I received this heart warming note and wanted to share it with my pet loving friends.

LuLu’s Story,

I kept worrying about, LuLu, my 10 1/2 year old lab mutt and thinking about her dying. I found myself wondering if this is LuLu’s last day. She’s getting old, and she had bad kidneys.

When I got home, I cried. This dog is part of me. She has been with me as I faced life and death. She comforts me on as many levels as I can distinguish. I love her and everything about her.

There I was, sobbing, feeling a tender appreciation for my furry companion, still as stubborn as ever on a walk. We got out the front door and walked across the newly mowed lawn. We crossed the street onto the sidewalk, tears still streaming down my cheeks.

I feel so much about this creature. I started thinking about the day I found her, sitting there on the corner with a homeless man holding a sign “Stray Dog Needs Home.”

I had given up hope when I heard about a pet product called, PAAWS. There was nothing left to lose, so I gave it a try.

That was 4 years and 2 weeks ago. LuLu is still with me today. She is truly my companion for life.

Pet lovers whose dogs and cats have to endure the cold winter weather may want to brush up on their wintertime pet health IQ to help keep Fido and Fluffy warm and safe while frolicking in the snow.

Antifreeze, which is Ethylene Glycol, is deadly for pets! It also smells and tastes good to pets. Less than four teaspoons may be lethal for a ten pound dog. A single teaspoon can be fatal to cats.

Propylene glycol is a less toxic form of antifreeze and can be used instead of ethylene glycol. The brand is called “Sierra.” It works just as well in your car but is much less toxic to your pet.

Last year nearly 150,000 cases of pet poisoning and pet toxicities were reported for dogs and cats. To help ensure pets and their people enjoy a safe, healthy holiday this New Year here are a few safety tips to boost your pet health holiday IQ.

Plants and Medications to avoid with Dogs and Cats.

Holiday Plants are actually more of a problem with cats than with dogs, although curious puppies often enjoy a nibble.

Dr. Carol’s TIP: place plants up out of paw reach or consider safe alternatives like artificial arrangements made from silk.

Lilly’s are lovely but many varieties: Tiger, Asian, Japanese Show, Stargazer and Casa Blanca can cause kidney failure in cats

Poinsettia’s are often talked about, but are very overrated. At worst they can cause an upset stomach in dogs and cats.

For most of us the holidays are a time to eat, drink and be merry with good friends and family. I wanted to offer my fellow pet lovers tips to refresh your pet festivity IQ and offers some helpful hints so the Yule tide traditions are as merry for you as they are for your pets.

Holiday Pet Basics: Be sure your pet is healthy, has his or her ID tags and collar, which can be personalized for your dog or cat, take a few precautions and use lots of common sense. Try to decorate your home according to the age, activity level and temperament of your pets and children. If your pets are young and active, homemade expendable ornaments are a great, safe and fun family project.

Holidays are hectic for all of us and that means stress for pets. To minimize stress try to keep your pets diet, snacks and routine as close to normal as possible. Be sure your pet has a quiet place to go so he can relax when he’s had enough. This helps avoid behavioral problems especially with children.

Normally, I would not write about a product!

I’ve read similar stories and thought, what the hell kind of crappy food have you been feeding your dog for you to get such great results with any product – especially after such a short time? Junk like you buy at grocery or discount stores is just that – junk with no nutritional value whatsoever! My dogs were never fed any of that stuff!

My dog (the subject of this writing) is a rough-coat black Brussels Griffon who has had a multitude of medical problems from about the time he was 2 years old. At three years he had a hip replacement and has had a skin problem (rash) for years.

He is eight years old now and for the past four years or so he’s been mostly inactive. He’s always had an intestine problem and very soft stools even though we’ve kept him on Probiotics. O.K. to keep this short, he’s not felt well for years – we could tell.

We have three dogs and we’ve always cooked for them and added Omega 3’s, and Probiotics daily. Nothing but the best for our dogs (they’re my children) – white meat skinless boneless chicken and vegetables and healthy home-cooked treats.

About three weeks ago I ordered and started giving him your Paaws Pet VitaminsAM & PM twice a day. Within a week and a half we noticed a difference in his energy. Well here it is three weeks later and he’s like a puppy again, running and wanting to play several times a day.

Now, I’m not a vet and don’t know medically if it’s the Paaws vitamins, but I do know he’s a new dog and no longer laying around like someone who doesn’t feel well.

We’ve always given our pets the finest home cooked food and all the best care available, but nothing comes close to the results we personally have experienced with Dr. Carol’s Paaws pet vitamins.

I know this sounds like a commercial, but I can assure you it isn’t. Anyone who wants to discuss it personally with me, can e-mail me at: bottierijr@me.com.

Thank you, Dr. Carol!

Hi Dr. Carol,

So nice to walk into the house, listen to your message on the answering machine and then read this! Jenna amazes me. She may already be 15…we don’t know her exact date of birth since she was a rescue. Anyways she has such good energy and also no sign of senility. Last year, before PAAWS she concerned me a few times as she just seemed confused. I haven’t seen her confused at all! She is eating her food. She needs to be on DES every other day for incontinence. If I stretch it out further then that she leaks.

Adding the Hip/Joint with the PAAWS vitamins is relieving her hind leg stiffness and we have stopped using the Rimadyl. Her spine protrudes a bit about 10 inches up from her tail – just a note. Yesterday she ran up to my husband, excited to see him, and then did a full body shake knocking herself down as her back legs lost their balance. She popped right back up though, smiling.

This is Jenna. She is my treasure. Here are a few photos of this girl.

Thank you for your excellent PAAWS product and all your time and help which I am certain is offering Jenna a better life!

Hi Dr. Carol,
I wanted to get back to you and let you know how our 14 year old dog, Scruffy is doing…
Since you changed his Paaws vitamin supplements to Senior dogs I have had no problems whatsoever with him.

Every piece of information that you have given to me regarding the Paaws, probiotics, digestive enzymes, your home-made diet, eye drops, bathing tips etc. have been a complete turnaround for him in his health and personality.

I am so glad I found you through the internet. I only wish I would have known about you when I lived in Ohio. Your time and opinions and been so worth getting my dog back from where I did not think he was going to make it, to almost completely back to his old personality.

Hello Dr. Carol,

I recently wrote to thank you for PAAWS and all your personal assistance with my 14 (nearly 15) year old Lhasa Apso Samson. I wanted to tell you some of the additional great results we’ve seen in the past few weeks.

Not only was I able to take him off prescription Tramadol that had him sleeping all the time and reduce the Rimadyl that negatively affects his kidneys, but I’ve noticed that his thinning hair has grown full again! Rogaine’s got nothing on PAAWS!

Best of all, I took Samson to his cardiologist and there was a significant lowering in his kidney levels, both the BUN and creatinine levels are down a significant 5 points! The BUN is down from 107 to 102.

The doctor was very pleased and I told him all about your PAAWS vitamins. I also forgot to tell you that his hair was thinning and since he’s been on PAAWS vitamins it has filled out again!

Thank you again for giving Samson his energy and joy back!

Hope all is well with you and thanks again for all the time you spent helping me and your wonderful advice.

Warm regards,
