Testimonials

I recently purchased your product for my 7 month old St. Bernard/Husky who has to deal with the salt and yuck on the downtown streets of Ottawa, ON.  I am so PLEASED with your product!  It is easy to put on (I have heard horror stories about getting booties on dogs), the dog likes the feeling, and he is no longer getting sore paws and snow balls on our walks.  
I am also looking forward to trying it out in the summer to help Finny with the hot pavement.  
Thank you for making a quality product.  I also appreciate the smell, how it doesn't stain my carpet and its easy to get off my hands.  
Have a great day.

Hi!
"I wanted to thank you for developing such an outstanding product. My beagle Lucy was adopted from a high-kill Kentucky shelter and transported to chilly, snowy Buffalo, NY. When it started snowing it was apparent she was incredibly sensitive to salt for de-icing, as she had probably never encountered it before. I live in a large apartment complex so they won't use dog-safe salt.
I agonized about what to do with her. If she even stepped on a crystal of salt she would whimper and shiver in pain and I'd have to carry her home and wash her feet out in the tub. I couldn't find a decent pair of boots that didn't take 15 minutes to put on her. I had no idea what to do!
Then I looked online and found your product. Only one dealer in my immediate area sold Musher's Secret in stores. I raced over, bought the small jar, and put it on Lucy as soon as I got home. I took her outside and I couldn't believe the difference it made! She hadn't been so happy to be outside in weeks. She was wiggling with joy, romping over snow and ice and even the salt, though I tried to get her to avoid it-- she didn't care! Now we can go on long walks like we used to in the warm weather.

Why is this a secret!? This is a must-have for any dog guardian. I'll be using it year-round!"

Thank you so much,
Adrienne and Lucy

"We received your donation of Musher's Secret for our charity raffle. Thank you so much for being so generous. With these several cans of Musher's Secret, we will be able to use them in several different raffles with all proceeds going to Chase Away Canine Cancer and our local pet rescue group.
You have a super product that I recommend to people all the time. As a matter of fact, I just bought another can to use on our dogs' paw pads for their next dock diving event. It's going to be on an asphalt parking lot in August. Can you say HOT? Even though the pool and crating areas will be covered, they still have to walk around from place to place. But I know putting Musher's Secret on their pads will help prevent any burn they might get walking around on the asphalt.
Again, thanks for your help." Nancy

"Hello!
I just wanted to write you and let you know your product has worked miracles for my dog.
We just moved from Texas to Boston, and experienced our first snow. My dog loves to walk, she looks forward to at least two miles a day. After the snow, she could no longer walk even half a block before limping, crying, and giving up.
She has hairy paws, and it appears the snow was balling up almost immediately, and making it very painful to walk. She was getting cabin fever, very heartbreaking that she had to stop doing the only thing that makes her happy.
I got boots, but they were worthless. She refused to walk in them, and they didn't stay on anyway.
Someone told me about Musher's Secret today. I immediately went to the only store in the area that had it, and picked up a tub.
I put it on, took a deep breath, and took her outside. I was absolutely shocked to see that she had zero problems! She was so happy to be out walking again. She made it the full two miles, over salt, sand, snow and ice, and never even hesitated.
I cannot believe this one little product saved our sanity by preventing the pain and discomfort. Thank you so much for making such an excellent product! It is a must for dogs in the winter."
Sincerely,
Jools and Mogwai

"I want you to know I have never written a letter endorsing a product until now.  I have an English Bull Terrier. The way her legs are constructed makes it very hard to keep boots on without nearly cutting off the circulation in her legs.  She’s quite a snow romper, and within seconds (less than 10 feet into the walk) her nail beds and pads would be bloody messes.  I figured using Musher’s Secret was worth a try and it’s a miracle.  Her normal walk circuit is a mile in a snowy meadow, where she runs like a demon with her best German Shepherd pal.  Since using MS there has not been one drop of blood, nail bed irritation or cut pad.  It’s simply amazing.  We have now recommended it to two other dog owners who have reported similar results."  
Thanks for making a great product!  Cathy

Hi,
I am about to start my third year as a veterinary student at the University of Illinois.  I just wanted to say that I think your product is fantastic!  I originally bought it for my Bearded Collie, Frankie, since we enjoy taking long walks in the winter, but he didn't enjoy the salt burn or snowballing.  I noticed it had a soothing effect on his feet and would use it if he had any hotspots elsewhere on his body.  It worked well for that too!  I've recommended your product to several of my friends. One of the dogs I recommended it for was my friend's Beagle-Lab mix.   Shadow is about 13 years ol d, and has an inoperable mast cell tumor on his front foot.  He kept biting and chewing on it and it was becoming impossible to keep him from bothering his foot last winter.  Shadow was bleeding and at risk for secondary bacterial infections.  I recommended Musher's Secret--and his foot was able to heal.  He no longer has a cracked, bleeding tumor, and his family doesn't have to worry about him being at risk for infections.  My friend's mom said it saved his life; they were worried that they would have to euthanize Shadow because of the bleeding and infections.  It's six months later and Shadow is doing fine--as long as he has his Musher's Secret applied weekly.  He still does have the tumor, but his quality of life for the time he has left has improved.  I'm so happy it extended this dog's time with his family.  I love this product, and I will definitely be recommending it to my clients and have it available at my office when I am a veterinarian.

I am a long time user of Musher's Secret...on my dogs.
Several of my afghan hounds have benefited from your product, but recently I found another use for it.
My son, a very active boy, had been trying to break in some new skates and they were REALLY beating him up.
Blisters and bleeding on the bony protuberances of his ankles were effectively hobbling the poor kid...and TRYOUTS were just around the corner. Well, as luck would have it, I was applying your product to my two year old affie, as my son was getting ready for a double session workout, and he was looking really down. I told him to hold up for a minute, pulled back his gear and greased him up right over the painful areas. He skated for TWO HOURS of hard drilling, and came off the ice without a limp. It has since healed up the injured areas and given him back his game. The coaches were stunned (they'd seen the ankles before treatment) and I have relinquished a couple of the 60g jars to grateful smiles. I think you have half a dozen new customers and we WILL be getting the word out. Nothing short of MIRACULOUS!!
Thank you AGAIN!

I just wanted to thank you so much for your Musher’s Secret paw protection. My poor terrier mix was limping and hopping even during very short outings this brutal New York City winter, and sometimes I had to carry him home. A friend recommended Musher’s, and although the tub cost $30, I bought it and tried it immediately: wow! Freddie is now a happy, mobile dog again outside on snow, ice, and salt. Unbelievable! I am really grateful: thank you!
