Guest Hotdogs Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi! I have a greyhound that just turned 7. She and my other other grey take Springtime Inc. 'Fresh Factors' and do well on it. She's in great shape, doesn't have as much energy as my other grey, but he's only 5 and I wonder if she just has a different personality than he. 1. I am just wondering if it's time to go to more intense age-related supplements? Or is it just over kill to treat a problem before it occurs? 2. Does anyone have experience with Longevity? My girl is very very finicky and I worried that since this supplement comes in a powder form, she'll turn her nose up at it. 3. I think maybe I'll start adding the joint health chewables in addition to the fresh factors??? What'd you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethGPAPS Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I tried Longevity and my dogs did turn their nose up at it. You have to put SO much in the food and it's this dark green powder that turns the food deep green and kind of stinky. I loved the idea of it, but it made their food smell like hay and they weren't having it. Fresh factors already has joint health ingredients, but I suppose you could add more/different. Get Up and Go Glucosamine is a good one.

Guest SueG201 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 try the ff and the joint health formula from Springtime, my almost 11 yr old grey is still bouncing around like a p uppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AllThingsBiotha Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've used Longevity for years but it did take a while for all the dogs to get used to it. Fresh Factors + Joint Health pretty much equals Longevity. If she likes the chewables, I would do both--definitely not overkill to use as a preventative.

galgrey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I recently started my crew on the Springtime Longevity. My girls both age 6 aren't really having any health problems, but I thought it sounded like a really good supplement. I've been adding it to their food for almost 2 weeks. They seem to like the taste of it just fine. Not so with my galgo, Cruz. To be fair, he's a picky eater on a good day, but he doesn't like it. I got some free Fresh Factors tablets with my order and he does like those. I'm bummed that he won't eat the Longevity, but not entirely surprised knowing him.

Remolacha Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Fletcher's been taking FF for years, and I started Molly on them when she came. I added Joint Health (for both) when Fletcher started showing some arthritis symptoms. They think the chewables are treats Fletcher and Molly are both 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I must have weird dogs b/c all 3 love the longevity. It does create a green gooey mess in their food. I mix it in with 1/6 canned food, 2 tablespoons of plain fat free yogurt and a little warm water in their kibble. My 5 and 7 yr old also get fresh factors and my spooky girl also gets stress free calmplex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest agroshong Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Axel (7) and Abbey (3) eat their Longevity mixed in with Honest Kitchen's Embark formula and whatever raw they're getting that meal. They've never turned up their nose at it, even picky Abbey. But, I think Embark is crack to them, so it was easy to slip it in to their diets.

brandimom Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I just ordered for the first time from Springtime Longevity. They are having a great sale. Buy two 1.4 lbs jars and get two free. Total $88.00. Gee I hope my dogs like it (after reading some of these posts I wonder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmund75 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I think it is a great product our 13 year old Aussie has been on it fir a ling time. Better to make it with some sort of broth or gravy. She used to choke on the dry powder. But she likes it. It is pricey si we quit it for a long time. Have a jar left so using it again. Don’t really notice if it works. She has bad arthritis in both knees so she is on a joint supplement. she was on carprofen for a long while but took her off due to what it damages in the long run. Now we will finish the Longevity and continue the joint supplements. Longevity seems like great product but do not see any difference in it or off it.
