We love hearing how our products are supporting pets throughout the UK. Here is Holly’s story.
Back in September 2021, Holly had her Kennel Cough vaccine & the vet checked her over with no apparent problems. But from Late October we noticed that she seemed to be struggling to see things in poor light.
In December 2021, Holly had her annual booster injections, so we asked the vet to check her eyesight. The vet diagnosed her as having cataracts, which she said wouldn’t be a problem for Holly and that she wouldn’t recommend any treatment for her. Holly’s sight didn’t seem to deteriorate much over the next few months but in March 2022 after a weekend of playing with young grandchildren & a lot of running about with their dogs, she woke up the next morning and couldn’t see where she was going, got stuck in the corner and was very distressed.
We took her to the vet that morning where a different vet referred her to the Eye-Vet clinic near Runcorn. They did some tests and diagnosed Holly with Progressive Retinal Atrophy, possibly the sudden-onset type. They said Holly has no sight left in her Right eye, but some in her Left eye – she can detect shapes/shadows & movement a few yards away, particularly in strong light. The Clinic said that if she had been referred earlier they could have tried giving her anti-oxidants to slow the deterioration, but that there was no cure.
Having read up online, we managed to buy some Ocuglo to try and preserve what sight she had left as long as possible, to help her adjust to her new circumstances. These seemed to have some beneficial effect, she seemed a bit happier although she didn’t move about as much as before.
But we had difficulties obtaining supplies, importing from the USA, so in August 2022 we did further research for alternative products made in the UK. We came across Broadreach Nature online and ordered some Vision Berry capsules on 11th September. Almost immediately we noticed that she was livelier and moving around more. There also seemed to be some slight improvement in detecting movement. Over the next few weeks she carried on improving, she was following us around like she used to, going up and down stairs and jumping on the bed with more confidence. Her vision seems a bit better in bright light, noticing obstructions and closed doors better than before. Most days are good, but she seems worse after running about and playing a lot the previous day.
She prefers the Vision Berry in powder form rather than capsules which she tends to spit out. The powder is easy to administer, as the tub comes with it’s own measuring scoop. Holly was in Kennels for 12 days, with a supply of capsules for convenience while we were on holiday. She missed a few doses & did a lot of running and playing with her doggy friends, so she was noticeably worse when we got back. She is now back on the powder which we have increased to 3 scoops a day for the moment – she weighs approx 35Kg. She soon improved back to where she was before our holiday and she is very lively & happy.
We are very pleased with the results of using your product and seeing Holly so happy again.
