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
Yeah dog food is SO bad. Maybe he was telling us something. My dentist's german shepherd growing up lived until he was 17. They said if the humans had spaghetti and meatballs, the dog got spaghetti and meatballs. There is a reason the lifespans of dogs are getting shorter.
Yes 15 was sooo long. My third lab lived until 11.5 which was long too for a large dog. I hope your girls live long lives, I am sure the raw feeding will help!
Oh I believe it about the purina reps. It is fine if they are getting balanced meals. They are pissed people are waking up, got to love it. Dog food is a new invention as if dogs didn't live in the wild for years. It is just like how the Pfizer and Moderna reps go on the COVID vaccinated thread and tell people their side effects are unrelated!
The dog food can cause mast cell tumors and so can neutering or spaying too early. I am not a huge fan of neutering my dogs because I am a responsible owner.
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.
I have heard of him too. I wish he was my vet but he is kind of far away haha
