- We use Basic-H and Basic G daily here at the farm. Basic G great for power spraying the dog kennels, barn aisles and for keeping
the bathroom and wash room clean. Basic-H Classic is used to prevent algae in the horses' water tubs, make fly spray, clean windows and tack, and many other things.

Check out Mesa Vista Farm's  therapeutic riding among
other things.

For daily shampoo, we drop one capful Basic H Classic into two gallons warm water. Their coats are cleaner, they aren't bothered by mosquitoes and they're less susceptible
to fungus infections. Flies appear to stay about 18" to 24" away from a horse who's been bathed in Basic H Classic.

When turning a horse out into a paddock or field, we mix a quart Basic H Classic to 3 parts water and spray the entire animal. It controls flies and mosquitoes all day.

Vet - A two year old male German Shepherd with terrible allergies was a client.

The owner took him to an allergist who ruled out mange and skin tested him for allergies. He was allergic to the world. For six months, he received allergy injections every three days but was getting worse. I suggested a
Shaklee vitamin program. He rarely itches now and his owners are extremely happy.

When the dog was boarded at a kennel, staff wasn't diligent about giving him his supplements. He was an itchy mess when he got home. His owners put him back on the supplements, increasing the Alfalfa. In three days, he was back to normal.

That proved to them the Shaklee supplements were helping.

- This is a personal testimonial about the wonderful Basic-G germicidal cleaner. Two employees at my clinic were very sensitive to chemical odors. When we began using Basic-G, there were no more complaints of headaches from chemical fumes. Basic-G is also a great cleaner.

The kennel help finds it removes dried blood better than any product we have used.

The clinic also uses Basic-G in the mop buckets to disinfect the floors throughout the day.

I personally use Basic-H Classic to wash my hands between patients. In the past my
hands have been dry, red, and cracked from washing with harsh soaps. Basic-H Classic doesn't strip the natural protective coating from one's skin. The dry, cracked skin has healed.

I've been using Shaklee's nutritional products to help animals with allergies
and hip dysplasia and have been happy with the results. I've been using Osteokinetics now called OsteoMatrix to help dogs with osteoarthritis with good results. It's the best glucosamine product on the market, and is less expensive than any comparable veterinary product. It's worked better than I expected in dogs with hip dysplasia.

The recommended dose of Ostcokinetines now called OsteoMatrix for dogs is as follows:
Less than 25 Ibs - 1 X day,
25 to 50 Ibs - 1 - 2 X day, 
50 Ibs and over - 2 AM, 1 PM. Contributed by

DOGS For Worms:
Apply 2 drops Basic H Classic for every ten pounds of the dogs weight on their feed for one week. Repeat this application every 3 months. You may put it in a spray bottle with a little water and spray it over the dogs food.
