Is Natural Pet Bronchial Wellness safe for dogs? What about DMG side effects?

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.

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!

The Denamarin should not be needed if her liver enzymes are normal. It is not for energy it is just to help support the liver. Giving it intermittently is just a waste of money. It won't hurt it but it's not necessary. I suggest you put her on a good supplement like this one. I think it will help her all around: ( https://www.allivet.com/p-5454-missing-link-recovery-detoxification-1-lb.aspx )

Hello, and thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear that Fluffy is having coughing issues. I think you are asking about Robitussin DM? This is a human product that is designed for cough related to colds. Unfortunately it will have no effectiveness against fluid build up in the lungs, and it is also not tested and deemed safe for dogs. As a result I cannot recommend it. If Fluffy's cough is worsening even on the fluid pill (diuretic), I would recommend taking her back to your vet who can adjust the dose of the pill, and/or provide another medication that can help provide some relief. If the cough has suddenly worsened, it would also be worth having your vet investigate for any new causes for the cough, such as infection, masses, or chronic inflammation, or worsening heart disease. I hope this helps, and that Fluffy is feeling better soon.

I can understand your concerns. Deramaxx, just like any other pet formulated NSAID, has the potential to cause adverse reactions in dogs. There is no medicine for suspected osteoarthritis that is considered 100% free of possible side effects in dogs. With that said, you should be informed on the potential side effects and what symptoms to watch out for that could indicate there is a problem, such as vomiting, lethargy, decreased appetite, loose stool with or without blood, and to notify your vet if any are seen. For long term use, it is advised to have baseline bloodwork done on your pet to rule out any underlying kidney or liver problems as well. And if your pets history of health is unclear or unknown to your vet, bloodwork should even be considered before the first dose is given. But pets are prescribed this medicine all the time with little to no side effects; although that perspective can be skewed when owners only list the bad outcomes via the internet. However if you do see unwanted side effects it’s recommended to notify your vet immediately and stop the medication. However, there is a good chance he will do well. Best wishes and take care.

There are no proven holistic or natural remedies for such cases, there is very little to do regarding congestion even with conventional medications, if she has a hard time breathing your vet may prescribe brochodilatators such as theophylline or salmeterol.

I'm so sorry to hear that Wesson has degenerative myelopathy (DM). It is a horrible disease that we see far too commonly. There isn't any treatment that is proven to slow the progression of DM other than regular exercise. That being said, there are some recommendations for diet and supplements. The most common protocol that people have used is Dr. Clemmon's DM diet and supplement recommendations. I am attaching a link to his website below. http://dog2doc.com/neuro/DM_Web/DMofGS.htm He recommends a LARGE number of supplements which I think is too much for most dogs and clients to handle, so I will usually try to find a good quality antioxidant and multi-vitamin to add to a homemade diet. I love the company VetriScience. Their product Cell Advance is a wonderful antioxidant. https://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=900722120 Their multivitamins are also wonderful. I usually recommend Canine Plus Senior for older dogs which I do not believe has any chicken ingredients. https://www.vetriscience.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=9008506060 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
