When Every Step Matters: Terrier’s Story

For Sue, Cell Guard isn’t something new, it’s something she’s trusted for decades.

Her journey with the formula goes all the way back to 1987, when she first began using Super Oxide Dismutase (Cell Guard)  with her working Alaskan Malamutes. As that product evolved into Cell Guard, it became a staple in her kennel. At one point, caring for a full team—including Inuit sled dogs from the Canadian Arctic she was ordering cases at a time. Eventually, after seeing how it fit into their routine, she and her family began using it themselves as well.

Today, Sue’s focus is on Terrier, her fourteen-year-old Inuit sled dog retiree from Clyde River, Nunavut. Terrier once ran over 900 kilometers as part of a traditional Nunavut Quest team, thriving in one of the harshest environments in the world. Now, years later, she’s enjoying retirement—but like many aging dogs, Sue has started to notice small changes in her movement.

“Nothing out of the ordinary,” Sue shared, “but still something I’d like to see improved on.”

That’s what led her back to Cell Guard.

Before getting started, Sue did what she’s always done—she took a closer look. She carefully compared formulations, dosing, and labels to understand exactly how it fit into Terrier’s routine. At the same time, she made the decision to pause other supplements she had relied on for years, simplifying everything down to one approach.

Her experience with similar support in the past is what gave her confidence to try again. She recalls one moment vividly, when a dog named Conan—who had developed an unsteady gait after a lightning strike—was introduced to the same foundational ingredient.

“I recall it was only days before he returned to a normal gait and began jumping on his dog house.”

Now, with Terrier, Sue is hopeful once again. Not because she expects instant change, but because she’s seen what consistent support can look like over time.

“She means the world to us.”

Sue plans to share updates after the first few weeks. Like many who start something new, she’s patient, but optimistic.
