July 4th aftermath. Pictured is a neighbor's deaf white husky playing
with our dog Legend. The dog is neglected and stays at our home for
extra TLC whenever we are given permission by the owner. He looks so
happy here but not on July 4th. There were 2 beautiful July 4th shows
near our home and he was inconsolable, panting, pacing and terrified.
As soon as the fireworks started, even though he was inside the house,
he ran to the front door and tore the screen, frantically trying to run.
The dogs don't know where to run, they are just afraid they "run for
their lives". What is amazing is that he is deaf but the vibrations of
the booms must affect him. Legend did not have an issue at all. Some
dogs are more afraid than others. Many dogs will run and run not knowing where they are going just to try to escape the scary noise. Many pets are now at the shelters awaiting pickup so please, if your animal is missing, head to the shelter right away.

One of the most common reasons people take their cats to the veterinarian is because of urinary tract problems. When the bladder is not able to empty correctly, due to infection, bladder stones, blockage of the urethra (urethral plug) or inflammation, your cat can exhibit some or all of these signs.
Symptoms of FLUTD:
Some risk factors can include, diet (eating dry
food),being overweight, stress, genetics, breed, sex (urethral plug can be
deadly to male cats) and age. Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) can
develop at any age, but usually occurs at about four years of age. It is
important to see your veterinarian if you suspect a problem, because there
could be an underlining cause. Endocrine diseases, hyperthyroidism, or diabetes
can all cause urinary problems. To determine a diagnosis your veterinarian
will, usually, conduct a physical exam, a urinalysis, urine culture, blood
work, and possibly x-rays and ultrasounds. Some risk factors include, eating
dry food, stress, genetics and even the sex (urethral plug can be deadly to
male cats).
After the tests are conducted and conditioned is
diagnosed, a comprehensive plan can be made to improve your cat’s health.
Holistic Treatments for Cats with FLUTD
Holistic Treatments for Cats with FLUTD
1.) Diet change- Avoid fish, dry
food, and poultry. Fish and poultry are big allergens for cats similar to
gluten and dairy for people. Dry food is hard to digest and cats thrive
on a high moisture diet. If you order supplements at www.AskAriel.com be sure to include
what you are feeding your cat and a diet suggestion will be included on the
packing slip with your order.
2.) Medication-per vet
instructions
3.) Holistic supplements:
NotaSAN and
QuentaSAN- powerful immune support formulas, a must have for pets

Many thanks to Wendi Kushner for sending in Feebee's testimonial. We are so happy Feebee is feeling better!
Feebee is an 11 year old
Westie and had been having recurrent UTI's for about 6 months. She would
go off the antibiotics and within a few weeks would have symptoms again.
Our vet did an ultrasound which was normal and then suggested we switch her
from a kibble diet to canned and raw food. I discovered your website
online and started her on Power Probiotic for Pets, Pet UTI Prevention, Quentans,
Notatum, and Amazing Omegas for Pets. I'm delighted to report that she hasn't had
a UTI since starting this regimen, she loves her new food, and her skin is
better than it's ever been (she has allergies too). Feebee is one happy
dog and I am a very happy owner! Many thanks!

Tally went on a hypoallergenic raw frozen diet and over a period of time, used the following supplements – Power Probiotics for pets, K-9 Digestive Enzymes and Lypozyme to prevent pancreatitis and for the
cancer: Oncopet which
is a comprehensive multi-vitamin for cancer
Here is Tally’s journey and how holistic treatments helped him:
Update 2/6/13
Prior to Susan designing this diet, Tally
had frequent bouts of diarrhea, vomiting and pancreatitis. He
was on 5mg of Prednisone every 2-3 days. After I began the
diet, he NEVER had diarrhea, vomiting or pancreatitis again, and he
was able to be taken off the Prednisone completely within 2-weeks of starting
the diet. WHAT A MIRACLE!!
Update 3/4/14
Hi Susan,
Just to let you know
my 13-1/2 year old dog, Tally was at the vet today and his ALT level is
normal. Thank you for recommending Lypozyme, and thank you for
recommending the diet he has been on for over 2-years. I tell
everybody about you!
Update 4/25/15
Susan Blake Davis and
the Ask Ariel staff are just incredible. I remember when I
was so apprehensive of the diet and supplements because I
tried so many different things throughout my dog's life. I was totally astonished when Tally came off prednisone in just a few weeks using her program, and my vet was even
amazed. I recommended Ask Ariel to a friend who had a dog with a
huge liver tumor and was told by her vet that she would probably need to be put
down within a few weeks. With the help of Ask Ariel, that dog
could go for walks again and had a good quality of life for an
additional 1-1/2 years. Tally is almost 15 years old and he would never
have lived this long if it were not for Susan Blake and Ask Ariel products.

Surprise---just a reminder that a common ingredient in MANY pet treats
is "cane juice" and just plain sugar. Even brands that are organic and
seemingly healthy! Sugar is not good for your pets and can lead to
diabetes, dental problems, UTIs, infections and more. Look on the
labels for freeze-dried, quality protein sources such as venison and
bison.
Here is just one example from a quality manufacturer:
Grandma Lucy's Blueberry Organic Oven Baked Dog Treats
Organic Wheat Flour, Organic Dehydrated Cane Juice, Organic Soybean and/or Organic Sunflower and/or Organic Canola Oil, Organic Rice Starch, Organic Blueberry, Organic Vanilla Extract.
Why would you EVER want to give your pet sugar? Please watch labels as this is a good example of a pet treat that appears organic and healthy until you read the label......

Do you want a dog that is loyal, intelligent, active and protective of its family and home? If the answer is yes, then you should consider a German Shepherd. They can be a devoted, fun-loving member of the family. It is important to know that they are not usually aggressive, they can be territorial and be shy around unknown dogs and strangers. They are very trainable and like to be active with their people. These characteristics have made them popular in law enforcement, military roles and as service dogs. It also means you need to make sure they do not get bored, frustrated or lonely to avoid bad behavior. If you have little ones, it is good to know that German Shepherds can be great companions with children, providing they have had early socialization. On the downside, they can be vocal, shed everywhere, have a tendency to chew things up, and sometimes get carried away and play a little rough. Unfortunately, many pet owners don't take the time to train or work with their German Shepherds and many end up in rescue or at shelters. Adopting a rescue German Shepherd is an ideal way to find out your pet's personality before you adopt them. German Shepherds grow to be about 24 inches and weigh between 75-95 pounds. They are generally healthy, and life expectancy is 10-12 years, but like all breeds are predisposed to certain conditions. They include the following:
- Hip Dysplasia: Hip dyplasia is a heritable condition in which the leg doesn't fit correctly into the pelvic socket of the hip joint. Hip dysplasia can exist with or without clinical signs. Using Special SAMe, Canine Comfort, Arthrtitis & Joint Support Kit can help keep your pets pain under control.
- Elbow Dysplasia: This is a heritable condition common to large-breed dogs. It's thought to be caused by different growth rates of the three bones that make up the dog's elbow, causing joint laxity. This can lead to painful lameness.
- Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus: Commonly called bloat, this is a life-threatening condition that affects large, deep-chested. Bloat occurs when the stomach is distended with gas or air and then twists. The dog is unable to belch or vomit to rid itself of the excess air in its stomach, and the normal return of blood to the heart is impeded. See our blog for more information.
- Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency: EPI is a genetic disease of the pancreas in which the cells that produce digestive enzymes are destroyed. As a result, the dog can no longer digest and absorb food. Consider adding Power Probiotics for Pets and K-9 digestive enzymes to help your pets digestion.
- Allergies: Some German Shepherds suffer from a variety of allergies, ranging from contact allergies to food allergies. Regardless if they are food or contact holistic supplements can help. See our entire line of options including Amazing Omegas and Power Probiotic for Pets

"Just want to say "THANK YOU"! THANK YOU”! Took your advice and had vet take urine with her fasting and her PH was 7 this month…Blood test and urinalysis came out good. (She has been UTI free since on your diet plan & supplements) Lilly was 8 years old last November 17, 2014. She has battled UTI 's from spring of 2012 until I found you on the internet in July 2013. I was a little skeptical at first, but I tried it anyway, and glad I did, as it worked. You have helped Lilly much."
Renee Minnesota 2015
When Renee contacted
us, in July 2013, she was upset and frustrated. At that time, she said “I have
spent hundreds in the last two months. Lilly had a urinary tract infection (UTI) last month
and now this month, she also had an infection last year. I need your help…”
Susan
Davis, Pet Nutritionist, recommended changing her
diet to a grain-free, hypoallergenic diet, which would help reduce the
potential for infection and improve her health overall. She also recommended that Renee avoid poultry, ALL GRAINS (biscuits, treats with oatmeal, bread, etc),
beef, peanut butter, cheese (all dairy) and corn permanently.
Renee used the following holistic supplements to help boost Lilly's immune system and prevent future UTIs with much success:
