Proden PlaqueOff

Vickie shared this…

Purchased a small bottle of this stuff on October 18th …

Started using it immediately on the dogs … 1/2 scoop (it’s a *very* small scoop) daily.

Frankers no longer has doggy breath and the tartar that all three had can now be easily scraped off with a fingernail.  Some teeth have cleaned themselves just with regular chewing of their kibble.

Paid $22 for a bottle that’s supposed to last one small dog a year so three dogs = $66 a year … less than half the price of one basic dental (no bloodwork or extractions). 

I’m sold!!  I’ll also be telling my vet about it next time we go in as she’s seen all of them at one time or another for their teeth.

WHAT IS PLAQUE OFF?

ProDen PLAQUEOFF? is a natural product that counteracts plaque on the surface of the teeth. A few years ago Swedish dentist Sune Wikner had a patient whom he regularly treated for tartar. The patient moved, but kept Dr. Wikner as his dentist. On his first visit after he had moved, Dr. Wikner found that this patient had no tartar at all. Dr. Wikner, who has also pursued studies in diet and nutrition, concluded that there must be something the patient was eating that was preventing him from getting tartar on his teeth. Eventually, by process of elimination, he made the discovery that a particular seasoning in the salads that his patient was eating regularly must be that “something”. After many tests and trials, Dr. Wikner evolved the prescription for “the cure”, and thus was born ProDen PLAQUEOFF?. The effects have since been confirmed in several separate scientific studies.

Itchy dog feet…

I think Kathy’s comment under Trick or Treat deserves attention, so I’m reposting it here. Here’s her question: 

Please, could you offer some advice on itchy dog feet?  When the 3 amigos paws are vet checked, they are treated for yeast or allergy.  It isn’t bacterial.  But the problem keeps returning…is there something I can add to their diet or a safe, home remedy topical treatment?
Thanks a million!

Let’s talk grooming…

I got the following inquiry and thought it would be a great opportunity to further build out the grooming page on the website. I often overlook the very obvious, so would appreciate input from you bloggers. What advice do you have for Tina?

Hi my name is Tina and I have two Lhasa’s.  One is ten monthes and I have his half sister who is five months old.  I have every intention on growing thier natural coat out.  I have a grooming table and just about every brush or comb known to man, but I am a novice and don’t know anyone with a long haired Lhasa.  I have interviewed a bunch of local groomers and my husband would rather I just do it myself.  Do you have any words of advice or maybe some websites to check out on grooming?  thank you,  Tina

Dee Blanco teleconference classes

Katy sent this…

Dee Blanco is one of the vets that I consulted with when we first got Zeke. 

I’m pretty sure I have already heard what she has to say in these two conferences via the hour-long consultation I had with her; I doubt her position has changed.  But I thought you or some of the Apso Aficionados might be interested…
