Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 23 Vitamin A

VITAMIN A - Vitamin A is essential in skeletal growth, testicular and ovarian function, embryonic development, and differentiation of tissues. It is crucial for proper eye function and possible cataract reduction. Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin and mucous membranes, the body’s first line of defense against invading microorganisms and toxins, and promotes the immune response. Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A destroy carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), guards against heart disease and stroke, and lowers cholesterol.

Grooming The American Eskimo Dog

Hi, I'm Blizzard
The American Eskimo is a beautiful, snowy white Spitz-type dog. They are a fairly healthy breed, although they can have eye and tear duct problems. Wiping the eyes with a soft cotton gauge can help keep the eye area nice and white. The American Eskimo is an average shedder, but brushing two to four times a week using slicker and pin brushes followed by a wide & standard steel comb, this is necessary to prevent mats and tangles. When bathing, be sure to first brush out any tangles and use a mild shampoo. A conditioner can help release the shedding undercoat, making it easier for you to brush.
Full Grooming by a professional should be every 8 weeks. The feet should have a round appearance, this is done by scissoring the stray hairs around the foot, and even with the pads underneath. Toenails are trimmed and thinning shears can be used to remove stray hairs from the feet up to the hock joint. Ears are cleaned and hair inside the ear canal is pucked. The FURminator Treatment is highly suggested, ask your groomer if they offer it. I do and the owners love it. All and all, the American Eskimo should look very natural.

Some owner like a nice tidy style. So here is Snowball, she is sporting a lion clip. This is a great look on her. See, she looks so happy with her new hair do and it feels great too.

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 22 Taurine

TAURINE - Feline formula only; canines produce their own Taurine.
Taurine is an essential dietary nutrient for cats because the rate of synthesis under most conditions is less than the rate of loss from the body. It is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body. Taurine is found in the central nervous system, skeletal muscle, and highly concentrated in the brain and heart.
Taurine therapy is used in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Low Taurine and magnesium levels have been found after heart attacks. Supplements decrease the tendency to develop potentially lethal abnormal arrhythmia after heart attacks.
Another role played by Taurine is maintaining the correct composition of bile and solubility of cholesterol. It helps stabilize cell membranes and seems to have some antioxidant and detoxifying activity. It also helps the movement of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells, which helps generate nerve impulses. Taurine is necessary for chemical reactions that produce normal vision. Deficiencies are associated with retinal degeneration and age-related cataracts.
(Again, this is in the feline formula only; canines produce their own Taurine.)

Make You Own Wobble Board for Agility

What's a wobble board? It is a board that helps dogs learn to trust the movement of the teeter. To make your own you will need:

• A 3-foot by 3-feet 1/2-inch thick piece of plywood
• Some duct tape
• A tennis ball

Assemble: Use duct tape to secure the tennis ball to the center of the underside of the board. That's it! A wobble board.

This helps the dog with the unstable flat surface found on the teeter. The dog will learn to balance as he jumps to the wobble board.

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 21 Shark Cartilage

SHARK CARTILAGE - Contains collagen and glycosaminoglycans. This combination makes shark cartilage a powerful anti-inflammatory wound-healing agent that is non-toxic and has no known side-effects. It is also an effective substance against bacteria, virus and fungal infections, which stimulates the cellular and humoral components of our immune system.
There have been numerous studies demonstrating the ability of shark cartilage to shrink some cancerous tumors, including those unaffected by standard treatments. In order to grow, a tumor must establish its own blood vessel network for nourishment. Like all other living things, if the tumor is denied nourishment, it will die. Studies performed at the Massachussetts Institute for Technology have shown that shark cartilage contains a protein that impedes the formation of blood vessels to tumors.

SELENIUM - An essential trace mineral whose principal function is to inhibit the oxidation of lipids (fats). It is a vital antioxidant, especially when combined with Vitamin E. It protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals. It has also been found to function as a preventative against the formation of certain types of tumors. Selenium and Vitamin E act synergistically to aid in the production of antibodies and help maintain a healthy heart and liver. Selenium deficiency has been linked to cancer and heart disease. It has also been associated with exhaustion, growth impairment, high cholesterol levels, infections, liver impairment, pancreatic insufficiency, and sterility.

Safe Chews for Dogs * Pork Hide *

There are a few things that bring your dog more enjoyment, one is spending time with you and the other is chewing on a tasty treat. But did you know that every year, numerous dogs suffer from a variety of digestive issues as a result of consuming rawhide. Not only that, but frequently rawhide is preserved with harmful chemicals like formaldehyde. What is formaldehyde you may ask? Well it is highly toxic in the smallest form, used as a preservative. Exposure of HCHO leads to eye, nose and throat irritation, which can lead to chest pains wheezing and bronchitis. When ingested the formaldehyde corrodes the alimentary canal and the intestines. Formaldehyde is also suspected of causing cancer. So why would you take a chance in giving your dog a rawhide that may contain formaldehyde?

The Pork Treats are guaranteed to be not only safe, but incomparably appetizing to your sweet pup as well.
Whether you have a Chihuahua, a poodle like me or a Great Dane, there’s a pork treat made just for their size. So, say “goodbye” to traditional chew products, and give your dog something he or she can really enjoy – safely!

Product Announcement from Dr. Jane Bicks * New Supplements for Cats *

Dr. Jane Bicks, formulator of Life's Abundance Pet Foods quotes Leonardo da Vinci "The smallest feline is a masterpiece". and she couldn't agree more. That is why she is so happy to announce the new and improved supplement for cats called Life's Abundance Wellness Food Supplement, which replaces the Immune & Body Support we offered in the past.

Dr. Jane says "The more I learn about the way bodies function, the more amazing they seem to me. There is a growing amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests a mammal’s body has a highly complex, natural intelligence. As a holistic veterinarian, I review such evidence, interpreting it within the context of established scientific knowledge. Based upon these observations, it seems that a cat’s body “prefers” nutrients as they exist in foods, in their more natural state. On a cellular level, their bodies are familiar with the nutrient components and therefore the body knows to absorb and assimilate exactly what it needs. That is why I believe that small amounts of nutrients in foods can have a profound affect on a cat’s body. In light of this information, I formulated a new approach to add to the overall nutrient intake, creating Life’s Abundance Wellness Food Supplement for Cats."

This new supplement is formulated with a wide variety of naturally-nutritious ingredients to help maintain overall health. The proteins in this superior supplement are sourced from high-quality chicken, herring, chicken liver, salmon and pork meals. Life's Abundance has also included chicken cartilage, a natural source of glucosamine and condroitin sulfate. This supplement also contains other nutritious ingredients such as alfalfa sprouts, tomato pomace and fish oil. And last but not least, even the most finicky of felines will enjoy the savory taste of these nutritious nuggets!

There is safe and convenient ordering at www.pipschoice.com

Retail price is $15.50 and the new Autoship price is $12.50.

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 17 Phosphorus

PHOSPHORUS - Phosphorus is a mineral that makes up 1% of the total body weight. It is present in every cell of the body but it’s main function is in the formation of bones and teeth.
It plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the production of protein for repairing tissues and cells, growth and maintenance to the body. It is also crucial for the production of ATP (Adenosine Trophosphate), a molecule the body uses to store energy. Phosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat and in nerve conduction. It works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Aids the body in the utilization of vitamins and conversion of food to energy. Deficiencies of phosphorus can lead to loss of weight and appetite, irregular breathing, pyorrhea, fatigue and nervous disorders.

Life's Abundance Cat Treats

Life’s Abundance Gourmet Cat Treats For Healthy Skin & Coat
This new and improved treat addresses skin and coat health in different and important ways. Because healthy skin is much more likely to produce strong, luxurious hair, it is vital to nourish the skin. Dr Jane Bicks included omega-3 fatty acids in this premium formula to help keep the skin moist and discourage it from drying out. The vitamin E in this formula helps to maintain skin elasticity. The vitamin C in this formula helps the body to produce collagen, which is the major component of skin. The chicken, herring and chicken liver meals in this formula supply your feline with the high-quality proteins vital for a healthy coat. Protein is necessary for the growth and maintenance of a strong, resilient coat. She believes that a stronger coat will result in less hair being swallowed during normal grooming.
Of course, the shape, size and savory flavor of these wonderful cat treats are the same, so your furry feline will never know that they are new and improved! Have not tried Life's Abundance Cat Treats yet? Go ahead, order some today.

Dogs, Riding in Cars

This is a picture that I was so fortunate to take. I was packing up the trunk of my car to go to my daughters new home, when Pippin decided he was going one way or the other. He jumped into the trunk as so as I opened it and when I told him to get out he gave me this look.Here is the look of a much happier Pippin when I said that he and Bosco were going to visit Jenna (the rat terrier)
Maybe it's just me, but I can detect a slight grin(:

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 16 Papain

PAPAIN - Papain is a protein-cleaving enzyme derived from papaya and certain other plants. Enzymes are complex molecules produced in living organisms to catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions within the cell. Fundamentally this aids in the digestion of protein. Papain’s activity helps to cleanse the tissues and intestinal walls. The unique ability of Papain to break down protein and convert a portion of it into Arginine is extremely important because Arginine, in its natural form, has been found to influence the production of HGH. HGH, produced in the pituitary gland, is directly responsible for DNA and RNA replication as well as synthesis in liver, muscle, cartilage, and adipose tissues. HGH helps to increase muscle tone and decrease body fat. Arginine has also been found to inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells in test tube studies.

Standard Poodle * A Loyal Friend

A Standard Poodle is one of the best dogs to own. They are smart, funny, clever, intelligent and most of all loyal. These dogs love to please and protect. They are almost human like in the way they interact with their owners. My boy Bosco is so personable, he often sits near me and watches my every move. I think if he were able he would write his own blog.

Grooming The Shih Tzu

Hi I'm Gizmo
The Shih Tzu is a dog that requires a good daily brushing. I like to use a slicker or bristle brush. Most owners of these little dogs prefer to have them clipped and trimmed in a short style. This way the coat stays free from mats longer and is much better for the skin. A topknot can be fashioned on top of the head so that the dog can see properly, but many owners like the visor look. The ear hairs must be plucked out of the ear canals and cleaned so ear infections do not occur. The area around the eyes are very important to keep clean so wiping them daily is highly suggested. Toe nails must be trimmed often to maintain good foot health. This breed sheds little to no hair and are good for allergy suffers.

Ingredients in NuVet Plus part 13 Magnesium

MAGNESIUM - Magnesium is essential to all living cells. It is necessary for the absorption and proper use of certain vitamins and minerals including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, calcium and phosphorus, sodium, and potassium. It is vital for proper bone growth and is needed for the functioning of many enzymes in the body, and for the production of protein. It acts as a catalyst in the utilization of carbohydrates, fats, protein, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. It is important for energy and healthy maintenance of bones, teeth, arteries, heart and nerves. Research has shown that magnesium can help prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and certain forms of cancer.
