This is the right place to learn about it. And I highly recommend it, not only will you notice an improvement in flatulence, but also a huge improvement in dental health, coat and skin health, and overall performance.I'm learning about it and considering it.
Really? Are some breeds gassier than others? (are some people gassier than others? men more than women?) :biggrin:She's not my first Basset, so I know they can be a gassy breed.
I did a brief Google on the ingredients. Did you know that this product contains Nux Vom AKA Nux Vomica which is poisonous?Yes, I agree. i'd try and switch to raw. In the meantime, here are some natural remedies for relieving doggie gas;
feed him smaller meals. eating too much/too fast can cause him to swallow excess oxygen causing gas.
try providing him with a little bit of yogurt (about a tablespoon or so). This has been proven to relieve digestion problems in humans and pets.
also, here is a website where you can find some natural commercial supplements for this purpose;
Dog Flatulence - A Natural Solution
Hope this helps:smile:
The natural solution product? gee, i had no idea. thanks so much for letting me know.I did a brief Google on the ingredients. Did you know that this product contains Nux Vom AKA Nux Vomica which is poisonous?![]()
Not if used in a homeopathic remedy. Like Cures like, so the diluted tincture of nux vomica cures the symptoms of ingesting pure nux vomica. At a 30C it's very diluted so it will cause absolutely no negative effects if the body cannot utilize it.I did a brief Google on the ingredients.

With all due respect, that makes no sense. If you are being poisoned by a particular chemical, ingesting MORE of it will NOT make you better!Not if used in a homeopathic remedy.

Don't knock it unless you've tried it...With all due respect, that makes no sense. If you are being poisoned by a particular chemical, ingesting MORE of it will NOT make you better!
The "like cures like" theory, while popular with homeopaths, has yet to be clinically proven.
Pax,
Thats all anyone who believes in homeopathy can say. They have nothing else to add to their argument. Its a lot like voodoo and which doctors. Don't knock it until youve tried it. :smile:Don't knock it unless you've tried it...
That's all i've got to say.
You're right i don't have scientific studies because the pharmaceuticals are trying to push homeopathy down and there essentially is no one to fund these expensive studies. But i have many many dog and cat clients that have used various remedies through our homeopath. Dogs and cats do not have the placebo effect, so bring in a dog diagnosed with urinary incontinence which the vet want to put on hormones or other drugs but instead of putting them on the drug the owner puts the dog on a homeopathic combination remedy such as Leaks no More by Homeopet (Plantago Major 6c&30c, Gelsemium Sempervirens 6c&30c, Cantharis 6c&30c, Causticum 6c&30c, Alumina 6c&30c in 20% USP alc. in purified water) and the problem is solved no more symptoms, then when taken off the remedy the symptoms come back. What does this explain? Was it a fluke? Nothing else was changed with the dog as far as environment, food, exercise, routine etc.Thats all anyone who believes in homeopathy can say. They have nothing else to add to their argument. Its a lot like voodoo and which doctors. Don't knock it until youve tried it. :smile:
ETA: You are right that it does no harm but thats because it does nothing at all either good or bad.
