Deepen the Bond With Your Pet


Spending quality time with your beloved pet can be hard to do when you have a busy schedule.  But the benefits are enormous.  It can improve a pet's behavior, be calming for both of you and most of all, strengthen the bond you have together.   The key is to add a meaningful activity to your daily routine.  This can be hard when one is juggling work, family and many responsibilities.  Adding just a few minutes a day to live life together can be good for both of you.  It can be anything--taking your dog along for a ride to the store, cuddling your cat while you talk on the phone, obedience or agility training, or even taking your pet to work with you.  These simple acts can deepen the bond you have with your pet and can bring peace especially during stressful times.  Give it a try!

Rescued Golden Retriever Recovers From Acid Reflux and Yeast Overgrowth


Dakota
"I want to let you know how great Dakota, our golden retriever that we rescued about 6 months ago, is doing.  When we got him, he had bad ear infections that he had for months, and his skin was so black in the armpit and groin areas that we thought it was ground in dirt.  He also had acid reflux and would bring up bile several times a day.  He obviously did not feel well and was in a lot of pain.  It has taken several months, but the blackened skin (from yeast) is almost back to normal thanks to K9 Yeast Defense.  The recommended dose made him extremely itchy so we give him ½ the dose.  It has been a slower but more comfortable process for him that way.  I wish we had taken “before” pictures of his skin because the difference is remarkable.  And, for his acid reflux, we had him on Pepcid initially.  When we first started your supplements (Power Probiotic, K9 Digestive Enzymes, Gastro ULC and Soothing Digestive Relief), we still had to give him the Pepcid, but we’ve been slowly weaning him off the Pepcid.  He had been taking 4 tablets a day at one point, and he is now down to a ½ tablet a day.  And I can’t forget to mention using your food recommendations.  His ears didn’t start to clear up until we got him eating food that he could tolerate.  We had an intolerance test done also and found that he cannot tolerate beef, chicken, lamb or salmon, all grains including rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes.  All of these are commonly used in dog food.  This is why they could not get the ear infections to clear up before we got him.  Thank you so much for your supplements and all your help.  Dakota is a much happier dog thanks to you!"

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month


Do you know the warning signs of cancer?  Early diagnoses is key.  We have found that the best results in cancer patients occur when the pet owner was able to catch the cancer early (using laboratory testing) AND when a combination of both conventional and holistic medicine is used. While holistic veterinary medicine cannot cure cancer, it can make a tremendous difference.  The best way to help prevent cancer is to start at the beginning of your pet’s life, giving them optimal nutrition, vitamins, Omega 3s and building a sound immune system. Click here to learn more about holistic care treatments.












Warning Signs of Cancer In Pets
• Difficulty eating or swallowing
• Abnormal swellings that persist or continue to grow
• Sores that do not heal
• Weight loss and/or loss of appetite
• Pet just not acting like himself, behavior changes
• Bleeding or discharge from any body opening
• Difficulty breathing, urinating or defecating
• Persistent lameness or stiffness
• Hesitance to exercise or loss of stamina

Diabetic Husky With Pancreatitis Improves With Digestive Enzymes

We just received this wonderful report for beautiful Emma, a senior Husky with pancreatitis.

Emma

"We got some great news today...our (almost) 13 y/o diabetic Siberian Husky "daughter" Emma just got a positive report regarding her pancreatitis.  Her levels, which were almost 1,000 are now normal.  I have got to credit your LypoZyme capsules for contributing to this.   Emma is also a "new dog" as far as her activity level is concerned and we can tell that she is feeling good. 
You have a customer as long as we are blessed with Emma as a family member. The picture was taken only last week.

Holistic Supplements Improve Yorkie's Elevated Liver Enzymes

Bailey Rose

"I just wanted to give you an update on my Yorkie Bailey Rose.  Bailey Rose had high ALT levels and an abscess on her liver.  Her last blood work before starting the Pancreatitis and Liver Support Kit showed liver enzymes 4 times what they should be and her WBC was 40,000. She continued on her antibiotics (for a bacterial infection) and started the Kit on Oct 1 as soon as I received it. I took her for her recheck yesterday (a few weeks later) and the vet called today and was amazed that all her levels including WBC were all in normal levels and after losing a pound she has got back to her normal weight!  Even though she is almost 13 she is doing wonderful and acting like a puppy again. I also changed her food to the natural blend fish and sweet potato Ask Ariel suggested and she loves it. Thank you so much for helping me to help my sweet baby.   Cherie  Indiana 2016"

November 1st is National Cook for Your Pet Day

New Cyprus Magazine

Every pet has their specific individual nutritional needs and one diet does not fit all.  For a pet owner it can be very confusing. Should I give a raw diet, commercial canned or dry food, home-cooked, or a combination of any of the above? It is important to work with your veterinarian to determine the best diet for your pet. However, on this national Cook for Your Pet day we thought we would give you a few food ideas that you can incorporate into your pet’s diet for added nutritional benefit. Some items can be “cooked” and others given fresh..try to maintain as much nutritional value as possible (don’t overcook). For more diet tips visit our website Askariel.com.

Foods to consider “cooking” for your pet
  • Steamed Green Beans- or frozen as a treat
  • Zucchini
  • Baby Carrots
  • Chopped Broccoli
  • Baked fish, venison, other lean meats (if pet isn't allergic)
  • Pumpkin- adds fiber to their diet
Note- make sure any item is safe to be consumed by your pet. Certain foods (such as chocolate and onions) can be toxic.  Here is a link to American Kennel Club for toxic foods. Also, make sure you consider any health conditions your pet may have, such as: weight issues, diabetes, kidney disease, pancreatitis and Cushing disease to name a few.  Remember…”You are what you eat" goes for your pet too!
