Rescue Remedy when used on most dogs has a very good effect taking the edge of your very excited pet. We do have other calming herbals in our line such as Tranquility Blend from Animal Essentials in Montana, and they work brilliantly too. But what I like about Rescue Remedy specifically is that it works for both me and my dog so I can kill to birds with one stone when I take it with me out walking. With Rescue Remedy, small amounts seem to go a long way calming  an animal down – be it a horse, dog or cat. Its a herbal calming formula with abs .....

Cushing’s disease is probably more accurately referred to as hyperadrenocorticism — the production of too much adrenal hormone, in particular corticosteroids. It can be naturally occurring or due to over administration of corticosteroids such as prednisone (iatrogenic Cushing’s). The latter is easy to cure – just cut out the corticosteroid administration slowly to allow the body to return to normal function. The former is more difficult.

Homemade Pet Food is the best diet for both dogs and cats – the natural ones, coming as close as possible to the diet they would eat in the wild. Cats are naturally carnivorous and have a high protein requirement, while dogs tend to be more scavenging and eat more of a variety of foods, requiring less protein than cats.

A good general approach to skin problems in dogs is therefore to consider them the results of a body loaded with toxins, and anything that can be done to reduce this load will help the animal.

Bonnie Johnson from Nordic Naturals was telling me yesterday about her Cod Liver Oil product and the extr .....
