Is jiaogulan good for dogs? What are the potential risks for pets?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are no studies currently looking at the use of this concurrently with chemotherapy. For this reason, I do not recommend using this as we do not know if it could interact negatively with the chemotherapy. It would be safer to get her through the chemotherapy protocol and perhaps consider holistic supplements after. Good luck and have a good day!

Unfortuantely we could never recommend and say it is ok to give your pet human medication if it is not prescribed specifically for your pet. There is too much room for human error when trying to microdose human medication to pets. Also there may be contaminants or other ingredients there that are not suitable for dogs, so it is best to use caution and stick with the pet formulated one that has been tested in pets. Also we are not legally able to prescribe CBD oils to pets in most states, so experimenting with this lies entirely on the owner and your research. The law has made it clear to us that we just don't know enough about CBD oil to competently prescribe it and educate owners on its use. With that said, there are some pet owners that say it has helped their pets with arthritis and pain, while others say it hasn't helped at all. It is still considered a supplement and is anectdotal, which means that there isn't enough research to say that it is going to be helpful for most pets and what conditions it can treat for. I do hope that your pet Kai does well moving forward. Best wishes and take care.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If you would like to feed Oscar tumeric, I recommend purchasing an organic turmeric from your local grocery store. While there are no published veterinary studies, it may have anti-inflammatory properties. I hope this is helpful!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. From my research, Noni appears to be safe but it is a natural supplement with not much research behind it. With that said, as with any natural supplement, I always caution against using these products. As long as you feed a well balanced commercial diet, you do not need to add in additional supplementation unless there is a problem. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

Basil isn't toxic to dogs, so it's fine to Pasha the cold basil water. She may not like the taste, however, and probably won't drink it. In addition, this will not help at all with her arthritis. Glucosamine is a good idea to give her, and you could talk to your vet about pain relief if she appears painful. I hope this helps!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. This product is labelled for human use and has no information available for animals that I could find. I would say that most of the ingredients formulated in the phytoplex are safe for use in dogs, however, use with caution as there is no information on its safety in animals. There are safer options out there such as Vetericyn or hydrocortisone spray that I would recommend before using Phytoplex. I hope this helps!

Cernitin pollen extract is the extract of rye grass pollen. Rye grass decreases swelling (inflammation) by interfering with certain chemicals. It might also slow down prostate cancer cell growth. It is unlikely that there are detrimental side effects in dogs. Consumption of any plant material may cause vomiting and gastrointestinal upset for dogs, so this would be something that could happen.
