Natural Dog Products

Finding a natural pain relief for dogs is getting easier than in years past. A few months ago my dog was running up the stairs when his back went out. He was flat on his belly, all four legs straight out, he couldn’t get his feet back under him. He was whimpering and in obvious pain. I lifted him into the car and took off to his doctor’s office.

After x rays we found that Riley had a compressed disc in his back. I could see where it was because his back was slopping downwards with a little raised hump where the bad disc was. His doctor sent him home with prednisone to be taken for 3 weeks and recommended a visit with a chiropractor.

I’m 100% for alternative treatments but you have to understand the kind of dog Riley is. He is fearful and will not let anyone except me put their hands all over him without him being muzzled. He’s NOT a candidate for chiropratory.

I gave him a raw diet with lots of grass-fed beef and pasture raised chicken. He improved without needing any more treatments but he wasn’t completely out of pain. I wasn’t going to keep him on meds so I just kept a close eye on him and gave him supplements with omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine, chondroitin and cod liver oil. He improved but was not back to normal. His back and midsection would roll when he walked. It was like he didn’t know where to place his feet. (He did have some mild paralysis in his right front foot)

Two months ago I started researching a company that has drug free pain patches. I was looking for a human product because I have a frozen shoulder that is being stubborn with getting range of motion back. The patches worked better than I expected (I now have around 97% range of motion in my shoulder) so I decided to try them on Riley’s back. I could see the compressed disc because the little hump was still there. I patched him up and within 3 or 4 minutes his pain was visible eased. The humped spot was smaller and Riley was walking straight again. Was it a fluke? Could have been. Is it still working for Riley? Yep it is! Will it work for other dogs? I don’t know, what if it does? That would be so cool.

Riley doesn’t need the patch very often because the patches are stimulating his body the way acupuncture does. They are acupuncture patches with out needles. I don’t need them very often for my shoulder. I keep them in the medicine cabinet along side the band-aids for when anyone has a pain.

I was convinced these pain patches work so I am marketing the product for animals and their people! Note the patches are not “marketed” as a pet product through the company. I know what Riley’s results were. Always do your “Due diligence” on any product you purchase for you or your dog.
