Dear Dr. Jane:
I have just recently
moved and both my dogs
and my cat are allergic to
something! It never
happened before, but
now they bite at
themselves and scratch
almost constantly. The
vet said they could be
allergic to fleas. Even
though I use a flea
product, I was told that
fleas still land on animals
and that’ enough to
cause an allergy. The vet
also said that since I
relocated and the
environment is new, there
could be something in the
air that is bothering
them. Either way, I don't
want them on steroids
and anti-histamines. Do
you have any product
that may help us.
Dr. Jane’s Answer:
I have a few products that I
can suggest. The first one
you can try is our Skin &
Coat Formula. It contains a
special mix of fish oils and
other oils. Many vets
recommend a combination
of oils and support
nutrients to soothe itching
from the inside out. Our
Skin & Coat Formula has
been tested in over 200
veterinary clinics and has
been sold for about seven
years. I am happy to report
that we have many
pleased customers who
use the delicious tablets
every allergy season.

Dear Dr. Jane:
It seems that every time
I let my dog loose in the
back yard he returns
with burrs in his fur and
all matted. When I comb
out the matts, there are
little sores from where
they irritated him. I told
my vet that I didn't want
antibiotics and asked for
something else. He told
me that I could try
products that contain
zinc. Does your soothing
mist have that in it.
Dr. Jane’s Answer:
The new Soothing Mist
was formulated to include
zinc. Zinc was used years
ago by medical doctors
and veterinarians and now
many professionals have
starting using it again.
Soothing Mist also
includes aloe vera gel and
other soothing and
nourishing herbs. It also
contains skin and coat
conditioners. The herbs
penetrate deep into the
skin to provide nutrients
and soothe. It is a great
product. I use it on my
horses and cats.

Dear Dr. Jane:
I have been feeding my
pet canned food. Will
that present any
problems in switching to
dry food.
* * * * *
Dr. Jane’s Answer:
Initially you may run into
some resistance. It won’t
be the pet’s reaction to our
food as much as it will be
the change in texture from
wet food to dry food.
Canned food is 75%-78%
moisture leaving little room
for nutrition. Add small
amounts of our dry food
initially and gradually
increase the portion while
decreasing the portion of
the wet food.
