"Deer velvet antler has a number of therapeutic applications for animal treatment, including applications as a tonic and food additive and especially as a therapeutic for numerous muscular-skeletal conditions. Therapeutic response to velvet treatment has been very good."

"I’ve had good success in derm cases that look really Blood deficient from a TCM point of view... I’ve had a few very young animals recovering from generalized demodecosis, or with poor fur regrowth do well also. In addition to its immune support benefits, I wonder if it’s restoring more normal barrier function in these guys. With the mobility cases, I again seem to be finding spectacular success with most Jing deficient/Blood deficient/Yin deficient groups. To me, it seems to create a lot more elasticity and “forgiveness” in connective tissue. I’ve got some chondrodysplastic disk dogs running on it as a preventive against further issues..."

"The Wylie Veterinary Centre is a small animal hospital in Essex. We see a good number of patients suffering from degenerative joint disease either secondary to cruciate disease or other orthopaedic problems, but also just due to obesity and wear and tear. We have a fully qualified physiotherapist who works from our practice with these patients as well as a travelling orthopaedic specialist surgeon. Our practice has been using Deer velvet antler for 7 years as our primary chondroprotective agent with very positive results. The veterinary market had become flooded by chondroprotective agents in the last 5-10 years, but despite stiff competition this product has held its own in the market. It is reasonably priced, easy to administer, well tolerated and seems to offer most patients relief from joint discomfort. A good number of my clients have enquired about the option of an equivalent human product when they have seen the benefits in their pet. Personally, I no longer use alternative chrondro protectives."

"My commitment to the value of holistic veterinary care for over thirty years, has led me to research the benefit of natural therapies as a beneficial alternative to drug therapy for many clinical conditions that I see in everyday practice. In the past few years, I have discovered that deer velvet is valuable for treating a myriad of illnesses. This remarkable product, particularly when combined with apparent synergists, such as green lipped mussel, thymus, colostrum and others, has helped animals to balance their immune system, recover from joint problems, restore normal skin function, enhance red blood cell production and improve reproductive activity. Research suggests that it can also benefit those suffering from cardiovascular disease and those recuperating from surgery. We are in serious consideration of how we can incorporate these therapies into a wellness protocol. Think of what we could do, if we improved regenerative capacity and decreased inflammatory conditions in our patients, while they were young! I hope my book can help you understand how important velvet antler can be to the health of your patients and that you will incorporate it as part of your holistic modalities."

"An uncontrolled trial on dogs with arthritis was carried out using placebos and Deer Velvet Antler and I found a positive response in 84%of the Deer Velvet group and no response in the placebo group. The Deer Velvet Antler supplement appeared to increase the activity levels of all dogs, some of them exhibiting behaviours of their youth such as ball catching jumping into the car etc."

"I have been using New Zealand Deer Velvet for years, and there is no other deer velvet product I trust more. Penta Genesis has been especially beneficial for my older patients—both mentally and physically. The New Zealand Deer Velvet Dog product is my go-to product for any dog in need of joint support. The response is consistently positive, and I’m confident that it's supporting not just their joints, but their entire well-being. I also want to highlight how wonderful it has been working with Barry. He is always professional, well-organized, and communicates clearly. The product is delivered promptly and reliably every time. I truly appreciate the quality of both the product and the service"

"I met Barry at the AHVMA conference last year and was very impressed with the attention to quality and purity of his products. Most commercial supplements these days have synthetic ingredients such as flavors, colors, preservatives and stabilizers. These are all chemicals that I do not consider healthy for either pets or humans. I immediately started taking his products myself and using them for my patients. They are now my number one joint supplement recommendation and we are finding it hard to keep them on the shelf as clients continue to order refills. I am thrilled to have found a company that keeps to its principles and produces products with true quality and integrity"

"I love these products! As a feline practitioner, it is such an advantage to treat osteoarthritis with the Feline Deer Velvet because it is so well accepted. I smile every time another client calls it their cat's "cookies" and tells me how they use it as a treat. My own dog, a stocky pittie, just fully recovered from a cruciate rupture, without surgery, with PT and double dosing of the Canine Deer Velvet. She is completely sound and does not have a buttress; I attribute a significant part of her healing to the deer velvet with its stem cell potential. We often use the Hemogenesis for dwindling kittens with borderline or low hematocrits and the Pentagenesis for our oldsters who are confused or can't sleep well. You can count on Barry to be prompt and attentive. I also trust Dr. Broadfoot's insightful formulations of these supplements."

"As both a pet owner and veterinary professional, I cannot say enough good things about the products from this company. My 13-year-old Labrador has been dealing with anaemia due to chronic renal insufficiency. Since starting Hemo Genesis, her values have returned to normal, which has been incredible to witness. We've also been using Deer Velvet since she first began showing signs of arthritis. It has made such a noticeable difference in her mobility and comfort that we were able to delay the use of NSAIDs for over 5 years, something critical for preserving her kidney health. This company produces high-quality, effective, and natural supplements that have truly made a difference in my dog's quality of life. We recommend these products regularly to our patients, and even have clients asking if they can purchase Deer Velvet for themselves! Thank you for your dedication to such wonderful, life-changing products"

"I have been using NZ deer antler products for many years now and I have found them all to be helpful. I think my two favourite as of the moment are the deer antler velvet oral spray and Pentagenesis. Recently I had a family with two dogs with very dirty teeth and painful mouths, and until they could get the teeth done, they used the oral spray. When it came time to do the dental both dogs were very comfortable. I find most dogs tolerated well and if it's used appropriately, I think can really help with tartar and periodontal disease. Recently, I have been stocking Pentagenesis as one of my technicians has been using it on her cats. They are all elderly and it seems to be helping them in many ways and happily they love it .Now that I know it is such a cat endorsed product, I have been recommending it for others including my own cats. I also take the human product and use the oral spray for myself. It's a nice mouth refresher.
The folks at New Zealand Deer antler velvet products are also great people to work with and often when I order products I get all kinds of great information from them as well. I hope this information helps other folks."
