    Broke a tooth, looking for ideas for how to keep teeth clean

    And another one: MyPetLab (different outfit) electric scaler. Looks promising; anyone know for sure? Canident - Tooth cleaner for dogs Thanks for any input. To have a definitively effective tooth cleaning modality would be really, really useful to most of us.

    Broke a tooth, looking for ideas for how to keep teeth clean

    So, I'm supposed to be an expert here: I agree with Dr. Jean's recommendations, but after many years of raw feeding I am still searching....We are using Teef!, and I see results, but not enough or consistent enough. I am pondering buying the powder from PetLab, and wonder if anyone is using it...

    Questions about NMN supplement by iHerb for my cat

    Cool! Let us know when/if you notice improvement. I just assume it's doing what it can...

    Questions about NMN supplement by iHerb for my cat

    It is unbranded, at least when it gets to me. It comes as a powder, with a tiny scoop, and for his weight - 67lbs - he gets two scoops, or 240mg. It appears this vet packages it for his own sale, at www.NaturalPet.Health. Yuji doesn't even notice it, and it tastes neutral. NMN is not a drug...

    Questions about NMN supplement by iHerb for my cat

    I can only offer that the NMN supplement we use, recommended by an astute and cutting-edge vet, is a powder to be sprinkled on his food. I also take a capsule of a different source, powdered, with food. First I heard.... I also don't believe that overdosing is going to be critical; I think it's...

    How to support the body after getting the Three year Rabies Vaccine

    Strictly speaking - and what Dr. Christina was getting at - is that homeopathy works on a given subject ONLY insofar as the characteristics of a remedy match the symptoms of the subject: no symptoms, no remedy needed. Symptoms not matched to a remedy - no beneficial effect, and possibly an...

    Complications after starting raw

    Well, yes - if you can. Few of us are so able. It can take a while to nail down good sources, depending on where you live. But remember that canids in the wild are eating som pretty nasty stuff sometime, too, and that they are designed - when they are unimpaired - to deal with huge bacterial...

    Complications after starting raw

    Yeah, I was gonna answer as soon as I saw it:) I think it's BS - as you said, the same ol' line. History - generations of wolves and other canids, and all the domesticated dogs hunting, guarding, herding, etc. have eaten raw and sometimes nasty old animal carcasses. They have proven their...

    Observations on raw versus cooked diet for Bella's kidneys

    It's still way better for her. The hunger signs are not authentic; they're just because, darn it, it tasted great. Cats and dogs, in my experience, will eat as long as there is food there - probably a throwback to eating in the wild, fending off the pack and jamming as much down as possible.

    Good supplement recommendation for joint & bone health for 50 pound dog

    When it comes to targeting an element of diet - well, I don't, for the most part. There are many adjuncts that promote joint integrity: in fact, a well-rounded, highly varied, diet is the best way, I feel, to make sure ALL bases are covered: many species and body parts, even if economics or...

    SmartZYME Instead of Fish Oils

    OK; I just ordered the crumbles, even though we already use a bulk fish oil from SeaPet. I like the science behind this one....

    Potency

    Well, that depends:) To give a direct answer: yes, it's more potent (potentially). The succussion is a key part of this process, so putting any pellet in water WITHOUT succussing it does not necessarily produce a weaker or stronger potency. What potency you choose depends on the disease...

    Too late to give a remedy for vaccination?

    Let's state this a bit differently: an effective homeopathic remedy is chosen by its aptness to the entire panoply of existing, visually apparent, symptoms. Some of these may have existed previously to the perceived insult, some may have occurred AFTER it. But if there is NO corresponding set of...

    New Drug for Helping Calm Cats

    This drug appears to be Lyrica, used for various pain and anxiety symptoms in humans. Judging from the possible side effects listed from various sources, I certainly would not venture subjecting a cat to it - well, or a human, for that matter.

    New Fatal Respiratory Illness in Dogs 2023

    Or - as a trusted friend who happens to be a great homeopath often says: "Or - we could do nothing...." The good suggestions given above are not far from how our dogs should be maintained daily - for best health and resistance. Keep those up, and you will have a strong and vital dog who can...

    Medication toxicity?

    DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone) is a precursor hormone, out of which the body can manufacture the sex-linked hormones, which typically enhance strength and energy, "tightening" up the reproductive and urinary function. So, an interesting choice for a kittycat - and I am following. Not sure how...

    Dental cleaning for a senior dog

    I'd love to see him on some decent, species-appropriate food - raw or mostly, varied, including meats, veggies, good oils, probiotics, etc. Even agt this stage of his life you can do miracles with appropriate nutrition. I'll bet you see a different dog, once his teeth are no longer bothering...

    Anti aging new drug??

    Yep....been doing massive research. We were already part of the Dog Aging Project, and I subsequently discovered Matt Kaberlein's work with the Triad project. They wouldn't have us b/c he is limiting it to fully vaxed and neutered animals. But my own MD was totally on board with MY using it, and...

    Anti aging new drug??

    Can't find much on this, except for "loss of heterozygosity", which seems only tangential at best. Nothing on cancer cure or remission, etc. OTOH, Yuji and I are both experimenting with a more reliable longevity approach which has achieved consistent results of up to a 30% increase in lifespan...

    Just recently blind 8 year old stubborn dog

    We must disagree, then, on the value of nutrition. I could not believe more in the power of appropriate food to nourish and foster the optimum function of every part and organ. From there, we can go on and deal with influences of various kinds upon that function. And I do not find it difficult...
