My 6-year-old Weimaraner dog, Lance, has been suffering from painful, recurring interdigital cysts and paw infections since puppyhood. The cysts would well and bleed and cause him chronic discomfort. At times, it felt relentless and impossible to manage, with rounds of antibiotic treatments to help get the infections under control. Interdigital cysts can affect dogs for many reasons, but his cysts are caused by environmental factors. In Florida, pond water is used to irrigate the lawns in our neighborhood - and he’s allergic to it. It’s full of all sorts of harmful bacteria and organisms, but sadly there’s not a lot we can do to see that change.

As a retired veterinary technician, I knew there had to be a better way. I knew there had to be alternative treatments for dogs with skin allergies. A few months back, we were visiting my dog’s chiropractor who specialises in holistic pet health care, and that’s when she started talking about the amazing benefits of
Manuka honey for dogs and natural remedies for dog infections. She explained that she’d often use Manuka honey for dog and pet health, in their diet, or topically on wounds and suggested we give it a try. I didn’t want to give him another harsh round of antibiotic treatments if I didn't have to, so I thought why not? She recommended we try New Zealand Honey Co. Manuka honey, and the rest is history.

I started adding a teaspoon of the UMF™ 10+ Manuka honey to my dog’s morning meal, and he absolutely loved it. And after just two weeks, I could see the difference in his paws. I couldn’t believe it. We’re now two months in, and this simple routine has significantly improved his paw health. His paws are now 80% better, and compared to where we have been it’s an absolute miracle. There are fewer lesions and the bleeding has reduced. He’s always had a bit of a funky stomach too, and since taking the Manuka honey I’ve noticed his stools are a lot firmer so I think it’s helping his gut
as well.

New Zealand Honey Co. Manuka honey has not only improved his quality of life but has brought me peace of mind, knowing he’s happier and healthier. If I can share my story, and help someone then that’s enough for me. My advice to those dealing with similar issues is to give New Zealand Honey Co.’s Manuka honey a try. It’s a non-invasive and natural product, so you have nothing to lose. I’ll continue using the Manuka honey as part of my dog’s routine for as long as he needs it. I have no desire to explore other brands, New Zealand Honey Co. Manuka honey’s efficacy, packaging, and customer service were exceptional, and this reinforces my loyalty. I love the packaging, it's easy to get my spoon in there and it came quickly when I reordered.
