Customer's question-Old Timer for Feline Arthritis


" I've been giving my 16-year-old cat this herbal preparation for about 6 weeks, maybe more, and she seems to be responding well to it. However, I'm wondering if her arthritis is worsening. Formerly, I gave her Cosequin. When her symptoms worsened, I gave her a little more. When she seemed more spry, I decreased her dosage. This seemed to go with the seasons. She is limping in the last week in a way she didn't before. If I increase her dose of Old Timer, will the effect be heightened, or will I be wasting the product? How long after I increase the dose should I see an improvement? "

Answer: You can increase the dosage from 1 drop to 1 1/2 drops every 2 lbs. Try this dosage for 3 weeks. If there is no difference that you could see, increase it again to 2 drops every pounds, but I wouldn't recommend you to increase anymore than this. Cosequin is safe to use along with Old Timer for Feline Arthritis.

Customer's question-Hearty Heart with Lasix


" My dog is on Lasix 10mg a day. Is lasix considered a conventional heart medication? If so is it safe to take Hearty Heart while on lasix ? If not how long should he be off lasix before starting your product? Does your product work as a diretic?"



Hearty Heart can be used with the Lasix as the formula does not contain any herbs that would have a drug herb interaction. Furosemide (Lasix, Salix, Disal) are diuretic used in many species to remove excess fluid from the body. It is used to treat congestive heart failure, some other heart diseases, pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), certain kidney diseases, high blood pressure, high potassium levels in the blood (hyperkalemia), ascites (fluid in the abdomen), and certain kinds of tissue edema (swelling). Furosemide will cause your pet to urinate more often.
Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences weakness, depression, a change in drinking or urinating, or seizures while being treated with furosemide.

How do I choose the right dog food?

Raw diet

For those who can afford the very best dog food, there are real food diets sold for dogs. Real food for dogs can be purchased in prepackaged meals, combined to provide nutritional balance, or in separate dishes so that diets can be customized to provide optimum nutrition for individual dogs with individual needs. Real food is usually raw and comes frozen or freeze dried. Prepackaged meals can be as good as or better than home-prepared food, because they are formulated to meet canine nutritional needs, and they are usually made from all natural or organic ingredients. While this is the best dog food option, the price can be daunting. Good nutrition is the foundation for good health, and in the long run, feeding the best food will mean lower veterinary bills. However, for many people prepackaged real food for dogs is truly unaffordable. In that case. it is best to prepare meals at home or go with good kibble or canned food

Kibble and Canned Food

Good quality kibble and canned food is available. Even those who feed their dogs only real food should keep some on hand for emergencies and travel. The best dog food is made with real, whole, recognizable ingredients. Avoid foods that include by-products and meal. Specific meats should be the main ingredient, not meat listed as "meat". There are a variety of good meats including beef, chicken, turkey, duck, lamb, bison, pheasant, salmon, and venison. The best dog food also includes a variety of vegetables and sometimes fruits. Grains, if present at all, should be low on the list of ingredients. Other nutritional supplements and probiotics are often added to dog food. A reputable dog food company will provide an explanation for each supplement and how it benefits dogs. Probiotics aid in digestion. Preservatives are the most important thing to watch out for. Any preservatives should be natural, such as (vitamin E) and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Some kibble will not have any preservatives, and the best kibble is packaged in a vacuum sealed foil bag.

Food is the first thing to be decided for your dog. Feeding a good quality of food to your dog is benefitical in many ways such as rich coat and good skin. Plus, it has been proven that dogs with healthy diet has less posibility for being diagnosed with cancer or any other disease.

Take a moment and check the lable of your dog food. Am I feeding my dog a junk food? Does this bag meet the required nutrition for my dog? It will take only 10 minutes to figure out the answer.
