The biomechanical results indicated that the tendon was more resistant to loading to rupture upon treatment with a glycine diet in that specific group.

This study had 147 subjects (72 men and 75 women) where one group received a formula with 10 grams of collagen and the other a xanthan. The study was looking at pain, mobility, and inflammation.

First, see if there are any contraindications listed in the FAQs question above. Next, we suggest that herbal formulas are given at least two hours away from medications to avoid the potential for interactions. Lastly, since herbs can have a similar effect on the body as a medication prescribed by your veterinarian, your vet should monitor your dog or cat to see if the dosage of any medication needs to be adjusted lower. Don’t adjust the dosages of a medication your pet is using without your vet’s supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre their potential side effects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this herbal extract is very well tolerated by the majority of dogs and cats, a very small percentage of users may experience mild stomach upset or nausea if they are sensitive to an ingredient in the formula just like they may with any new food. These effects are rare and typically stop shortly after you discontinue use. If your pet has a history of being more sensitive, we recommend starting with 1\/4 of the suggested serving size to see how your pet reacts before using the full suggested serving. If your dog or cat does display symptoms of nausea, don’t panic, just discontinue the herbal extract and allow time for your pet’s stomach to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the vegetable glycerin used for your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, our glycerin is certified USP organic and is derived from organic sunflower oil or organic flax seed oil. It is not palm-derived (environmentally damaging) or soy-derived unlike most glycerin used by others in the pet market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the herbs used in your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, all of the herbs used in our formulas are certified USDA organic. There is a significant additional expense in using USDA organic herbs compared with conventional herbs. However, we feel this is important to get the highest quality herbs from organic farms and suppliers we trust without the potential for contamination with pesticides and herbicides. As far as I am aware, we are the only pet supplement company that uses 100% USP organic glycerin and USDA organic herbs in their herbal formulas for dogs and cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store this herbal formula?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur herbal extracts can be stored out of direct sunlight and away from heat on the kitchen countertop or in a cabinet. Refrigeration can be used if the extract is going to be stored for a longer period of time because it can extend the shelf life, but it is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the herbal extract have an expiration date?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Best by\" date can be found on the bottom of the bottle using a label. If the label falls off feel free to contact us and we will know from your order date what the “Best by” date is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it usually take to see results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, you should start noticing some sort of results within a few days. Continue providing the herbal extract to your dog or cat for at least one month to get a good idea as to whether this particular herbal formula is working for your pet. The answer to this question will be influenced by two considerations. The first is the vitality and lifestyle of the dog or cat. Some animals have a stronger vitality and therefor a better response to herbal extracts. Some dogs and cats also have better diets and less exposure to toxins and chemicals from over-vaccination or medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consideration is whether you have selected the correct herbal formula for your dog or cat. If you don’t see improvement in a month’s time please contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can discuss what you are trying to accomplish and make sure you have the correct herbal extract or other supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, let me mention that herbal extracts are not pharmaceutical drugs that have a dramatic affect on the body. What we are trying to accomplish with our herbal formulas and other supplements is to provide nutritional support for weak organs\/systems and this can take a little time to accomplish in some cases. Also, as I alluded to earlier, diet and lifestyle play a huge role in the health of your dog or cat. If you continue to feed a poor-quality, processed diet, provide repetitive booster vaccinations or use chemical flea\/tick products, these will work against what we are trying to accomplish and make it more difficult to improve the health of your companion. This is because all of the aforementioned place additional stress on the liver, kidneys and immune system instead of allowing the body to focus its energy on restoring balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my pet is not responding as hoped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your dog or cat is not responding to the herbal formula as hoped, then you may increase the herbal extract serving size by 50% and monitor the results. You can also increase the frequency up to three times daily. Reduce back to the lowest effective serving size and frequency as your pet’s condition improves. Feel free to contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can offer you more advice. Our goal is for you to succeed and we will help you to the best of our abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I have a large dog and\/or on a budget?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe understand that providing a large animal with herbal remedies and natural supplements can be a financial burden. We would suggest to provide what is within your budget and see how that works. For example, if you have a 100 lb dog that would require 5 mls of an herbal extract two to three times daily, figure what is within your budget and try that. It may only be 1 ml or 2 mls two times per day. However, in our experience this is preferable to avoiding the herbal formula entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my vet is not receptive to a more holistic approach using herbal extracts or natural supplements?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence. Try telling your vet that you respect their knowledge and experience but would like to incorporate a more natural approach into your pet's care. If this doesn’t work, and your vet is still unreceptive, then finding a veterinarian that shares your holistic philosophy may be appropriate.

These nutrients are important for supporting a dog or cat's healthy skin, coat, joints, brain, heart, and eye health, as well as an animal's energy level. While research indicates that a ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 of 5:1 to 10:1 is optimal for dogs, many pet foods contain primarily Omega-6 fatty acids from vegetable oils. This results in a highly unbalanced ratio dominated by pro-inflammatory Omega-6.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome pet diets may include Omega-3 fatty acids; however, virtually none include satisfactory amounts of the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA.

They also have a much poorer omega nutrient profile because of the commercial diet they are fed. In addition, please note the migratory path of Pacific Salmon - it takes them right off the Japanese coast and Fukushima radiation. Regardless of how far out each salmon species ventures into the Pacific, each fish hitches a ride back to its home rivers and spawning grounds on the North Pacific current, the same one pulling the nuclear waste eastward.

The anti-inflammatory effects are similar, however the salicin in willow bark is converted into salicylic acid \u003cem\u003eafter\u003c\/em\u003e it is absorbed by the stomach.

Because your pet may not like the taste of alcohol, we use vegetable glycerin which gives our tinctures a sweet taste your animals will like. Vegetable glycerin is a carbohydrate but is metabolized differently than sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is also an efficient menstruum which extracts valuable constituents from plants and makes them readily available to the body. In addition, we take the extra time and effort to use a low heat process that extracts many more constituents than just soaking in glycerin alone as is done by most other herbal companies.

The safe use of herbs and plant extracts has a long history dating back thousands of years, while modern pharmaceutical drugs - mass-produced, chemically synthesized medications - have only experienced widespread acceptance since the mid 1900’s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this herbal formula actually work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe wouldn’t be in business for the last two decades with thousands of positive reviews if our herbal formulas didn’t work for dogs and cats. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that results can vary as all animals are individuals with different diets, lifestyles and nutritional needs. If your pet is fed a processed kibble pet food, receives excessive booster vaccines every year, flea and tick pesticide treatments every month, is currently using, or has used, a variety of prescription medications, experiencing the benefits of an herbal remedy may require a little more effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the correct dosage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe general serving size of our herbal extracts for dogs and cats is one ml (using the provided graduated dropper) per 25 lbs of animal weight at a frequency of 2-3 times daily. Detailed information with a servings chart can be found under the Instructions tab on this product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this herbal extract be used alongside prescription medications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, the answer to this question is “yes” with some caveats. First, see if there are any contraindications listed in the FAQs question above. Next, we suggest that herbal formulas are given at least two hours away from medications to avoid the potential for interactions. Lastly, since herbs can have a similar effect on the body as a medication prescribed by your veterinarian, your vet should monitor your dog or cat to see if the dosage of any medication needs to be adjusted lower. Don’t adjust the dosages of a medication your pet is using without your vet’s supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre their potential side effects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this herbal extract is very well tolerated by the majority of dogs and cats, a very small percentage of users may experience mild stomach upset or nausea if they are sensitive to an ingredient in the formula just like they may with any new food. These effects are rare and typically stop shortly after you discontinue use. If your pet has a history of being more sensitive, we recommend starting with 1\/4 of the suggested serving size to see how your pet reacts before using the full suggested serving. If your dog or cat does display symptoms of nausea, don’t panic, just discontinue the herbal extract and allow time for your pet’s stomach to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the vegetable glycerin used for your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, our glycerin is certified USP organic and is derived from organic sunflower oil or organic flax seed oil. It is not palm-derived (environmentally damaging) or soy-derived unlike most glycerin used by others in the pet market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the herbs used in your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, all of the herbs used in our formulas are certified USDA organic. There is a significant additional expense in using USDA organic herbs compared with conventional herbs. However, we feel this is important to get the highest quality herbs from organic farms and suppliers we trust without the potential for contamination with pesticides and herbicides. As far as I am aware, we are the only pet supplement company that uses 100% USP organic glycerin and USDA organic herbs in their herbal formulas for dogs and cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store this herbal formula?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur herbal extracts can be stored out of direct sunlight and away from heat on the kitchen countertop or in a cabinet. Refrigeration can be used if the extract is going to be stored for a longer period of time because it can extend the shelf life, but it is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the herbal extract have an expiration date?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Best by\" date can be found on the bottom of the bottle using a label.

Continue providing the herbal extract to your dog or cat for at least one month to get a good idea as to whether this particular herbal formula is working for your pet. The answer to this question will be influenced by two considerations. The first is the vitality and lifestyle of the dog or cat. Some animals have a stronger vitality and therefor a better response to herbal extracts. Some dogs and cats also have better diets and less exposure to toxins and chemicals from over-vaccination or medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consideration is whether you have selected the correct herbal formula for your dog or cat. If you don’t see improvement in a month’s time please contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can discuss what you are trying to accomplish and make sure you have the correct herbal extract or other supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, let me mention that herbal extracts are not pharmaceutical drugs that have a dramatic affect on the body. What we are trying to accomplish with our herbal formulas and other supplements is to provide nutritional support for weak organs\/systems and this can take a little time to accomplish in some cases. Also, as I alluded to earlier, diet and lifestyle play a huge role in the health of your dog or cat. If you continue to feed a poor-quality, processed diet, provide repetitive booster vaccinations or use chemical flea\/tick products, these will work against what we are trying to accomplish and make it more difficult to improve the health of your companion. This is because all of the aforementioned place additional stress on the liver, kidneys and immune system instead of allowing the body to focus its energy on restoring balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my pet is not responding as hoped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your dog or cat is not responding to the herbal formula as hoped, then you may increase the herbal extract serving size by 50% and monitor the results. You can also increase the frequency up to three times daily. Reduce back to the lowest effective serving size and frequency as your pet’s condition improves. Feel free to contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can offer you more advice. Our goal is for you to succeed and we will help you to the best of our abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I have a large dog and\/or on a budget?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe understand that providing a large animal with herbal remedies and natural supplements can be a financial burden. We would suggest to provide what is within your budget and see how that works. For example, if you have a 100 lb dog that would require 5 mls of an herbal extract two to three times daily, figure what is within your budget and try that. It may only be 1 ml or 2 mls two times per day. However, in our experience this is preferable to avoiding the herbal formula entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my vet is not receptive to a more holistic approach using herbal extracts or natural supplements?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence. Try telling your vet that you respect their knowledge and experience but would like to incorporate a more natural approach into your pet's care. If this doesn’t work, and your vet is still unreceptive, then finding a veterinarian that shares your holistic philosophy may be appropriate.

Research shows that the bromelain enzyme may lower swelling, stop bruising, speed up healing time, and reduce discomfort in individuals following surgical procedures. One double-blind study of over 150 women who received episiotomies (surgical cuts in the perineum) during childbirth, found that women given large servings of oral bromelain over a period of 3 days, beginning 4 hours after delivery, showed a huge decrease in swelling, and discomfort. Ninety percent of women taking the supplement showed excellent recovery compared to 44% of women in the placebo group. These properties make bromelain an effective remedy for helping to alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis and reduce swelling resulting from strains and sprains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePapain\u003c\/strong\u003e - Derived from papaya, this enzyme demonstrates broad proteolitic activity over a wide pH range and effectively reduces swelling when used systemically.

Cellulase enzymes aid in the total digestion of plant-based foods and increase the nutritional value of those foods. The important reason for inclusion in this formula is to reduce the proliferation of Candida albicans. Candida is a fungus naturally occurring in the body, but which can over grow following the use of antibiotics and inhabit the upper intestines and skin. Being a fungus it has an external shell mad of chitin in part being comprised of cellulose. The cellulase enzyme in this formula will help to digest this outer shell killing the fungi while releasing less toxins than would be created if a yeast killing herb or other product was used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlucoamylase\u003c\/strong\u003e - This enzyme has been shown to aid in easing the negative effects of irritable bowel syndrome and other common symptoms as nausea, vomiting, gas, heartburn, bloating and loss of appetite. Studies also show that glucoamylase can also lower autoimmunity responses. In the case of autoimmune diseases, antigens and antibodies, when not cleared out over time, can create tissue damage in the body. This can lead to diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and some types of kidney disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeta-Glucanase\u003c\/strong\u003e - This enzyme represents a group of carbohydrate enzymes which break down glycosidic bonds within beta-glucan. These glucans also create up to 60% of the cell wall of many forms of fungal organisms such as\u003cem\u003e Candida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e. Animals suffering from an overgrowth of the candida fungus (a condition also known as candidiasis) may benefit from taking beta-glucanase. Candida albicans overgowth is often notoriously difficult to eliminate because of its inherent ability to resist antimicrobial agents. Sadly, many dogs and cats are treated for digestive problems and infections with prolonged and high-dose antibiotics. This can actually increase Candida’s ability to become even more antibiotic-resistant. Beta-glucanase is an enzyme that has been found to be particularly useful in reducing the coating or biofilm of Candida that can grow in the digestive tract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNattokinase\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003cspan\u003eThe organism that produces nattokinase was originally discovered in a fermented soy food called natto, a traditional fermented soybean food that is very popular in Japan. Nattokinase is a powerful proteolytic enzyme that has been shown in studies to help prevent the build up of fibrin in blood vessels that occurs as we age. Helps to maintain healthy blood pressure and because of its fibrinolytic activity is believed to reduce the chance of heart attack and stroke.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalase\u003c\/strong\u003e - Catalases are perhaps the single most efficient enzymes found in the cells of an animal's body. These enzymes act to protect cells, counteracting and balancing the continual production of hydrogen peroxide which, in excess, has been associated with premature greying of the hair. Catalase is currently being studied for its applications on extending life span and vitality. Research scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle conducted a lab study on rats and the augmentation of natural catalase in their bodies. By supplementing with increased catalase, the life span of these laboratory rats increased by almost 20%. This is the equivalent of nearly 25 human years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRutin\u003c\/strong\u003e - A good source of quercetin with strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Having said that, when it comes to proteolytic enzymes, most of them (other than pepsin) work best in a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline environment.

It may be the maintenance dose or your dog may need to be on double the maintenance dose to relieve his discomfort. A mistake people often make is to give half the dosage for one reason or another. You do not want to do that here, but instead give enough to notice your pet is feeling better and then you can reduce the dosage as desired paying close attention to the stiffness or discomfort your animal is experiencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor example your doge is on two enzymes twice per day. You try to reduce the dosage to one in the morning and two at night. Within a day or two you notice your dog is looking a little stiffer going up stairs and realize the need for four enzymes daily because three was not enough. These enzymes are water soluble and excesses are removed by the body in 24-48 hrs so they are very safe. Feel free to contact us if you need help with a dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is very important to give these enzymes on an empty stomach. If this is not done they will begin to digest food in the stomach and be less effective for the work in the GI tract and blood stream that we want them to do. Provide systemic enzymes to your dog first thing in the morning as you awake and then immediately before bedtime. For more intense use another dose can also be given in the afternoon. You want to use as little treat as you can to get your animal to take the enzyme. We use a dab of almond butter and our dogs just swallow them right down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage: Store at room temperature away from heat and moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[\/instructions]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Pet Health and Nutrition Center","offers":[{"title":"60 Caps","offer_id":40679088717974,"sku":"DV173-60","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"150 Caps","offer_id":40679088750742,"sku":"DV173-150","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/5643\/4070\/products\/systemic-enzymes_1200x1200_21563f14-2d8f-4bcd-9dba-b831b1745e0b.jpg?v=1642965760"},{"product_id":"elk-velvet-antler-dogs-cats","title":"Elk Velvet Antler for Dogs and Cats","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElk Velvet Antler \u003c\/strong\u003efor dogs and cats is an all-natural, whole food joint supplement that contains the nutrients most respected for joint health and pain reduction.

The skin, ligaments, and tendons begin to loose elasticity. Even larger arteries lose elasticity, causing increased blood pressure, decreased heart rate, and decreased blood flow through the heart. The body may also become less able to adapt to environmental changes such as cold weather. The immune system weakens with age, leaving the body less able to heal and repair itself. Some animals and people experience memory loss and decreased ability to solve problems. As one grows older, a decrease in the body’s ability to digest food properly often leads to nutritional deficiencies and diseases related to these deficiencies.

Velvet is the name given to antlers while they are growing and still in a cartilaginous state harvested before the growth cycle is complete;generally at about 75 days when the antler from a mature elk weighs between 25 and 40 pounds. At this stage, the antler contains a wealth of nutrients, growth factors, minerals, and amino acids. It is very important that the Elk Velvet Antler is harvested at the proper time when the most valuable nutritional elements are at their peak. The elk velvet antler is then freeze-dried to naturally preserve the valuable components and microbiologically tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the primary component responsible for Elk Velvet Antler's remarkable anti-inflammatory attribute?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the credit goes to Chondroitin Sulfate, which is a potent anti-inflammatory agent with long-lasting effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes Elk Velvet Antler have any other benefits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, Elk Velvet Antler can not only provide relief from the effects of osteoarthritis but it has been described as a natural adaptogen, providing precursors, or the raw materials, your body needs to produce the compounds it needs for good health.

The active constituent curcumin that is found in turmeric has shown promising results in numerous studies to have anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-tumor and immune supporting qualities that enhance weakened immune response while also modulating an over-active immune response as is encountered in autoimmune conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany outside of the pharmaceutical\/medical industry believe that herbs in their whole food form are the best way to obtain the most benefits from an herb. This segment of the industry supports the use of turmeric root extract, that contains constituents from the whole herb, over curcumin extract, that is often obtained from outside of the US and can be of unknown quality. For this reason we extract all the constituents, including curcumin, from \u003cem\u003eUSDA organic\u003c\/em\u003e turmeric root using USP organic vegetable glycerin so it safe, nutritious and easy to provide to your pet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies have also shown that curcumin is quickly neutralized by the liver and for this reason is not well utilized by the body.

This addition makes the use of turmeric extracts much more effective for your dog or cat. You may have seen products that use \u003cem\u003eBioPerine™\u003c\/em\u003e that is a trademarked extract to obtain their piperine. We instead use organic black peppercorns and feel this is the best and safest way to provide piperine to your dog or cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding: 1em; border: 1px solid #cc6633;\"\u003eRecently, \u003cem\u003eThe Pet Health and Nutrition Center\u003c\/em\u003e has begun using a new technology to extract our glycerite herbal remedies called \u003cem\u003eUltrasonic Botanical Extraction\u003c\/em\u003e.

Vegetable glycerin is a carbohydrate but is metabolized differently than sugar and does not raise blood sugar levels. It is also an efficient menstruum which extracts valuable constituents from plants and makes them readily available to the body. In addition, we take the extra time and effort to use a low heat process that extracts many more constituents than just soaking in glycerin alone as is done by most other herbal companies.

If your pet is fed a processed kibble pet food, receives excessive booster vaccines every year, flea and tick pesticide treatments every month, is currently using, or has used, a variety of prescription medications, experiencing the benefits of an herbal remedy may require a little more effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the correct dosage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe general serving size of our herbal extracts for dogs and cats is one ml (using the provided graduated dropper) per 25 lbs of animal weight at a frequency of 2-3 times daily. Detailed information with a servings chart can be found under the Instructions tab on this product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this herbal extract be used alongside prescription medications?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, the answer to this question is “yes” with some caveats. First, see if there are any contraindications listed in the FAQs question above. Next, we suggest that herbal formulas are given at least two hours away from medications to avoid the potential for interactions. Lastly, since herbs can have a similar effect on the body as a medication prescribed by your veterinarian, your vet should monitor your dog or cat to see if the dosage of any medication needs to be adjusted lower. Don’t adjust the dosages of a medication your pet is using without your vet’s supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre their potential side effects?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile this herbal extract is very well tolerated by the majority of dogs and cats, a very small percentage of users may experience mild stomach upset or nausea if they are sensitive to an ingredient in the formula just like they may with any new food. These effects are rare and typically stop shortly after you discontinue use. If your pet has a history of being more sensitive, we recommend starting with 1\/4 of the suggested serving size to see how your pet reacts before using the full suggested serving. If your dog or cat does display symptoms of nausea, don’t panic, just discontinue the herbal extract and allow time for your pet’s stomach to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the vegetable glycerin used for your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, our glycerin is certified USP organic and is derived from organic sunflower oil or organic flax seed oil. It is not palm-derived (environmentally damaging) or soy-derived unlike most glycerin used by others in the pet market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the herbs used in your herbal formulas organic?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, all of the herbs used in our formulas are certified USDA organic. There is a significant additional expense in using USDA organic herbs compared with conventional herbs. However, we feel this is important to get the highest quality herbs from organic farms and suppliers we trust without the potential for contamination with pesticides and herbicides. As far as I am aware, we are the only pet supplement company that uses 100% USP organic glycerin and USDA organic herbs in their herbal formulas for dogs and cats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store this herbal formula?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur herbal extracts can be stored out of direct sunlight and away from heat on the kitchen countertop or in a cabinet. Refrigeration can be used if the extract is going to be stored for a longer period of time because it can extend the shelf life, but it is not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the herbal extract have an expiration date?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \"Best by\" date can be found on the bottom of the bottle using a label. If the label falls off feel free to contact us and we will know from your order date what the “Best by” date is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it usually take to see results?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally, you should start noticing some sort of results within a few days. Continue providing the herbal extract to your dog or cat for at least one month to get a good idea as to whether this particular herbal formula is working for your pet. The answer to this question will be influenced by two considerations. The first is the vitality and lifestyle of the dog or cat. Some animals have a stronger vitality and therefor a better response to herbal extracts. Some dogs and cats also have better diets and less exposure to toxins and chemicals from over-vaccination or medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother consideration is whether you have selected the correct herbal formula for your dog or cat. If you don’t see improvement in a month’s time please contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can discuss what you are trying to accomplish and make sure you have the correct herbal extract or other supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLastly, let me mention that herbal extracts are not pharmaceutical drugs that have a dramatic affect on the body. What we are trying to accomplish with our herbal formulas and other supplements is to provide nutritional support for weak organs\/systems and this can take a little time to accomplish in some cases. Also, as I alluded to earlier, diet and lifestyle play a huge role in the health of your dog or cat. If you continue to feed a poor-quality, processed diet, provide repetitive booster vaccinations or use chemical flea\/tick products, these will work against what we are trying to accomplish and make it more difficult to improve the health of your companion. This is because all of the aforementioned place additional stress on the liver, kidneys and immune system instead of allowing the body to focus its energy on restoring balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my pet is not responding as hoped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your dog or cat is not responding to the herbal formula as hoped, then you may increase the herbal extract serving size by 50% and monitor the results. You can also increase the frequency up to three times daily. Reduce back to the lowest effective serving size and frequency as your pet’s condition improves. Feel free to contact us at support@thephnc.com so we can offer you more advice. Our goal is for you to succeed and we will help you to the best of our abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if I have a large dog and\/or on a budget?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe understand that providing a large animal with herbal remedies and natural supplements can be a financial burden. We would suggest to provide what is within your budget and see how that works. For example, if you have a 100 lb dog that would require 5 mls of an herbal extract two to three times daily, figure what is within your budget and try that. It may only be 1 ml or 2 mls two times per day. However, in our experience this is preferable to avoiding the herbal formula entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if my vet is not receptive to a more holistic approach using herbal extracts or natural supplements?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence. Try telling your vet that you respect their knowledge and experience but would like to incorporate a more natural approach into your pet's care. If this doesn’t work, and your vet is still unreceptive, then finding a veterinarian that shares your holistic philosophy may be appropriate.
