Is Sam-e the same as milk thistle? If so, can you just give milk thistle? Why is the vet recommending this if nothing is off? My current vet would have mine on 40 supplements even when there is not a problem. I just say no thanks. The fewer supplements the better in my opinion. Nancy

I wanted to give everyone an update on the LUCAA Dental Spray. The director of the Ingenious Probiotics called me personally from the UK to address my concerns. This really impressed me! He did say there is a very tiny amount of sodium benzoate and citric acid in the product to keep the...

My understanding is that colloidal silver kills both good bacteria and bad. I try to use oral products that promote good bacteria so they can take care of the bad. That is why I used the LUCAA spray but I do not care for the toxic inactive ingredients. Teef is similar and could be used to brush...

Thanks Dr. Jeff. Sorry for recommending this product. I typically research ingredients more thoroughly. I definitely slipped up on this one! The Raw Pet Medics were raving about this product and others by the same company. Some argue that a little "poison" is OK but I prefer to avoid it...

I looked further into the ingredients in the LUCAA spray and now have some concerns. It is sold on Judy Morgan's site so assumed it was non toxic. However, it says that it contains a small amount of sodium benzoate which I understand is toxic. I sent an email to get more information. Anyway, I...

I am thinking of doing this and alternating with the LUCAA spray. Nancy

I tried TEEF for awhile but my dogs started refusing to drink it in their water. However, you can mix it with water and brush their teeth with it. Similar idea to LUCAA spray. Nancy

I brush my dogs teeth with LUCAA dental spray. It is composed mainly of probiotics that support the oral microbiome. Many toothpastes contain nasty chemicals or ingredients that kill both good and bad bacteria. When you kill the good guys, it makes it easy for the bad guys to take over. I...

As far as dog food, Allprovide looks like a great brand. I make my own but considering it for rotation. Their raw can be gently cooked if need be. Nancy

I personally would not give that bone broth. Too many risky ingredients...onions, high sodium, natural flavors... and is likely highly processed. Have you tried slippery elm powder? This is the only digestive aid I ever use and it seems to be a miracle cure for digestive upsets. Nancy

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I do research on recommendations but in the end go with whatever works! Nancy

I have read many articles and watched several seminars by Jean Dodds who is an authority on thyroid problems in dogs. One thing she cautions about is supplementation with iodine, unless there is an actual iodine deficiency which is very rare if the dog is eating a commercial dog food. I guess it...

I have only used the LUCAA spray a short time but it seems to be helping my yorkie's teeth. I actually use it on my finger and brush his teeth with it. He is 15.5 years old and actually has good teeth but does develop a bit of plaque in spite of a raw diet that includes RMBs. I will try to...

Promoting a healthy oral microbiome may be of benefit. Here are a couple of products that can help with that. LUCAA+ Pet Probiotic Dental Care - 100ml Spray Daily Oral Care for Dogs and Cats Nancy

I thought Bill Hoekman owns Green Juju. Does he also own Answers? Nancy

I feed a homemade diet so I pay attention to poops to determine bone amount. My dogs are small so I only add a tiny bit of bit of meat at a time if I suspect too much bone. I wouldn't think this would affect the overall balance too much. I believe every animal is a bit different in what they can...

Can you simply add more meat to the food if you suspect it has too much bone? Nancy

LilF, If you cut up the organs partially frozen, they will not be squishy. They don't have to be thawed in the frig for very long before you can cut them up. Once thawed completely they are more difficult to cut up, same with meat that is completely thawed. The Pet Health and Nutrition Center...

There are different ways to feed organs. For my dogs, a little each day works better than larger amounts less often. Every dog is different and we need to find what works best for our dogs. I can tell you what I do which may or may not work for your dog. Note that I do not feed commercial food...

Excessive copper in dog food is actually a huge issue right now. AFFCO only has a minimum requirement for copper and no maximum. Therefore, the various brands and formulas are all over the place with regard to the amount of copper in them. To see the copper content, you need to look at the full...
