Parasites and Your Pet For cats and dogs, a number of internal parasites will produce no visible symptoms at all - or at least not at first. Other parasites such as the tapeworm will usually be visible in the animal's feces and in the hair or on the skin around the anus. In some cases, apart from slight irritation, your pet may not be too concerned about a mild worm infestation. However, a number of internal parasites can be life-threatening. Some pets may even develop a hypersensitivity to worms, which can cause serious complications. The Natural Way When it comes to your pet's health, natural remedies are usually a good place to start. In the wild, animals will instinctively seek out therapeutic herbs to support their health and may roam far to find the herbs they need. However, domestic animals do not have access to a wide variety of therapeutic plants. In addition, pet lifestyles often resemble those of their owners, meaning that health is often compromised on a number of levels. It makes sense therefore that, as owners, we supplement the diets of our pets with herbs that will help to bring their systems into balance. Because domestic gardens usually cannot support the variety of plants our pets need, PetAlive® has therefore formulated a range of easy to use and effective natural remedies for pet health. Parasites are a fact of life and our bodies - and those of our pets - are host to a number of parasites and other organisms. This is quite normal. Given a healthy gut and immune system and access to certain plants, the animal body is designed to keep these parasites in check and ensure that they do not reach proportions that are harmful to health. However, domestication and modern diets have compromised the ability of our animals to maintain systemic balance in a number of areas and to sustain an environment which keeps parasites and other organisms in check. Although a number of conventional de-worming treatments are very effective, most, if not all, are chemically-based and may be harmful to your pet in the long-term. Continual de-worming with conventional products may also weaken your pet's immune system. Holistic practitioners recognize that the whole animal should be treated to maximize health and support balance in the system. Maintaining balance and integrity in the gut and throughout the system and supporting the natural cleansing and purifying mechanisms of the body will go a long way to keep our pets free of parasites. This is where natural remedies can play an important role. A combination of natural medicine, healthy diet and regular exercise is recommended to promote pet digestive health and integrity, keep immune systems functioning well and support the natural cleansing functions of the blood and digestive system. Parasite Dr.™ is a herbal remedy based on a holistic approach to health, helping to address symptoms of and effectively expel internal parasites, promoting natural detoxification while supporting overall digestive health and balance. It can make all the difference without the risk of serious side effects.

Individual ingredients are listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS). The Natural Way Animals in the wild instinctively seek out plants that are able to support their health in a number of body systems. As our domestic pets do not have the benefit of roaming freely in nature, they do not have access to the range of natural therapies that they need. As owners and guardians of our pets' health, it makes sense that we include natural remedies as part of the daily supplements. Natural remedies have a long history in the promotion of digestive health and balance, as well as the maintenance of firm, healthy stools. They can be very useful in maintaining normal fluid balance, and many plants have a "cooling" effect which can help to support the natural temperature regulation mechanisms in the body.

What is Hemp? Hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species, most commonly known as marijuana, that has been grown and cultivated for thousands of years. Cannabis is believed to be one of the oldest domesticated crops in the world. Hemp was cultivated for foods, oils and textiles, while marijuana was bred for its psychoactive properties and used for medical and religious purposes. What is CBD? CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is one of a class of compounds called cannabinoids that are found in cannabis plants and in the body. CBD is non-psychoactive, it will not get you, or your pet, high. Current research suggests that CBD can activate the serotonin receptor associated in biological and neurological processes with anxiety, pain, sleep, appetite, nausea and addiction. CBD is also known to bind with a vanilloid receptor known to mediate pain, inflammation and body temperature. Does This Product Contain THC? PetAlive® Full-Strength Hemp Extract uses a CO2 extraction process to completely remove the THC. All Native Remedies® Hemp products are third party lab tested so you can be assured of purity. THC is the cannabinoid credited with the marijuana high. THC is naturally occurring in the hemp plant in levels below 0.3%. If the THC level is above 0.3% the plant is classified as marijuana. Marijuana plants are bred specifically for their THC levels and may contain up to 30% THC. What are Cannabinoids? Cannabinoids are a diverse class of chemical compounds that occur naturally in the body and in cannabis plants. Cannabinoids found naturally in the body are call endocannabinoids and those found in plants are phytocannabinoids. Over 100 cannabinoids have been identified. Cannabinoids play an important role in the endocannabinoid system. All animals have an endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is also referred to as ECS. The ECS is a collection of cell receptors and molecules located throughout the body - brain, organs, connective tissue, glands and immune cells - with the goal of maintaining homeostasis, or optimal balance. The endocannabinoid system was discovered in the 1990's by researchers trying to understand the effects of marijuana and THC on the body. How Do Cannabinoids Work? Cannabinoids and their receptors work like a lock and key. The locks are the receptors CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are abundant in the central nervous system - the brain and nerves of the spinal cord. The CB2 receptors are found in immune cells, the gastrointestinal tract and the peripheral nervous system. Cannabinoid receptors play a significant role in regulating many bodily functions such as: Sleep. Appetite, Digestion and Hunger. Mood. Motor control. Immune Function. Reproduction and Fertility. Pleasure and Reward. Pain. Memory. Temperature regulation. Inflammation, including neuroinflammation. The keys to these locks, or receptors, are endocannabinoids. They tell your body when to start and stop these processes. Disruption of the system causes disfunction in some or all of the functions above. The body does produce some endocannabinoids, but they primarily come through food, especially omega-3 fatty acids. Along with the locks (receptors CB1 and CB2) and keys (endocannabinoids) enzymes play a big role in ECS function. Enzymes are the clean-up crew of the system. They breakdown leftover cannabinoids that haven"t found a receptor to bind with. Anandamide was the first cannabinoid to be discovered. It works on both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. It is critical for maintain a healthy central nervous system. It is also called the "Bliss" molecule and had a calming effect on the system. The FAAH enzyme breaks down anandamide and other endocannabinoids. It works quickly on your body's own endocannabinoids. CBD, a cannabinoid found in marijuana and hemp, stops the FAAH enzyme from breaking down anandamide, so it has more of an impact. Please check your state and local laws before purchase of CBD.

All PetAlive® products are manufactured in FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities. Symptoms of Digestive Upsets in Dogs & Cats Just like humans, our pets can be subject to the harmful effects of convenient processed diets, preservatives, and additives in food, environmental pollutants, or simply the stress of modern living. These factors can affect digestive functioning in pets, and can result in a number of digestive upsets or problems. One of the biggest problems causing digestive upsets can be diet choices. It often takes a little experimenting with high quality diets to find one that suits your pet's individual dietary and physical needs, but finding the correct diet could make the difference in your pet's digestive health. Table scraps can also be the source of the problem. Our pet's digestive systems are not able to handle many of the foods we eat, especially those high in additives, fat, and spices. In most cases, offering scraps to our pets should be avoided. Some pets can also have sensitive stomachs and digestive systems, which could make them prone to a number of digestive problems such as stomach inflammation, frequent vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, constipation, and bloating. Other Treatments for Symptoms of Digestive Upsets in Dogs & Cats Support your pet's digestive health with these tips: Dietary intolerance is a major cause of digestive upset in pets. Opt for high quality, balanced diets filled with unprocessed foods. If necessary, experiment with a few different diets to find one that best suits your pet's digestive system. Make sure your pet has plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Food and water bowls should be made from glass, ceramics, or stainless steel, and not plastic. Plastic is porous and can harbor bacteria. Bowls should also be washed regularly with hot water. Many pets refuse to eat if they are feeling ill. This natural fasting process gives your pet's digestive system time to rest and heal, so don't worry too much if your otherwise healthy pet skips a meal. If, however, your pet doesn't eat for 48 hours, or shows other symptoms of illness, then a trip to the vet is necessary. Certain foods, such as onions and chocolate, are toxic for pets and should never be given as treats. Other human foods can also cause digestive upsets, such as very spicy or rich foods. Avoid giving them scraps. Furballs can seriously disrupt the digestive system and cause a number of digestive complaints. It is therefore important to manage furballs if they bother your pet.

What is Natural Moves™ for Pets? Natural Moves™ for Pets is a 100% safe, non-addictive natural herbal remedy formulated to support bowel health in pets and to maintain healthy bowel and digestive functioning. Used occasionally when needed, or regularly for long term support, the ingredients of Natural Moves™ for Pets have the added benefit of supporting thyroid health, maintaining cholesterol within normal levels and encouraging healthy, strong skin and bones. All PetAlive® products are manufactured in a FDA-registered and cGMP-compliant pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of an expert team of herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. The importance of Bowel Health The colon is the organ in your pet's body used to get rid of waste, toxins and bacteria. It contains and moves waste materials throughout the body. In a healthy bowel, waste from ingested food moves through the bowel to be excreted in a regular bowel movement. When the waste materials become clogged inside the colon, constipation occurs. Because the colon walls are so thin, clogged waste material that stays in the colon too long can result in the leakage of harmful toxins and bacteria through the colon wall and into the body to cause further complications. If the colon is not in regular use it can become weak finding it difficult to move or pass waste through the body. From this, it is obvious that maintaining bowel health in your pets is important in order to support the bowel and its functions, as well as systemic health in general. The Natural Way A holistic approach to bowel health is important to keep your pet regular and diet is the key element. Probiotics are important in balancing the consistency of the stool. Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food (preferably organic). A tablespoon of olive oil added to your pet's food a few times a week will also help to keep bowel movements regular and coat glossy. Remove your pet's food after a while if it has not been eaten. Periods of fasting throughout the day are very important for effective digestion. Make sure your pet has access to fresh drinking water at all times. Filtered or bottled water is preferable to chlorinated or fluorinated water. Avoid exposure to toxins and chemicals as much as possible including pesticides, herbicides, commercial flea collars, flea powder, insecticides and second-hand cigarette smoke. Regular exercise will help to keep your pet (and his owner!) healthy, happy, fit and regular. Use herbal remedies and dietary supplements that are specifically aimed at maintaining bowel and digestive health, reduce reliance on dried and processed food, provide plenty of fresh water and include roughage and fiber in your pet's diet to help support bowel health and regular, soft stools naturally.

What is AnalGlandz™? AnalGlandz™ is a 100% safe, natural, herbal remedy that is used topically to assist with manual expression of your pet's anal glands. Regular use will also help to keep the anal glands and surrounding area healthy. The formula remains true to the whole spectrum method of herbal extraction, ensuring the bio-availability and balance of all the active ingredients contained in the remedy. This method of manufacture also significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects and maintains all active ingredients in perfect balance exactly as nature intended! All PetAlive® products are manufactured in a FDA-registered and cGMP-compliant pharmaceutical facility under the supervision of an expert team of herbalists, naturopaths, homeopaths and responsible pharmacists. What are anal glands? Anal glands, or anal sacs, are two small glands present in both dogs and cats situated just below and either side of the anal opening. These glands produce a substance that is secreted through ducts just inside the rectum when pressure is put on the glands - most commonly by the passing of feces. This substance has a strong odor which is very unpleasant to humans but was probably useful to animals, especially in times gone by, for marking their territory. In modern-day domestic pets, anal glands can often cause health problems. Sometimes the anal gland secretions are not released naturally and build up - leading to thickening of the secretion and clogging of the duct. You may have seen your pet with his tail up, dragging his behind across the floor. This is an attempt to relieve the pressure and discomfort of impacted anal glands and is called scooting. Scooting can cause damage to the anus and indicates that your pet is having trouble with his anal glands and needs some type of intervention. Caring for the anal glands and promoting anal gland health is therefore very important to prevent problems. The Natural Way Anal glands should be regularly checked and expressed when necessary in order to empty the buildup of secretions from the gland. This can be done by your vet, groomer or even by you. Getting the knack of this is not difficult, especially once you have been shown the technique. To express your pet's anal glands, use your fingers or a thumb and forefinger to gently apply pressure on either side of the anal opening - on the outside of the glands. Press inwards and upwards and you should see the fluid being expressed. A high-fiber diet, as well as regular use of Natural Moves™ for Pets™ (to promote regularity), will also help to support regular emptying of the anal glands, as healthy bowel movements will express the glands naturally.

Symptoms of Dog and Cat Diarrhea Much like humans, pets can occasionally encounter a bout of diarrhea or loose stool. Diarrhea usually occurs when something your pet has eaten does not agree with their stomach, irritating it and disrupting their normal defecation. Diarrhea can affect dogs and cats of all ages and breeds, and is characterized by loose, watery stools that are passed frequently. Sometimes there may even be blood present. There are various causes of diarrhea, ranging from eating spoiled or rotten food, eating garbage or roadkill and overeating to ingesting chemicals or toxins. Other causes include food allergies, reactions to certain medications and suddenly changing a pet's diet. Most episodes of pet diarrhea resolve themselves within 48 hours. It can be helpful to determine whether the disturbance originates in the small or large bowel. Small amounts of stool that contain mucous and perhaps blood typically come from the large bowel or colon. Large volumes of very watery stool most likely are from the small bowel - and these run a higher risk of dehydrating your pet to dangerous levels 1 . More severe episodes of diarrhea could develop because of parasitic infestation or a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. Your vet can take a fresh stool sample to check for and determine the cause of diarrhea. Warning signs to look out for include a sense of urgency to defecate several times during the day, straining during and after defecation, loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness and fever. Other Treatments for Symptoms of Dog and Cat Diarrhea Support your pet's digestive health and normal bowel function with these tips: Feed your pet high-quality commercial pet food or a well-balanced, all-natural diet that contains essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Avoid feeding your pet table scraps, bones or snacks; exclude bran, sugar and lactose products from their diet. Do not withhold food from a pet suffering from diarrhea, as she needs nutrition to heal. Multiple small meals a day and increased fiber can help normalize her gut 1 . Try not to make any sudden changes to your pet's diet—introduce new food gradually by adding it to old food. It should take three to five days to introduce a new diet. Inspect your pet's stool daily for abnormalities such as blood or mucus. Ensure your pet is de-wormed regularly. Keep your pet away from spoiled food and garbage cans. Make sure your pet's vaccinations are up-to-date. Resource: 1. Paul, Mike, DVM. "Dog Diarrhea: When Is It Serious and How Do I Stop It?" Pet Health Network. December 29, 2015.
