Hi to you Friend,

My supplements, Ultimate Feline and Ultimate Canine contain Vitamin C- a few readers commented that they had been told that Dogs and Cats DON'T need additional Vitamin C... or that the Vitamin C was harming their pet..

So what is the deal with Vitamin C???

Vitamin C is the body's primary water-soluble antioxidant, which makes
it an important weapon in the immune system's arsenal against bacteria
and viruses. It also helps protect unsaturated fatty acids, and the fat-
soluble vitamins A and E from being oxidized, therefore protecting their
potency. Since your pet can't manufacture it, vitamin C must be obtained
through diet and supplementation.

A protective vitamin essential to over-all body health, vitamin C is
especially important for neutralizing free radicals. 

It also:

Helps in the production of collagen, and maintaining healthy skin
Promotes the healing of wounds, scar tissue, fractures
Strengthens  blood vessels
Helps the body utilize iron and folic acid
Supports the thymus gland
Enhances T-cell production, increasing resistance to viral and
bacterial infections, and some allergies

BUT..In a few select diseases, you SHOULDN'T use Vitamin C
Most of the time, and for most pets, it is a GREAT supplement.

In fact my dogs Lewis and Jessie, and my cats, Cleo and Gussie get a combination supplement that includes Vitamin C.

It's in my supplement, which many dog and cat owners are getting wonderful results with. You can get your 50% OFF trial bottle here:

The one SPECIFIC case you shouldn't use it is for
Calcium Oxalate Stones in dogs and cats.

These are an UNUSUAL type of crystal, which form
in acidic urine. If your pet is to ever have
oxalate stones, then you want to employ other
methods of healing.


But I feel that it is important that you are
ALL clear about this condition, and EXACTLY what you
should do if it happens.

Here are my TOP SOLUTIONS:


DIET

Prevention centers on creating a urinary environment with minimal
calcium and minimal oxalate as well as creating a urine pH that
is not conducive to calcium oxalate formation.

What to eat..

High Quality but Low Protein diet, as High Protein produces elevated
levels of oxalates.

There are specifically formulated veterinaru diets..I have one
in my clinic for dogs which is Vegetarian..IN this case ONLY I
advise using that diet.

What to Avoid..

OXALATES

Vegetables ~ beets, eggplant, leeks, sweet potatoes, okra, pepper
Greens ~ green beans or peppers, beets, celery, collards, eggplant,
parsley, spinach, Swiss chard, chives, endive, kale, leeks, okra,
rutagbega, summer squash, sweet potatoes, tomatoes
Legumes ~ beans, soy products including tofu
Grains ~ wheat germ
Nuts ~ all
Seeds ~ sesame and tahini
Fruit ~ berries, currants, concord grapes, figs, rhubarb, lemon,
lime, plums, tangerines.


WATER

Water intake is the most important factor in preventing kidney stones.
The additional fluid flushes the bladder,
and doesn't allow these stones to form.


POTASSIUM CITRATE

By taking potassium citrate orally, citrate levels increase in the urine.
Calcium binds to citrate instead of to oxalate which is a desirable
event since calcium citrate tends to stay dissolved whereas calcium
oxalate tends to precipitate out as mineral deposit. Potassium citrate
also helps create an alkaline urine (in which calcium oxalate stones
have difficulty forming). Potassium citrate supplements are typically
given twice a day.



P.S. For 95% of the dogs and cats my supplement is more than appropiate- I feel it could really make a BIG difference in the health of your pet.

BUT you need to try it first.

Take the 30 day challenge. And get your first bottle for 50% OFF.
