Teddy's Story

Two weeks to live. He gave us three more years. This is Teddy's story — and why we created Teddy's Turmeric Tamer®.

​

In June 2013, we found a lump the size of a golf ball on the snout of our 100-lb Newfoundland mix, Teddy. One vet visit and a biopsy later, we had our answer: cancer. We were referred immediately to a veterinary oncologist.

​

In the days between that appointment and our first visit with the specialist, Teddy stopped eating. Watching him decline was devastating. So I did what any desperate dog parent would do: I researched everything. I read everything I could find about canine cancer, holistic support, and natural ingredients with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and cancer-fighting properties. Then I started combining them.

​

On July 1, 2013, the oncologist confirmed the diagnosis: sarcoma, a malignant tumor of connective tissue. The tumor was advanced and inoperable. We were told Teddy had two, maybe four weeks to live, and that the kindest thing we could do was keep him comfortable. "Comfortable" meant five medications that left him heavily sedated, with only moderate pain relief.

​

That wasn't good enough for Teddy.

​

He deserved more than a foggy, painful goodbye. So I got to work. I refined the blend of natural ingredients I had been developing and began adding it to his meals every day. What happened next stopped us in our tracks.

​

Teddy started eating again. His reliance on pain medication decreased. His energy came back. His mood lifted. He was Teddy again.

​

That blend became Teddy's Turmeric Tamer®.

​

Instead of two to four weeks, Teddy lived three full, joyful years. He wasn't just surviving; he was tail-wagging, meal-loving, life-enjoying Teddy until the very end.

​

Committed to sharing what we had discovered, we formalized the formula, and Teddy's Turmeric Tamer® is now licensed and registered through the State of Virginia as an animal remedy, in compliance with AAFCO standards. The six-ingredient blend, turmeric, black pepper, omega-3s, ginger, medicinal mushrooms, and cinnamon, supports joint health, digestive health, cardiovascular health, cognitive health, immune health, and more.

​

The testimonials and Google reviews speak for themselves. Dogs dealing with cancer, arthritis, and heart disease. Dogs thrive on it as a daily preventative. All of them with families who, like us, just wanted to do right by their dog.

We hope Teddy's Turmeric Tamer® makes a difference for your dog!
