Vitamin C packs a powerful punch for the immune system, collagen thickness (in joints and skin) and also resistance to infections.
It speeds skin-recovery. Check out a Google of "Linus Pauling Ascorbic Acid"
How to use it?
Buy Vitamin C wherever you'd get "people" Vitamin C also known as Ascorbate.
At first, Vitamin C is 'acidic' and if you start with too much at one time, it can upset the stomach. I've never encountered this in a dog so far.
Start low.
A 40 pound dog might get 250mg twice a day for a few days.
If that's fine, increase to 500mg twice a day.
The goal is a gram, (1000mg) or more once or twice a day.

Even a way to use the powdered Vitamin C even though I prefer the capsules. I was trying to use powdered vitamin C for myself and it's too tangy.
This has super economy because EACH tablet is 1000mg - instead of "Serving Size 2 tablets = 1000mg"
They're tangy. So....I swallow them with water but a dog shouldn't mind in a dab of peanut butter. Or broken up in a little canned food or even popped down their throat.
This is from Amazon. It's the best deal on Vitamin C.
Oxyfresh has been around a VERY long time and still hasn't been surpassed. I love the water additive. I recommend it's made fresh daily with distilled water, and for bad mouths - double strength. Always safe. this will NOT dissolve tartar but it will kill germs, reduce pus and infection and keep teeth from getting "bad" if they're not already. Kit includes gel and brushes. |

Sporn Dog Halter STOPS "pulling and tugging" NOW. (Link)This is what I use now, with my dog Ajax. I used to use the Gentle Leader, but I didn't like including his face in the thing. Now, this just goes around his chest and he DOES NOT PULL ANY MORE. It's great! Amazon.com has it. |
Labra Dog Canine K9 Knee Stifle Brace Wrap Metal Hinged Flexible Support Treat ACL CCL Luxating Patella Cruciate Ligament Sprain Strain Tear Injuries I couldn't get behind these until this one came out. It has a strap that keeps the thing from sliding down. THAT strap has a strap that keeps the thing from rolling down off the dog's rump. And the whole thing does NOT wrap around his weiner area (which would have been fine for a female dog of course) so this one has THREE key engineering points. Buy the proper knee brace and put it on tight! |
