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!

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,

Dear Dr. Carol,

We want to thank you for the introduction to your amazing Paaws vitamins that we have been giving to Windy Wag. Windy Wag is a retired racing greyhound that we rescued on Christmas day of 2003. We started her on them approximately 3 months ago and the results have been excellent.

First of all, Windy Wag has had a problem with “bunny hopping” on one of her rear legs due to severe arthritis for years. She just turned 11 years old in September of 2009. We introduced the Paaws vitamins to her food by crumbling them over her food and adding a little warm water then mixing them up with a spoon. She loves the tasteand can’t wait to eat her breakfast and dinner. She licks the bowl clean after each meal.

We noticed a few very positive changes after a couple of weeks, one being that the “bunny hopping” almost disappeared and within 4 weeks was so rare that we could not believe how effective the Paaws vitamins were!!

Ever since scientists unraveled the dogs DNA or genetic code and found it to be quite similar to human DNA, research into medical conditions and treatments for people and pets has been on the rise.
Recent results from a 2008 survey revealed that the leading medical conditions affecting people, mimic the top conditions plaguing pets.

Allergies, for example rank number one for people and pets. In the past, many mistakenly considered allergies to be exclusive to humans. The signs of an allergy differ between the two species.

Allergic people primarily sneeze and may also get runny eyes whereas itching is usually the primary sign of allergies in pets and some may also be affected with runny eyes. The end result for both is the same and requires treatment for relief.

1. Allergies topped the list. In 2008, there were 63,761 claims made for pet skin allergies. Allergic reactions in pets can result from various agents that are called allergens, including flea saliva, pollen, grasses and/or various foods.

Treatment options for pets are similar in principle to those for people. It involves controlling the pet’s exposure to allergens,in the environment and/or to certain foods, stopping the itching, sneezing and/or runny eyes and boosting internal immunity.

Dear Dr. Carol,

My dog Sebastian is 12 years old. He has severe allergies. His coat had spots that were bald and his ears were very dark and the skin was thick and infected looking. He was given antibiotics and his coat would grow back but then the hair would fall out again.

The doctor told me to start him on a prescription drug but the side effects were very scary. I researched and found your Paaws vitamins. I must say I didn’t believe anything was going to happen but I decided to give it a try. In 30 days Sebastian’s ears are back pink and his coat is beautiful.

I will use your paaws product for the rest of his life.

Thank you again for this wonderful product!

Dear Dr. Carol,

I just wanted to let you know that my 10 year old maltese, Flower is enjoying her Paaws vitamins each day. She loves them and we can already see improvement in her attitude, energy and arthritis. The greatest relief for which we are so pleased is that she finally stopped itching and mutilating herself!

The Dermalustre works very well too. I spray it directly on the “hot spots” on her paws, and it really
stops her from chewing on them.

Your Clear Eyes product also seems to be doing a nice job of soothing her irritated eyes.

So, everything is going great!

Thanks again,

Feeding candy licorice to your dog – or any kind of confection, for that matter – is a definite no-no. But the herbal form of licorice is a time-tested remedy for gastrointestinal upset and skin problems such as allergies. And some veterinarians use it as an anti-inflammatory for problems such as itching in the place of powerful drugs like steroids.

“The most important thing for people to understand is that the effects of licorice are slow and cumulative, as opposed to a steroid injection,” says holistic veterinarian, Carol Osborne, DVM, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, author of “Dr. Carol’s Naturally Healthy Dogs” (Marshall Editions, 2006). With the latter, “about four hours later the animal is in great shape, which lasts for about 10 days, but then you have the side effects of steroids, like stress on liver and kidneys.”

As with any herb, it is important to discuss licorice use with your veterinarian. The active ingredient in licorice is the nearly impossible to pronounce chemical component glycyrrhizin, which stimulates the adrenal glands and produces an anti-inflammatory response similar to that of corticosteroids such as prednisone.

Over the last decade advances in veterinary medicine have nearly doubled the canine life span. The technological innovations we now offer for pets, parallel those available for people, reaching far beyond our previous expectations. What are the factors limiting longevity in pets? What impact do anti-oxidant supplementation and dietary intervention have on lengthening healthy life spans for pets? Successful techniques for rejuvenating the body and lengthening life spans in people have been documented. Would similar strategies prove effective for dogs?

George, a 7 year old Dalmatian not only suffered from severe arthritis, he was also paralyzed, due to a spinal injury. Surgery cost was estimated at $4000, with no guarantee of success and little hope of him ever walking again. George’s owners, Don and Pam Brennan were devastated and sadly carried George out of the office that day on a stretcher. He couldn’t even stand up to go to the bathroom. With tears streaming down their faces, they knew it was the end. They spent that night together saying their final goodbyes.

The next morning a friend told them about ongoing clinical trials of an anti-aging pet product. This was their last chance. They had nothing to lose, so they gave it a try. Within 30 days, George was out in the front yard playing with the other dogs. He was back to the way he used to be, playful like a puppy. George enjoyed several healthy, happy years thereafter. Pam and Don were thrilled-they got their dog back!

Anti-Aging medicine, although not yet formally recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association, is the newest clinical medical specialty offered to human physicians. So, why wouldn’t this be applicable for veterinarians as well?

Dear Dr. Carol,

I’m writing to thank you so much for your wonderful product. I truly believe that PAAWS is one of the main reasons that the love of my life, Lindy, enjoys her remarkable health. My vet calls her the miracle dog!

Lindy turned 16 in Febuary. She has lost her hearing and her vision is challenged but her spirit and energy remain strong. She is happy to go out every morning with her friends, also PAAWS dogs! They have been walking together every morning for a least 14 years.

She still rides on the console of my car and just about jumps out of the car window when we get to her favorite park. Lindy still breaks out into vigorous runs every morning.

She has been on PAAWS for as long as I can remember. She always had a delicate constitution, after she began PAAWS Vitamins, I immediately noticed that the problem all but vanished.

I don’t know what Lindy’s life would have been like without PAAWS, but I know what it’s been with them…wonderful!

Thank you so much!
