KATHLEEN & MARIAH
Healthy
Diets for Humans & Pets

| Michael Howell and Douglas Freeman operate
K9 Biscuit Company, a bakery and "nutrition centre" for
dogs in Vancouver, British Columbia. K9 Biscuit Company is
dedicated to producing the healthiest of dog treats and providing
their customers with healthful products, including Udo's Choice
Oil Blend and PetEssentials, to promote health and well-being. |
| |
| Most of our customers comment on
how shiny their dogs' coats become after they incorporate Udo's
Choice Oil Blend and Pet Essentials into the diet. They typically
explain how their dogs' energy levels and alertness skyrocket!
We know these are outward indicators of the dog's health,
and our customers find that this is a natural outcome of
good nutrition. |
| |
When we established K9 Biscuit Company in
the late 1990s, it was only after we had learned first-hand
about nutritional healing. We certainly advocate an unprocessed,
natural food diet for our dog, but as we talked to more and
more dog owners, we realized that many people simply could
not manage such a regime. With our busy lives the appeal
of the convenience of commercially prepared food is undeniable.
| For dogs whose diet consists mainly
of processed dogfood, we strongly urge their owners to
supplement with fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and nutritional
supplements, including essential fatty acids found in
Udo's Choice Oil Blend. |

| |
| One
of our dearest customers had been considering Udo's Choice
Oil Blend for her own health. She had struggled with fibromyalgia
for years. Finally, after learning that the blend would
be beneficial for her dog as well, she incorporated it
into her own diet as well as her dogs diet. |

Kathleen's Labrador Retriever, Mariah,
has a very sensitive stomach. The slightest change in
diet would upset it. But Kath tried our treats and found
that Mariah had no problem digesting them. In a less-successful
attempt to fortify Mariah's diet, though, Kathleen had
introduced salmon oil into Mariah's diet. The oil was
recommended for nourishment, as well as for improving
joint function. Mariah had injured both knees, and had
endured cruciate ligament surgery on both her left and
right knees in the summer of 2001. Unfortunately, the
salmon oil did not sit well in her tender tummy. |
|
| |
We felt that the oils of flax, sunflower
and sesame seeds found in Udo's Choice Oil Blend would be
more likely to be tolerated than a fish oil. Kathleen started
with just a few drops a day into Mariah's meals. The intake
was slowly increased to a teaspoon per meal for the 70 pound
black lab. The results were nothing short of remarkable. Mariah's chronic ear infections cleared up within two months.
Within a few weeks, Mariah's coat developed a beautiful sheen
and became more wavy over her back. Her eyes now sparkle,
and she runs, jumps, and plays, completely free of knee pain.
|
| |
| In addition to the UDO's oil, Mariah
is receives "cartrophen" injections from the
vet every 3 months, to help prevent cartilage build-up,
and she is also on a daily dose of glucosamine sulphate.
The vet is always surprised at her level of recovery
from the surgery, and her vitality reminds Kathleen of
Mariah's puppyhood. |
 |
As for Kathleen, a combination of an improved
diet, combined with UDO's Oil plus other supplements, and
various therapies including physiotherapy and others have
begun to relieve the sleep disorder and pain associated with
her condition. She's feeling great, and ready to resume a
normal life and many of the activities she had given up.
