Amazing testimonial sent in by Rhonda Clark - German Shepherd Breeder... I raise and sell German Shepherds, and my 16 year girl was in relatively good health for her age, but was limited as far as her walks, which ended up being just in the yard this past year to appease her as she saw all the others going off for their long walks and I could tell she felt bad she could not go! I was told about LA and how it could help prolong her life and even increase her ability to go for longer walks again, and of course to me, that was a No-Brainer to give LA a chance to prove itself to me and to my Riley girl! All I can say is WOW, DOUBLE WOW, and TRIPLE WOW! ~ Rhonda Clark I made 3 videos such as they are for being homemade and very non-professional, and I have them on You Tube to share with people how Life'sAbundance can truly make a huge difference, even in the life of a 16 year old Shepherd who has been cared for to the best of my ability as well as I knew how, which was supposedly a brand I was informed to be very good (Blue) and incorporated a raw diet along with it. I look back.....it was the raw part of their diet that has sustained these dogs, NOT the FOOD! And all this time I felt I was doing the very best I could do. Now, they get just the Life's Abundance as I feel that even the raw meat could be full of contaminates as it comes from non-organic sources. Below are the videos I have done for you to see if you are interested...how I wish I had known there would be such a tremendous difference in her I would surely have taken before and after, but I have to admit, I was not expecting such huge results, and it is too late now! Of course....I do not wish to turn back the clock and have her back as she was just to prove it! I have to hope people will believe me and take my word for it! First video after a month on LA http://youtu.be/JHeShy4t-YU Someday I will have to do more professional sounding ones, but for spur of the moments and real life, it doesn't get any better than this for my Riley Girl!" Thank You! Rhonda Clark Be sure to share this story with another pet lover! What's your story? Send it in and we'll blast it out for all to hear. If your dog is experiencing mobility issues, we recommend the following for optimum health and to get your pup up and running again! Our Premium Health Food for Dogs & Puppies, along with Agility Supplement and for extra benefit, Sealogix Fish Oil. Good joint health is crucial to your companion animal’s wellbeing. The ability to walk, run and jump represents a large part of your dog’s unique ability to express emotion. Unfortunately, aching and stiff joints are just as much a part of aging for dogs as it is for humans. In fact, there are an estimated 68 million dogs experiencing hip and joint challenges – that’s nearly 60% of the canine population!
At present, there are several hip and joint formulas marketed for companion animals. Unfortunately, most of these products treat the joint as an isolated goal; it is for this reason that they do not work as well as they could. Our Agility supplement is a holistic formula, which means that it takes into account the needs of the whole body, including all the parts that work with the joints. This formula helps maintain healthy joint cartilage and connective tissue, and to aid in the production of healthy synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. This supplement features Glucosamine, MSM, sea mussels and hyaluronic acid. Agility Formula is a natural, holistic, multi-action joint support formula containing scientifically-tested ingredients. Glucosamine helps maintain and promote joint and connective tissue health. It has been shown to be essential in the healthy development and ongoing maintenance of connective tissue and synovial fluid. Research studies indicate that Glucosamine supports healthy joint flexibility, mobility and lubrication.Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a natural source of organic sulfur, an element vital to the maintenance of healthy joints, bones, ligaments and tendons. Sea mussels also contain Chondroitin Sulfate, which works in tandem with Glucosamine. And hyaluronic acid helps to keep cartilage strong and flexible to better cushion joints. These nutrients work synergistically with the other ingredients in Agility (vitamins E and C, boswellia serrata, alfalfa leaf extract, chondroitin sulfate, manganese and boron) to supply your companion animal with a comprehensive formula to help maintain the health of the entire musculoskeletal system. And last but not least, this holistic formula has a delicious flavor that your furry friends will love! Join thousands of satisfied customers, and help your dog to live a healthier and happier life with Agility Formula. The perfect business for anyone. Make money helping pets!

Every month, we’re reminded that wherever caring people come together in the spirit of hope, and apply hard work, amazing things can be achieved. This month, it gives us great pleasure to bring you the story of Spotted Dog Dalmatian Rescue, which represents the pure spirit of small rescue ventures. In operation since 2011, the founders of Spotted Dog embody the drive to make a positive difference in the world. The non-profit is comprised of a group of volunteers, all of whom are committed to the mission of saving and improving the lives of hearing-impaired Dalmatians. By educating people about the consequences of negative stereotypes regarding deaf Dals, they’re hopeful they can make significant inroads in the acceptance of all dogs with disabilities. That deaf dogs are aggressive and untrainable is a myth perpetuated by some for many years. Even in their short time, Spotted Dog has already witnessed a change in thinking among some breeders. It would appear that few are immune to the heartwarming message that also serves as their credo: "Deaf dogs hear with their hearts, not their ears". With a background in both dog training and evaluation on behalf of the AKC and Therapy Dogs International, Spotted Dog founder Ariel O’Brien knows dogs. She knows that, even if one of their five senses is underdeveloped, it doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of love. O’Brien is leading a crusade on behalf of hearing-impaired Dalmatians. She believes that life should be cherished and that puppies, regardless of ability, deserve the chance to live long and fulfilling lives. Life is challenging enough without having the deck stacked against you. As O’Brien has seen time and time again, not only can these Dalmatians lead normal, healthy and happy lives, they readily take to therapy training and can enrich the lives of people through service. In fact, one of Spotted Dog’s Dals recently went on to become the permanent live-in companion for a 7-1/2-year-old boy with Down’s syndrome. At present, they do not have a dedicated facility, relying instead upon a network of foster parents. Thus far, they have expanded their reach into Ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. So strongly do they support their foster families, they go the extra mile and provide funds to cover veterinary expenses. Additionally, Spotted Dog trains all of their rescued pups prior to adoption by their forever families. They are continuously hunting for new volunteers interested in helping with the cause. Spotted Dog actively supports a statewide Therapy and Humane Education Program, stemming from the belief that proper training, knowledge and activity are all key components of creating a great home for Dalmatians, especially those with hearing deficits. Their volunteers assist in training and resolving behavioral issues, as oftentimes one-on-one counseling can mean the difference between a deaf Dal remaining at home and being sent away to a shelter. Spotted Dog’s leaders actively seek out new ways to enhance the lives of their wards. Just recently, they were able to negotiate a one-year pass to a private dog park for all of their rescues. For the next twelve months, their pups will enjoy acres of land for cavorting and a swimming pool to cool off afterwards, all at no charge! Posted in a statement on their homepage, O’Brien thanked both Life’s Abundance and our Foundation for the $2,000 grant “to help with veterinarian bills and other necessities Spotted Dog Dalmatian Rescue needs to continue to help our deaf Dalmatians.” In addition to purchasing much-needed maintenance medications for all their dogs, they were also able to rescue a 10-month-old pup named Bandit and pay for his veterinary care. Simply put, Bandit is now in heaven. His companions are five female Dals (although one in particular, Brande, seems to like him just as much as he likes her), and they run and play to their hearts’ content. In Bandit’s progress report, O’Brien gushed with praise for our grant, saying, “We are so grateful to the Dr. Jane's Foundation for their help.” We’d like to convey our heartfelt thanks to all of our readers and customers who, through their personal donations and continued business, makes this and every grant possible. Each one of you has directly helped Spotted Dog to continue its vital work to make the world a better place for a fortunate few hearing-impaired Dalmatians.

www.NaturalPetHealthFood.com Throw Rover the dog in a lake and he'll take to it like, well, a duck to water, but Cuddles the cat will balk at the prospect, right?
Sort of. While most dogs do enjoy swimming and most cats don't, it isn't a hard and fast rule that divides the species. "Not all cats hate the water and not all dogs love it, but generally speaking, the domestic cat doesn't seem to like to swim," said Kelley Bollen, the director of behavior programs for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. There could be a number of reasons for that, Bollen told Life's Little Mysteries. "One contributing factor could be that their hair coat doesn't dry quickly and it's simply uncomfortable to be soaking wet. I also think because cats are 'control freaks' and like four feet on a solid surface, they do not appreciate the sensation of floating in the water," said Bollen, who also runs the Animal Alliances behavior practice in Massachusetts. Some dogs, on the other hand, are specifically bred to 'work' in the water, such as the aptly-named Portuguese Water Dog, the Duck Trolling Retriever and the Irish Water Spaniel, Bollen said. These breeds are great swimmers, unlike heavy-set breeds such as bulldogs and dogs with short legs, such as daschunds. Besides some genetic factors, dogs are also much more likely to be introduced to water in a pleasant way from an early age than cats are, said Suzanne Hetts, a wildlife biologist with Animal Behavior Associates in Colorado. There are plenty of exceptions, however, Hetts said. "All you have to do is go on YouTube and watch all kinds of home videos of cats playing with water coming out of the faucet," she said. On a related note, cats sometimes need to eat canned food because they often don't drink enough water daily. Research has shown that lack of water intake is directly associated with urinary blockages. Be sure to observe the drinking habits of your cat and supplement with canned food if necessary. Ever wonder why ear infections and skin allergies are the most common reasons pets are taken in to the veterinarian? It is because these problems are usually pretty obvious and cannot be ignored. Anyone who has discovered an oozing, stinking ear infection or a chewed-bloody-and-bare hot spot will tell you that these are BIG hard-to-miss symptoms that something ‘not quite right’ is going on. The same cannot be said for internal problems, which can be sometimes hard to detect in furry ones who are evolutionarily hardwired to hide their illnesses. Inside every dog and cat is an amazing system that works day and night. When things start to go sideways, it isn’t always obvious, especially since they can’t verbally tell us what’s wrong. Judging from the popularity and diversity of forensic-crime dramas on TV, the public holds a diehard fascination with the process investigators and coroners use to solve medical mysteries. Their job is difficult because the ‘patient’ can’t talk. Welcome, my friends, to veterinary medicine. While the symptoms of internal disease might be difficult to detect, they are there if you are aware of what to look for. Catching problems early on usually translates into better prognoses. If you notice any of the following signs, or if your gut tells you that something isn’t quite right, schedule an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Be observant. Essentially, become a student of your pet. Really step back and look closely at your companion animal, to determine what is normal. Any long-term human caretaker will tell you of the benefits that can come from using a journal to record basic observations (weight, activity, appetite, etc.). Make a note of any changes in appetite, drinking, urination and defecation. If you free-feed, be aware that judging variations in appetite can be more tricky than if you precisely measure food. Always leave out plenty of fresh water, but notice if your pet is drinking more - increased water consumption can be an early sign of diabetes, kidney disease or hyperadrenocorticism. Be aware of your pet’s elimination habits - is he or she urinating more or less? Are there any changes in stool? The bottom line is, any unexplained changes in activity level should be recorded and reported to your veterinarian. Sometimes skin and coat changes can be a clue to a deeper problem. Repeated skin infections and hair loss on the tail can be symptoms of hypothyroidism. Patterned hair loss, tumors, changes in pigment or in the texture of the skin are signals that it is time to see your veterinarian. Weigh your furr-kid every month or so. The easiest way for most folks is to stand on the scale to get your weight, and then stand on the scale holding your dog or cat and calculate the difference. If you have a big dog, I can tell you that most veterinarians would be happy to have you drop by and use their scale. While a pound lost or gained may not seem like much, in a 10-pound cat or dog it is significant. Any weight changes that are unexplained should be checked out by a veterinarian. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place for companion animals. Dr. Jane Bicks |
