My story is long, and may not yet be over, but so far I am impressed with this product and felt compelled to tell my story. We brought our new puppy (Finley) home a year ago March, not knowing he came with Giardia:( Within a week, I noticed he was going up to 6 times a day, and at night in the crate. Every morning he would be covered in it and I knew something had to be wrong. The vet diagnosed him with Giardia and put him on Panacur, Flagyl and a probiotic. Within a few weeks our 1 year old dog (Theo) had also contracted it, so back to the vet we went. The one year old cleared up and has NOT had Giardia since, but Finley has had a total of only about 3 weeks "Giardia free" in the last year. We have switched vets. (we wanted a vet closer to home because of the frequent visits!) The new vet also ran more extensive (and expensive!) tests to be sure there was no other parasite (cryptosporidia) present to complicate the treatment. The new vet has also contacted Purdue Veterinary school for any further or new treatment options. It has been an entire year of spending money, time and frustration on my dogs poop! (But let me tell you, he's the CUTEST DOG EVER so he's worth it!) I also need to point out that we live on several acres, so keeping the yard "clean" is virtually impossible since Ive been told Giardia is present in almost every animals feces- we have deer, geese, rabbits and even fox roaming our yard, and water-we have a pond. We bath him frequently and wipe his butt with baby wipes when he comes in and thats about all we can do without landing ourselves in a psych ward! About 3 weeks ago, after being told for only the 2nd time in a year that Fin was Giardia free, he began showing symptoms again within a week. I was DEVASTATED! I began googling "chronic Giardia in dogs"(which I have done before, but this time I was determined to find a different answer!) I came across a veterinary blog which suggested that being on Flagyl for extended periods of time was NOT good for the animal and could have many side effects, and that the digestive systems of these dogs would benefit from a respite from these meds. I have had him on a probiotic for many months during his treatment and continued with this after he tested Giardia free, but I read the digestive system in these dogs can be so out of balance from being on an antibiotic for such an extended period of time that the med may not even be able to work with their messed up systems. At that point I was so disappointed that I hadn't realized I may be harming him worse by giving him this antibiotic, and was thinking of just letting his system "recover" for a few months as long as his stools didn't get dangerously frequent/runny or bloody. Then I came across the website for a ranch that sells Kochi free. I began reading fantastic reviews about this product and googled the product further and every site that had it had great reviews. I thought I have nothing to lose, but didn't want to get my hopes up after a year of disappointments. I ended up ordering it from Amazon when I found it here because of the free shipping and quick delivery. (yay amazon!) Finley finished his first 10 day treatment of Kochi free about a week ago. He had SOLID poo's the whole time he was on Kochi, was going on schedule and had no accidents in the house...this was my MIRACLE!!! However, with in the last 2 days, he went on a poo pad in his "bedroom" at night so I am pretty sure its NOT gone. I just got off the phone with a rep from Amber Technologies who told me to keep him on it for 6 weeks. He said Giardia is the most difficult parasite to rid from the body (which I also have been told from my vet) and that after the 6 weeks/4 times a day dose, to give him just one dose a day to keep the parasite away! SO, I will check back in a few months to update as this parasite has dominated the last year of my life and if I can find something to obliterate it, I will want to shout it from a rooftop and let everyone know! If it works, I will also be sharing this product with my vet! He had told me he has several dogs in both of his offices that have Giardia that won't respond to treatment. This parasite has mutated and become resistant to standard treatments and is very hardy. I PRAY this works and will be sure to give an update either way!

They work pretty good for my dog

My 4 y/o German Shepherd was diagnosed with coccidia in November after a bout of bloody vomiting and diarrhea. We did a protocol of albon and metronidazole for 10 days followed with a 3 day course of panacur-C. She was also put on omeprazole and Pepcid for burping and acid reflux. She seemed better for a few days then her stool was back to being as formed as half-baked chocolate cake and really stinky/mucus-y.Then, and much to my horror, it got worse even though multiple trips to the vet for stool checks showed no parasites (via fecal float). My vet had me give her Imodium and the rx RC Fiber response diet - if that didn’t work he suggested an ultrasound which I did not want to do at all. It seemed to help for a few days until her stool was so nasty I panicked and took her to the emergency vet who suspected she had giardia based on her stool, coat condition and other symptoms. She was put back on another 10 day round of metro along with a probiotic. The ER vet also shared that giardia is very difficult to diagnose via fecal float and just because it’s not showing up doesn’t mean it’s not there.Doggo was ok for a week or so but then the stool wasn’t great again: formed but soft, greenish color, mucus-y and sometimes very stinky. I took her to a holistic vet who did another stool check (nothing) and put her on rx clay. The clay did help, but if I didn’t give it to her the stool was back to gross.At my wits end and beside myselffor my girl’s health I started scouring websites and forums looking for any other alternatives since modern medicine wasn’t helping. I came across a recommendation to try Kochi Free and I figured why the heck not?After being on it for 2 days her stool was the best it’s looked in over 2 months. She’s been on it now for 5 days and doing great. She’s also completely off the Pepcid which makes me so happy. I found the Kochi protocol of 10 days on, 10 off, then back on for 10 which is what I’m doing. I also added something called MSM which is supposed to be a great addition.After reading so much about giardia and what a total PITA it is and how many other pet parents have gone through the same mess we’ve been through, I’m so relieved to have found something that seems to be really working and it’s natural!! Hopefully others who might be in similar situation read this (long and maybe gross at times) review and find it helpful for them.
