I'd like to welcome Joe greatly. He 17 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,159 is the CEO and co founder of Pet's Best Life 18 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,879 and he has a fascinating story to tell you about 19 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,200 himself and you're not gonna believe what he invented. It's amazing. 20 00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:45,760 Welcome Joe, Welcome to Best Bets for Pets. 21 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,719 Speaker 5: Well, thank you, thank you for having me very much. Michelle. 22 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,719 It's a pleasure and honor to be on your program. 23 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you so much. So tell us a little 24 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,239 bit about yourself, because you invented something that just about 25 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,560 every pet parent has heard of. 26 00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 5: Well, that's right. I was very fortunate. I actually grew 27 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,400 up on a small farm here in Missouri, so I 28 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,960 started taking care of animals before I started going to school. 29 00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:14,159 And so along the way I got introduced to many animals, 30 00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:18,639 fed many animals, earned three degrees from colleges of agriculture 31 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,800 across the country, basically, and then I worked for the 32 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,560 federal government for eighteen years. I don't learn very fast. 33 00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:30,039 It took me that long to learn enough to get 34 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,240 out and do some things on my own. And so 35 00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:36,960 in nineteen ninety six, we have two sons, my wife 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,120 and I. We've now been married almost fifty two years. 37 00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,439 It will be fifty two within less than a mine. 38 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,879 And so we had these two samoid dogs. Our two 39 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:52,039 sons each had one absolutely gorgeous dogs, very very good dog. 40 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:58,000 But they had one big problem called halatosis or bad bread. 41 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,240 And so this went on for quite a while, and 42 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,360 they were really bad. They would make people leave the 43 00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:06,599 deck of our house if they were visited, and the 44 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,240 dogs came up. So my wife got this idea that 45 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:13,759 since I had been managing research for eighteen years for 46 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,960 the federal government, that you know, virtually by the staff 47 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,759 of my fingers, I could solve this problem. Well, I 48 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960 had no idea how to solve the problem, or so 49 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,240 I thought. It turned out that I got some really 50 00:03:24,319 --> 00:03:28,080 good help from our dentist. He did some research for 51 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,560 me at the dental library and gave it to me, 52 00:03:30,599 --> 00:03:32,919 and I went through that picked out a few things 53 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,240 that that looked like they'd possibly be helpful, and a 54 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,680 couple of things that I knew from my background and 55 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:42,120 the egging community, and we put that together and I 56 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:44,639 started giving it to the two dogs, and I learned 57 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,919 really quickly, like the first day, that I could start 58 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,000 a fight on demand. All I had to do was 59 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,280 put one bowl out and the fight was on. So 60 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:55,919 I didn't do that anymore. I gave him two bulls. 61 00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,360 And so we're going along here, and I'm really doing 62 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,719 this trying to make sure I get my wife settled 63 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,800 down and get some things, and more interest in doing 64 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000 that actually than thinking that I was going to solve 65 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,800 a problem. But about two weeks later, maybe a little 66 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:14,280 less Judy came to me one morning. She said, you 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,639 know how much better Ivan's breath is? And I said, well, no, 68 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,959 not really. So I went over to the door and 69 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,399 called the dogs that They came running up, and I 70 00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,079 gave them some the material that I'd put together, and 71 00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,480 my gosh, smelled their breath and we had them about 72 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,199 seventy five percent cleaned up. And so we took that 73 00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:38,639 and started running with it. And about that time, the 74 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,600 federal government called and said we had to move back 75 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:45,040 to Washington, DC area, and I had not a real 76 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,319 good idea, probably to tell me I have to do something, 77 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,639 so I actually fired Uncle Sam in response, and we 78 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,439 had nothing. We just had this crazy idea about this Petrie, 79 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,920 and we went off and did our best with it, 80 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,720 got a board certific but Mary nutritionists to look at 81 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,600 it and help us with it a little bit, and 82 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,600 we started off. And we went three years without any income, 83 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,879 which isn't exactly ideal. But all of a sudden it 84 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,600 started taking off like crazy, and we went to a 85 00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,240 trade show in Long Beach. I think it was a 86 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:23,000 predecessor to super Zup, but I'm not positive. And we 87 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,519 went there with a goal that we wanted to come 88 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,160 back with fifty thousand dollars for US orders. That was 89 00:05:28,199 --> 00:05:31,639 two months of production capacity for us. We went out there. 90 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,800 A guy we had helping us wrote to we don't 91 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,439 know how many three four dozen people and told him 92 00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,759 he was working for this little company, had a great product, 93 00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:46,160 they should combined business. That marketing resulted in having people 94 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:49,720 around the ten foot booth on three sides three and 95 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:53,519 fool beat for three days, and we came back with 96 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,680 one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of orders for 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,639 what is known as Greenies. 98 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,959 Speaker 2: Yes, who doesn't know about Greenies? 99 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,079 Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean if you're walking through a PetSmart or 100 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,519 pet Supplies Plus or a pet Co today, you are 101 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,839 going to see greens. I can guarantee that. 102 00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 4: Now. 103 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 5: We sold it in two thousand and six to Mars. 104 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:20,680 We had a tremendous run. Everything this kind of went 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,959 right for us during that period practically, and we had 106 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,879 a five year stretch where we grew at seventy percent 107 00:06:28,079 --> 00:06:28,680 per quarter. 108 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: But she didn't stop. 109 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 5: No, no, no, So. 110 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,519 Speaker 2: Your latest invention is longevity fifteen. 111 00:06:37,079 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 5: That is correct. We've had a little interlude that we 112 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,800 also did yummy combs on that, but that's not for now, 113 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,759 but longevity fifteen is very I find very very interesting, Michelle. 114 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,399 This is something that I think people ought to write 115 00:06:55,439 --> 00:06:58,639 down on a little piece of paper and stick it somewhere, 116 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:02,480 because I think you going to see the name of 117 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:07,560 Stephanie VN. Watson. She is a veterinarian and an epidemiologist, 118 00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:10,879 and she worked for the US Navy for a while 119 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:18,040 and was doing research farm and she through her research 120 00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:24,800 came up with a C fifteen molecule that is absolutely amazing. 121 00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:30,279 It now has met the criteria to be an essential 122 00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:33,160 fatty acid. That's the first one in ninety years or 123 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720 since Omega three and sixes came out. And it has 124 00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:41,560 some properties that are really interesting, like three times the 125 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:48,839 benefits cellular benefits as Omega threes. And it's also looking 126 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,079 like it's not fully proven, but looking like that it 127 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:58,839 really is a nutritional deficiency in virtually all mammals, including 128 00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:04,000 humans and dogs. And that work was done on dolphins. 129 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,720 Stephanie has through her work and supplementing the diets of 130 00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:15,480 dolphins as dolphins living about eighty percent No, you didn't 131 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:20,519 tear me wrong, that's eight zero percent. 132 00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: Increase in their lifespan. 133 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,879 Speaker 5: Yes, Wow, and that's why the main longevity fifty. And 134 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,959 she's worked on this project for over twenty years now, 135 00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,639 and just back in March twenty fifth, actually, Simon and 136 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,919 Schuster came out with a book and it is called 137 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,879 The Longevity Nutrient. I wish I could show it to you. 138 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,879 It says the unexpected fat that holds the key to 139 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:49,120 healthy aging, and that healthy aging is basically mammalian wide. 140 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,759 And so there's really some powerful science going on in 141 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,639 this and what's interesting to me. And they have spent 142 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,320 a lot of years at university studying and stuff. But 143 00:09:02,639 --> 00:09:05,480 in these years that she's been working on it, there 144 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:10,799 are forty patents issues and over one hundred peer reviewed 145 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:16,279 papers on the C fifteen molecule, which is the basis 146 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,840 for both a human product and our longevity fifteen for dogs. 147 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,519 Now the human product is called fatty fifteen. You can 148 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,879 find it at fattyfifteen dot com. I've been on it 149 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:31,600 for a year. I have been sleeping much better. My 150 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,320 wife has been on it and she has better stamina. 151 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,919 And we had a sad incident, very sad to me. 152 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,960 I had a very very good Australian shepherd. She was 153 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,919 only four years old. And apparently it came from a 154 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,519 line of dogs that have a gene that allows causes 155 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:58,120 whatever these dogs to get mouth cancer. And I had 156 00:09:58,159 --> 00:09:59,840 to put her down a couple of months ago. With 157 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,480 that dog was amazing. The vet said that last spring 158 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,120 that she thought if Tilly lived until August, that would 159 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,440 probably be about as good as I could expect. I 160 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,159 started giving her a C fifteen and we kept her 161 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,879 until March of this year, so we got about another 162 00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,919 eight or nine months out of the dog. But unfortunately 163 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,120 I don't pay her anymore. So that's kind of the 164 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,679 basis in the background for this. I'll let you take 165 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,840 the lead of where you want to go from here. 166 00:10:30,919 --> 00:10:34,279 Speaker 2: So fatty fifteen. Okay, when I first read this, I'm 167 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,559 not a scientist by any means. First thing I thought 168 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,559 is fatty fifteen. It reminds me of when you're in 169 00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,679 college and you gained the resh of fifteen. So it's 170 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,080 a good way to remember it, you know, faty fifteen. 171 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:48,919 But what does it it helps? I know it helps 172 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,080 for text salls and tissues, and it's good for aging. 173 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,799 How does it do that in a simple way so 174 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:58,360 that all of us that are not scientists can understand. 175 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,039 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't do any the science on this myself. 176 00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:06,240 Doctor Nbatson has done that, and her husband is retired 177 00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,840 from the Navy and he works with her now and 178 00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:12,919 he is a medical doctor, so it's a pretty powerful team. 179 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,600 But you know what it does is it really helps 180 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:25,039 keep the cells membrane around the cell stronger and healthier, 181 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,080 so the cells live longer. And if the cells live longer, 182 00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:33,159 then the animal, be a person's dog or whatever, has 183 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:40,720 the opportunity to also live longer. It's interesting because I 184 00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:45,080 worked primarily when I was with the SDA with oil seeds, 185 00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:50,240 and so mostly oils will go rampted after a time, 186 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,840 but this C fifteen, it's a lipid or an oil 187 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:02,840 type material, does not seem to be susceptible to becoming ransom, 188 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,519 which is what typically happens with oils and joey you 189 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,000 have to stabilize them some. With this, it's actually a 190 00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:14,080 powder and it's very stable on its zone and it's 191 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:22,480 resistant to this it's called lepid peroxidation or ransidity. It 192 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,799 has no smell, basically none of a fishy smell or 193 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,000 anything like that, has virtually no taste, and it's a 194 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,840 white powder, so it has some pretty good physical properties 195 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,399 that are pretty easy to work with. That it has 196 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:44,080 really powerful scientific components that are associated with. 197 00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:46,039 Speaker 2: All right, we're going to take a short break and 198 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,200 we'll be right back. 199 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: Begging to hear more of your favorite show. 200 00:12:52,399 --> 00:12:55,759 Speaker 2: Coolful.

We're talking to Joe Greatly. He is 209 00:13:33,039 --> 00:13:38,000 the CEO and co founder of Longevity fifteen. So we've 210 00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:41,799 talked a lot about the science of how longevity fifteen works. 211 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,559 How do you introduce it to your dog and how 212 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,240 do you decide if your dog needs it? Is it 213 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:52,240 good for elderly dogs, dogs that have ailments, dogs that 214 00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,159 are maybe prone to What about if their breed is 215 00:13:56,279 --> 00:14:00,799 just prone to certain medical issues with long heevity fifteen 216 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,000 help like, for instance, you know shepherds have a lot 217 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000 of hip issues. Spaniels tend to have ear problems. You know, 218 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,080 can it be helpful for something like that? 219 00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 5: We don't have all the answers on that, but the 220 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,240 general answer is for everything that we've tested, we have 221 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,919 gotten good results in terms of longevity, the dog being 222 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,279 able to live longer, and maybe more important to me 223 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,039 is to not just live longer, but live with a 224 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,320 much better quality of whys. 225 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: Okay, so I have a question for you, and I 226 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,639 know you don't have all the answers. Nobody ever does 227 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,799 with science. There's always, you know, other circumstances. Let's take 228 00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,000 boxers for example. So boxers typically don't live a really 229 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,960 long life. They generally have lived about nine years old. 230 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,200 If you had your boxer and started your dog on 231 00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:57,879 longevity fifteen when it was young, could that possibly increase 232 00:14:58,159 --> 00:14:59,240 the dog's lifespan? 233 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,919 Speaker 5: Yes, I think the probability is very good that that 234 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:07,200 would occur. Michelle. We haven't been in long enough to 235 00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:10,480 have every breed test and everything, but from the data 236 00:15:10,559 --> 00:15:13,600 that I have seen, I would feel quite confident in 237 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:17,279 saying that virtually any breed, but the ones that have 238 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,440 shorter lifespans or have particular issues, that this can help. 239 00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,759 It will help in those kind of cases. In the 240 00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,480 vast majority of cases. I am just very impressed by 241 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,080 the molecule and what it does is, as I said 242 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,919 while ago, three times the cellular benefits that omegas have. 243 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,360 And we all know how important omegas are. So it 244 00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:47,559 does that. It just makes the cells stronger, and it 245 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:52,759 kind of helps the bad cells repair themselves, is what 246 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,279 the science is showing. And it allows its cells to 247 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:01,000 be more energized, and that's very important. And two and 248 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:07,480 so this cellular benefit really has the opportunity for long 249 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:11,840 term health improvements in terms of quality. And I believe 250 00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:16,159 in terms of how long a dog can live. And 251 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,639 I know the best example I can give is the 252 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,480 one I was telling you about a while ago, where 253 00:16:22,919 --> 00:16:26,799 our offsie shepherd lived about nine months longer than the 254 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,840 best thought that she would. 255 00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: Well, that's all, he's good news and their dog can 256 00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:35,559 live longer. How do you how should you introduce longevity 257 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,600 fifteen to your dog? How do you dose it? 258 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 5: Okay? Yeah, we basically for when back up a half 259 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,240 a step here, for fatty fifteen for humans, that is 260 00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:52,759 a pure molecule material. There is virtually nothing added to 261 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:55,440 it other than the capsule to hold it. Dogs are 262 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080 a little differently because we've got to figure out how 263 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,399 we make them consume the product. So we put some 264 00:17:02,679 --> 00:17:06,079 good palatability enhancers that make it taste good for the 265 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,400 dog in there so they will eat it. And we 266 00:17:09,519 --> 00:17:12,559 put a little fiber in with it so that we 267 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,880 can share the product. It comes in a little sachet 268 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,640 and we size the sachets for five different weight categories 269 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,240 of dogs, so we can meter this material to the 270 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,440 dog at the rate that the dog needs for the 271 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,519 weight that it is to get the right amount in 272 00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:35,119 there that they can actually do what it's supposed to 273 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,319 do without giving it more than it needs to have. 274 00:17:39,079 --> 00:17:44,720 So metering is very important. Feeding for the right weight 275 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,279 size the dogs is very important too. So that's that's 276 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,640 kind of the way it is. It is a very fine, 277 00:17:54,319 --> 00:17:58,400 almost powdery like material that comes in a little sashet packet, 278 00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:02,119 and we just say feed it at meal time. 279 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 2: At meal time, okay, and when one to day. Is 280 00:18:05,759 --> 00:18:08,039 this something that you should check with your vet? I 281 00:18:08,079 --> 00:18:10,240 know most of the time people will always say check 282 00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:12,559 with your beat because you never know. But or is 283 00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:15,799 this Patty fifteen is so good and so beneficial for 284 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:17,880 your dog that good for all dogs? 285 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 5: I would always say check with your vet. Before you 286 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,880 do virtually anything very good. I would be very confident 287 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,359 to basically say that I don't have any evidence that 288 00:18:29,559 --> 00:18:32,880 is not good for any dog. But I don't have 289 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,039 any factual bass actually to say that, but what I 290 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:39,440 have seen has been very, very positive. 291 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,279 Speaker 2: That's incredible. Tell us a little bit about yummycombs. 292 00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, you get me on my other topic of 293 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,759 great interest. So when we sold Greenies and phil Pockets 294 00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:54,240 to Mars, we have a five year non compete, so 295 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,599 Judie and I couldn't do anything in the pet Aina 296 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:01,640 during that time, and so we were growing so fast that 297 00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:05,400 I had ideas, but I didn't have time to implement them. 298 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960 So after we were able to get back in and 299 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,200 start doing some things in the per Aina, I had 300 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,960 this idea that I wanted a product that would do 301 00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:19,839 three things for dogs that I think are this super important. First, 302 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,759 there is this almost an epidemic level of gum disease 303 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,039 amongst dogs these days. Eighty percent of dogs over the 304 00:19:27,079 --> 00:19:29,759 age of three have some farm of gum disease. If 305 00:19:29,799 --> 00:19:33,799 you calculate that out, that means that we have fifty 306 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,160 four million out of eighty nine point seven million dogs. 307 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,799 They're suffering from gum type diseases. So that's number one. 308 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,839 Second one is there's always dogs that are a doping 309 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,640 and choking or having foul obstructions or something like that. 310 00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,200 I wanted something that would address that and help that issue. 311 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,119 And third, we all know that a lot of dogs 312 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,680 overweight and because that can shorten the dog's life, you know, 313 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,279 two three years, it's because they're overweight and the quality 314 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:13,079 of life. And so I was able to be very blessed, 315 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,720 be honest with you. I was thinking about these things 316 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,440 and how I could put that together in one product. 317 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,200 And I also love dried fruit like apples and peaches 318 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,799 and cherries and things like that. And I have about 319 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,599 eighty trees. And I was out mowing one day and 320 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,279 our dog at the time was running alongside the tractor 321 00:20:32,319 --> 00:20:34,400 with me, and there's a few bees buzzing around my 322 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,200 head and I'm just totally out of the blue sky 323 00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,519 had this brilliant idea that if I would take a 324 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,599 shape that if you would think about a hockey puck 325 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,759 being wide and flat, and then you take that and 326 00:20:47,759 --> 00:20:51,640 make it hexagonal, and then on the top side of 327 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,839 that we put basically cells like in a honeycomb and 328 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,279 the bottom side too, and that allows us to do 329 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,759 many things. There are ten firsts and yummy combs that 330 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:08,759 have never been done before with the dog treat. Probably 331 00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:13,880 the most impressive one from my perspective is we were 332 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:21,279 able to have independent, third party, three board certified dentists 333 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,160 run a study clinical study for us, and we were 334 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,400 able to remove twenty six percent of hardened targer from 335 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,880 dog's teeth. Interesting fact that went along with that. I 336 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,119 was driving to work with one morning. I had the 337 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,920 radio on, but I wasn't really paying much attention. All 338 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,519 of a sudden I heard somebody talking about gum disease. 339 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,559 My eyes or ears perked up, and the gentleman who 340 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,640 was on, I don't know whether he was a vet 341 00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:51,880 or not, but he was obviously in the Pederina said 342 00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:56,279 it's impossible for a treat to ever remove targer from 343 00:21:56,279 --> 00:22:00,279 a dog's teeth. And sixty days later we had proven 344 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,759 that we could actually take off about twenty six percent 345 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,880 of tartar from teeth and that stuff was hardened on 346 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:13,240 the teeth because we just took dogs from our people's 347 00:22:13,279 --> 00:22:15,799 homes and had them bring them in and ran the 348 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,200 tests and things on it. We also got a forty 349 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,839 five percent improvement in fresh breath, and so we've kind 350 00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:26,799 of got that one. Then we went on we've got 351 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:32,720 four innovations in yummy combs that deter the dog from gulping, 352 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,440 and they also helped deter breaking the material down into 353 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,079 soluble material that the dog doesn't get choked on it 354 00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:47,759 that way, So there's four innovations there. Then on the 355 00:22:49,039 --> 00:22:52,480 nutrition side, I would say that we have some of 356 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:58,440 the best nutrition out there today. Easily, we've reversed the 357 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,680 protein to star Tracio, which I think is very important, 358 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,680 twenty fold, so we are delivering forty four percent protein 359 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:10,319 and yummy combs and less than seven percent starch. 360 00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 2: It's that's really exciting, especially since most pet parents will 361 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:19,839 try to brush their dog's teeth, but it's always a challenge. 362 00:23:20,279 --> 00:23:23,759 And I remember back when my doggies are now on 363 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:27,119 doggy Heaven, but prior to that, I remember it was 364 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,200 always a battle. And you know, we did the annual cleanings, 365 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,720 which always made me nervous because they have to be 366 00:23:33,759 --> 00:23:36,359 put under no vets. Are always careful do all the 367 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,799 blood work, but still I don't like to do that. 368 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,319 But it's hard to keep their teeth clean even with 369 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,960 the brushing. And years and years ago before all this 370 00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:49,880 great stuff was invented, I remember using a vet taught 371 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,119 me to use hoofs, and I don't like the idea, 372 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,160 but it cracked my dog's tooth. Then I went to 373 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,119 the doggy dentist. So having yummy combs available for pet 374 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,319 parents is fabulous. 375 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 5: And greenies, yeah, Michelle, I really appreciate you talking about 376 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,359 the broken tooth, because we do something else that I 377 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,480 don't know if anybody else in the head Areena is doing. 378 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:18,720 We actually measure and prescribe the hardness of yummy combs 379 00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:22,200 because we want it hard enough to scrape calculus off 380 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,680 or target, whichever you want to call it. But we 381 00:24:24,799 --> 00:24:27,200 don't want it's so hard that we're going to break peace. 382 00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:30,039 So I have what I call my interstate rule for 383 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,880 that minimum speed minimum hardness is forty five speed limit 384 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,599 upper is seventy and that's a rock wall hardness measure. 385 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,920 It's used in steel all the time, and we measure 386 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,119 it and keep that yummy combs product in that range 387 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,240 so that we can do those things that I haven't 388 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,480 seen anybody else be able to conquer those yet. And 389 00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:55,720 We've been very blessed to be able to come up 390 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,319 with that, and then we do one of the thing 391 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,200 with the U the obstructions. We have an ingredient in there. 392 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,359 We call it slick Them. It's a secret sauce of ours. 393 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:13,359 But it's amazing stuff because with water or saliva wetting 394 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,039 a Yummy Coombs piece, in less than fifteen seconds, it 395 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,319 gets lubricated. Basically, it gets very very slick. And the 396 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,000 natural reaction to a doll with something and it's sloat 397 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,920 is the cough, so it will normally if they're the 398 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,359 peace lodged, it will just come flying out of the 399 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240 mouth or it can slide down into the stomach. But 400 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,400 the gastric uses worked it dissolve it quickly there too, 401 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,160 so in thirty five minutes it's basically a softened and 402 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,400 on its way to dissolving and digesting. 403 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 2: Oh fantastic. Where can people find out more and where 404 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,640 to buy Longevity fifteen and Yummy Coombs. 405 00:25:49,799 --> 00:25:53,839 Speaker 5: They're both on our website petspestlife dot com and it's 406 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,000 available in stores. Yummy Coombs are available Pets Smart Pets 407 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:04,759 Supplies plus Amazon, Chewy, a number of independent pet stores 408 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,119 and Vet clinics, So that's more widely. We're just getting 409 00:26:11,559 --> 00:26:17,960 Longevity launched. It's going into pet smart this fall. It 410 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,359 is on coming on Amazon real soon and on Chewy also, 411 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,200 so we're working that. We have some distributors not only 412 00:26:28,279 --> 00:26:31,680 in the United States, but we have them in Canada also, 413 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,000 and so the best place to get information. I will 414 00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:40,519 actually give people Michelle three things to look at on 415 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,000 this and the fourth one would be the book if 416 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,799 you want to do that, the Longevity nutrients. But if 417 00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:53,279 you go on the website wwwpattyfifteen dot com that is 418 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,720 a commercial site for purchasing Batty fifteen for human use. 419 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:04,519 Then there's another website is discover fifteen dot com that's 420 00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:08,079 the science behind the product. And then we have a 421 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,079 site Longevity fifteen dot com. 422 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: Say you get plenty of information, Okay, I have a 423 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,640 question for you just as we're running. We're running a 424 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,519 little bit out of time, but one quick question. How 425 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,759 long would you like to see dogs live? Because average 426 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,559 is about it varies, but average is about like what 427 00:27:26,799 --> 00:27:30,720 twelve to sixteen? Yes, I mean I would wouldn't mind 428 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,559 my dogs living the same lifetime as myself. I don't 429 00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:36,359 know if that's ever going to happen. But what would 430 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,680 you like to see dogs gain another five years? 431 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 5: At least? If we could get dogs to live another 432 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,599 five years on average, I would be very pleased with 433 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:48,799 the results, because you know, if you think about that, 434 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,880 in dog life, that's about thirty five years of human 435 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,279 life equivalent. So that's that's where I would about five 436 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,359 years would be very good my perspective. I think it 437 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,440 makes a lot of people happy. I love dogs very much. 438 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,720 I am not real fond of cleaning up pee and 439 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:11,640 poop from puppies. I like to play with the puppies, 440 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,480 but I don't like the other end of that, so 441 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,079 having to do it fewer times is attractive to me. 442 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,279 I tell people for many and the years now that 443 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:23,759 the Good Lord willing, I kind of plan to live 444 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,599 to be about one hundred and fifty, and I have 445 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,319 good geens. My wife makes me eat pretty well, and 446 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,880 science is increasing the time we can live very much, 447 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,319 and longevity fifteen is going to be a very very 448 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,440 important part of that. From my perspective, I think over 449 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,960 the next decade or so you're going to hear a 450 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:51,279 great deal about See fifteen. I have been privy to 451 00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:54,079 some of the research that's going on that Stephanie is 452 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,559 doing and seeing the results, and they will shock your 453 00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:59,000 boots right off your body. 454 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,559 Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy to hear that.
