Farm Storyz

- 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.

Horse Storyz

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.

How To Adminster Pills to Cats and Dogs (Submitted by Dog Lover)

CATS:
1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm, as if holding a baby.

Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks, while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

2) Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Throw soggy pill away.

3) Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten.

4) Retrieve cat from top of wardrobe. Call partner from garden.

5) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees. Ignore low growls
emitted by cat. Get partner to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

6) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Sweep shattered figurines and vases to side.

7) Get partner to wrap cat in large towel and hold with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open and blow.

8) Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans. Apply Band-Aid to partner's arm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and Basic-H.

9) Retreive cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band.

10) Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Find bottle of scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Check records for date of last tetanus shot. Throw tee-shirt away.

Get Rid of Pesky Flies!

When researching animalz and their Shaklee storiez for this website we found people raving about how a common household cleaner,  Shaklee's Basic H Classic, can be used to reduce or eradicate flies.

First understand that Basic H Classic is not a soap. It's a biodegradable surfactant, derived from the natural surfactants found in corn and coconut. Basic-H Classic is not soap or a detergent. Basic-H Classic is 100% organic, non-flammable, non-toxic, and non-irritating (a neutral pH the same as skin, about 6.5). Basic-H Classic is completely biodegradable, phosphate-free, non-volatile, and non-magnetic. The primary ingredients of Basic-H Classic will quickly convert within a few days to water and carbon dioxide when in contact with natural bacteria in water and soil.

Surfactants make water "wetter". But it really just means that it reduces the normal tension water has, and allows water to interact with other elements and minerals more effectively. Basic-H Classic is an effective cleaner because it lifts dirt and oil from surfaces and holds them in suspension so they can be wiped away.

How it affects flies and insects... it means they become more permeable. This means they have an aversion to Basic H Classic. Unlike many other solutions which contain chemical combinations, Basic H Classic is perfectly safe as it will break down over time.

Dog, Cat, Pets

- As an alternative to flea medications, many pet owners are turning to Shaklee products. We bathe our dogs in Basic H Classic (and sometimes cats ... but be careful .. they aren't as fond of this procedure as are dogs). Basic H Classic 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 Vitamins 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 Vitamin B and Garlic, or cover their exposed skin with full-strength Basic H Classic, they're not bothered by mosquitoes either.

Farm Storyz

Farm - On our farm I emphasize prevention. We love the Shaklee products because they are safe, non-toxic and they work! Basic H Classic and Basic G are my favorites. They clean and disinfect without hazardous fumes or residues. Our animals are healthy and happy.

Dogs/Cats - Get only Best Water to drink. Shampoo with Basic H Classic - 1/2 tsp and 2-3 drops Basic G to a gallon of water. Put solution in squeeze bottle. Go around neck first, soak that area so fleas will not run to ears, nose and eyes. Soak down the back then rest of body. Use in shower area or with a hand shower. Rinse well.

Basic H Classic takes shield off fleas so they drown. Basic G gets rid of germs and fungus. If an injury - Moisten area with spray bottle of water with 1/2 tsp Basic H Classic and 2 drops Basic G. Swab area with cloth or Q-tip. Some folks use diluted Softer Than Soft for soft fur.

Supplements - Vita-Lea or Infant Vita-Lea mixed in food. Vets agree supplements are smart.

Chickens/Rabbits/Ducks/Geese - Basic H Classic and Basic G for cleaning and disinfecting. Use it to hose down cages and pens and to clean water and food areas.

Cows - Basic H Classic and Basic G clean buckets and udders before and after milking.

Sheep/Goats - Spi-rtners love to wash wool with Basic H Classic. It's organic, safe, economical and it cuts grease. Clean rear area with Basic H Classic and Basic G to prevent fly problems. Clean navels with Basic H Classic and Basic G. It's safer, more effective and keeps flies away. Iodine burns flesh, stains and stings.

Pigs/Llamas - Pigs love to be clean! Use Basic H Classic and Basic G solution on a cloth to scrub pig's ears, wash llama's facerand scrub their bodies.

Pets - For wounds, prick Vitamin E capsules and rub Vitamin E oil on until healed.

Pets - For arthritis or stiffness, vet recommends 1 Osteokinetics now called OsteoMatrix 2 X day for month, 1 X day to maintain, (by weight - 500 mg per 40 Ibs.)

Did You Know...
The blue whale is the largest creature that has ever lived on earth. It tips the scales at a whopping 170 tons - that's the same as about 22 elephants. Its heart is the size of a small car, and its largest blood vessels are wide enough for an adult to swim through without much difficulty.

Dog Storyz

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.

A bird called the great tit produces its waste in enclosed sacs that it later removes from its nest. The average great tit removes approximately 500 sacs of manure from its nest each week.

Vet Storyz

- 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
