When Your Pet Stops Eating

If your pet stops eating or has an intestinal problem, you need to visit your pet's doctor to rule out significant issues such as a blockage, virus, bacterial infection, or poisoning. Ask your vet about trying baby food such as chicken for cats, or lamb for dogs, to help resume eating habits. Many times a cat who refuses to eat, will still nibble at chicken baby food. If your pet has diarrhea, try white rice cooked in chicken broth. Chicken broth and/or baby food also help pets that are relocated and stop eating due to stress. Beverly learned this natural and easy treatment from a farm veterinarian 30 years ago! Since then she and Amara have recommended it to many friends and colleagues with 100% success.

Happy Gums, White Teeth, and Fresh Breath in no Time!

We don’t know about your schedule, but with jobs and kids, the last thing we have time for is tending to our pet’s oral hygiene. We found a super fast, simple, and natural way to take care of all this. Of course, you’ll need to consult with your pet’s veterinarian before starting any treatment.

There are many products that you can simply add to the pet’s drinking water. The products provide protection from plaque (some work better than others; we use an all-natural product). As an added bonus their breath also improves. It is super fast, inexpensive, and reduces the risk of having to put your pet under general anesthesia for a doctor’s teeth cleaning.

Both my cats have gum disease. I started adding a few drops of the product to their water bowl each day (which only takes a couple seconds in the morning) and am happy to report that on each doctor visit the cats’ teeth and gums receive a clean bill of health.

When I told Beverly about it she was excited because she was able to eliminate the chore of convincing Mieke her teeth should be brushed. She uses an old milk jug to make a solution that lasts her 40 lb dog about 2-3 days. This takes her about 10 seconds 2-3 times per week. Now she can focus on getting her young kids’ teeth brushed rather than the dog’s!

Got Acne?

If your cat or dog is suffering from a rash or acne on its chin first go to your veterinarian to rule out mites or an infection. It could just be your pet’s ceramic water/food bowls. Many pets are allergic and simply switching to stainless steel bowls clears up the problem! Amara’s vet suggested the switch for her cat and his chin cleared up right away.

No More Cat Litter in Your Bed

If you have long-haired cats and are tired of kitty litter being tracked around the house (or in their fur), consider a kitty litter with larger pellets. Heavier pellets are less likely to be carried (and deposited) throughout the house. I don’t know about you, but finding cat litter in my bed is not acceptable.

Another reason to consider the pellet-style of liter is that it is significantly more environmentally friendly – the brand I use is made from recycled paper and is biodegradable in landfills. Now my cats could have Al Gore over for coffee.
