Happy New Year!!

The New Year brings us another opportunity and chance for change, new starts, and new beginnings.

We’ve spent a lot of money on Christmas, and parties …….so now, we’re wondering how we will pay off our credit cards with tax season around the corner. With the New Year come the resolutions and, hopefully…solutions. It is good to set some goals for yourself, and your pets.

Have you taken the opportunity of looking back to last year and evaluating your actions and activities…..what worked and what didn’t? We can learn from our past history which will help us to look into the future to see what is needed and wanted in our Life….and how we can correct some of the mistakes we made. What do you wish for you & your pets?

Maybe you want good health, stable finances, mastery in a sport, or perhaps better communication with your spouse and family. What ever your goals and intentions are for 2004, write them down and put them by your bathroom mirror……..so you can see them when brushing your teeth before going to work, and before going to bed.

Images instead of words could be even more powerful in concentrating your intention and prayers ……to get what you want, and what you need. My wife and I made a collage from cut outs from magazines that help us keep focused.

What I would like to suggest to have for your goals and intentions for this year regarding the health of your pets are the following:
Be more proactive with your pets and the animals you care for.

1.) Emotionally through loving them, and having more patience

2.) Physically through more exercise, better food, supplements, training, and knowledge of first aid

3.) Spiritually by seeing God through their eyes

4.) Listen to my radio show on Saturdays via the Internet at www.kkcr.org / 9-10am Hawaii time = 11-noon Pacific Standard Time.

The animals in your lives are Gifts from God. They bring joy, companionship love and light into your life. They come to heal us. Please give them the care they deserve, for they give back so much more.

VETERINARY MEDICINE IN FLUX

Drug companies have become great forces in shaping how medicine is prescribed, how research is done, and how doctors think. Marketing gimmicks, TV ads, and misinformation disguised as “science” has tainted many veterinarians’ view of how to practice medicine. The profit motive is the primary interest of drug and chemical companies, and therefore, staying healthy is bad for business. Fifty years ago the same drug companies were tramping through the jungles of South America and Africa looking for herbal medicines. They still are today, but because it is more convenient and less expensive to create drugs in a laboratory than to hunt, grow, harvest and process plants into medicine, drugs have been substituted for plant medicines. Drugs have become the panacea of our times….promising a cure for almost anything.

We are constantly waiting for that “magic bullet”, the drug to cure all that ails us. In the 1960’s, cortisone was the cure for everything until 10 years later, people were coming down with serious side–effects. More than 90,000 people die of drug overdoses or reactions every year in the USA, yet herbal medicines have become the “bad guys”.

Even the ephedra plant which has been labeled “dangerous” because of its inappropriate use (without the guidance of an experienced naturopathic doctor) has killed less than 160 people in the last 3 years. Meanwhile, Tylenol, which is the leading cause of liver failure in humans, killing thousands of people every year, sits on the shelves of drug stores, supermarkets, and “gas and go’s”. The politics of medicine is bankrupting our health, and bank accounts.

Always question what you are told by your veterinarian, and believe half of what you read on the internet. Read and buy books written by veterinarians who are the new thinkers: members of the American Holistic Veterinary Association, the Veterinary Botanical Medical Association, the American Homeopathic Veterinary Association, and the American Academy of Veterinary Acupuncture.

Conventional veterinary medicine is in a flux with Holistic and Natural medicine. Veterinary medicine is turning a corner and evolving beyond drugs, surgery, technology, and treating animals like little machines that need “fixing”.

“Integrative medicine” will be here soon. Dr. Andrew Weil has been a pioneer in human medicine, and the founders (of which I am one) of the American Holistic Veterinary Association have been forging ahead exploring the past to create a better future in medicine for animals. Prevention before Intervention is the best way to go.
Blending the ancient wisdom and healing modalities of the Orient, natural medicine of indigenous peoples, and adding intuition, the healing touch, humanity, compassion and Spirit with scientism, technology, and biomechanics; veterinary medicine is evolving and veterinarians are breaking out of their cocoons.

We have a very full plate of information this issue. Please read a little at a time so you don’t get reader’s indigestion. Put some good music on in the background.

If you have used Genesis/Resources supplements, you would have experienced excellent quality and ingredients…..formulated by me.

I have made herbal-vitamin-mineral nutraceutical mixes for over 25 years, and have created some of the most useful formulas for veterinarians to incorporate into their practices….whether holistic or conventional.

They are not only effective but are easy to use. and understand. I have researched scientific studies, traditional uses, and clinical trials for each single ingredient listed.

SKIN HEALTH

One of the keys to good skin is a healthy wholesome diet. Another key to healthy skin in a tropical or summer climate is keeping the fur free of parasites: fleas, ticks, molds, yeasts and harmful bacteria. It’s also important to stimulate the circulation to the skin, and nourish the hair follicles with topical agents.

The process of bathing properly includes massaging the suds deep into the fur and skin. This not only insures proper cleaning and elimination of parasites, but improves the blood flow to the skin which enhances healing. The essential oils I use in my shampoos are effective in killing and controlling parasites.

Nutrients such as aloe vera juice, glycerine, protein (usually from beer or gelatin), chamomile tea, noni juice, sesame seed and olive oils are often added to the shampoos I make to enhance healing.

In “stinky” animals, antioxidants are necessary to add to the shampoo such as rosemary, chlorophyll, vitamin C & E, zinc, and beta-carotene to rid the body of biological wastes and by-products that act as “food” for bacteria and yeast, which will also attract fleas and parasites to the animal. Or, give Genesis/Resources
(1-877-P-E-T-S-4-L-I-F):

• Antioxidant Support (for liver detox)
• Blood & Energy (for blood detox)

Spicy Tropical Blend Flea & Tick Shampoo

Ingredients:

½ tsp cinnamon or rosemary oil

½ tsp orange oil

½ tsp lemon grass oil

2 oz glycerine (available at most drug stores)

6 oz aloe vera juice

12 oz of a mild commercial human shampoo like Neutragena and Baby Shampoo or use Dr.Bronner’s Liquid Castile soap (comes In non-scented, eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint, any of these will do and are available at health food stores and some Drug stores.)

1tsp of Skin So Soft (Avon) or Olive oil

1 lemon (squeezed all the juice and filter out the seeds and pulp)

Directions:

1. Mix lemon juice, Skin So Soft (or Olive oil), and Aloe Vera Juice together in a glass quart jar.

2. In a ceramic or glass tea cup blend the oils separately into the glycerine. Stir slowly for about 1 -2 minutes

3.) Blend all of this together, mix well, and store in a recycled shampoo bottle.

Use this like you would any shampoo. Wet your pet’s coat, apply and massage well leaving on for 10 minutes for maximum effect, then rinse completely out of fur.

At All Creatures Great & Small veterinary clinics, I have been making shampoos for pets since 1982.”in the back room” so to speak. Developing the right formula can be a very complicated process from “scratch”. In the process of discovering the best way to make shampoos for pets, I have grown herbs, hunted them in the forests to collect them and have taken them back to my clinic mashing them up into extracts.

Why not just buy something from your vet or pet store? …because most of the pet shampoos on the market for pets contain harmful substances that may be toxic to your pets when used frequently. These toxins may absorb through your skin and cause you harm as well.

Following my simple shampoo recipes will be rewarding for you and your pet because they contain safe & effective ingredients. They feel and smell good and will promote a healthy coat without over drying the skin. They are nutritious to hair follicles, and will help keep your pets clean and parasite free.

I recommend bathing dogs once a week and cats every 2 weeks, although dogs with severe parasite problems may need bathing every 3-4 days.

It should be noted that some people are sensitive to these types of oils and should wear gloves; although, most people should just rinse their hands well after shampooing their pet. Those few who are extremely sensitive to essential oils can use tobacco tea* as an alternative. Stay tuned for recipes in future newsletters.

* To make “tobacco tea” : Buy one package of cheap roll tobacco such as TOPS, and soak it in 4oz of witch hazel for 3 days. Strain out the loose tobacco (put that into your compost) and add to the above recipe.

MORE ON MERCURY:
Excerpts from an article by John moore, leading expert on mercury contamination.

The Mercury problem is insidious, and destructive to our environment, our pets, and us. Unfortunately, the contamination of our Earth from mercury is increasing, and so is the absorption of this toxic metal into our nervous system and brain. Mercury is becoming a major health risk for your animals and YOU!

We don’t want to hear more “bad news” about our health situation, but if we become unconscious to the situation like the Ancient Romans who had their drinking water pipes made from Lead……brain damage will become rampant and affect our society. Seems like we have enough crazy people in the world already!

Eating Fish & Mercury
Recently, I had a high energy discussion with one of my relatives about the perils of eating too much fish. “Fish is my major source of protein…..everything else has either hormones, pesticides or antibiotics……now I hear fish is worse than I thought……so what the heck can I EAT for protein?”

This person became angry with me for telling her the truth……or rather more truths about the increasing problem mercury poisoning….and how it is becoming to cause illness in more and more people and animals.

I said, “Don’t get Angry at me……for the bad news…. Being aware and conscious about the issues…may save your Life!”

I told her to transform her Anger into power, for action, or solutions to the environmental problems that face our Civilization and challenge our survival.”

The FDA is recommending that women who are pregnant not eat more than 7 oz of fish per week. Why? Because if the fish have mercury in the meat, this mercury will affect the nervous and brain tissue development.

The Environment
What is causing the increase of mercury in our environment…? Mostly, mercury comes via the air and rain that has been polluted by Industrial companies, and Power plants using coal and fossil burning fuel. Our explosion of population world-wide, creates more demand for products, and electricity…. This demand for cheap products (plastics), “fuels” more industry located in countries with poor environmental standards.

There is a “cost” or a “side-effect” to a civilization focused on consuming…..
Bigger houses, more plastic toys, computers, more cars, dvds, bigger trucks…and higher quantity of income all contribute to the problem. In our pursuit for happiness, we are buying more and more stuff to fill the void inside of ourselves that is trying to “fill” a deep loneliness.

The “consumerating” and disposable minded society we live in perpetuates the myth that buying “things” will make us happy. The result is a lot of WASTE in the air, in our homes, and in our garbage dumps….and A LOT more POLLUTION in the World….

Some of this pollution comes down from the air…..100’s or 1,000’s of miles from the source… acids, gases turned liquid, and heavy metals are spread throughout the world and pollution our streams, rivers, lakes, and Oceans. That is why……no matter where your fish comes from……they will have some amount of MERCURY in them.

Locally caught fish (in Hawaii) seems less contaminated than other places around the world. Fish caught near and around Kauai seem to have less pollution in their fish. But this may change if the Navy continues to expand their base at Barking Sands, and their missile programs. Fish from the Big Island may have more contaminants, due to volcanic toxins flowing into the ocean from the Kilauea volcano.

After reading an article by John Moore, I was surprised to find out other sources of mercury that I had not considered.

The Amalgam Connection
John Moore one of the leading researchers in the world about mercury and dentistry was interviewed in an agricultural publication last month in Acres USA. “Since John More almost died from mercury poisoning in 1974, that highly toxic element has haunted the man. He was and is an industrial engineer, at one time working with the Boeing Company. His health was going downhill. His doctors did not know why he
had memory loss, overwhelming fatigue, emotional upheavals, behavioral changes.”
He discovered the problem to be his amalgam fillings breaking down and emitting mercury gases, which affected his brain and nervous system. In the article, he shared his pictures of his teeth giving off mercury vapors.

Mercury vaporizes very easily i.e., turns from a metal into a gas, starting at 50 below zero Fahrenheit. Your mouth is about 98.9 degrees F. It is very conceivable his old and faulty amalgams were leaking mercury gases into his brain…….through the blood stream and from inhaling vapors when getting dental work. ( When you remove amalgams and replace them with composite fillings, a lot of mercury is leaked into your body at the time)

You may want to consider having a dentist (who is holistically oriented) check your fillings and perhaps replace them with coral or other non-mercury fillings. These may create more dentistry bills for you, but I had all my fillings replaced over a 2 year period, and I feel a lot better myself.

But what about all the mercury that has leaked into your body from removing the amalgams? Well a Japanese researcher, Dr. Omura, has discovered that cilantro, Chinese parsley, is great for removing mercury from your heart, lungs, and liver. To accomplish this detox you have to eat 1 cup of cilantro three times a day for 2 weeks after your dental appointment.

Other Sources of MERCURY

I. Vaccines….that use thimersole as a preservative. There are many people as well as physicians and naturopathic doctors who are linking this mercury to Autism in children…..which is increasing every year with no other explanation from the conventional medical community. Ask your doctor for a vaccine FREE OF thimersole for you , your kids, and your pets!

II. Plastics / mercury is used as a preservative to improve longevity of the material.
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun will break-down the plastic causing a release of mercury gases.

• New cars………..give off gases from the plastic seats, especially in hot weather….in overheated cars…….the reason you may have a thick film on the inside windshield…..is from mercury gas vapors. Always……..open your car windows and air out your cars….if they have been sitting in the heat of the day……to rid your car of toxic fumes. This is especially true of new cars.

III. Coal fire and fossil fuel power plants (we have one on Kauai) seep mercury into our air. From the air, the mercury falls in rain showers contaminating our rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans.

IV. Fungicides. Farmers use fungicides that contain mercury compounds so your wines, and grapes, citrus and vegetables MAY contain mercury.

V. Florescent Light Bulbs

VI. Gold Mines…………mercury precipitates the gold, then is flushed into rivers and streams.

VII. Treated vegetable seeds. (Read your labels…..you may not want to plant them and then have to eat the mercury)

VIII. Fish: ocean fish such as Shark, sword fish, ono, and tuna, most lake fish found in large lakes and rivers where factories are located. When buying canned tuna, always buy the “light meat” variety. It contains less mercury than either white or dark meat.,

What to do...

Avoid Exposure. Take oral chelating agents (see this website: www.vrp.com ) before and during exposure and eat plenty of fresh cilantro daily when ever:

• You eat Fish
• You are Vaccinated
• Or clean up broken florescent lamps
• You are exposing your self to pesticides and fungicides

FISH EATING/ HEALTH IN LEIU OF CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION

Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2003 Dec;38(3):336-44. Health benefits and
potential risks related to consumption of fish or fish oil. Sidhu KS.

The nutritional benefits of fish consumption relate to the utilization of
proteins of high biological value, as well as certain minerals and vitamins
that fish provide. Fish or fish oil contains omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFAs) that appear to play several useful roles for human health.
Conversely, some carcinogenic contaminants are also stored in the adipose
tissue of fish. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential
health benefits and risks related to the consumption of fish or fish oil.
Health benefits related to the consumption of fish or omega-3 PUFAs were
obtained by an extensive literature search. Potential health risks related
to carcinogenic contaminants (e.g., dioxin, PCB, etc.) in fish were
estimated using the U.S. EPA-approved cancer risk assessment guidelines.
Potential health risk estimates were evaluated by comparing them with the
acceptable excess risk level of 10(-6)-10(-4). Scientific data indicate that
the consumption of fish or fish oil containing omega-3 PUFAs reduces the
risk of coronary heart disease, decreases mild hypertension, and prevents
certain cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. Risk estimates in humans for
carcinogenic environmental contaminants in fish ranged from an excess risk
level of 3x10(-6)-9x10(-4). These risk estimates appeared to meet the
acceptable excess risk level criteria. Therefore, consumption of fish in
accordance with the State of Michigan Fish Advisory Guidelines is safe and
should be encouraged. The top 11 fish species [e.g., sardines, mackerel,
herring (Atlantic and Pacific), lake trout, salmon (Chinook, Atlantic, and
Sockeye), anchovy (European), sablefish, and bluefish] provide an adequate
amount of omega-3 PUFAs (2.7-7.5g/meal) and appear to meet the nutritional
recommendation of the American Heart Association.

Drug Company Chief Acknowledges that many prescribed drugs do not work.
Taken from an article by Steve Connor, Science Editor 08 December 2003

“A senior executive with Britain's biggest drugs company has
admitted that most prescription medicines do not work on most people who
take them.”

“Allen Roses, worldwide vice-president of genetics at GlaxoSmithKline
(GSK), said fewer than half of the patients prescribed some of the most
expensive drugs actually derived any benefit from them.”

This may be true with animals too, where many of these drugs cause serious side-effects when used routinely for long periods of time.
“It is an open secret within the drug industry that most of its products are
ineffective in most patients but this is the first time that such a senior
drugs boss has gone public.”

His comments come days after it was acknowledge in Britain, that drug bills have soared 50% just in the past 3 years!

Dr Roses, an academic geneticist from Duke University in North Carolina,
spoke at a recent scientific meeting in London where he cited figures on how
well different classes of drugs work in real patients.

“Drugs for Alzheimer's disease work in fewer than one in three patients,
whereas, those for cancer are only effective in a quarter of patients. Drugs
for migraines, for osteoporosis, and arthritis work in about half the patients,”
Dr Roses said. “Most drugs work in fewer than one in two patients mainly because
the recipients carry genes that interfere in some way with the medicine,” he
said.

"The vast majority of drugs - more than 90 per cent - only work in 30 or 50
per cent of the people," Dr Roses said. "I wouldn't say that most drugs
don't work. I would say that most drugs work in 30 to 50 per cent of people. Drugs
out there on the market work, but they don't work in everybody."

HEART HEALTH: BE PROACTIVE OR WAIT TILL SOMETHING HAPPENS?

Part III: How Herbs & Nutraceuticals can help to treat and prevent heart disease in animals.

Most veterinarians as well as human physicians have a wait and see attitude about heart disease. Unless there are symptoms such as coughing, this wait and see plan is all you will get from your conventional veterinarian.

Before we can tell you what and how to use herbs and nutraceuticals for your pet’s heart health, we must first explain how they work. Some veterinarians will say that everything your pet needs is in commercial canned or dry food. But this is not totally true.

A vitamin or supplement may be listed on the bag’s label, but there is no guarantee that it will be absorbed properly, nor does it mean “therapeutic” levels are present in each meal. (IF, commercial food was made from wholesome quality ingredients, the companies would not have to ADD all these minerals and amino acids to the bag or can!)

Many of the vitamins and minerals found in dog foods are from “cheap” sources which may look impressive on the label, but may be useless to your pets. The following information has been compiled from clinical research in humans and animals..

VITAMINS

Let’s begin the discussion with the essential vitamins for Heart Health.
Vitamins A, E, C and beta-carotene may be protective against cardiac necrosis and oxidative stress and might be beneficial in preventing complications and cardiac events in myocardial infarction patients.

One study showed that a combination of vitamins A, E, C and beta-carotene given within a few hours of symptoms of an acute myocardial infarction could be associated with a significant reduction in total cardiac end points including total cardiac death and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction. Besides vitamin C's direct affect at quenching reactive-damaging free radicals, it has been shown to regenerate reduced tocopherol (tocopheroxyl radical) which provides high levels of vitamin E in the tissues.
What this means in “English”……….. Vit A,E,C prevent complications of heart disease by decreasing stress from lack of oxygen, and the subsequent death of heart cells and tissue.

If an animal is obese, “out of shape”, a “couch potato”, does not regularly exercise, or has “parents” with a history of heart disease; supplementing with Vit C and E is the least one should do to help decrease stress on the heart. If your dog is a hunting dog, or is very active with running or racing, these animals could benefit from Vitamins to prevent breakdown of heart cells during strenuous exercise.

In human medicine, much research is being directed at investigating vitamins B1 & B 6 for lowering cholesterol, plaque formation in the coronary arteries, and lowering blood pressure. Although most dogs do not have this problem, some of their owners do.

THE AMINO ACIDS: L- CARNITINE & TAURINE

L-carnitine will improve heart function directly by supporting the transport of long chain fatty acids to beta-oxidation sites within the mitochondria. The Mitochondria is the “battery” of the cell, and L-carnitine is needed to “charge it” back up to normal, by providing the biochemicals necessary for cell health.

Some canine dilated cardio-myopathies due to unknown causes may have direct correlation to deficiencies of taurine and L- carnitine. Certain breeds are more susceptible to developing this disease than others.

Research on families of boxers with dilated cardiomyopathy discovered that all dogs had decreased concentrations of myocardial L-carnitine when compared to control groups. Supplementing the diet with L-carnitine improved cardiac function, heart rate, and exercise tolerance, and decreased cardiac necrosis and will benefit dogs (and cats) with cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure…improving survivability. When these improved dogs were deprived of L-carnitine, cardiac dysfunction returned. Tissue and cellular damages that occur in cardiomyopathy are characteristic of oxidative stress.

Because of the low amounts of carnitine & taurine in commercial dog and cat foods…….many animals have come down with cardiomyopathies………..”flabby” enlarged hearts from eating these foods. It is only in the past few years that commercial companies are adding Taurine to their foods.

Taurine is a non-protein amino acid obtained through the diet as a free amino acid. Taurine is absent from the vegan diet. It is formed in the body as an end product of the decarboxylation of cysteine and hypotaurine. Taurine has antioxidant properties, lowers blood pressure, reduces blood cholesterol levels and reduces platelet aggregation. As an antioxidant, it functions by decreasing the levels of lipid peroxides which cause free radical damage to the myocardium

A lack of taurine in the diet will create cardiomyopathy in cats and dogs, especially in the Doberman pincher, Portuguese water dog, American cocker spaniel, and Irish wolfhound. It is extremely important in maintaining heart health. Cardiomyopathy has become a common occurrence because most commercially based diets are deficient in taurine. Taurine deficiency is associated with feline central retinal degeneration, reproductive failure, developmental abnormalities, dilated cardiomyopathy and compromised immune function.

Naturally occurring sources of taurine include animal products, especially fish. It should be noted that cats fed a commercially canned diet have a requirement for taurine that is almost twice as high as those fed a commercially dry diet. Why? Dry food has a lot of fillers, especially corn and soy, and is thus cheaper to product.

Feline diets should contain at least 1,000-1,200 mg taurine per kg of diet, and canned commercial diets should contain at least 2,000 to 2,500 mg per kg diet on a dry matter basis.

Normally present in heart muscle, taurine can be supplemented by either feeding dogs & cats a diet of cooked or raw beef heart daily, or giving a pure amino acid product.

Supplementation could eliminate occurrence, and decrease pathological changes in animals already with nutritionally related heart disease.

The survival rates of any dog or cat with cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure will greatly improve with the supplementation of a combination of L-carnitine and taurine.

The current National Research Council recommendation for adequate taurine in cats' diets is 400 mg per kg in dry food; to prevent dilated cardiomyopathy, dry cat food must supply 1,000 mg/kg of taurine in the diet, which is a two to threefold increase over the National Resource Council requirements. Taurine levels below 20 nmol/ml are a risk factor for cardiomyopathy and retinal degeneration. Oral replacement of taurine should be 250 mgs, given twice a day.

The following is a list of FOOD choices that you can integrate into your dog or cats diet to prevent disease and maintain healthy hearts in your pets:

SUPPLEMENT FOOD SOURCE

Vit B 1

Brewer’s yeast

Vit B 12
Lamb or beef liver

Vit B 6
Torula or brewer’s yeast

Folic acid
Brewer’s yeast, liver, wheat-germ

Vit A
Liver, carrots, kale, sweet potatoes, turnip greens, collard greens, parsley

Vit E (d-alpha-tocopherol)
Wheat germ oil, sunflower oil 2 iu/lb/bdwt

Vit C

Papaya, dandelion greens, red bell peppers, kale

L-carnitine
Beef heart, liver

Taurine
Beef heart, liver, kidneys

Coenzyme Q 10
Raw organ meats

Magnesium
Kelp, wheat bran or germ/ Blackstrap molasses

Selenium
Herring, smelts, wheat germ, apple cider vinegar, butter, scallops, barley, red swiss chard, oats

Potassium
Turnip greens, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, beef liver, KELP

Omega –3
Avocados, cold water fish: sardines, cod, blue fin TUNA, salmon, mackerel, oil supplements

The easiest way to administer all these supplements……….(too many pills!) is to give your dogs with cardiac problems CARDIAC SUPPORT by Genesis/Resources. It consists of amino acids, minerals. Herbs, and vitamins to help your dog’s heart condition improve by providing the necessary nutrients to support healing. CARDIAC SUPPORT can be safely used with any cardiac medication your veterinarian may prescribe.

Please inform your veterinarian that you are using this supplement and if he or she has any questions they can E-mail me personally, or call me at: 808-822-4229

I want to conclude this article with these thoughts:

Heart disease can be prevented with supplements, a wholesome healthy diet, daily exercise, and proper breeding of dogs and cats.

Commercial diets may contribute to heart disease due: heavy metal contaminants, rancid fats, pesticides, and minerals that are not well absorbed. They also lack quality ingredients that would include amino acids.

Give you dog Cardiovascular Support by Genesis if your pet has cardiomyopathy, chronic congestive heart, heart murmurs, cardiomyopathy, and inherited heart disease, or schedule a phone consultation with me.
