Hi Dr. Carol,

My cats are doing very well, thanks! The PAAWS vitamins do a great job on their coats, alertness, energy levels, everything! I can only imagine the internal benefits they are getting from them. Whats great is there have been no more issues with vomiting or diarrhea so I have to guess that your PAAWS has also helped Margies IBD clear up.

Hi Dr. Carol,

Our 15 year old cat seems to be acting more and more like he did when he was younger. His muscle strength has improved tremendously, for example, he is able to jump onto high stools with no problem. Before, we started him on the paaws vitamins he had to make many attempts before he was successful. I think his joints must be feeling better too. So far, he hasn’t had any more accidents outside the litter box, which is a really a blessing. As for the taste, he seems to really enjoy the paaws.

We are also giving the paaws pills to our other cat who is only 1 1/2 years old. He thinks he has wings or something, now he jumps from cabinet to cabinet, and they over 10 feet high and 6 feet apart.

The one thing he has never done before and is currently doing is that he jumps from the top of the cabinets to the ground. In the past when he was on top of the cabinets, he would jump to the counter top and then the ground (2 step process).

We are definitely seeing progress in energy, strength and hair coats in all 3 cats. I told my husband the more consistent he is on giving the cats their vitamins, the more progress and improvement he should see.

I will continue to keep you posted.

Thank you so much!

Hi Dr. Carol,

I’ve only been giving your PAAWS Cat Vitamins for a few days, and old, neutered Sherlock (age 15) who is frisky anyway, is eating even more like a horse and “bothering” poor little Margie for romantic favors more than ever!

Is this stuff like Viagra for old cats????

I am starting Margie out with 1/3 capsule…so far so good!

Thank you,

As summer time and warmer weather approaches, Ticks often become an issue for many pets and their people. Ticks can infect your dog with Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other tick-borne diseases. Learning to identify ticks is also wise; the brightly colored tick on the left carries Lyme Disease.

If your pet loves the great outdoors — particularly for those that enjoy roaming the woods and trails — be sure to check your pet’s skin and hair coat thoroughly especially the area around their ears and neck. If you spot the pesky, little blood suckers, try to remove them as soon as possible!

Ticks that has burrow into your dog’s skin can be tricky to remove. Dr. Carol offers a few tips to safely remove ticks, such as the harmful tick, pictured to the right that transmits Lyme Disease.

1. First put on a pair of rubber gloves to avoid direct contact with the tick.

2. Use tweezers to grasp the tick by its head at the point where it’s attached to your pet’s body.

3. Gently pull the tick away from the skin, but do not twist. Make sure you remove the entire tick, because leaving tick body parts behind, under your pets skin can cause an infection.

4. Clean the bite area with an antiseptic, such as alcohol and wipe your tweezers well with rubbing alcohol. Place the tick in a glass jar with a couple inches of rubbing alcohol and close the lid.

Be sure to ask your vet identify the tick so you know whether or not you and/or your pet are at risk or if it’s harmless, like the wood tick in this photo.

Contact your vet if the skin around the tick bite remains irritated. To protect your pet during tick season (usually April through September), use a tick-preventive product and consider vaccinating your pets for Lyme disease. There is also a Lyme Disease Vaccine available for people, which is a valid consideration for those living in and/or traveling through endemic areas of the country.
