Excellent for Allergies!

Thursday, August 16th, 2012

My doctor explained how Vitamin A eliminated his allergies. This product is a fantastic solution to allergies in a dry supplement. I didn’t want oily or fishy, so this is perfect!

I used to suffer from terrible seasonal allergies, particularly to pollen, dust, grass, and trees. I’m also allergic to cats and dogs, and considering that I have four cats and love to be around dogs, I had no choice but to get rid of the allergies. Now I take Vitamin A instead of allergy meds. I’ve used Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec, Zycam, and a number of homeopathic remedies from Hyland’s and Similisan, and this particular Vitamin A trumps all. I wouldn’t want to be without it. Solgar also makes a great dry one. If Thorne isn’t available, that’s what I buy.

It’s also fabulous for my skin. For a skincare supplement, it’s hard to beat Vitamin A.

FYI, the cats I’m referring to are indoor only. I don’t know if I’d still react badly to cats tracking in allergens from the outdoors, but working out in the yard among all the usual triggers doesn’t affect me anymore, so I’m guessing it would be ok. We would never let our cats loose outside, allergies or not.

Veterinarian’s Best Dry Clean Waterless Cat Bath Foam

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

This foam bath is absolutely awesome! Nothing in it to harm my babies, and they love it! Makes them shiny, soft, and fresh. I will definitely not go back to the kind we used before. This one has safer ingredients and doesn’t smell strong. Only the best will do for our furry monsters. This is the best!

‘C.E.T. Enzymatic Oral Hygiene Chews for Cats, Fish-Flavored, 96 Chews

Monday, December 26th, 2011

These were recommended to us at the veterinary hospital to keep our cats’ teeth cleaner in between cleanings. As we’ve only been using them a few months, don’t know if they’ve helped in that regard, although one of our cats has been back and the doctor said her teeth “look good”. She had a dental three months ago, so who knows if treats had anything to do with that.

But we do know that the “kids” love them. They go absolutely, hysterically crazy for them. I’ve never seen such a response to any treat. Our 2-year-old bats his around like a hockey puck, terrorizing it, stalking it, and finally devouring it. Our middle-aged mellow boy carefully contemplates his and eats it slowly, like he wants to savor every bit of it as long as possible. Our senior queen kitty picks hers up and carries it to a private place where she can dine by herself. Our kids are large and the size of these is no problem. At first I cut them into smaller pieces, but that turned out to not be necessary.

I only wish they weren’t so darned expensive. Amazon has the best price, but with multiple cats getting 1-2 per day, every day, we need to buy them frequently.
