Thank you both for all your perspective! Whatever it is, I don't think it's "health"; we seek good function, not band-aids, suppression, substitution, etc. Another example of the "take a pill and you'll be fine" mentality. No way to live, for us or the animals.

I'd say yes. No pits, of course, or skin, but the flesh is fine. A good source of some nice fatty acids. That said, I'ver never encountered a dog who craved it, but you never know. Mine acts pretty disappointed when a mouthful of my salad turns out to be avocado instead of, say, hard boiled egg...

Oh, gosh, yes! ...Starting with us, about a hundred years ago. My first dog - my teacher dog - suffered mightily from ear issues for years. Ears are a wonderful barometer of chronic impairment: superficial, sensitive and easy to observe and treat with homeopathic consideration of the entire...

I agree with Dr. Jeff. You should never push it, but wait until it's obvious there is no fun to be had - no quality of life mentally, emotionally - or insurmountable physical pain blinding her to any chance of enjoyment of surroundings and your company. Be prepared to ask her to tell you when...

Ya know, were it I thinking of new carpet, I probably just wouldn't. There are many ways in which this might be disturbing - not just the new chemicals, but the new environment, smells, textures - the possibilities to upset the kids' world view, possibly challenging them, using energy better...

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.

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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

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...

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...

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.

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...
