GRAPEFRUIT SEED EXTRACT FOR DOGS FULL

To make the Full Spectrum recommendations I make in The Dog Cancer Survival Guide, I’ve studied, a lot. That's why it's wise to only add things to your dog's strategy under your veterinarian's supervision (because they have some training in this stuff), and to only add things that have been shown to be both safe and have benefit. You can't expect yourself to be able to master all the ins and outs of supplements and drugs overnight, in your kitchen. No wonder those of you trying to learn overnight how all those drugs and supplements and vitamins interact to help (or harm) your dog get frustrated. That's eight years of study to become a pharmacist! For reference, medical school is three years, and most veterinary programs are two years. Pharmacologists need four years of preparatory coursework BEFORE they go through four years of pharmacy training. Most of us are not pharmacologists - not even doctors or veterinarians (although we do get some pharmacology training in medical school). This can lead to you over-dosing your dog, because, just like with pharmaceuticals, you can do 'too much of a good thing.'

Think about it: would you trust a doctor who told you that you needed fifteen different prescriptions? Especially if several of them offered opposite benefits? If you are giving your dog more than a handful of carefully chosen supplements that have been shown to be safe and helpful, think twice.Īnother cause for concern is duplicating ingredients - giving more than one supplement that contains the same ingredients. Using too many at once, especially ones that cancel each other out is usually a bad idea. (Or why would we even bother using them?) While supplements are generally not as powerful as pharmaceuticals, you have to keep in mind that they can have effects. One of my major concerns is over-dosing dogs. Many dog lovers are willing to try just about anything when their dogs have cancer, and there are many supplements purported to be good for cancer that I have assessed but decided I could not recommend in general, and certainly not in my book.
