Allergies A squirt of flax oil in the food a digestive enzyme like prozyme and an excellent food such as innova... good places to start... good luck! please tell us how it goes

pancreatitis This is a good job for Chinese Medicine. Innova senior wet food would be a good choice to start. Supplements will help. (psyllium, flax, prozyme and one Tbsp canned pumpkin) and a probiotic at bedtime). Maybe you have an acupuncturist willing to take a look at her and listen to...

acupuncture worth a try? Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can actually HEAL Charlie's arthritis! He may need dietary changes also. Find a good, traditional acupuncurist who works with dogs. Even after 20 years as an acupuncurist, I am still amazed by the power of this medicine. Good luck to...

Chinese Medicine for Alopecia Hello Roge I'm the new girl from Oregon. I'm hoping you have an acupuncturist who practices with animals. Some vets do as well. Hair loss can be related to many things (in Chinese Medicine) every Boxer is different, and a good practitioner will heal the hair...
