loved your story and am so grateful
to have found your product that literally saved Samson’s life!

Kaos is a 3 year old German shepherd dual purpose police K9. He went into kidney failure in May and has been back and forth to the vet with his creatinine level, BUN level, and phosphorus level so that that he shouldn’t have even been alive. Creatinine alone was at 9.3. I began this kidney medicine with just hopes that something would save him. Today after three months all of his kidney levels were completely normal and he been taken off all medication and fluids. I can’t thank you enough for literally saving my police K9 partner!

I had read so many reviews all of which gave me hope. My little boy, Chubby, was very sick. After extensive testing, it was discovered he had polycystic kidneys and stage 1 liver disease. The vet had given him 6 months to live. His condition is hereditary. His mum died when she was 11.5 yo, his siblings 7 and 10. Chubby is almost 13. He is the cutest, smartest pomeranian/maltese boy I have ever seen. Okay, I'm his mum but seriously...he is! I thought he'd live to be 20+ and he still might so I was devastated when I was given the news although I knew there must be some way to help him. I never take the medico's word as gospel. Chubby had always been extremely lively and we dubbed him our ADHD dog, so to see him, quiet, drawn, continuously licking his paws and urinating and drinking astonishing amounts of fluid...I knew there was something seriously wrong. I took him to a vet and insisted on kidney and liver blood tests suspecting this was the cause of his change in demeanour. The tests came back reasonably normal execept the urea which was a little high but nothing to be alarmed about. The vet gave him cortisol tablets which I resisted giving him because I still suspected kidney issues and giving him that would add to his load. I did succumb in the end because his paws were split and bleeding and he was having difficulty walking. I thought it might be from a liver issue and the vet reassured me that his liver test was fine. PLEASE DO NOT BLINDLY ACCEPT WHAT YOU ARE TOLD! I took him to the vet a number of times because he was not getting better. I took him off the cortisol as my instinct was screaming at me to get him off that stuff. Luckily I did. After repeated visits and increasing expense I grew frustrated and asked to see a specialist. This is when I found out the actual cause. He has a very large cyst on one of his kidneys and several smaller ones on the other. His liver is at stage 1 failure and he was going downhill fast, hence the 6 months diagnosis. My friend told me about Five Leaf and I made an urgent enquiry. Amanda graciously called me...I'm in Australia and of course the time zone difference came into play but we finally connected. Amanda was very reassuring and patiently answered my many questions. I felt a great sense of relief as she told me of her high success rate with the dogs she has treated over the years. I ordered the products and withing a week they were on my doorstep. That in itself was a miracle given the current state of the world and the movement of freight! I immediately started to give Chubby the drops and over the next few days I noticed a change in his demeanour. One of the first things that struck me was the cloudiness that had gathered in his eyes was starting to disappear. The vet told me this was old age but I did not believe that was the case.It was in fact, toxicity that his body was unable to expel as his internal filtering system was packing up! I knew from that point that my boy had been given a second chance. The next thing I noticed was that he was not drinking as much and not urinating as much either. He was starting to have accidents around the house which was not like him at all and that stopped when I started giving him the drops. He has had one course (3 weeks) so far and has come back to life! He is keenly eyeing off the cyclists ready to give chase and as sprightly as ever! His eyes are alive again, twinkling with mischief and sparkling with health. The smell that was emanating from his body...the toxic smell, decreased and it is now very slight. I have stopped giving him the drops now for 3 days but I am going to start him on another cycle to give his kidneys an extra cleanse and boost.
The other thing that really helped was the hydro. He is not fond of it and looks at me with such a puzzled look on his face as I spray hot and cold water on his kidneys and liver for 15 minutes. It is astonishing to see how vibrant he is after that session! I have been doing it once a day and will continue. I have also been giving him acupuncture at a holistic vet I found. I can see this is helping him too. I will also be giving him an enzyme called serrapeptase which breaks down the protein turning it into amino acids. It eats away dead cells and cysts and I am praying that it will smash his cysts so he can make a full recovery! I plan to write again and let you know how my Chubs is going. If these 3 weeks are an indication, I suspect I will be writing many good things. I thank God that I got onto the Five Leaf program because I am certain that the vet's prognosis would have become a reality. Amanda, you are an exceptional human being who God sent my way. Thank you and I am telling everyone so they too can help their furry friends. A heartfelt thanks, Di....Australia x

It was almost one year ago to the day that our little Mac started vomiting and was very ill. The lab work at the Vet came back and we were all shocked that Mac was in kidney failure. My husband and I were devastated by this sudden and devastating diagnosis. The Vet ask us to leave Mac for several days to monitor him and give him fluids. As soon as my husband and I returned home we both started researching every bit of information that we could find for kidney disease. We were both very impressed with the products and information from Five Leaf Pharmacy. We reached out to them at the pharmacy and they recommended the renal cleanse and blood cleansing tonic. Mac returned home his kidney levels were still high and his prognosis was not good. Shortly after he returned home we received the products and I started giving them to Mac. They provide you with a syringe that makes it so easy to administer. Within 2 to 3 days Mac improved. Mac had follow up visits with our Vet to monitor his kidney levels. Each week as we returned for his follow up Mac’s levels improved. Soon they were within normal range. Our Vet could not believe it! We had our Mac back full of energy and spunk! I have continued to give Mac the Rena cleanse and the blood cleansing tonic. Anytime I stopped giving them to Mac he has lost his spirit and had a downturn in energy. I also give both of my puppies the Dog Greens daily mixed with a bit of apple sauce. I have reached out to Amanda on many occasions and her advice and ideas have always been so helpful and given me peace of mind. Thank you Amanda and Five Leaf Pharmacy for giving Mac a quality of life that is rare with this diagnosis.

This kidney program saved my dog's life, a bold statement I know but it is the truth. A year and a half ago my 11year old border collie, who had started to decline in his health already, got Leptospirosis. He became so sick the er vet advised me to put him down that day as his kidney numbers were so bad they wouldn't even register on the charts. I took him to another er vet clinic who discovered he had Leptospirosis. We got him on an antibiotic and iv fluids. He made it through the night and had to stay there for three nights before we moved him to a vet clinic to stay for another week. During this time the vets told me he would never be able to play fetch or go for walks again. They told me he would need to get subcutaneous fluid injection everyday. This was devastating to me as Levi was used to playing a long game of fetch everyday. When he was at the vets my mom started researching support for kidneys for dogs. She found your website. Once I brought Levi home I started giving him raw dog food, filtered water, and the kidney program. A month later I took him in to get his kidney levels checked. The vets were astounded when his kidney numbers came back in the perfect range. Levi is now 12 and acts younger than he did when he was 8. He plays a hearty game of fetch everyday, goes on 10mile hikes in the mountains, and has more life and joy in him than I have seen in years. The smile he has on his face now that he feels good makes me cry. I give him the dog greens everyday as well as the pet protect. I gave him the whole kidney program again a year after this event just to make sure his body is supported. I also have stories of how this helped my parents two dogs who got Leptospirosis at the same time heal their kidneys from the damage the infection caused. They are so thankful to have found Five Leaf. Another testimony is from my grandma. Her 13yr old shizu was diagnosed with kidney failure and told she would die soon around the same time my dog was sick. She also switched her dog to raw food, filtered water, and gave her the kidney program. Her dog is now 14 and acts peppy and healthy. Everytime her kidney numbers get checked they are always in a great range now. I tell everyone I can how Five Leaf saved my dogs life as well as my families dogs lives. I cannot express how thankful I am for that. I have had my dog Levi since I was 13. He is my whole world and I truly cannot picture life without him right by my side.

The first week in September our dog Healey (5Y11M) wasn't acting normally. At the vet is was discovered through blood / lab work that he had kidney failure. His values were BUN 94 norm is under 25, CRE 5
norm is under 1.4. He went to the Vet Hospital for 5 days of IV fluid therapy, and various RX's. We were told Healey had stage 3 chronic kidney failure. at discharge his labs were BUN 57, CRE 3.1. He had improved but was far from normal. At home we continued the subQ fluids, and various RX. We didn't change his diet because the Hospital said get him to eat whatever he will eat. My friend told me about Canine kidney health and I started it by the end of the second week in Sept 28 we rechecked Healey Blood at the Vet. I wasn't good (BUN 109,CRE 5.3) We changed Healey's diet to a kidney healthy diet, continued the plan with K9 KI health and various other RX's and SubQ fluids. Oct 15, lab recheck to quote our vet "Happily Surprised" at his
improvement. BUN 36, CRE 3.8. Today 10/19, we decided with our vet to stay the coarse with the diet, SubQ fluids, Blood Pressure RX and Canine Kidney Health. Healey is Healing and I am SURE Canine Kidney Health is the reason.He just turned 6 and now I believe he WILL make it to 7.

DON'T HESITATE! This absolutely works! Taz is 131/2 and part border collie and laborador. He is the love of my life! He was first diagnosed with Thyrode Disease and then they told me about the Kidney Disease. Last June I was told by the vet that Taz had stage 4 kidney disease. He had stopped eating, was very lethargic and if anything had diarrhea and not a regular poop. I asked her if there was anything I could do? The response was no, just try to get him to eat and still exercise him. I asked what should I feed him and she said I don't care as long as he eats. After crying for two days I wasn't going to give up on him. I have loved all my dogs but Taz is extra special to me since I was in a horrible car accident that left me bedridden for 4 months while my spine healed. He never left my side and laid his head across my body cast everyday. I scoured the internet and came across Five Leaf. I ordered it and started the program. Taz has a sensitive stomach and is extremely picky about what he eats. It was a challenge on getting these herbs down him BUT he started eating again and then he was pooping and that led to him exercising more. At the end of 4 weeks Taz' kidney test was back to normal! It was as if he was a new dog again. We live within walking distance of a state park and I was walking him 3-4 times a day. He was his happy self again. So just as an update this is 4 months later and he has had a little set back with a spike in his BUN. I immediately overnighted the products again and started him right away. After 4 days he is eating like a champ, doesn't have the diarrhea that came back for whatever reason. We are back on track with normal solid poops and food has gained is interest. I will be going back for tests but it is incredible the change in him once I started the program again. We all know that 2020 was tough but the brightest light was that I found Five Leaf and was able to give my "bestie" more months with me. THANK YOU SO MUCH FIVE LEAF! You are a God Send!

I’ve never written a review for any of the thousands of products I’ve purchased. The fact that I am doing so now is because this product actually WORKS.

Our precious Kristoff is 16 ½ years old. During his annual hygiene appointment, blood tests showed that he was in kidney failure and had early signs of heart disease. She is insisted we immediately rush him to a specialized veterinary clinic 2 ½ hours drive away. We dropped everything and sped to the hospital. He spent 2 nights there with a constant intravenous drip and then released. Like so many of the stories I read on this site, the vet basically said he’s getting old and to keep him comfortable.

Not so fast. After researching canine kidney options, I came across Five Leaf Pet Botanicals and ordered Amanda’s kidney program immediately. I stuck to her 9-week regiment religiously. On week 10, we returned to my vet. She was blown away. Kristoff’s kidney levels were normal and his heart disease decreased from a 5 to a 3. She insisted to know what I had done to achieve such miraculous results.

Now on Amanda’s maintenance program, we look forward to having Kristoff around for several more years.

Our little dog was diagnosed with stage 3 Kidney disease back in May of this year. We were devastated! The vet's diagnosis was very grim. We knew our little guy wasn't "himself" but had no idea the severity of his trouble. After talking to my partner later on that evening about the benefit of healing with herbs and supplements from the inside out, I started doing some research online. The universe brought me to the Five Leaf Pet Botanicals website!! I immediately sent an email inquiring about their products as well as with many questions. I received a response the next day! I called and spoke with the most wonderfully helpful person and ordered the products right away. Our boy-boy's numbers are heading in the right direction. He is full of energy and life again! He eats well, has gained a few pounds, and is living his best life. We owe it all to the Five Leaf Pet Botanicals products. We cannot express our gratitude with words. We HIGHLY recommend these products. They have changed our boy's quality of life. We are eternally grateful and will be a forever customer.

I want to say thank you for creating such an amazing products. I’m so thankful I found y’all. My dog prince was diagnosed with kidney failure and I was told he had less than 4 months left. I was devastated but I needed to find a second opinion. I’m always believed in the holistic approach and after researching I came across this product, and just wow! I followed their steps and changed my dog to homemade food. I’m so happy to say that by god’s grace and this amazing product my dog lived 4 more years. I highly recommend and I’m forever grateful

My precious beagle, Sophie, age 11, was diagnosed with 3rd stage renal
disease in April 2023. She had always had robust health, but we
recently lost her 'aunt' and very best friend in February and Sophie
took it hard (as did we) and we think she internalized her grief
resulting in the renal disease. This journey has been very difficult
for all of us (we have another beagle too).
My vet, whom I really like, is pretty allopathic in her approach and
couldn't offer any remedies except the IV flushes and a low protein
diet with their canned food, which Sophie hated! Essentially, she just
said that this was progressive and there wasn't much we could do:(!
Because I am an Ayurvedic practitioner, I know the power of herbs and
felt there had to be another way to tackle this health issue. So, I
did an exhaustive search online to educate myself and mercifully
discovered Five Leaf. The protocol made perfect sense so I ordered the
renal package and started Sophie on it immediately! I also gave her
Azodyl (probiotic enzyme that breaks down the protein before it gets
to the kidneys) and started making her food. She was also on Renal K
as a potassium supplement and Epakitin to bind the phosphorous before
reaching the kidneys.
After just 3 days on the renal herbal tinctures Sophie's appetite was
back (you REALLY have to worry when a beagle doesn't eat!) We
completed 2 cycles and she is brand new - better than ever! Acting
like a puppy again. It was a joy to see! We just got her renal blood
panel back and her numbers were wonderful! Creatinine went from 4.7 to
1.7. BUN went from 126 to 31! Everything else was in normal range.
Yeah Sophie!
I have given your website to my vet (she was pretty amazed at the
results) and told her to please recommend you to all her patients with
renal/liver/heart issues. You guys are a God send! God Bless all of
you for your wonderful product and outstanding customer service!

After 2 years with my rescued 7 year old Bijon mix, Miss Lizzie, she started having difficulty peeing. She always urinated very frequently, more that normal, but this was different. One night before I could get her into the vet she tried and tried but could not pee. In the morning I took her in before they opened and found out she had bladder stones,11 to be exact, and one had broken up and lodged in her ureter. Urine had backed up and the Dr said surgery was necessary but she would not know if her kidneys were damaged. Several days after surgery she came home, thinner and lifeless. When she tried to eat she would throw up and her little body would shudder and heave up what little food she ate. The same happened when she drank. She couldn't last like this. Back she went to the vet; her blood levels were off the charts. Dr. T said she was in kidney failure. She offered me an anti-emetic and some canned "kidney diet" food and told me to bring her back when I needed to put her down. A matter of a few weeks according to her. I have always made my dogs food from healthy everyday human ingredients. I went home that day and did research on canine kidney diets. That is how I found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. I read everything on the website. I mixed up the apple cider vinegar with applesauce and ginger and syringed a small amount down her throat. I saw immediate relief. She started keeping down the water! I then went out and got organic chicken, ground it and slightly sauteed it (she never could keep down raw food, even before), mixed it with rice, sweet potato, ground organic vegetables. She didn't eat much but with the apple cider mix she kept it down. In the morning I called the web site number, not really expecting a call back and ordered the kit. At the end of that day Amanda called apologizing for how long it took her to call. I couldn't believe she even called, let along the same day. WE discussed the water therapy, eggshell powder and a few other things I could do until the herbal remedies arrived. I did them all. As soon as I got the tinctures I started her on them. She hated them and soon after taking them had the strength to put up quite a fight. I called Amanda again and asked if I could put them in her food. A quick call from her and we were okay with that method of ingestion. Weeks later, for an after surgery checkup, Lizzie walked into the vets with a gleam in her full of life. The vet couldn't believe it and asked what I had done. I told her of the diet, supplements and Five Leaf Pet web site and was summarily dismissed as poppycock!! I bought enough tinctures to do 4 rounds. Lizzie however, does better on the tinctures as a regular part of her diet that not. Three years later and not only is she wonderfully well but eats her food raw. Truly amazing results. She has so much life in her..On her recent annual exam, Miss Lizzie's blood work showed a small rise in her bun levels. I had increased her protien levels to 50 percent and believe that was the cause, but a quick call to Amanda and a few adjustments and I am truly sure she will be as good as usual. Thank you for showing me how to save my dogs life when all I have gotten was a large bill and a death sentence from the vet

With properly cooking at home and this program my dog is very healthy again. It’s amazing in 2 weeks the level of the CREA and BUN back to normal.  My vet is speechless how this program works very well in my dog. I’m so grateful to this company, they save my dogs life !!!

Our 3 year old Aussie mix, Harvey, has struggled with severe allergies for 2 years. And after several cycles of steroids and anti-fungal oral meds, I decided to see if we could heal him from in the inside out. Taking him off kibble and putting him on a raw diet did wonders. So much so that our dermatologist vet told me that whatever I was doing, I should keep doing it because his coat looked so good and Harvey was so healthy. Then last May (2022), he got into a big bottle of ibuprofen and ate them like candy. (well over 200 tablets) Unfortunately, I didn't discover his mischief until 2 days later. 2 days after he threw up a couple of times in the night and I didn't know why. 2 days later he doesn't want to eat, I find the empty bottle with it's chewed up lid and top, and rushed him to the emergency vet. We were told he was in acute kidney failure with a creatinine so high it would not register a number on equipment. He was admitted and given IV fluids and we were told by the emergency vet that he would have kidney disease the rest of his life. On May18, 2022, after 2 days of IV fluids, his elevated labs were creatinine = 4.3 mg/dL, BUN = 93 mg/dL. May 19th his Creatinine = 2.4 mg/dL, BUN 41 mg/dL. Still elevated but improved enough to go home with a promise to return in one week for follow up labs. He had a great appetite but not interested in drinking water. His BUN and creatinine bumped up a little a week later. I don't have those numbers but it did prompt me to research for more help. I stumbled upon five leaf botanicals. Honestly, reading the reviews got me excited and gave me hope. I was desperate to save our sweet boy. I ordered the kidney package and followed all the protocols, diet and tinctures and dog greens. Harvey's energy and appetite improved. We completed that first round of tinctures in June and Harvey was doing well. Come July, his allergies, scratching and licking took off. July has always been his worst month for allergies. His hair started to fall out and fungal infection set in. He was not eligible for oral anti-fungal meds due to his history of kidney damage. I was prescribed an anti-fungal/antiseptic shampoo and instructed to bathe him daily for 7 days. After 4 days and no improvement, I went back to the five leaf kidney protocol and started another round of the tinctures. In one day, his scratching lessened. The fungal infection healed and his hair started to grow back a week later. Harvey was starting his third week of the kidney protocol when we had Labs repeated at our family vet office on September 19th and Dr. Moses couldn't believe the results. Creatinine = 1.0 mg/dL BUN = 27 Both within normal ranges. Liver enzymes in normal range. And IDEXX SDMA was 14. This indicates kidney function better than creatinine and was just inside normal ranges. Dr. Moses said, "I've never seen kidneys heal that fast before". And he started practicing in the 70s. I shared the protocol with his vet tech who praised the herbal blends. She's a believer!! And she has converted our wonderful vet!! I am so very thankful to Amanda and to all who have shared your stories. You gave me hope and now I can share our story. Harvey is going on the maintenance protocol and I will be order another program for our other dogs as cleanses.

Peaches has severe kidney disease and heart enlargement, but somehow she’s been living her best life thanks to five leaf botanicals-along with changing her diet to homemade meals, a phosphorus binder (we use renal P here in Costa Rica), and also IV fluids when she has her down days to help flush out her system. She has so much more energy, and loves her food (she was always a picky eater) even at the age of 12 she is happy to wake up every morning. We also started her last year on stem cell therapy injections as well, but I like to think it was a whole body approach to make her feel better. She has severe chronic kidney disease being hospitalized several times over the last 5 years costing thousands of dollars, a few vets even suggesting that I should put her down- but her levels keep bouncing back and she is still alive! And now we have a strategy that helps her keep her feeling good it’s been almost a year since her last hospitalization and I hope to just continue to keep her quality of life well. I wish you all the best of luck and just know that it’s never too late to try to help ur little friends, my only regret is that I didn’t change her diet sooner! Today is the day!!!

My 15 year old dog, Gracie, started vomiting and had diarrhea suddenly one Friday in May a year ago. She quickly became lethargic. I was shocked and did not know what was going on. I took her to the emergency vet clinic and they gave her some fluids and medicine and told me that she was in kidney failure and that I should take her home and make her comfortable. Her Creatinine was 4.8, BUN was 104 and Phosphorus was 13.3. I could not believe how fast she became ill. I was heart broken. I took her to my vet after a day and my vet told me about the Five Leaf Pet Botanical Program. He said he thought it was worth trying. She was started on subcutaneous fluids two times daily initially and the Five Leaf Pet Botanical Program. After 6 weeks, Gracie's Creatinine dropped to 2.1 and her BUN was in normal limits. This program literally saved her life. I am so grateful. . Gracie is now 16 and is on the maintenance program.

This protocol gave me almost 3 more years with my sweet girl. Kidney disease is brutal - it is a labor of love but all worth it for the extra time. Put in the effort, fluids, meal prep and Five Leaf protocol will pay off. Our sweet Harley ended up passing this spring from related causes but not due to elevated kidney numbers. 18 years of unconditional love is something we could never pay back and we are definitely heart broken.

Mar 30th 2023, our 13 year old dachshund was not himself, body wasting poor appetite & dehydrated. So we were informed by our vet he's in renal failure with no hope in getting better (so said the vet). We were devasted (but not willing to give up) BUN 80.2 with CREA 2.9 A followup visit a week later April 10th 2023 with worsening results BUN 124.8 CREA 3.9 The advice given from the vet; supportive care, subcutaneous fluids three times a week with a renal support product. We searched on-line for a better alternative: 5 🌿 canine kidney health. In reading the testimonials we made the decision to help our feisty friend Chencho. June 12th 2023, after nine weeks of following the 5🌿 canine kidney health Chencho's results are now BUN 71 CREA 2.6. He has been off subcutaneous fluids for 4 weeks. Chencho has regained his body mass and weight. His behavior is back to playful, feisty, yappy & eating on his own without being forced fed. Chencho also enjoys the heat and cold therapy too. We will continue the program until the results get back to normal.
We and Chencho thank God and 5🌿

We are writing this review on behalf of the best dog in the whole world. 😊 On July of 2022, Buddy went in for his annual senior exam. He was 13.3 years old at the time. Everything seemed normal to us and nothing odd about his condition or behavior. We were expecting a typical clean bill of health. The Dr reported back that his creatine levels were up and that we should watch them. She said that they have been normal every year but this time suddenly, they were up. She wanted a retest in 2-3 months, but no additional guidance for changes, so we figured maybe it was a fluke. In October we boarded him with the Dr’s office while going on a vacation. While there, they drew blood again and reported grim news to us. Dr informed us his creatine and Bun had jumped to much higher levels and that in her opinion it had solidified irreversible degenerative kidney issues. She said it was most likely due to age and advised we just change his diet to Science Diet KD kibble, starting immediately in boarding, and retest in 2 months. She also said he only had 1 to 1.5 years left to live. This was very grim news obviously. Hindsight we found it uncaring to give a specific death sentence over the phone while just starting a vacation. Buddy was in their care, and they could have held back that kind of death sentencing until we returned home, as he seemed fine when we dropped him off. Needless to say, we had a rough night. But maybe that news was for the best because it motivated us to do extreme and immediate research on our end and a firm decision that we were not going to accept that death sentence. Nor were we going to just leave it at a simple change to kibble as the only thing we were going to do. In our research we looked at the kidney failure symptom lists. I am sure everyone reading this has already seen that list. Well, the only things I can even lean towards were that he did drink more water lately, he slept more, and over the last year he has had a harder time jumping up on taller furniture (but he is over 13yrs old so…). His weight was down from 40ish to 38.5, but that amount can also easily be variance in the person weighing him. Then we read about diets for kidney issues. Science Diet KD does appear to be a good kibble for kidney health, but in other articles kibble was demonized. Then we found 5 Leaf and read all of the information and reviews and realized there was a lot more we could try. All of this research was done within 12 hours of the phone call from the Dr. We decided right then we would throw the kitchen sink at trying to reverse this beyond what the Dr was recommending and refused to believe we only had 1.5 years max left. We had no interest in doing minimal changes and see how it helped, then try more. If he truly only had 1.5 years left, we did not have time to baby step the treatment. The research and 5 Leaf info and reviews changed our attitude and gave us focus. We ordered the full 5 Leaf package and were able to enjoy the remainder of the vacation knowing in our hearts that Buddy was going to defy the odds our Dr gave. We were so confident we even bought him a brand-new collar and leash feeling he would still get lots of use out of it. Hope restored. When we picked up Buddy, we immediately started the cycles and changed his diet. We rid the house of his former treats, which were great quality, just not great for the kidney issues. For his food, we used the beef and rice recipe from the 5 Leaf booklet. Instead of the chicken jerky treats he used to get, we cut slices of peeled sweet potato and baked them for simulated jerky treats (sliced at ¼” and baked 3 hrs at 250, flipped halfway through). Buddy liked the sweet potato a lot but didn’t take to the beef and rice recipe right away. Especially not with the greens mixed in. We had to back off the greens to get him to eat it. When we talked to the Dr about our plans, she was extremely negative. We provided all of the 5 Leaf info and our plans, but she seemed to only hear the diet part of things. She seemed very offended that we were not going to follow the kibble diet that she advised and then she pushed the raw food company that conveniently sold in her office. I am sure that well known raw food company is just fine, but they are expensive and likely no different than the recipe. I informed the Dr that we were going to make our own food and even provided the recipe. Her reply was “ I guess you are going to make him the Guinea pig” and “How good can 5 leaf be if she has never heard of them”. Those comments rubbed us the wrong way and motivated us to really stick to things so Buddy could really prove her wrong. Her attitude improved slightly on the next call as she could tell we were not budging. She conceded that the recipe looked fine, but also recommended we not use raw hamburger and instead chose something more lean. Our next batch of food we used turkey burger AND after mixing, we baked in a casserole dish at 350 for 25 minutes so it wasn’t raw. (Raw poultry just doesn’t seem right to us, even if it might be) We made a large batch and froze most of it. Buddy came around to eating it, but he would only eat late at night as he was hoping for his past treats all day long. As night closed in, he realized eat what we gave, or nothing, and would then finish his bowl and bring the empty to us for more. This continued for 3 cycles. He did not like the syringes but too bad. He ate his food, but less than what the recipe book showed as a serving for his weight. We also switched his watering to just distilled water. We upped his exercise as well. We saw an immediate improvement in his energy levels. In fact, it was so drastic that we concluded that even if his next test numbers were bad, we preferred his newfound energy and that alone was worth the diet change. As the end of his cycles neared, I wanted to document the numbers he already had received so that we would know how much improvement we would get. Looking at our records, we only had summer of 2021: Creatine 1.6, BUN 24. July 2022: Creatine 2.3, BUN 25. Oct 2022: Creatine 3.1, BUN 49. The first thing we found odd was remembering the statement, “His numbers have always ben normal up until July 22”. While the statement was not inaccurate, there was only record of one previous test. So that statement was a little misleading as it seemed she as stating he had several good tests prior to this one. No doubt about it though, the Oct reading was a drastic jump. We have been told elsewhere that the stress of being in boarding when last test was performed could have drastically impacted at least the BUN reading. But I wont judge on that. All through his 3 cycles, we had extreme confidence that Buddy was going to defy the odds and it was going to be an in-your-face moment when the DR called with new numbers. How much we were not sure, and what we would do with the numbers we were not sure. Just before Christmas his 3 cycles were done, and we took him in for testing. Unfortunately, our original DR was unable to be there for the tests and all interaction about it was with a different DR at the same office. We were not going to be able to get that in-your-face moment and that was disappointing, but I did not want to wait to get numbers. A couple days later we got the call, and there was zero thought of the numbers not being a big improvement. When she said that she had good news really in my mind I was thinking, duh of course you do. That confidence and hope was the number one benefit of 5 leaf in my opinion. Dr was giving us doom and gloom, and 5 Leaf offered real hope. For that I cannot thank 5 Leaf enough. But thanks! So the moment of truth: Buddy’s weight was back to 40.5Lb, His Creatine was 1.2 and his BUN was 14! Thank you again 5 Leaf! So Buddy is a senior dog of course. His 14th birthday is in March. He obviously cannot do all of the things that he used to do. But now in our minds we still feel like he could be with us for several more years. We are going to continue with the beef and rice recipe but are changing it to ground chicken thigh meat with the fat removed. Also, instead of 4 ounces of meat per serving, we are increasing to 6 but will continue baking the mixture. FYI, he loves the new chicken thigh recipe and cleans his bowl both morning and night. We are also continuing to make homemade Sweet potato jerky treats and will only water with distilled water. We will continue with the recommended 2 week cycles every 6 months and will be getting another blood test in 6 months. We also want to get him to the point where he accepts the greens in his food. His new liking of the chicken thigh is a good opportunity for that and are going to restart that effort with maintenance dosage of greens. So here we are. Nothing but positive reviews will come from us. We have already been recommending 5 Leaf to other pet owners and will continue to do so. 5 Leaf has given us incredible results but equally or maybe even more importantly, they gave us hope in a very hopeless moment. I also must mention, from start to finish 5 Leaf has been there to offer advice and support on all decisions and changes we did to treat and meal plans. Thank you does not seem to be sufficient but
THANKYOU!

Side note: I know I was not pleased with the attitude of the Dr at our Vet clinic, and this review clearly reflects that, but I don’t want to slam the clinic as a whole. They are a great clinic that has served me for almost 30 years. All of my pets have always been happy to go there and for the most part I feel I get great service. Our Dr was just reacting to the numbers she got based on her training. Her attitude and ego was beyond poor in this instance, and she has a very closed mind when it comes to new holistic options, but I would not slam the clinic as a whole, nor would I give them bad

My Tucker was diagnosed with kidney disease about a year ago and was basically told there is no cure. But I wasn't going to watch him just get worse and die I had to do something.. So I started my research and found Five Leaf Pet Botanicals and loved what they stood for. So I decided to try the Hawthorne Tincture. Just three months later his kidney values stopped getting worse. My vet said it was really good but he wanted to see the values to decrease. It stated that I could give the Hawthorne Tincture 4x's a day. I started at 2x's a day and just upped the dose to 3x's a day. After only 3 mos. the values dropped significantly. After 6 mos. they are now back within normal range! I was ecstatic! Never give up on your beautiful pets! There are natural remedies out there that can help! Thank you so much Five Leaf Pet Botanicals for helping my little Tucker and giving him a few more wonderful years with me!!

I've read several, if not all, reviews on the Canine Kidney Health website and my heart goes out to all who have had run into these issues with their pups. Maverick (9 years old) was diagnosed with CKD about 1 year ago based on blood results, specifically SDMA which has been on a consistent rise and subsequently Creatinine, Urine Specific Gravity markers supporting the presence of CKD. SDMA is a relatively new test that gives early warning of potential kidney issues. When they formally diagnosed Maverick, I immediately googled, inquired about what I could do. Everything on the internet suggested 1 year until things became serious and my previous vet suggested putting him on kibble for kidney and on medication. I had never fed him kibble and wasn't about to start.. so I switched veterinarian, looking for one that support feeding raw and alternative medicines and began changing his diet. I tried a homemade for kidney, went to a canine nutritionist and tried customized home cooked recipes with supplements and numbers continued to rise. I came across this web site and ordered the kit, followed the recommended raw, made my own eggshell powder and re-tested his blood and thrilled to see the numbers were better. I ordered a second kit and ran through the process again, just had his blood work and urine analysis re-done (have been doing that monthly) and so excited to report that everything is back in normal range. SDMA (which I was told does not go down, only goes up) dropped from 18.6 to 11.2, creatinine from 156 to 138 (continues to come down) and specific gravity up from 1.014 to 1.024. Honestly amazing! My new vet emailed me today with an O.M.G. message in amazement of Mavericks results. I've very fortunate to have early indication of this issue and in absolute awe of this product, again all professionals consulted suggested there was nothing to do but simply reduce the protein which was not working on its own. Honestly, do not hesitate to give this product a try. And, as a side benefit his ears are clear, not that he had alot of issues with gunk in his ears but certainly was starting and since this product, nothing! So impressed, going to have my daughters run their dogs through a cycle or two in an effort to help with allergies.

Thank you Five Leaf Botanicals... truly grateful for having found you, appreciate all the support and will continue to use your product!

I wrote a review for 5 Leaf about 10 years ago. Our dog Chester had become terribly ill and we took him to the vet. We were told that Chester was suffering from acute renal failure and the best the vet could do was have the vet come by on the weekend to put Chester down for us.

We ordered products from Amanda. I gave them to the dog faithfully over the next weeks, followed the hydrotherapy recommendations Amanda provided. And, over time, Chester recovered.

I posted a review 10 years ago discussing how that went and what I did. (It's still here, just search for Chester.) And I thought I'd just send a quick update and photo of our boy 10 or more years later.


He's still a happy sweet Chihuahua! A bit older, a bit thicker and quite a bit more gray. And... He, may not always be "sweet". He IS aChihuahua, after all. 😉

Just wanted to say Thanks You. My dog Reese has been on the program for almost two weeks. We were told that her quality of life would deteriorate quickly and to make her comfortable. I ordered the paskage and after 3 days, she started walking a little by 5 days she was going out side without coaxing and yesterday was the 1st day she wanted to walk we did almost 3/4 mile in 2 walks. She is barking and playing again. I am hopeful that after the 6 weeks her blood work will show a complete reversal. Will update after her bloodwork

This is an update to my previous review a few weeks ago. Reese just started her 7th week of using the Herbs for Kidney failure. I spoke to the vet, telling him how great she was doing. She is walking and eating well, No further hard breathing and she loves the diet. Her skin condition is nearly clear and you can see how shiny her fur is in the photo. I will be taking her in to the vet at the end of the next two weeks for bloodwork. I have attached a photo of a very happy 13 yr old pup. She again greats us at the door and is walking and greeting our neighbors. Thanks for giving us a new lease on life for her.

In February of 2021 my little Morkie was diagnosed with kidney disease. Of course I was devasted and ask about what to do next. The vet said to give her a low protein and phosphoroous diet (in other words) precription food. I knew that food was not going to solve the problem. I did my own research and discovered Canine Kidney Health. I sent for the starter package and immediately started using it. I also cooked her own food with using the greens and other fresh vegs that was suggested in home cooked meals. At first she didn't want to eat some of the food, but later she did start to eat and it took me 8 months to get her kidneys to normal. I was thrilled. My baby was once again back to herself. However, we went away at Christmas for 6 days and a neighhbor offered to watch her. Coming home on Dec 28 and seeing my pup was so wonderful. I took her the vets for more blood work and the results came back that she was in third stage renal failure. I couldn't imagine what happened in those 6 days. From normal in Nov. to third stage renal failure in Jan. I started giving her more IV fluids, starting the program again but I just couldn't get her back to her old self. In April of 2022 we had to make the tough decision to let her go. It is so hard after having her 13 yrs to say goodbye. But the Five Leaf program helped for me to keep her 1 year longer than expected. It is a great program, and if you are thinking,hesitating about using it, please don't. I talked to Helen on the phone quite a bit. In fact I think I becamea pest. But they are always very helpful explaining how to use the products and will always return your calls. I forgot to mention that my vet was not onboard with this program. As alot of vets, they know nothing about nutrition. That is what this program is all about. Herbs, supplements, greens and homemade food. I have learned so much this past year about dog food, please everyone if you can make your own food for your fur baby, do so. It is the best and nutritious and you know what they are eating. I am so grateful for finding Canine Kidney Health. They helped me have my fur baby for 1 more year. Thank you Amanda and Helen. Forever Grateful

Hi. I had to write this review because I am so blown away by the results my little dog Parrot has had using your product. She was diagnosed with stage 1 kidney disease. The vet was very blase about it and I had no idea what a serious deadly disease it is. When I got home I looked it up online and just about keeled over - I was so absolutely horrified to read what these poor dogs go through with this disease. Parrot is my absolute heart, she's my whole world so I was determined to find a way to make her better. I refused to believe the assumption that this was not a curable disease. Parrot is magical and I knew she could be healthy again with the right assistance.Well, 6 months after using your product according to the instructions provided Parrot was again tested and she has normal kidney function. Completely normal . Your product absolutely cured her. I am beyond grateful because as I said she is everything to me and I am so glad I found your website. I'm so glad you also refused to believe that this was incurable. I think it is tragic that people are told this by their veterinarians and have no idea that it is indeed treatable and curable. I'm telling everyone I know about this because it really is amazing. Thank you thank you thank you from me and from Parrot; we are eternally grateful. By the way, Parrot is 14 years old and plays like a puppy! I do not have an order number as this was a gift I requested from a friend.

I did my research and found your program. I did 2, 3 week treatments. My next results in test 2 were: bun 25 normal, creatinine 2.3, still high but moving down, globulin 4.2, still high but moving down, albumin 2.4, low but moving up, phosphorus 3.9 normal, RBC 5.84 normal, HGB 14.6 normal, HCT 40.0 normal, lymphocyte 1166 normal. This test included a new kidney test the: SDMA and it was 23, on a scale of 0-14. I had started feeding her an all natural diet and your greens; and her breath immediately improved. Her first test was in June 2015 and her second test was in August 2015. Her third test was Feb. 2016 and these are her results :)) :bun 12 normal, creatinine 1.5 normal , globulin 4.1 normal is 4.0, albumin 2.8 normal, phosphorus 2.9 normal, RBC 6.42 normal, HGB 15.2 normal, HCT 41.7 normal, lymphocyte 1137 normal and her SDMA is 15 normal is 0-14. Her WBC moved down slightly but will be working on it. Every other reading is normal. I will be doing another treatment in a few months. Thank you for your great product. My vets have'nt called me to see what I have been doing, to get these great readings(sarcasm intended). Again, thank you so much.
