Pawz Dog Boots- Multi Uses!

Pawz Dog Boots are a great multi use dog shoe. These disposable dog booties come in pack of 12 and can be used many times before having to get thrown away. They come in many different sizes and will fit any breed of dog.

Pawz Disposable Boots are good for for many different aspects of your dog's life. If your dog is allergic to the grass or other substances outside, wearing the pawz will make it so they can enjoy outside more! Another time that pawz are useful is during the winter when ice melt has been spilled on the side walk. This can be dangerous for dogs if they were to lick their paws after their walk, but with the pawz, the chemicals stay on the boot and not your dog's paws. Lastly, another reason why pawz are useful are for that aging dog that has trouble getting up on a wooden floor, have them wear the pawz shoe and they will get the extra traction they need.

Pawz shoes are 100% biodegradable, reusable, and made to fit like socks so your dog will readily accept them!

Apple Cider Vinegar for Dogs

Apple Cider Vinegar is very good for your dog (and cat).

The first thing that apple cider vinegar (ACV) does for your dog is to keep their coat super shiny. By adding 1 tsp. to their water it will keep their fur healthy looking. ACV is high in potassium, a mineral that maintains the health of hair follicles.

It also works as a deterrent to fleas, naturally!

FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine Alerts Veterinarians About Problems with Vetsulin® to Treat Diabetes in Dogs and Cats

The Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) and Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health are alerting veterinarians and pet owners that Vetsulin®, a porcine insulin zinc suspension used to treat diabetes in animals, may have varying amounts of crystalline zinc insulin in the formulation. Because this Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health product is out of specification it could cause a delay in insulin action and an overall longer duration of insulin activity. Products having significant problems with stability can affect the management of chronic diseases. Unstable insulin products can result in unpredictable fluctuations in the glucose levels of diabetic patients. Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health is unable to assure FDA that each batch of their product is stable.
FDA and Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health request that veterinarians closely monitor their patients receiving Vetsulin® for any changes in onset or duration of activity, or for any signs of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The classic signs of hyperglycemia include increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss and lethargy. The classic signs of hypoglycemia would include disorientation, unsteadiness, weakness, lethargy, and seizures.
While Intervet/Schering-Plough is working with FDA on resolving this issue, supplies may be limited. Therefore, veterinarians should consider transitioning their diabetic patients to other insulin products. In addition, FDA encourages veterinarians to report any adverse events with the Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health product to the company through the Technical Services Department at 1-800-224-5318.
