Yorkies Feeling a Lot Better!

I so appreciate your help. Curing my babies' illnesses goes
far beyond veterinary treatment. You have shown me over and over again, that
the correct nutritional diet and advice, is absolutely crucial to maintaining
their good health. Mango's pancreatitis was completely out of control until you
changed her diet. Zsa Zsa, being so tiny, scared us to death with her recent digestive problems. Her vet could treat their symptoms, but could not give me the ultimate solution, which was to restore their appetites and normal digestive function. I love them like children, and it breaks my heart when I feel helpless to cure what ails them. You did that for us, and for this I am truly grateful.

Probiotics Benefit Cat with IBD

Q: I believe my cat has IBD and I was wondering if we should get a biopsy and diagnosis first before trying the probiotic, etc formulas offered on the website? Thanks, Angela

A: Hi Angela, Many cats are diagnosed with "IBD" due to food allergies. The most common food allergies are poultry and grains. Please be sure to watch this brief webinar below about food allergies. Using the Power Probiotic and Soothing Digestive Relief will help your cat to digestive the food. These are natural, healthy vitamins for any pet with or without IBD. You may want to try changing the diet and using these supplements (ideally using the IBD Kit and Colostrum for Pets would be best) and then seeing if your kitty is still in discomfort before proceeding to more invasive procedures.

Sweet William finally has found his "forever" home!

 

Sweet William, a 2 year old purebred boxer finally has found his "forever" home! Ariel Rescue saved his life.

William has had a very hard start in young life and he is only two years old. He was brought to the Orange County Animal Shelter by his owner in October. This is the same owner who previously adopted William from the same shelter, just one year earlier. The owner did not leave a reason why he was turning William into the shelter.

Ariel Rescue found out about William's plight. He needed our help. Two times is two times too many for a dog to have to be at a high-kill shelter. People won't adopt a dog that has been "returned" . William is a wonderful dog with a terrific disposition. We are so happy William has finally found a home at last.

Please consider adopting a pet in need.  You can find pets of all breeds, colors and ages on petfinder.com  Rescue dogs make wonderful pets and are so grateful to you for saving them.  Open your home and heart to a rescue dog in need just like William.

11 Year Old Sheltie With Recurring Bladder Infection

Q: My 11 year old sheltie, Cody, is fully recovered from bladder cancer thanks to Protocel but he has a lingering UTI. My vet is alternating Clavimox with Baytril after a few weeks off one or the other (pulse therapy). This does not seem to be working. Can you recommend something to get rid of his UTI and preventing a relapse?

D.L. Dunn

A: Yes, the Pet Pet UTI Prevention Package for Urinary Tract Infections which includes Renelix, Pet UTI Prevention Formula, Notatum and Power Probiotic would be very helpful. Also, using OncoPet for immune support would be advisable to help fight off cancer recurrence  Be sure you are feeding your sheltie a grain-free, hypoallergenic diet. Grains and poultry can contribute to UTIs in some pets.

Weighing Your Pet is Important for Overall Health

Fitness Tip of the Day! If you haven't done so in the past two months, it's time to weigh your pet. Pets (and people) should be weighed every few months. A lot of times, pets can either be losing weight or gaining weight. Many times, the first sign of illness in a senior pet is WEIGHT LOSS! It can be very subtle and you may not have noticed that your pet is eating less--especially in multiple... pet households.

Getting on the scale, as much as we loathe it, is the single best objective way to measure our overall health. Scales are available at lots of big chain stores as well as your vet's office. For small pets, you can weigh yourself first and then hold your pet to see the difference. Keep a log of your pet's weight.

Cat with Diarrhea and IBD Losing Weight

Q: How do I get wet diarhea off my cats butt and back legs. She has lost a lot of weight and is very frail

A: Sorry to hear your kitty is so sick. There are quite a few things you can try to help stop your cat's diarrhea. First and foremost, be sure to take your cat to the veterinarian. Your cat could be very dehydrated and may need fluid therapy and/or medication. Also, using a few supplements such as Power Probiotic or the IBD Kit would really help too.

Cats often develop diarrhea and IBD due to the food you may be feeding. Do not feed your cat food that contains grains such as wheat, gluten, oats, etc and also for some cats, poultry may be an issue. Be sure to watch this: 
You can also try giving your cat a teaspoon of canned pumpkin with each meal. Canned pumpkin helps to regulate bowel function and firm up the stool.

Golden Retriever Getting Recurring Ear Infections

Q: I have put both of my Golden Retrievers on a grain free diet. Both are doing well including improvement of a loose stool issue with my senior dog. My youngest dog is 3, he has has also improved in some areas but does get reoccurring ear infections from yeast even on a grain free dog food. What are possible other causes for him to get recurring ear infections?

A. Ideally, for pets that are getting recurring yeast and ear infections, you want to use a raw frozen diet, if at all possible. Raw frozen diets are highly digestible. You can use a raw frozen diet in combination with homemade. You just need to be sure the proteins are completely hypoallergenic. You can learn more about food allergies in pets by watching the Food Allergy Webinar.

In addition, for Golden Retrievers and dogs prone to allergies and ear infections, it is a good idea to use K9 Yeast Defense. K9 Yeast Defense controls yeast overgrowth and helps prevent recurring infections. Using a good probiotic, such as Power Probiotic,  along with the product will boost your Golden Retriever's immune system. Finally, Amazing Omegas reduces inflammation and allergic response. Many Golden Retrievers are prone to allergies so using the raw food diet (hypoallergenic proteins) along with the recommended supplements should prevent any future ear infections and yeast.
