I ordered your greyhound corn treatment and received it the following week. I did the 40 minute treatment twice a day and I took my boy back to the vet on Weds (Feb 10) and the vet said his feet look great! His corns are gone and to start weaning him off the boots until his new soft pads toughen up! Thank you so much for making and selling that treatment! Graham and I are forever grateful! I told the vet about you guys and they were amazed at how fast your treatment worked!

We started using Murray Avenue corn cream on Sept 29th 2011 and on Nov 8th 2011 his corn is completely gone. We are happy to report that Goodman no longer hops or limps on walks.

                                                                                                                                Just wanted to let you know how Ivory is doing.  Although the corns are still there, they are much smaller and Ivory is much more comfortable.  Her left front paw was the most painful, but after a month of treatment with the hyaluronic acid serum and corn cream, she stands square on all four feet and no longer limps on, or favors, her left front paw.  Her gait is no longer stilted and stiff, but looks "normal."  The kernel of each corn occasionally "peels" off, but not like in the video.  It seems in Ivory's case, the corn "wears out" from the outside in.  The two corns on her hind feet are more stubborn than the front when it comes to "de-kerneling" and decreasing in size, however, the corns on her hind feet do not seem to bother her as much.  I am now able to take her for a walk without the Therapaws.  Even though we had the Therapaws adjusted to fit Ivory better, they irritate the bones in her legs, so I'm glad she can walk comfortably without them.
                                                                                                                                Hopefully in another month, the corns will be gone!

I ordered and used the two products for several months as I was not able to do it twice a day every day so it took longer but it did work. He had 9 corns some very large, and the products just drew them out over time and they must have fallen out while he was outside running in the yard. There is no spot or hole left, it is quite amazing to me. Thank you for this cure, I was so distressed having them hulled every other month! All greyhound owners should know about about this not to mention the vets!

                                                                                                                                K.W.-Sterling Heights, MI (4/2/1)

                                                                                                                                I've had Kizzy for almost 8 years, and I can't imagine having a better dog. Since day one, he's been my constant companion, we've been active in Meet & Greets and ARF Playdates. I walked him daily, we visited friends, we even hiked together. Mr. Kizmitti had always been in perfect health, and other than having half a dozen surgeries for torn webbing between his toes, and the usual teeth cleaning, he pretty much managed to stay out of the vet's office. A little over a year ago, he began limping. With much concern (please don't let it be cancer, please don't let it be cancer), I brought him to our vet (Dr. Bjork), who examined him, took an x-ray, and didn't find anything. Kizzy's limping became worse, so back to Dr. B we went. This time, the diagnosis was Corns. I had once thought Greyhound Corns to be trivial, but I quickly learned they are not. What began as 1 Corn on 1 paw, escalated within months to 2 Corns on 2 paws; both front paws were involved. Poor Kizz was miserable. He could no longer go on walks, his feet hurt too much. I tried TheraPaws, he wouldn't wear them. Let me tell you, I'm no softy, I've worked with dogs all my life, and Kizzy would not wear the booties. My former food hound lost his appetite, and began growling at everybody. He no longer played, and because he had no traction in front, he began falling off our deck and was unable to get in/out of the car. For several months, I'd been having his corns hulled every 3 weeks, and that almost didn't help at all, and they grew right back. Dr. B said they were the worst corns he'd seen, because Kizzy had so many and they came back so quickly. I did tons of research, and there was no cure for Greyhound corns. None. I couldn't just give up, so I tried various home remedies, none of which offered any relief. My beloved Kizzy grew even worse, he was a cripple, and the joyful life he'd once had was gone. I talked to Dr. B about our options, each of which were very surgically invasive, painful, and required a long recuperation period with no guarantee the Corns wouldn't come back, or that he wouldn't get more. Kizzy is 10, I figure he has 2 or 3 really good years left, and I didn't want him to spend a good part of that recuperating from major surgery. I began to think that I would have to put my beloved Kizzy down. He had no quality of life, but it was tragic that other than the corns, he was perfectly healthy. My heart was heavy with the thought of having to make that decision. The worst time was when I brought Kizzer in for his regular 3-week hulling, and we found a new Corn on a new foot. The left hind foot. Now my Kizzy had both front paws and a hind paw involved, with no end in sight. I was in tears when I left the office, all I could think was about was that my boy was doomed.

                                                                                                                                Later that day, I was in a client's back yard throwing a ball for her Border Collie, and my phone rang. It was Stu, and because I was crying when I answered it, I could hardly hear Stu when he shouted that "someone in Pennsylvania has invented a cure for Greyhound Corns". I kept saying "what what"? When I finally understood what he was saying, it was so unbelievable to me, that my boy, my long time friend and companion, might have a 2nd chance! Thank you greatly to Chris Terry for finding out about this incredibly revolutionary product, and passing it on to Stu. Here's the story: A woman who owns a Rescued Greyhound who had Corns, walked into a compounding pharmacy in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to see if they could come up with something to help her dogs' corns. The Pharmacist, who is the nicest woman and loves her job, did a little research, and developed a 2 step treatment that is safe, non-toxic, and non-invasive. According to Susan Merenstein, the Pharmacist who developed it, this treatment has a 74-79% cure rate. The amount of time it takes to work depends on how long they've had them/how severe your Greyhounds' Corns are. The range so far is from under a week, to more than 4 months. I am ecstatically happy to report that, 13 weeks after starting this treatment, Kizzy's Corns are almost cured! The treatment is a 2 step process, and must be done twice daily. It takes about 50 minutes each time, and you must do it religiously, otherwise it won't work. In the 1st step, you soak the afflicted paw in a mixture of olive oil and water for 20 minutes. As an alternative, you can use a lubricant the developing pharmacy carries. After trying the olive oil/water with Kizzy once, I quickly decided this was not going to work for us. It was really messy! I ordered the lubricant, and I was much happier. You put the lubricant on the Corn(s), put that paw in a plastic bag, put a bootie over that, and keep those on for 20 minutes. Then, you remove those, massage their "Corn and Callous Cream" into the Corn until it changes color from white to clear-ish, then bag/bootie again for another 20 minutes, and you're done with that treatment. The treatment works by drawing out the Corn, then going up into the stem and killing the virus that causes it. Once the Corn is gone, you begin "maintenance", which is between 1-5 treatments a week for life. Kizzy began the treatments with 6 corns on 3 feet. He gained 2 corns, and lost 3. He still has 5 left, but those are shrinking fast. It may not sound like he's almost cured, but at 13 weeks, Kizzy no longer limps. His appetite has returned, we're taking him for short walks, and the best part is, he's enjoying life again! He's happy and animated, he's once again playing with his squeaky toys and he's back to spinning! At playdates, he trots around greeting people and checking out the other greys, instead of laying down and grouching at the dogs who get too close. He's back to feeling like his old self, and although I believe eventually all his Corns will fall out, even if they never get any better than this, I got my dog back. He feels great and that's our success!

                                                                                                                                Susan, the inventor of this treatment, is in talks with a Vet at Iowa University to develop real clinical trials for this, and hopefully one day, Greyhounds all over the world will have her to thank for curing their painful Corns. I highly recommend this product and am happy to answer any questions.

                                                                                                                                Echo's Owner (S.A.)-Toronto, CA

                                                                                                                                After purchasing the cream and after only 3 days of treatment the corns are already coming out. I'm so excited that this is working. I took pictures and if you would like to see them I will send them. I have to say though the soaking of the corns is the hard part. She has 2 corns one on each foot of her back legs and she's not a happy camper when I come with the water. Last night I was able to pull a lot of the big corn out and a small portion of the big one. Amazing is all I can say. Hopefully soon Lizzy will no longer be limping and can enjoy running again. I'm sending a copy of this to our local greyhound rescue group so they can pass the  word on.

                                                                                                                                I think things are going good with the corn. I got a piece of it out yesterday and for the first time it seems like I got more of it out. there is actually a hole in her foot where the corn was. Yay! she is using the foot more when she runs and she does not tremble when i hold her foot to look at it now and inspect it. That is the most significant change because i have hulled it before but it still seemed to hurt. i also think the area of her pad that is calloused is smaller now in 4 days.

                                                                                                                                Joy

                                                                                                                                I have been using the cream I bought for my greyhound's corn.  It looks like it is "popping" up and out on his pad.  It's not quite to the point where I can grab it with my fingers, but it's definitely popping out.  Admittedly, I have missed a day here and there, and usually only can get it on his foot once a day.  I did use the olive oil in water to soak his foot in for the first solid week.  He got real tired of that, though!

After treating for 4 weeks, the corn had been drawn out so far, that the vet was able to pull/hull it out. The vet said the area looked very good, and the tissue was very soft and healthy underneath where the corn used to be. The dog had another, smaller corn on a different foot, and it has decreased in size and he is not limping anymore.

After 4 weeks of treatment with our Greyhound Corn Cream, the corn was gone! The owner saw no signs of remnants and the pad was very smooth. Best of all, the dog was not limping!

                                                                                                                                Unknown

They started using the cream on both locations twice daily, and after 4 weeks, the corn they knew of had emerged from the pad, and was sticking out so far that the owner could easily remove it. Turns out there was a corn on the other pad, although it wasn't visible. The Corn Cream "pulled it right out".

                                                                                                                                Unknown

Treated the corn, which first appeared in February, twice daily for two day, then just once a day. After only 5 days, the corn is already raising out of the surface of the pad!
