Thank you. It was really sad to watch her go from running around the day before to legs paralyzed next day.
I’ve actually heard frontline causes cancer. Now a days who knows. It’s hard if not impossible to trust anyone promoting pharmaceuticals. Whether a vet or dr.
We gave our lab Zija Smart Mix when the vet said there is nothing out there to help him without taking drastic measures. The vet said he couldn’t vouche for it and couldn’t determine if it would help him.
The vet monitored once a month and his vitals. At around month 3 he said his health was actually improving and couldn’t explain it. Month 6 he capitulated and said that he could now vouche for Zija Smart Mix and it was in fact improving my labs health.
So you are saying your dog had pain and mobility issues of the type vets give rimadyl for, but you did an alternate, which works. Just trying to clarify as one of my dogs is at the point where I normally would think I should get him some rimadyl because my other old dog-boy, he got it and he felt like a pup again, some years ago that was. But now I am only confused....
I am not a veterinarian though. And I can only provide you with my experience using it on my dog. I think you should do whatever you think is right. But I can 100% for sure say that it extended his life.
If you’re asking if we stacked it with Rimadyl. The answer is yes until we slowly weaned him off of it. Because we weren’t sure how he’d react. And we were willing to do anything at that point to get him healthy.
Yes. That is what I’m saying. His body in general was failing him. And this natural product, which we would put in his water improved his health. At first the vet said he couldn’t say it was doing anything and wouldn’t note the improvement was attributed to it. Eventually he said that the only way to explain his improvement in health and vitals was to acknowledge that it was this product and finally wrote it down in my labs charts.
You're welcome! That is horrible. It is so scary that it is still on the market. I do not have any trust in the FDA.
It was my breeder that said frontline is safest, not a vet but she was basically just saying it is the safest of the options though none of them are great. She said it is fine if we do not use anything. The treatment for fleas and tick diseases is normally safer than prevention. My lab that died from rimadyl was on frontline and still got a tick but regardless it would have been very easy to treat him with antibiotics if he was properly diagnosed.
Is Zija Smart Mix like a supplement for joints or something? That is amazing that it was improving your lab's health.
I am also only doing the raw food diet from now on. The dog food is poison. My last lab got a mast cell tumor from dog food so never again.
That is awesome! It is funny but my first lab lived until 15 which is very long for a large breed dog especially a male. He was the master at stealing food, so we had to cut back on his dog food. If he stole a pizza right before he was supposed to be fed, he did not get his dog food. This was a continual pattern with him. I really wonder if not eating as much dog food is why he lived so long.
That is so horrible. Our last lab got a mast cell tumor that comes from dog food and he had allergies that can also be from food
There are also tons of videos out there explaining and showing the benefits. It was amazing watching his health gradually get better. Unfortunately he ultimately had to be put down once we determined it would be selfish to keep him around longer. But his life expectancy before taking it was 3 weeks. We were blessed to have him in our lives for 18 more months!
Thanks for sharing. I have also heard turkey tail mushrooms are good too for preventing mast cell tumors. I am very interested in natural alternatives because I cannot go through what I went through with my 5-year-old again though he didn't need Rimadyl in the first place ?. That is amazing your dog got another 18 months. I am also glad to know that works in labs! I lost my 11.5-year-old yellow lab in December so I am on a waitlist for a puppy. I really like Dr. Karen Becker too who is a vet that speaks out against a lot of dangerous pet drugs.

My lab that died was on rimadyl and frontline as well.
It’s a natural product. Moringa Olivera. Derived from a plant.

I’ve never heard of her. I’ve heard of Dr. Gary Richter through my mother though. Sometimes she’ll email me articles from him.
