Canine Parvovirus

Basic G has been tested and proven effective in killing the canine parvovirus. It has been registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a disinfectant for use in animal residence areas. After initial use, Basic G continues to work for three days compared with household bleaches that lose effectiveness in one hour.

Basic-G® Concentrated Germicide

Tough on Germs Bacteria, fungi, and viruses can wreak havoc on your family's health and safety. Used as directed, Basic-G tackles over 40 of these pesky microbes, including several animal viruses. That makes it an excellent choice for use in the kitchen, bathroom, or pet area. In addition to being economical - one quart makes up to 64 gallons of disinfectant - it's also EPA registered.

Dog Fleas

- As an alternative to flea medications, many pet owners are
turning to Shaklee products. We bathe our dogs (and sometimes cats .. but be careful .. they aren't as fond of this procedure as are dogs) in Basic H Classic. It drowns the fleas and leaves skin and coat healthy and shiny plus it doesn't send poisons down the drain as do flea shampoos. We then give them B, C and Garlic which repel the fleas and mosquitoes (the carriers of heartworm). During mosquito season, we don't leave the dogs outside for long periods of time, especially at dusk when mosquitoes are particularly active. Humans report that when they take B and Garlic, or cover their exposed skin with full-strength Basic H Classic, they're not bothered by mosquitoes either, Contributed by Barbara and Hans Lagoni

Dog Joints

- Duke is our 12 year old, very loved, yellow Lab. In the past nine
months, his joints have gotten progressively stiffen Getting up and
down steps is difficult. In the morning, he could hardly get up. We started giving him 8 Alfalfa and 2 Osteokinetics per day.

After two months, he was going up and
down steps with ease and getting right up in the morning!

Within the last six months we also noticed he was panting from the slightest exertion. I started calling him the Pink Panter! This panting had nothing to do with his being hot or thirsty, he just panted all the time. He only stopped when he was asleep. We started giving him 1 Vita-Lea a day. After a few weeks, my husband commented, "Duke isn't panting anymore. It has to be the Vita-Lea!" It's amazing!

Thanks to Shaklee, I think we may be blessed with Duke for a few more wonderful years.

Dog Allergies

- My two dogs, a Lab and a Shepherd, both suffered from seasonal
allergies just like humans. It meant trips to the vet for Prednisone and cream for the inflammation between their pads, sore ears and other symptoms.

I decided to try Alfalfa. It worked! We've not been back to the vet for this problem. 1 give them 12 Alfalfa each night until the season is over. The Shepherd
eats them like candy. For the Lab, I have to put them in the back of his throat and stroke under his chin until he swallows. I use Multi-Purpose Cream to heal the soreness between the pads. All five dogs in our family love Lecithin. They bite the capsules and savor the taste. It keeps their coats and skin in such beautiful condition, their fur shines in the sun. Our Great Dane gets Cal-Mag to prevent brittle
bones.

Dog Scratch

- We adopted a long haired sheepdog from the pound. After bringing her home, we realized Heidi not only smelled awful but scratched night and day, creating bare, raw spots. Our vet prescribed a strong medicine that didn't work. What next? I decided to try Shaklee and created my own formula.

First, I mixed 3 drops Basic G in a 16 oz spray bottle of water and moistened her hair a couple times a day. Into her food, I mixed 2 Tbsp Protein, 8-1 0 Alfalfa and extra water.

Within a week, Heidi stopped scratching and smelled much better.

She became a healthy, beautiful animal who loved her Protein and Alfalfa. She wouldn't touch her food without it! Thanks to Shaklee, Heidi was a special blessing to our family for many years.

Dog - Bad Hip Problem

- Daisy, our pride and joy and most cuddle-able pet, slowly developed a bad hip problem. It got so bad she'd cringe and go down if you just touched her lower back. This is common in older dogs. I kept hoping it was a temporary thing but it just kept getting worse. I decided to start her on Alfalfa and we got a miracle! Within 2 weeks, she showed BIG results. Six weeks
later she's totally pain free. I rub her HARD where it used to just kill her and she feels nothing but the rub. She plays like a little puppy again with Emmy who's half her age.

Dog Iintestinal Problems

- Ginger, our adorable Miniature Dachshund, has suffered with intestinal problems.

She experienced weight loss, poor appetite and bloody, loose stools. After many vet visits and much medicine, there was no improvement.

Cindy Call gave us Optiflora for my husband's stomach problems.

He took the Optiflora and Peppermint-Ginger tea and by the next day had tremendous benefits. When I saw what it did for him I said, "Let's try it on Ginger." We put 1/4 tsp Optiflora powder on her food and gave her 4 Tbsp Peppermint-Ginger tea. Thirty-five days after using a daily dose of Optiflora and Peppermint-Ginger tea 3 X week, Ginger is doing great! Her coat looks healthier and her eyes are bright. She is once again enjoying her doggie treats.

Thanks be to God,

Dog Arthritis

- Our Cocker Spaniel, Buffy, 13, was/diagnosed with arthritis. He walked a mile a day with me until one day, in the middle of a walk, he wasn't able to stand. We had to take him home in the car. X-rays showed arthritis in his hip. The vet wanted us to start drugs he'd need for the rest of his life, and cautioned us they may have side effects. We decided to try Shaklee. Within days, he was walking and running. Six months later the doctor took more X-rays and couldn't believe his eyes. The arthritis was gone! Even his groomer is impressed with his beautiful coat and high energy. His Shaklee program includes:
AM - 1/2 tsp Liqui-Lea, 4 Alfalfa, I Cal-Mag, 1 ChewableC, 1 Osteokinetics now called OsteoMatrix, 1 tsp Vanilla Energizing Soy, 1 EPA and 1 CarotoMax. PM -4 Alfalfa and 1 Osteokinetics.

He loves his supplements and begs for some of our Protein drink. Our dogs know the difference between real food and drugs. When we give them medication, we have to hide it in some food. When we give them Shaklee supplements, they eat them up with no problem. In fact, they're usually standing there begging while we're taking ours.

Dog - Trouble Getting Up & Down the Stairs

- Kandi, our Shcltie, loved jumping up in bed with us in the morning and would chase our Greyhound and squirrels around the yard even though she was approaching nine. She began having trouble getting up and down the stairs and would wait for us to lift her up onto the bed. A visit to the vet confirmed Kandi had arthritis in her hips and shoulders. The vet said her condition would worsen until she would be unable to walk.

Like any parent, we didn't want to see our "kid" suffer. Since we enjoyed the wonderful benefits of Shaklee nutrition, we thought, "Why not?" As we gave Kandi Alfalfa for the arthritis, we discovered she preferred them to doggie treats.

After a week, she was limping less and chasing squirrels again. We added Cal-Mag, Vitamin C and Vitamin E to her food. She returned to her exuberant self. Whenever we rattled our vitamin bottles, she came running to get her treats! During her last years, she enjoyed life to the fullest and was able to run, jump and play, thanks to Shaklee. Her daily regimen: 5- 7 Alfalfa, 1 Vitamin C-Sustained Release, 3 Cal-Mag, 1 Vitamin E and anything that fell to the floor.

Dog Kennel Storyz

- Here at Sojak Kennels, we believe in Shaklee. Our Rotts get Shaklee. They take Energizing Soy Protein, Osteokinetics now called OsteoMatrix and Chewable C. I sprinkle the Energizing Soy Protein on their food and they gulp it down. They also get very excited for Chewable C.

Our Siberian Husky, Sir Ceasar, knew where the Shaklee drawer was and couldn't wait to get his vitamins. He lived to be 15.

We also used Shaklee nutrition for Jake, our Aussie, who had hip dysplasia. The doctors couldn't believe how he could run and play in the yard. He lived to be 12 and, until the end, could jump onto the bed and into the car.

Dog - Swollen Glands

- I noticed our yellow Lab, Lady Joy, had swollen glands in her neck. I thought it was due to an infection but they kept getting larger.

Two weeks later our vet diagnosed her with lymphoma. She was only five so our vet suggested we take her to the University of Illinois -vet school. Since my wife and I both take Shaklee supplements, we thought they might help her. I started Joy on 12 CarotoMax a day for 12 days. Her lymph glands started to shrink after 5 days. The vet at the U of I diagnosed her with T-cell lymphoma stage 3 and, suggested chemotherapy once a week since without it she had less than three months to live. Her vet said it was OK to try antioxidants. Chemo can cause loss of appetite, hair and energy. With the coaching of Mark Alan and others in Shaklee, Joy now takes more supplements than I do.

After only 10 sessions of chemo, her doctor says she's in complete remission. Joy is as active as ever, chasing squirrels, her coat has never been softer and she doesn't shed anymore. As for her appetite, she's always ready for chow. Joy takes her supplements twice a day with meals. I asked her vet if it's common for a dog suffering from T-cell lymphoma to go into complete remission so soon, he could only say it was very interesting. Thanks to God and Doctor Shaklee.

Joy receives the following supplements daily: 1 Vita-Lea 2X, 2 Vitamin C 2X, 2 Vitamin B 2X, 2 vitamin
E 2X, 2 Lecithin 2X, 2 EPA 2X, 2 Formula I 2X, 4 Alfalfa 2X, 1 Garlic 2X, 2 Herb-Lax 2X, 3 Cal-Mag 2X, 1 Cal Complex 2X, 3 CarotoMax 2X, 2 Tbsp Energizing Protein 2X, 1 Zinc in AM and 3 Liver DTX in AM.

Dog Ear Infections and Skin Infections

- Rusty, my son's Springer Spaniel, has been on antibiotics for ear infections or skin infections and daily low doses of Prednisone for the past few years. While he was with me fulltime, 1 switched him to a raw meat diet and decided to try Shaklee products. Improvement has been remarkable though gradual. His ears are clear, no longer puffy, red, itchy and smelly inside. His whole underbelly used to be covered with large, scabby sores that he licked and scratched
and now he gets only an occasional small, red pustule. His coat is gorgeous! I never knew what a healthy coat should look like and assumed his dry, frizzy fur was normal.

My customers remark on his healthy appearance and ask what I give him. He gets everything 1 would recommend for a person with severe allergies: daily he gets BestWater, Alfalfa, 2 Optiflora, 8 Garlic, 6 Formula I, 8 EPA, 4 GLA, 3 Liver DTX, and 1 Vitamin E. He eats all the capsules from my hand including the Liver DTX. He ate the Alfalfa from my hand for awhile but got tired of it since he gets 20 a day. Now I put it in his food. This is a very aggressive program because he'd been on medication so long. 1 plan to gradually cut back on amounts once he's stable.

Dog Yeast Infection

Snickers, 10, had a yeast infection in her ears most of her life.The vets gave her countless medications. She even had surgery to scrape the yeast out of her ears. My current vet said that was not a smart idea, as the surgery could make the yeast go deeper. Using Optiflora has cleared up her ears! She seems much happier. This is a miracle!

Dog Eyes

Schooner, 11, had developed a bluish haze over her eyes. Although I had no idea what it was, a customer said it was cataracts. I knew CarotoMax helped cataracts so 1 started feeding them to my dog. Sure enough, within a couple weeks the haze was gone. 1 feed her one CarotoMax a day, along with Vita-Lea, Vitamin E and Cinch Plan. She has not developed another cataract.

The protein in the Cinch Plan (her favorite) stopped her from shedding all over the house and made her fur soft.

Dog Respiratory Infection

- Amber, 6, was coughing and breathing very hard. I took her to the vet. He said she had a respiratory infection and gave her an antibiotic.

Despite trying other medicines, she got worse. X-rays showed her lungs were in bad condition. The vet wanted to send her to Ohio State to have her lungs flushed for analysis. I chose to bring her home and started her on large doses of Shaklee. She's 48 pounds. 1 started her on 1 Tbsp Liqui-Lea, 2 Cal-Mag, 2 Vitamin C, 1 Vitamin E, 1 Formula I and 4 Alfalfa 4 X day plus 1 Tbsp Protein daily. When I took her back to be X-rayed, her lungs were excellent. The vet asked me what I did, because as he put it, "Dog food alone would not have made her well." Her current program includes 1 tsp Liqui-Lea, 3 Alfalfa, 1 Vitamin C, 1 Cal-Mag and 1 Tbsp Protein.

Dog skin
problems

When we rescued Muffin, 4, a yellow Lab, she had terrible skin problems and allergies. She would chew her right paw and right hip until the fur was gone and she was bloody. The vet gave her a steroid shot. It worked temporarily but after the shot we had to give her pills that required a slow weaning process. As soon as she was off the steroids, the problems would resume and she'd start chewing herself bloody again.

After three months of this process the vet said, "These steroids can cause cancer. Let's try adding vitamins." So, we got the shot, the oral steroids AND bought dog vitamins from the vet. As soon as Muffin was off the oral medication, even WITH the dog vitamins, her problems recurred.

I, too, had suffered from allergies and had taken other brands of vitamins for 18 years before discovering Shaklee! When the dog vitamins didn't work, it made me remember that the vitamins I had been taking prior to Shaklee didn't work for me, either. I decided to try Shaklee on Muffin.

Nutrition Your Kids Will Love Filled with pure goodness, Vita-Lea Ocean Wonders is a kosher-certified chewable multivitamin for kids. It's packed with 19 essential nutrients and provides 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin C. Plus, Ocean Wonders now has more vitamin D - 600 IU per serving, that's 150% of the daily value! - as well as calcium, magnesium, and more to help support strong bones and a healthy body. With cool dolphin, sea horse, and fish designs in natural orange, grape, and mixed berry flavors, Vita-Lea Ocean Wonders is sure to be an ocean of fun. Just two a day and off they play!

Here's Muffin's daily program - half in AM, half in PM - 2 Children's Vita-Lea, 1 EPA, 1 Lecithin, 8 Alfalfa, 1 Chewable E. As some arthritis sets in at age 10, I added 2 Osteokinetics sprinkled on food.

After starting Muffin on Shaklee, she never had another flare-up of skin or allergy problems again. She lived 9 more very healthy years to the ripe old dog age of 13. The vet always commented on how healthy she was for a dog her age, especially considering what she'd been through when we first got her.

Dog - severe
megaesoph-
agus

- Cinnabun, our Miniature Dachshund, was diagnosed with severe megaesophagus (huge deformity of the esophagus) at 3 weeks old. Three vets told us to put her down as she would never live. Since food or liquid would not go into her stomach, she was constantly throwing up. A fourth vet told me-if I could keep her alive until she was full-grown, her body may adapt to the deformity. My son said, "You wouldn't kill us if we were handicapped."

So, it became our family project fo "keep this baby alive." Through a lot of TLC and Shaklee supplements , this sweet little dog is now 4 years old!

For a few months, 1 gave her a concoction of Physique, Protein, Infant Vita-Lea, Fiber Plan and Alfalfa in BestWater with an eyedropper. Every couple hours we would feed her then hold her upright so the liquid would go into her stomach and be absorbed into her bloodstream. We used BestWater to make dog food soggy, still adding the supplements and holding her upright. To this day, we hold her up and burp her like a baby after she eats or drinks. I'm convinced my natural concoction kept her alive until she was grown. Most animals don't survive this deformity. Thank you, Shaklee!

Dog Liver Disorder

arthritis - We have 3 dogs and all are on Shaklee. They get Alfalfa, and the 1 2 year old gets Osteokinetics. Our Lab with a liver disorder takes DTX and is off all meds with good blood levels. 1 mentioned to my vet that I give my guys Alfalfa.

Dog vs Skunk

Dog vs Skunk - My cousin called with a great Basic H Classic story.

His hunting dog had a face-off with a skunk.

The skunk won.

He tried every soap and lotion imaginable but nothing solved the odor problem. When he discovered a sample bottle of Basic H Classic and used it to bathe the dog, the odor simply disappeared.
Boy, was he excited!

Dog - Two Cruciate Ligament Operations

- Maggie, our 4 year old black Lab, had two cruciate ligament operations on her hind legs in one year. In addition to antibiotics, her surgeon gave us Osteo Basics, Osteo Blend and Rimadyl for pain. We were given special exercises to do with her leg. After-' all this, she was still in pain and limping. Our local vet prescribed more medication. The Rimadyl caused stomach problems.

While on the edication, she continued to limp and couldn't run, play hard or jump into the back of our van. When we'd go to our mountain home,
she couldn't go climbing and chasing with the other dogs without limping seriously and experiencing major pain.

I finally tried Osteokinetics. It has more glucosamine than Osteo Basics. I gave her the human dosage. In two weeks, Maggie was walking normally and 1 was able to take her off the Rimadyl. We've gone to the mountain house twice since she started on Osteokinetics. She runs with the other dogs and even goes climbing and exploring.

She no longer limps home. In fact, she doesn't limp at all. We have a much happier and pain-free dog, thanks to Osteokinetics.
