Larger breed dogs tend to have shorter life spans and are considered geriatric when they are approximately 6 years of age. Owners tend to want to think of their pet's age in human terms. While it is not as simple as "1 human year = X cat/dog years", there are calculations that can help put a pet's age in human terms:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Y8ED8tcudDc/TGFppR_2y1I/AAAAAAAAACY/FN2TMWJS_FI/s1600/PetAges.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 199px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Y8ED8tcudDc/TGFppR_2y1I/AAAAAAAAACY/FN2TMWJS_FI/s1600/PetAges.bmp" border="0" alt="" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6551218320548101939-6344097740473490392?l=petmedicals.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Staff Veterinarian and Pharmacist Keep You Informedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00988286904683082874noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551218320548101939.post-85208000261220347102010-08-09T11:51:00.007-05:002010-08-09T12:04:26.289-05:00<a href="http://www.petmedicals.com/t-contestform.aspx"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 28px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Y8ED8tcudDc/TGAyiEzJgbI/AAAAAAAAACM/HBTHdJ_kIrU/s320/%24100Contest.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503454305631961522" /></a><br />Click on green arrow above to enter to win a $100 gift certificate from petmedicals.com.

Let’s face it; if we can fix it with some help from Mother Nature then that seems to be the best answer. I think your pet would agree!<br /><br />Elara Nutriceuticals, Inc. has recently developed and released such a product. <a href="http://www.petmedicals.com/p-2399-anatol-ag-for-dogs-4oz.aspx">Anatol Ag</a>™, a natural anti-microbial ear wash, has been specially formulated to address health issues that can start in your pet’s ear. This unique product has been designed to gently clean, dry, acidify, disinfect, sooth and deodorize the ear canal. It contains natural alternatives to harsh chemicals so often used in ear treatments. As I have already mentioned, many of the popular ear cleaners and treatments contain alcohols, sulfates, phosphates, chemical preservatives, parabens, antibiotics and steroids among other potentially harmful and irritating compounds. Anatol Ag™ is formulated with only naturally derived ingredients allowing it to be free from these less desirable compounds. <br /><br />I, like many pet owners, believe in natural medicine first. However, I always put a new product to the test before I will recommend it to my clients or customers. So, I put it to the test…and I must say, I have been very pleased with the results that have been seen with this product. Some of the cases had not responded well to other traditional treatments yet responded very well to the Anatol Ag™. Other than the fact that it does a very good job of cleaning the ear, some research on my part found that one of the primary ingredients that they use (a proprietary nano-silver hydrosol) has a long history as a highly effective anti-bacterial and anti-fungal compound. I have used silver products in the past but there is something special about their silver hydrosol because the others never provided these kinds of results. I’m betting it has something to do with their processing techniques and everything to do with nano-technology.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6551218320548101939-1298024194756543546?l=petmedicals.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Staff Veterinarian and Pharmacist Keep You Informedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00988286904683082874noreply@blogger.com0
