We rescued Jenkins from a shelter on August 18, 2000. Jenkins was ten years old and was scheduled to be put down because of his horrible skin and chronic eye and ear infections.

When we found Jenkins, his systems were already shutting down due to an overload of toxins. He could barely walk, and he had no life in his eyes. I truly believe he would have died within the next few days. The poor guy had lost control of his bodily functions and was missing most of his coat. His skin was beet red, oozing, tight and hot.

The first thing we did for Jenkins was wash him with our newly created Theraneem Pet Neem Shampoo. We added an extra ounce of Organix Neem oil to the shampoo because his skin was SO bad. We massaged this into his skin for ten minutes before rinsing. Once he was dried off, we coated his skin with more neem oil. We repeated this every day for the first week. By the end of the third day, we could see a great improvement.

For seven and a half years, Jenkins jumped and played, his skin healthy and his coat full. His diet was limited, but as his immune system grew stronger, he became more tolerant of foods and supplements. He ate raw chicken necks, and most vegetables. Jenkins got one Supercritical Neem Cap every other day. We believe this helped with his sensitive skin and kept his digestive and immune system on track. Jenkins got a bath twice a week with TheraNeem Pet Shampoo and was lightly dusted with Neem bark powder as well.

Up until about a month before his 17th birthday, he was still bunny hopping around, especially at supper time. He would gallop around the officesat Organix-South in the morning. He would watch the sunset with his dad every night. And I’m most grateful that during the second half of his life with us, he had no pain. And by sharing his story of recovery, we have helped thousands of other itchy little dogs out there.

On June 28, 2007, at a little over 17 years, Mr. Jenkins went to go play on the other side of the rainbow bridge. We miss him dearly but it was a beautiful sunset that night, and I’m sure he will be waiting for us at the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Love,

P.S. Mr. Jenkins came to us from the Shih-tzu and Furbaby Rescue League. They are beautiful people who run this organization. We sponsored 10 dogs in Mr. Jenkins name. If any of you ever need another furbaby, consider rescuing one of these little ones in need: www.shihtzuandfurbabyrescue.com
