NuVet Testimonial " Helps to Heal " "This truly made my dog better"
JUST in 2/12

I truly believe that Maybull got better by using the Natural product called NuVet Plus.

My 8 yr old spayed female had been in a cone for 6 wks due to her eyes not healing. She had been treated for two ulcers in her right eye and one in her left. The eyes were just not healing well at all, until I found NuVet Plus ! She had crystals in her bladder and chronic urinary tract infections. Her immune system was just beat down. NOW, by using the NuVET Plus, a Probiotic ( PEARLS) and her custom homecooked diet she is BETTER than she has EVER been.

Within 2 weeks on the new program her eyes started healing, her energy level was high, and her coat is amazing. No more crazy shedding ! Her urine is normal for the first time in her life and she hardly has any "excited piddle" accidents. I'm sure that her bladder is just no longer irritated. THANK YOU Pet Nurse Marie for all your help!!

We have now avoided another costly and dangerous eye surgery!!!

And, I have a happy, healthy girl.

NuVet Plus review; English bulldog Walter loves his NuVET wafers!

2012-02-09T09:36:00.000-05:00

Another NuVet Plus review.....

NuVET customers or Folks that have been thinking about Trying the NuVET Plus Pet Supplement... ( Allergy Blaster ) ---

WALTER's UP DATE from MOM ~~ Tonya Goodwin Stated: - Walter's MOM

- NEW NuVET update today!!! Walter's Mommy here: I have to say these are the best supplements I have found. He is a little over 4 years old has had many medical problems and has managed to some how pull through them. He had giardia when he was about 3 months old and demodex at 5 months of age . Around age 2 he was diagnosed with idiopathic seizures. Unaware at the time that giardia and demodex had weakened his immune system. When I found NuVet I was originally looking for something to help with shedding and to supplement his diet during weight loss which he needed. NuVet PLUS more than answered my prayers. He has been on NuVet Wafers for around 5 months. I can not believe the difference it made in his energy and coat. Now when I brush him hardly any hair falls off. He has lost 13lbs and has kept it off for 3 months now. NuVET gave him energy.. If your dog has medical problems or has had medical problems in the past it may have compromised his immune system. If they are shedding in excessive to what they normally do try NuVet Wafers to supplement their current diet. As far as his idiopathic seizures NuVet has not interacted with his medication. NuVET can be used along with anything your VET offers. MY TIP : Take a good look at your dogs coat, if the coat appears unhealthy they are not getting what they need. Since I have seen so much improvement in his coat I know it is helping his insides.

Bulldog Wrinkle cleaning / tips from Pet Nurse Marie

2012-01-15T10:44:00.002-05:00

Smelly Facial Folds? Bulldog itchy ; allergy dogs/ bulldogs ;
Answers from Q & A with PET Nurse Marie ;

Hi - With some NuVET pet Wafers and a good food, she will be much better in a few weeks....Clean the face with baby wipes but add a drop of water and a drop of Witch Hazel to the wipes - go into the folds with this 1-2 x per day. Later on, you will be able to just do water on the wipes. YOU can also do 100% flat cotton pads - very gentle on the tear stain areas.
Make sure you don't soak the wipe or cotton pad too much...

You can also add some corn starch into the folds - to keep them dry. JUST place some corn starch on a "q-tip" and pat into a deep fold...KEEPs them dry. PAT the Corn Starch into the folds - ( or use Johnson and Johnson's Baby POWDER Corn Starch)
NOW - For NuVET Plus - The BEST Bullie Supplement in the USA!NuVET will help with the itching and will dry out all the yeast in the folds ( crusties ....) NuVET is one of the BEST supplements for bullies!!

NuVET is wonderful for all ages **

	Alternative Medicine for Pets
	Itchy French Bulldogs;

	Hello, I have two 1 year old frenchies (m/f) who both have had issues with their skin for as long as we've had them (Sophie: Since 4months old, Remington: Since 1 yr old). Sophie has been tested for allergies and the results were food allergies. We have yet to test Remi as his allergies seem to vary with the weather. Now that it's winter, he does not seem to be suffering at all. (I should also mention that we live in a tropical climate which can be very humid and may also be affecting the pups as well.) They have both been to numerous vets and until Remi's allergies calmed down, we were visiting the vet once a month and paying for 2 dogs! I guess it's become "the norm" to us to haul the pups in the car and go to the vet every month. As of now Sophie is on antibiotics and a steroid for anti-inflammatory, which I've been told can be harmful if taken for a long period of time. I've changed their food numerous times from "high-end" pet food to fixing a raw diet and the only thing that seems to work is the medicine. They are fine being on medication but I don't know how this may harm them in the years to come. While it may be more work to keep them on a raw diet, I'm not against it, but was hoping for a good supplement to go along with it instead of the medication. Thanks in advance, Christina M. ANSWER from : ASK the Pet Nurse, Marie Peppers
:	Hi, LOVE Frenchies!!!! Two things I would do for your Frenchies. 1. Place them both on a probiotic --- If Amazon.com will ship to you ( APO address? In Japan), then order the PEARLS - it's a probiotic in the Blue box - order enough for each dog to have 1 per day for 90 days. ( Amazon has the best Price on PEARLS) It's for humans but pets take it too. IT will help to balance out the Yeast and balance out the ITCHIES..... 2. NuVET PLUS supplement for each of your dogs. Give 1 NuVET wafer treat per day long term. This will help to fight off the allergens that are hitting them. Also, NuVET Plus helps to re-build a weak immune system... Many pets on Steroids are able to lessen the steroid usage in time, with the VETS assistance. Don't stop the steroids unless the VET is helping you low the dosages. Yes, Steroids are not good for long term usage. PLEASE write to NuVET here: I know they will ship to APO addresses in other countries. Tell them Pet Nurse Marie sent you for the 90 count bottle / ASK her how you can GET the 15% Off Discount program ( discount code 81098) or you can call Joan Harris at 1-800-474-7044 ext 265 Here is the web site: http://www.nuvet.com/81098 ( Make sure you call in for the 15% OFF Discount program with code 81098****) phone number above: As far as food, I am not a raw feeder. I always refer my bullie clients to Grain free feeding or at least NO corn .... ( corn in dog food is a major problem ) HOPE this helps.. OH, NuVET also makes a nice TEA tree hot spot Spray and Shampoo that is under 10.00 per bottle and LASTS a long time. Blessings to you Marie Peppers LPN MA ASK the Pet Nurse

NuVet Plus for Tear Stains and Bulldog wrinkle Stains

2011-11-07T07:03:00.000-05:00

Why tear stains? What causes them?

Causes:
Tear staining results when the tear duct becomes clogged and eye fluid, which can no longer drain through the nose, begins to dry and crust around the eyes and face. Clogged tear ducts occur due to two factors- physical irritants and physiological predisposition. Physical irritants include dirt, dust, and occasionally parasites such as fleas. A multitude of other particles can physically block the tear duct, while a blockage can also occur due to allergies. Many breeds, however, are physiologically predisposed to blocked tear ducts. This genetic eye construction is common among smaller breeds including Maltese, Cocker Spaniels, Bichon Frise, and Chihuahuas. Long haired breeds such as Lhasa Apsos and Sheepdogs also tend to suffer from tear staining as hair hangs into the eyes causing scratching and irritation.

Teething puppies may also suffer from tear staining, which is common, as constant chewing increases eye fluid production and also puts pressure on the tear ducts causing them to close. As puppies mature, the problem typically resolves itself.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of tear staining include highly visible brown staining of the fur and a crust surrounding the eyes. Other behavioral symptoms include constant pawing or rubbing of the face and can be accompanied by redness and yellow/green discharge if the tear ducts have become infected due to blockage. Yeast infections may occur and are characterized by redness and swelling around the eyes, itching, and a yellowish discharge that will have an unpleasant odor. Other symptoms are fleas which may block the tear ducts, or teething particularly among puppies.

Complications:
While tear staining issues are mostly cosmetic, if left untreated tear staining can result in severe and costly infections. Infections of the eye are extremely serious as they can lead to irreversible conditions such as blindness or cataracts. Scratching of the eyes due to irritation can also pose issues including lacerations of the eye or the spread of infection. It is important to treat tear staining as soon as possible to prevent further complications.

Prevention:

Proper hygiene is important particularly if your dog is predisposed to tear staining. Proper grooming and trimming of the hair around the eyes and face will help to keep the area free of additional irritants. Other irritants, such as allergies, can be prevented by removing triggers from the environment. Household cleaners and chemicals tend to aggravate allergies and worsen problems such as tear staining.

In addition to regular grooming, proper nutrition is extremely helpful in preventing tear staining. A qualified diet consists of giving a high quality dog food and a vitamin supplement; both paramount to your dog’s immune system. Feed your dog food that isn’t filled with grains and “meat by-products”- this will have multiple benefits, including stopping allergies which irritate the eyes. But dog food alone isn’t enough; supplementation is a vital component to keeping your dog healthy. Giving a high quality supplement can help boost internal defenses and provide nutrition for blood, bones and skin.

Treatment:

Fundamentally, the first line of any remedy is to ensure your dog has a proper diet and balanced nutrition. Providing good food that is full of quality protein and low on grains, corn, and “meat by-products” will ensure a healthy digestive system and strong immune system. Supplementing your dog’s diet with a vitamin supplement engineered to support vital organs will prevent the damaging effects of free radicals and aid in the treatment of tear staining and its causes.

As with any vitamin and nutritional supplement, the quality of ingredients in combination with the manufacturing process determines how effective it will be for your pet. NuVet Plus® contains quality Calcium and Blue Green Algae, a source of protein and chlorophyll. It also includes a full range of amino acids, such as L Methionine- essential to help detoxify the blood stream. Keeping the bloodstream clean allows red blood cells to carry nutrients vital in defending against infectious tear staining.
As every dog is different, results will vary based on a number of factors including genetics, environment, and severity of the condition being treated.

At NuVet Labs®, we combine the finest human-grade ingredients and manufacturing operations approved for human products by the FDA. The end result is the finest supplement for your dog – one that will boost your dog’s immune system, enabling them to more effectively combat their tear stains.

NuVet Plus® is 100% guaranteed for purity, safety, and effectiveness. As one of the oldest and most respected companies in the pet industry, NuVet Labs® pledges that our NuVet Plus® product will eliminate or dramatically reduce your dog’s tear staining within 60 days, or we’ll refund your purchase.

Pitbull vitamins are not only good for boosting the immune system but help build muscle as well.

When pitbulls are walked and running around they burn fat at high rates. Pitbull vitamin supplements provide vitamins to muscles as they are working. This in turns supplies the pitbulls muscle with what it needs to bulk up in a health natural way.

Vitamins for Pitbulls can help your dog fight off airborn allergens, free radicals, diseases and so much more. Most pitbulls do not get the proper exercise or nutrition they need. Its really simple to walk your pitbull for a min of 30 mins everyday.
This also helps build your bond with your pitbull. Including a good pitbull vitamin like NuVet Plus will also give your pitbull more energy and help protect your pits health.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why do the NuVET Supplement Treats Help the Shedding????

Without proper nourishment shedding problems can go beyond its skin and coat and will continuously be in a state of stress.
If you feed your dog dry commercial dog food, be certain that the first ingredient listed is meat such as beef, poultry, lamb or fish.

A dog sometimes creates an impulse to lick at a specific area of shedding coat, characterized by persistent, obsessive licking and chewing at the target area. Commonly, though, most cases have a suspected cause such as boredom, separation anxiety, frustration, confinement, or even a minor physical origin such as a tiny abrasion that captivates the dog’s interest. If the dog persists in traumatizing the shedding problem area, then symptoms such as “hot spots” can develop. Repeated episodes of self-mutilation, partial healing, then repeated trauma and healing, result in severe and disfiguring scarring. Deep bacterial infections are common and permanent skin damage results when a dog shedding problem escalates from a few hairs to big tufts of fur.

Ensuring healthy skin and hair is important.
Dry skin can lead to dog having an extreme shedding problem. These skin conditions can be very itchy or painful and prompt your dog to scratch himself excessively.

Only Natural ingredients used for easy digestion

Every ingredient we use is easy for your dog's body to absorb. In this way, all nutrients are quickly used by your pet's metabolism, providing the full benefit of each crucial ingredient.

This supplement will not interfere with any drugs your dog may be taking. Even if your dog accidentally eats too much, he or she will generally be safe from adverse reactions.

Only using natural, human-grade, water soluble ingredients, this supplement will NOT irritate your dog even if he or she has a sensitive stomach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NuVet Plus,

Dog Shedding Vitamin is

100%
Safe, made in an FDA lab
***********************************************

The pet food and pet supplement industries are NOT being regulated as closely as the human food industries. That's why there is a greater problem of toxins seeping into the dog food and supplement supply.

Ours is one of the few pet products actually made in an FDA human pharmaceutical lab. Virtually no other pet supplement is made this way because of the expense and close monitoring required. By manufacturing in an FDA human lab only the best 'human-grade' ingredients go into this product. Every ingredient is quarantined and microscopically tested before it is processed.

By manufacturing this way, your dog is protected with the same strict guidelines reserved for human pharmaceuticals.

Patented process- never heat treated

The supplement is NEVER heat treated during any of the processing stages. By eliminating heat from the manufacturing process, the natural healing properties of the vitamins, enzymes and omega fatty acids are preserved

For example, to maintain chicken liver's full potency, we use real chicken liver that is 'paddle dried' by our patented process. In this way the natural healing power of the liver's own Omega Fatty Acids, Vitamins and Digestive Enzymes is NOT cooked away in the processing.
For example, the precisely balanced proportion of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium is believed to be responsible for much of its astonishing healing properties.

Strengthens the Immune System to
Protect from other Diseases
With a strengthened immune system, your dog is better able to fight the damage of free radicals that attack its cells daily.

This means your dog is suddenly more resistant to dozens of additional ailments, from allergies and joint problems, to life threatening cancers, diabetes, and even heart disease. It can even help with cataracts and tumors.

The strengthened immune system means not only is the allergy gone but you have a healthier and happier dog for the long run.

There is nothing to lose with Our Money Back- Satisfaction Guarantee.

************************* 60 DAY Guarantee *********************************
Use our supplement for up to 60 days and if your dog's allergy problem is not eliminated we will refund you money back.

HOPE this helps - Don't forget to invest the Special De-shedding Brush by the Furminator Folks. It is one of the BEST items I have every purchased.
99% Of all may clients take the NuVET wafer supplement.
MOST of my clients are on a GRAIN-FREE dog food...BEST wishes.
Don't give up your dog - Make some changes and you should get that shedding WAY down.
This kid of dog will always shed a little bit. YOU can get it under control...
Just follow my advice in 30 days things will be MUCH better.

As for Vaccinations on VERY itchy / ALLERGY Pets:
YOU may want to reduce or HOLD off on them:

Do a google Search on DR. Jean Dodd --- Excellent info:
Dr. Dodd does suggest vaccines but on a limited basis thru the pet's life.

Vaccinting our pets:

So called "allergies" are more often than not vaccinosis or vaccine induced.
If your vet disagrees, suggest he/she read the contra-indications that come with the vax, especially the part about only vaccinating a healthy dog!

Fleas? DON'T do Frontline! Try Garlic Spray for dogs.

2011-03-01T11:03:00.000-05:00

Fleas will be with us SOON! Here is how I help DOGs ....
Garlic spray and NuVET Plus - Daily

GARLIC FOR HUMAN AND DOG HEALTH

Numerous medical studies show how garlic juice reduces cholesterol and helps the heart.
Worldwide people take garlic pills, eat garlic cloves and spray garlic juice on food for good health.

For dogs it does even more:
1. Keeps dogs from having worms and gets rid of worms that are there.
2. Keeps fleas and ticks off dogs by getting into the dog's system and creating
a garlic odor that fleas and ticks detect and avoid the dog altogether.
(Don't worry, your dog won't smell like garlic. Humans can't detect
the garlic odor on the dog but the insects sure will!)
3. Reduces a dog's cholesterol level for good heart function.

Garlic Juice is easiest way to give garlic to your dog, here's how most kennels and dog owners do it:
Spray or pour garlic into the dog's food, mix well into the food.

Here's the recommended daily dosage:

5-20 lb. dogs - 4 sprays or 1/4 ounce in food daily.
21-50 lb. dogs - 6 sprays into food and mix well.
51 lbs. and over dogs 8 sprays into food and mix well.

If, for some rare reason your dog will not eat food with the garlic juice in it, mix the garlic juice with soybean oil (available in the cooking oil section at your local supermarket) and mix into food - this also helps make a very nice coat on the dog.

Say goodbye to poisonous flea collars!
Mother Nature has provided a safe and all-natural
alternative - farm fresh garlic juice!

FOR "chronic" doggie ear infections... No harsh drugs / go Safe and natural

2011-02-28T07:52:00.000-05:00

I have a number of supplements and herbs to help Chronic ear infections ! Here is one, If you want more help - write to me: mtnmom@gci.net

Cure ear infections in Canines;

Ear infectons are often from Yeast. This Supplement healed a 12 year old German Shepherd's ear infections! It reduced a inner ear turmor!

Testimonial: ( a NuVET client:)

My dog Max is a 12 year old German Shepherd. She had issue after issue with getting ear infections. I had her at the Vet every month for about six months. The last time they noticed something blocking her ear canal and were going to try to remove it. They took an xray of the ear, they could not remove it because it was a big tumor, there was nothing they could do. Eventually it would grow bigger and affect her balance and possibly her brain.

I was desperate to make her better. I found your product on the internet and ordered it right away. After a couple weeks on the product, I started seeing black like gunk in her ear. I cleaned it out again and again every week for about 10 months. Eventually the gunk stopped.

Last week I took her back to the vet for her yearly check-up. The doctor looked in her ears and said "all good" I said what about her tumor? Don't you remember the xrays?
He said, her ears are fine and what did you do?

*** I told him about the supplement and that he should sell it there for people that have animals with issues. He basically ignored me. I think it’s because most vets only care about the money and not always the well-being of the animal. *****

Thanks so much! It is such an unbelievable product.

Poodle with Chronic EAR infections and YEAST

ANSWER:

Canine ear infections ; poodle supplements;

I would love to help you and Emi!!!
POOR kid - I am sure this baby has Environmental allergies. So many times pet are allergic to grass, dirts, mold, pollens, treats and more.... Things you can't control.
The Blue Salmon and Sweet Potato sounds good and is Holistic...
The Duck strips I would change to Freeze Dried Liver Treats or a few links below: Pork freeze dried treats.
Duck can sometimes be a problem for Poodles and skin/coat problems.
Here are my suggestions for your EMI.... Try not to use Steroids long term as they are Harsh on the body and cause an early death....
We want her to live a long time.

1. Let's get her onto some Olive Oil - 1/2 teaspoon each day ( if she is under 5 pounds give only 1/4 teaspoon each day / MIX into her food
( must be pure olive oil)

2. ESTER C - give her 250 mg of Ester C per day --- This will help her to fight off infections and yeast.... I use Ester C for People and buy it at GNC ( General Nutrition Stores)- Make sure it is ESTER C only - break them in 1/2 if they are 500mg. HIDE in a pill pocket or mix into the food, you can crush this.

Give long term - NO side effects and not a drug
3. NuVET Plus - PLEASE start this baby onto the NuVET Wafer or Powder each day - Give 1 teaspoon or 1 wafer per day **LONG TERM **
This will Blast her allergies and help to fight off the Allergens that are hitting her.
PLUS- helps to rid the body of excessive yeast bacteria. REDUCES red areas and Inflammation.
NuVET will help the body to re-build a weak immune system...
Protect joints and hips from injury ( Poodles have chronic knee/joint problems)
Call 1-800-474-7044 ( CAN'T buy this in the Stores)
HOLISTIC / Natural ...
Tell them Pet Nurse Marie sent you for the NuVET Plus- Explain your problem with the yeast.
Ask about the 15% off program and give order code 81098
Here is my NuVET Page for more info:
http://www.apluspetcare.com/untitled4.html

4. LAST - Please get some PEARLS - get the lowest dosage / This is for Yeast -
It's mainly the probiotic Acidophilus in a little pill.
Give 1 per day for 90 days //// This is not a drug.... All Natural
This will help the yeast become balanced. Many dogs that have allergies have an overgrowth of yeast in the gut and on the skin.
PEARLS can be found at GNC, Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens

That's it for now - You can continue to use the ear cleaners and just get the flat cotton pads, the ones for make up removal????? They work better than the cotton balls. ( just my opinion)
Here is the PORKIE puffs - great treat for 2 x per week....
VERY special

2011-02-15T19:55:00.002-05:00

( Q and A ) *** POOR American Bulldog:

Expert: Marie Peppers / all Questions Welcome: The English Bulldog Lady - 2/14/2011

Question

Why does our dog chew at his paws and gets sores on them all the time? He also gets sore like lumps just under his skin and has real bad ears?
We clean his ears and take good care of his paws but nothing changes.
He is abt 4 yrs old. He eats Iams Pro Active dry dog food & some table food such as beef and noodles, ham and cheese. Looking into a grain free dog food, what do you suggest?

You may want to have a Vet take a look at the ears and check them out for infection.

Yes, a low grain or grain-free food would be great.

Here are some Tips:

Pure salmon oil - just 1 tablespoon per day
( great for skin and coat)

AGILITY -

Good joint health is crucial to your companion animal’s wellbeing. The ability to walk, run and jump represents a large part of your dog’s unique ability to express emotion.
Unfortunately, aching and stiff joints are just as much a part of aging for dogs as it is for humans. In fact, there are an estimated 68 million dogs experiencing hip and joint challenges – that’s nearly 60% of the canine population!

TRAINING TREATS-

Good behavior should be rewarded, but often training treats are empty-calorie treats with no nutritive value and include undesirable ingredients. At Life's Abundance, we strongly believe that you should only feed treats that can help to support overall health.

English Bulldog potty training - PROBLEMS

Question
Hi my name is Shannon, I have a 12 week old english bulldog.
I feed him when he gets up in the morning and 15 minutes later i take him out he goes to the bathroom but when i bring him in 10 minutes later he pees its always on my rugs but when he's out side I make sure he does both.  I give him treats when he goes outside. How can I get him to stop going on my rugs I'm tired of shampooing my rugs all the time.
I love my Mortimor (thats his name) and wouldn't trade him for the world but I can't have him pee in the house.

PLEASE help:
           Shannon and her little chubby Mortimor

Answer -
from Pet Nurse Marie Peppers LPN MA

Hello Shannon and Mortimor - sure, I can help you.... As for the teething, he needs to learn bite inhabition... do a google search on this : teach a puppy bite inhabition....

NEXT - about the potty training: Keep this little guy in a gated area of the house - limited area:
When he is IN the house use a male belly band or male wrap.
Here is a link to one: YOU can buy the female maxi pads and put them inside the male wrap.   ( I use the "human" female maxi or mini pads)
Buy your Male Wrap here:
http://astore.amazon.com/asthpenu-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=65

When he is done going potty outside put the wrap on his penis...
If he goes potty in the house, he will pee in the wrap...

MOST boys don't like the WET feeling inside the wrap and will stop the pee...
Also, when you see him going pee ( in the house ) SAY no - even if he has the male wrap on...
MOST of my clients take 1 NuVET Per day:

Don't forget a good Bullie Vitamin / NuVET Plus

Poodle with mites- Demodex mange

2011-01-31T17:57:00.003-05:00

Question: Itchy Poodle with mites

My 10 month Toy Poodle Charlie has been itching, scratching, licking for too long. It is getting worse and the medication isn’t helping him.
The Following is what has been done:
Medications:
1- Tritop Ointment 10g/twice a day
2- Ivermectin Oral/.1mls once a day for Mites

Tests:
1- Skin Scrap

Brand of Food:
Start with:
Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Original Ultra For Puppies through
Adults

Change for:
Same brand, grain free (two weeks ago)

Can Food:
Sweet Potato & Chicken, grain free

Treats:
Sweet Potato & Chicken, grain free, small breed

Vegetables:
green beans
carrots
I notice that his stool is dry; I believe is the grain free diet.
Please help my Charlie; he is a such good puppy.
Thanks!

Answer

Hi ,Poor little Charlie the poodle. Yes, mange mites can take some time to control. Glad you did see your Vet for a skin scrape test. Looks like your diet and treats are all excellent choices.

I would only add 2 supplements to your daily program :

Pure salmon oil - just 1/4 teaspoon per day for dry stool and dry skin.
I get mine from here: Pure Alaska Salmon

Artic Paws Salmon oil
http://astore.amazon.com/asthpenu-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=53

2.
NuVET Plus wafers - Just 1/2 wafer per day - LET's Boost that Immune system. Pets that have had mites tend to have a weak immune system. NuVET will also help to stop the itching.
Here is a Testimonial from one pet owner: There are 1000s just like this:
TESTIMONIAL -
Hello NuVET,

From May through October of 2009, my dog, A.J., was being treated for contact dermatitis.
In October it was finally diagnosed as Demodex mange caused by a weak immune system.
The vet started treatment to kill the mites causing mange and said the disease was only 1 percent curable.

I was concerned about building up A.J.’s immune system and found information about Nuvet products on the internet. I took the information to a friend in Durango, Colorado, who used to be a vet but is now doing acupuncture. She had a bottle of nuvet wafers on the shelf, tested it and said it would be a good thing for A.J. He is on a fish and sweet potato diet, to which I add NuVet Plus powder (he didn’t like the wafers), kelp and enzymes.

By January the mites were all dead and A.J.’s fur was growing back. He had another checkup in July 2010, and the vet was thrilled and stated that A.J. was 100 percent cured. This summer we had to make trips to the groomer to cut off the heavy coat of fur. I will continue giving NuVet Plus powder to A.J. for the rest of his life as the product certainly did bolster his immune system.

Question:

Question
I have a female kitten and her eye is swollen and has a green mucus discharge in the corner of her eye. What can I do and what is it?
PLease help

Answer

Hi Alyssa, Your kitten may have an eye infection and needs to see the Vet. Your local VET can give her some antibiotics to get her better.
You can also add some good supplements to her food:
A great one is L-lysine: ( treats)
Here are 3 products that can sure help....
L-lysine treats (or pills) and eye ointments:

http://astore.amazon.com/asthpenu-20?node=53&page=2

L-lysine is a naturally occurring amino acid. It inhibits the replication of herpes virus.

In cats, herpes virus is not sexually transmitted. It is a highly contagious and extremely common cause of upper respiratory infections, or URIs. URIs are marked by eye discharge, squinting, sneezing, and and sinus congestion.
Feline herpes virus does not spread to people.

Most cats are able to suppress herpes virus with their immune systems. However, some cats suffer chronic or recurrent URIs as a consequence of infection with herpes virus.
These cats may benefit from dietary supplementation with L-lysine.

To increase the Immune system, many of my clients also use the NuVET Feline formula
see here

You can try the 30 count bottle at 19.99 ( 60 day money back guaranteed)

AGAIN, you many want to see the Local Vet for a good exam.

Please get this baby onto the L-lysine and the NuVet supplements.

Puppy weaning - puppy mush recipe

2011-01-29T08:14:00.002-05:00

Puppy Mush Recipe - Easy to do: Formula and Mush

http://www.allexperts.com/ep/3799-96050/Dog-Food-Canine-Diet/Marie-Dog-Food-Reviews.htm

My Golden Retriever/yellow Lab had 8 puppies almost 3 wks ago.
She hasn't been spending much time feeding them lately. She will go into the area that they are and stand and they have to reach up to her to try to get any milk. They appear to be healthy and are growing but what concerns me is that maybe they aren't getting enough or she just doesn't have enough to fill all of them.
I was wondering if I could give them a supplement (mothers milk, or when do you introduce softened food)at least once a day?
I just feel bad when I hear them cry and seem like they are starving.

Answer

YOU can feed them with a bottle...
You are right, mom is not too interested in feeding them.

Here is the recipe and please do this for 1-2 weeks - after that, you can go to a Mush Food
( see below)

Formula for pups:
Make your own puppy formula by mixing a 13-oz. can of evaporated milk, 13 oz. of water, 4 oz. of plain yogurt, 4 egg yolks and 1 tbsp. of liquid vitamins.
Water is very important, especially with formula that includes yogurt and canned milk.
Add a dash per bottle of the NuVET vitamin powder - see below to order....
A dash is just a pinch per bottle - per 4-6 ounce bottls

After about 4-5 weeks go with this :
PUPPY MUSH

Puppy Mush -
1/2 cup of Dry Kibble and 1/4 cup of the WET canned food - add some formula ( puppy formula )- 1/8 cup or less:
Offer 3 x per day until they are 4-5 months old - then it is possible to feed 2-3 x per day...
**( Your vet will help you decide what and how much to feed as they get older)
We use Life's Abundance dry kibble:
http://www.lifesabundance.com/Products/ProductList.aspxrealname=20066428&categor...(Pet_Base

PLEASE add this great pup vitamin powder to one of the meals...

You can add the NuVET powder into the mush food:
NuVET also makes a wafer for older dogs.
With the NuVET just add 1/4 of a teaspoon per dog per day.Call NuVET - this is holistic and not sold in stores...
1-800-474-7044

Tell them pet Nurse Marie wants you to give only 1/4 a powder dosage for now and LATER on - a few months, you can give 1/2 of the powder dosage per day.http://www.nuvet.com/81098
Use referral code 81098
******************************************************************
I hope this helps :
Many breeders do place a little of the NuVET supplement into the pup mush or even pup baby bottles. To give them the BEST start you can....
Good luck

Reduce Tear stains in your canine

2011-01-26T09:42:00.000-05:00

Please see my post on Tear Stain help:

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Dog-Food-Canine-3799/2008/3/ACV-Baking-Soda-Tearstains-1.htm

NuVET supplement for TEAR STAINS

Why tear stains? What causes them?

Causes:
Tear staining results when the tear duct becomes clogged and eye fluid, which can no longer drain through the nose, begins to dry and crust around the eyes and face. Clogged tear ducts occur due to two factors- physical irritants and physiological predisposition. Physical irritants include dirt, dust, and occasionally parasites such as fleas. A multitude of other particles can physically block the tear duct, while a blockage can also occur due to allergies. Many breeds, however, are physiologically predisposed to blocked tear ducts. This genetic eye construction is common among smaller breeds including Maltese, Cocker Spaniels, Bichon Frise, and Chihuahuas. Long haired breeds such as Lhasa Apsos and Sheepdogs also tend to suffer from tear staining as hair hangs into the eyes causing scratching and irritation.

Teething puppies may also suffer from tear staining, which is common, as constant chewing increases eye fluid production and also puts pressure on the tear ducts causing them to close. As puppies mature, the problem typically resolves itself.

Symptoms:

Symptoms of tear staining include highly visible brown staining of the fur and a crust surrounding the eyes. Other behavioral symptoms include constant pawing or rubbing of the face and can be accompanied by redness and yellow/green discharge if the tear ducts have become infected due to blockage. Yeast infections may occur and are characterized by redness and swelling around the eyes, itching, and a yellowish discharge that will have an unpleasant odor. Other symptoms are fleas which may block the tear ducts, or teething particularly among puppies.

Complications:
While tear staining issues are mostly cosmetic, if left untreated tear staining can result in severe and costly infections. Infections of the eye are extremely serious as they can lead to irreversible conditions such as blindness or cataracts. Scratching of the eyes due to irritation can also pose issues including lacerations of the eye or the spread of infection. It is important to treat tear staining as soon as possible to prevent further complications.

Prevention:

Proper hygiene is important particularly if your dog is predisposed to tear staining. Proper grooming and trimming of the hair around the eyes and face will help to keep the area free of additional irritants. Other irritants, such as allergies, can be prevented by removing triggers from the environment. Household cleaners and chemicals tend to aggravate allergies and worsen problems such as tear staining.

In addition to regular grooming, proper nutrition is extremely helpful in preventing tear staining. A qualified diet consists of giving a high quality dog food and a vitamin supplement; both paramount to your dog’s immune system. Feed your dog food that isn’t filled with grains and “meat by-products”- this will have multiple benefits, including stopping allergies which irritate the eyes. But dog food alone isn’t enough; supplementation is a vital component to keeping your dog healthy. Giving a high quality supplement can help boost internal defenses and provide nutrition for blood, bones and skin.

Treatment:

Fundamentally, the first line of any remedy is to ensure your dog has a proper diet and balanced nutrition. Providing good food that is full of quality protein and low on grains, corn, and “meat by-products” will ensure a healthy digestive system and strong immune system. Supplementing your dog’s diet with a vitamin supplement engineered to support vital organs will prevent the damaging effects of free radicals and aid in the treatment of tear staining and its causes.

As with any vitamin and nutritional supplement, the quality of ingredients in combination with the manufacturing process determines how effective it will be for your pet. NuVet Plus® contains quality Calcium and Blue Green Algae, a source of protein and chlorophyll. It also includes a full range of amino acids, such as L Methionine- essential to help detoxify the blood stream. Keeping the bloodstream clean allows red blood cells to carry nutrients vital in defending against infectious tear staining.
As every dog is different, results will vary based on a number of factors including genetics, environment, and severity of the condition being treated.

At NuVet Labs®, we combine the finest human-grade ingredients and manufacturing operations approved for human products by the FDA. The end result is the finest supplement for your dog – one that will boost your dog’s immune system, enabling them to more effectively combat their tear stains.

http://www.apluspetcare.com/untitled1.html

Recent Testimonial on Cozy Country Ranch in the Columbia S.C. area:

I know how long and hard we looked for GOOD pet boarding when we first got our dog so I wanted to hopefully help out all you dog owners out there and make it simple:
Cozy Country is THE best we have found. It's so hard to trust your furkids to someone else but Marie is hands down the nicest, most amicable in-home boarder we have met. When she comes to pick our dog up in the "dog taxi" he goes running toward her and doesn't look back--same if we drop him off out at their house in the country.

He loves the cage-free boarding and we love the peace of mind knowing he's being loved on and well taken care of.

The last time he stayed, she gave him his medication, brushed his mat-prone ears, bathed him before he came home, and even gave him his special treats at different times of the day each day--other places have charged us individually for EACH of these things, but for Marie it's just part of being a good dog sitter, and her rates are still lower than most places we've found.

Anyway, I just figured that there's always so many negative things being posted on this board telling you who to stay away from that I'd come on and post one telling you who to actually go TO!

On second thought, maybe this wasn't such a good idea--I hope we're still able to get a spot over the holidays and summer vacation ;-)

Marie just wanted to share this great article on Vinegar in Pets.....

Visit Marie's site any time :
http://www.apluspetcare.com/untitled4.html

Vinegar is one of those kitchen cupboard wonders–it can do as much for a salad dressing as it can for a pet’s coat or neutralizing odors.

Here are a few clever ways to put vinegar to work for your pets.

Shine Enhancer
Mix one cup of whte vinegar to one quart of water and rub or spray it on the coat of your dog.

Skin Soother
Mix 1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar to 1 1/2 cups water and use as a rinse after your dog’s bath to help soothe skin affected by chronic skin infections or irritations.

Ear Helper

Vinegar hampers unfriendly bacteria and other microorganisms that are a common cause of ear infections in dogs and cats–keep infections at bay by wiping ears out weekly with a cotton ball saturated with equal parts water and apple cider vinegar.

Skunk Spray
FixerTomato juice is the odor remover of choice for pets sprayed by skunks, but vinegar works as well to neutralize the stink. Soak the coat with a mixture of half water and half vinegar, then rinse with plain water. Repeat if necessary.

Cat Deterrent You’ll need to do a patch test before spraying vinegar on fabric, but the smell of vinegar is a great deterrent for cats. Spray white vinegar anywhere you don’t want your cat to scratch, sleep, or sit.

Make Dog Shampoo- see here:

using Vinegar

Dog Shampoo:

Using an all-natural dish soap (Seventh Generation, Ecover, etc.) will work to clean, glycerine is a humectant and emollient, and vinegar will boost shine and remove odor.

NuVet Plus® Testimonials

Poodle's Hair Loss Reversed!

My poodle, Coco, has been my best friend for the last nine years. There is nothing I would not do for her and she is the most loyal companion anyone could have in their life. About a year ago, Coco began losing hair in certain areas of her body; particularly in her back region. Naturally, she and I visited the vet where we were given some kind of liquid ointment to rub on daily, along with some prescription pills.
Unfortunately, it did not work and I actually believe it created another problem on Coco's skin: warts! That's right, little bumps started popping up all over her body and when I brought her back to the vet clinic, the same doctor said the bumps were a natural occurrence with dogs her age and there was nothing he could recommend.
About a week later I was at the groomers and began discussing Coco's condition with the owner, Beth. She suggested that as a last resort I try a bottle of NuVet Plus. Right away I was impressed simply because Coco ate it. Let's just say, she's a tad finicky. But the true miracle of NuVet Plus showed its magic within three weeks when I noticed some of her hair coming back. And within a month and a half, she was my beautiful Coco again. Even her warts vanished.

Thank you NuVet Labs, I can't say enough great things about your product. You really are my "Dog's Best Friend".

Hi marie,
I recently visited dogfoodanalasys.com & found disturbing news about the dry food I hav been using.
I did some research & found it to be true & was very upset, I have an english mastiff, 6 mths old, & great pyranese, 11 mnths old.
I switched them to a grainless dog food, name of dog food is Taste of the Wild which was rated a 5 star out of 6 with no bad reviews, have u heard of it, if so would u recommend it?

Answer

Hi Chris, Yes, that site is very educational.
I have used Taste of the Wild in the past and have had no problems with it. This product has some quality ingredients. Just may be a problem with large breed dogs.

Currently, I have been using and refer to Life's Abundance Holistic dog food --- My picky Maltese loves it. We also have my old pitbull on the Life's Abundance, too.

With your Breed of Large Dog sometimes the Taste of the Wild is too high in protein.
You may want to mix it with another food at a 50:50 mix, to lessen the content.

Check out My favorite: You can see Life's Abundance Dog Food here and also see the Video: Do you know what is in your dog's food? Good info on how to review ingredeints:

Canine Arthritis; Joint and Bone health..... Tips for pet owners

2011-01-22T09:33:00.000-05:00

My Pet is in Pain.... My pet is limping ( I hear this all the time)

Arthritis is one of the most common conditions affecting dogs in America today. In 2008, arthritis was listed among the top ten disease conditions in dogs (source: VPI).
According to recent data, there are as many as 10 million dogs currently suffering from the chronic pain of joint disease, and one in five dogs will develop arthritis or joint disease during their lifetimes.

Otherwise known as degenerative joint disease, arthritis is caused by the loss of cartilage that covers the tips of bones in movable joints, such as the elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, etc. Arthritis is generally a wear-and-tear disease seen more often in older dogs. As a result of continual rubbing, the cartilage wears away leaving bone ends exposed to each other.
Since there are no nerve endings in the cartilage, no pain is felt until the cartilage is worn away; but when that happens, the edges of bones rub together causing pain and inflammation.

Arthritis can also occur in younger dogs as a result of genetic conditions, such as hip and elbow dysplasia. Canine arthritis is similar to human arthritis in that it cannot be cured, but the silver lining is that arthritis in dogs is not a hopeless condition. There are many effective treatments available to ease symptoms, slow progression of the disease and to help ensure your dog’s quality of life.

Six Ways to Whittle Your Pet’s Waistline - good article

2011-01-22T08:35:00.000-05:00

Thursday, 20 January 2011 16:52 by Dr. Jane -

According to a 2009 study published by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 34 million dogs and 54 million cats are classified as overweight. Sadly, these staggering numbers continue to rise. Just like in humans, obesity is now the biggest health threat to pets in the U.S. Excess weight lowers metabolism, increases appetite and can worsen other medical conditions, such as arthritis and respiratory problems.
If your pet needs surgery, extra fat can make it more difficult for a surgeon to operate and increase the chances of complications with anesthesia. With nearly half the nation’s pet population afflicted with weight issues, chances are you or someone you know has a pet that is affected. Here are six tips to help your pet shed unwanted pounds and keep the weight off for good.
1. Increased Awareness
There are two main causes of obesity in pets: too many calories and too little exercise. Secondary factors can also come into play, such as genetic factors of a given breed or the sex of the animal. A quick online search will reveal whether or not your breed is prone to weight gain. And be aware that neutered, middle-aged and female pets are more likely to have weight issues.
The discouraging fact is that many pet parents accept their overweight pets as ‘normal’, or deny the problem altogether, making the problem less likely to be addressed.
Weight is not always the best indicator due to individual variation.
For example, one Doberman may be trim at 70 pounds and another trim at 90. In addition, a drooping stomach does not always mean an animal is fat, especially in cats. The best way to determine whether or not your pet is overweight is to have your veterinarian do an assessment.

2. Change Your Lifestyle
Let’s face it … far too many Americans lead sedentary lifestyles, and their pets are following suit. It is no secret that we like to sit and eat at the same time, so if we are going to help ourselves and our pets avoid becoming the next victims of the obesity epidemic, we need to get everybody moving more and eating less.
Realize that everything your pet eats has calories – yes, including treats – so you can begin to reduce calories right away simply by providing low-calorie treats, such as Life’s Abundance’s Wholesome Hearts.

Increasing exercise is good for everybody. Long walks and playing fetch are good ways to bond with your dog, and you can get your cat moving with a feather wand or a laser pointer. Here’s a fun tip: cats love to chase small balls. Throw five or six little balls around and watch the fun … retrieve all the balls at once if you want to minimize your trips across the room.

3. Feed Frequent Small Meals and Measure Amounts
Did you know that every time you eat, you burn calories? The same is true for our companion animals. So measure the food amount for the whole day and divide it into several smaller meals. You can also feed a low-calorie treat or vegetable in between each small meal.
It is vital that you measure the food, even if you free-feed. If your pet needs to lose weight, you can reduce portions by 30% without jeopardizing your pet’s health.
Remember that when pets beg for a treat, often what they really want is attention. Instead of a treat, how about a hug or a nice grooming session?
Consider supplementing a cat or small dog’s diet with canned food. Canned food often has a high moisture content, which helps your companion animal feel full with fewer calories. Remember to keep the overall calorie count consistent, even if you change their diet.
If you begin a weight-loss regimen and don’t see any results within two weeks, be sure to discuss other options with your veterinarian.
4. Keep Records
Food journals are not only very effective weight-management tools for people, they are for pets, too. Start by keeping records for seven days, tracking everything that you feed your companion animals. We often don’t realize how much we are really feeding until we see it mapped out.
5. Weight-Loss Medication
The FDA recently approved Slentrol, a weight-loss medication approved for canine use. The exact mechanism of this drug remains unknown, but researchers believe that it helps suppress the appetite and inhibit the absorption of fat. If you have tried all other options and still aren’t having success, or if your dog’s weight is putting his health in jeopardy, you may want to talk to your veterinarian about this new pharmaceutical offering.
6. Dietary Supplements
Many hormones can be controlled with phytonutrients. Resveratrol, sourced from the skin of grapes, has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, increase metabolic rate, boost physical endurance and reduce fat mass. Quercetin, found in fruits, vegetables, leaves and grains, has been shown to fight inflammation in obese patients. Leptin is a new hormonal supplement that suppresses appetites and is being used to facilitate weight-loss. Researchers have discovered that diabetic dogs have low levels of leptin, which can lead to overeating. Furthermore, researchers found that by adding leptin to the diet, canine appetites are noticeably suppressed. I caution you to only use these supplements under the supervision of your vet, as the proper dosages vary from animal to animal (for example, leptin can at certain dosages have the opposite effect, actually increasing appetites).
With a little bit of effort, a minimal investment in time and big helpings of love and patience, you can help your companion animal lose excess weight and maximize their chances for a longer, healthier and happier lifetime.
Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place for your dear companions.

Canned Pure Pumpkin for Diarrhea / Loose Stools

2011-01-22T07:25:00.000-05:00

Q and A from : Ask the Pet Nurse: ( Puppy diarrhea - tips )

Question
Hi, I've had my puppies since they were 5 weeks old because their mother did not want to nurse them anymore. I got the puppy formula from pet co and they were doing great on that. I started mixing in some soft pedigree food and they were still doing okay. Well when i completely switched to the pedigree soft food they got diarrhea and they've been having it for the past 3 days. Their brother is with my sister in-law and shes feeding him Purina one kibble and hes doing fine. Is the diarrhea caused from the pedigree soft food, or did I just switch them too early. Their brother got switched to hard food right away and hes fine. But my puppies wont eat hard food.

Answer

Hi Kimberly, Let's try soaking the dry food. Place the dry kibble in some hot water. After about 20 minutes the dry kibble will soak up the water. You can add just a few teaspoons of the wet dog food into the very Wet kibble. ( just get the excess water drained, if there is any)

Also, you can give them some Canned pure pumpkin - just mix 2 tablespoons into the dog food 1 x per day. This will help to firm up the stool. PURE canned pumpkin with NO added sugar.YOU can do this for 5-7 days at 1 x per day.

Also, the pups should be on a good vitamin/supplement - all our pups and adult dogs take NuVET Plus - you can buy the powder and mix it into the food daily. GREAT for an immune system booster and for "over-all" good health. The Pet Foods does not have enough vitamins in them. Many of the vitamins are killed in the cooking process.
NuVET comes in a wafer or powder form.
You can't buy this at the store - needs to be ordered: Holistic - all Natural

Here is a recipe for a good formula... Call the Local Vet office if you need help with them..

Robitussin for your pet's cough / Ask your VET about this:

2011-01-20T16:28:00.000-05:00

Puppy cough ( Robitussin for pets) Most Vets Refer to this dosage:
Ask your Vet about this OTC medicaiton:
From ASK The Pet Nurse's Site:

QuestionOur new pup has pneumonia. The vet has her on Clavomax, and also tried a 7 day course of something the pharmacist likened to a Z pack for humans. She seems to be doing great, but she has this gurgling that is not getting better. Do they eventually expel the fluid or is there something we can do? How long until we know she's better?
Also, she seems to urinate three or four times right in a row, and wets her crate a lot. I'm wondering if she might have some sort of urinary issue as well, or is this normal for a pup?

Answer

Ask your vet if you can give this for the cough... JUST give a small amount 2 x per day:
see here:
Cough Suppressant: Robitussin DM

Robitussin Dm, Benylin Expectorant (destromethorphan) or Siltussin DM (Silarx) - Look for products containing Guaifenesin (100mg) and Dextromethorphan. While these products are not approved for veterinary use by the FDA they are common practice in the veterinary community.

Dosage:(10mg) per teaspoonful..5 to 1 mg per pound (or 1 teaspoon per 20 pounds) orally every 6 hours. The dose for Robitussin DM in small dogs is 1/2 teaspoon every 4 hours. The usual dose in large dogs is 1 teaspoonful every 4 hours.

Side effects:Number 1 side effect is sleepiness. If your dog shows other symptoms such as dry heaves and shows changes in behavior such as lethargic behavior, take your dog to the Emergency Room or veterinarian as soon as possible.

Precautions:Do not use these products with an MAO inhibitor such as Anipryl (selegiline) or Preventic Tick Collar.

Expert: Marie - Ask me your Pet Health Questions** - 12/31/2010

Question
I have a pit bull and her ears have been bothering her for a while now.They itch all the time and she scratches the until they bleed.They have an awful odor and puss discharge.I called the vet and they said it was probably ear mites and to get some over the counter ear mite medication and it has not helped. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions.I also thought it might be some kind of fungus or something.But it kills me to see her shaking her head all the time and scratching them till they bleed.

Answer

Hi Tina, This pitbull kid should see a Vet for some antibiotics.
Sound like an infection to me.
You can have the vet do a quick exam and give you an RX for antibiotics.
Your dog may need pills and drops.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the future, to help prevent Ear infections a quality dog food with No corn is very helpful.
Here is one that I have many clients using:

Probiotics - Try PEARLS - 1 x per day for 90 days -

Calcium oxalate stones dog food recipes: Royal Canin urinary SO dog food;
Hi Laura, The Royal Canin and Hill's RX dog foods do help with Urinary problems.
They work but have poor ingredients and sometimes have causes OTHER medical problems.
I sure do understand why you may want to Home-cook for your dog's nutritional needs.

Here are a few recipes that have worked well with Renal pets ( kideny patients) ***
YOU may want to pass this by your Vet.
I also suggest NuVet Plus supplements and Cranberry, too:

PLEASE remember that I am NOT a VET... With that said, here goes:

Calcium Oxalate stones in canine - Recipe for home-cooking:

*** the key is low Phos and low protein:

The following will work along with the NuVET supplement to balance:
Only 1 NuVet Wafer per day
( link for NuVET Below:)

LOW PROTEIN DIETS and low phosphorous,

Low protein diets play a role in the treatment of kidney disease.
[If your pet has been prescribed a low protein diet], but doesn’t like any of the commercial preparations, you might consider trying one of these home-cooked recipes.

EGG & POTATO DIET

(low-protein, low-phosphorous, high-potassium, normal sodium)* for Dogs

1 egg, large, cooked

3 cups potato, boiled with skin

1 tablespoon chicken fat

1 calcium carbonate tablets (600 milligrams calcium)
( Or use TUMS) ***( YES - TUMs .....)

1 multiple-mineral tablet - ( GIVE just 1 NuVET Per day:) order below***

Provides 600 kilocalories, 15.1 grams protein, 18.5 grams fat.

YOU MAY NEED TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNTS :
This was for an 18 pound dog for a day of food)-********
Supports caloric needs of an "18-pound dog"
(* If your dog is more than 18 pounds add a little x-tra of the egg and potato)

Provides phosphorus at 53 percent, potassium at 322 percent, sodium at 114 percent of dogs daily needs.

** PLUS you can freeze all the recipes into individual freezer dishes or baggies.
Don't forget the NuVET -
NuVET plus is a woderful Holistic vitamin supplement;
NuVET is very safe and many Kidney-Renal patients take it daily.
When you call tell them that Pet Nurse Marie is working with you on home-cooking.

Call 1-800-474-7044 ( use referral code 81098 and ask about the 15% OFF program)
http://www.nuvet.com/81098

LET YOUR VET know you are home-cooking ....

This will cost a bunch LESS than the HILL'S RX diet from the vet.
Just make sure you do the Calcium CARB ( TUMS) pills and the NuVET each day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEXT Recipe *****************

CHICKEN AND POTATO DIET

(low protein low phosphorus, high potassium, low sodium) for Dogs

1 cups cooked chicken breast

2 cups potato, boiled with skin

3 tablespoons chicken fat

3 calcium carbonate tablets (600 milligrams calcium) Tums
( crush and mix into the food batch)

1 ( NUVET) - see above link:

YOU will need to break up meals into 2 feedings per day.
PLAY with the feeding amounts / see what makes your dog full.

NuVet Supplements for English Bulldog Cork Screw tail infections

2010-12-04T15:08:00.004-05:00


Question:	Kirbys tail I have a 19month English Bulldog with a very tight cork screw tail. in the beginning his tail wasnt a problem but now that hes older his tail is becoming a big problem. We have noticed a foul spell that comes from his tail. everytime i clean it, it seems to bleed a little and i dont know what to do. i dont want it to get worse but his tail is so tight it is impossible to clean his tail 100%. i have really been thinking about having his tail cut but i have been reading about all the problems. I dont know what i should do. please help!!! also he has never had his tail docked. he was born with the tail he has now.
Answer:	Hi Justine, Let's help Kirby and his cork screw tail. I would never remove the tail but that is just my opinion. Too many problems with loose poop and nerve damage after surgery. Here is what you should try - give it a good 2 months and you should see some Major changes.. 1. Look for some Colloidal Silver in your local health food or vitamin store: You can give this 2 x per day - mixed into the dog food. colloidal Silver- you can use this for 90 days as it has antibiotic properties. ( go on for 90 days and then off for 30 days, Then, back on again) I love this one - Silver Gel Ultra Colloidal Silver Gel, 4 oz (113.3 g)Ultra Colloidal Silver Gel, 4 oz (113.3 g) 2. Start cleaning the area daily - BABY wipes and .... Clean the tail area and facial folds with baby wipes but add a drop of water and a drop of hydrogen peroxide to the wipes - go into the folds with this 1-2 x per day. Later on, you will be able to just do water on the wipes. ( I LIKE to use Witch Hazel) Or, you can use a drop or two of "Witch Hazel" on the baby wipes. Witch Hazel can be found at CVS or Walgreens near the peroxide. Don't used the Peroxide and Witch Hazel at the same time. Make sure you don't soak the wipe with too much water - squeeze out any excess water. USE unscented human baby wipes. ( less expensive than the dog wipes)- Each night - place some Collidal Silver on a q-tip and place this into the cork screw tail infected areas each night for 12 nights.
