In 2007 we posted several articles on the benefits of stem cell research from a company called Vet Stem Regenerative Veterinary Medicine.
We would like to revisit vet stem to see what has transpired in the past years to help dogs overcome diseases and untimely deaths. More than 3,000 horses have received stem cell treatments
Vet Stem Cell Treatments for Dogs-Less Expensive than Surgery
The procedure involves taking some 2 tablespoons of fat tissue from the back of the dogs neck area and it is sent to Vet Stem in California who are the global leaders in veterinary stem cell research. Vet stem has literally performed stem cell transplantation in over 1,000 dogs with great success.
Upon receiving the fat tissue samples vet stem extracts and separates the Adult Stem Cells from the fat tissue. The very same day the stem cells are sent back to a participating veterinarian who then injects the millions of stem cells back into your dog’s bones and joints. The results can be seen in weeks instead of months later as in surgical procedures.
Use Your Dogs Own Adult Stem Cells to Heal Diseases
If veterinarians “get this” why don’t doctors and government get this? The success stories are here, the trials have been studied -the results are very clearly positively and confirmed to show positive repaired diseases in dogs, and horses. It it works for animals and for humans also. Apparently your dog is getting better medical care than you are at this time.
Cats are healing also and trials are being conducted to heal feline kidney diseases and the Vet Stem Cell Company are on the forefront and are leaders who will only grown by leaps and bounds in the future -healing our pets and animals with this simple procedure.
The cost is far less than surgical intervention and the benefits of stem cell treatments over surgery are many and include:
No cutting of tissue, bones or or surgical errors.
No costs for general anethstetic or pain drugs -before during and after the procedure.
No waiting time to heal from surgery.
No apparatus to help mobility during healing is necessary.
No cost for anethstetic healing time is weeks instead of months.
Cost wise -stem cell treatments are far less than surgical intervention.
A few years ago the Vice President of the Muscular Dystrophy Association commented on the work underway by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. The use of stem cell treatments to relieve symptoms of muscular dystrophy in dogs holds promise in defeating the disease in children. Muscular dystrophy is a muscle wasting disease that occurs in one of every 3,500 male births.
There is also promising results for dogs treated for melanoma by genetically engineering stem cells from bone marrow to destroy cancer proteins as studies held in Britain. The adult stem cells known as mesenchymal stem cells can attack cancer cells while leaving health cells to thrive. These studies have been in progress since 2006 and again are showing positive results.
For people and their pets adult stem cell research should be funded and put on the fast track to help relieve pain and suffering and save lives now -rather than later.

Sometimes dogs have horrendous breath which can be sign there is an oral health problem. If left untreated it can lead to loose teeth, infected gums and sores inside the mouth which causes mouth infections and eventually loss of teeth.
Removing infected teeth can be avoided if you have these organisms living inside your dog you can remove them. Effective ways to clean your dog’s teeth each day as you clean your own is necessary for proper oral dog hygiene.
The problems caused by not cleaning your dog’s teeth are:
Gingivitis which is inflammation of the gums and causes pain.
Pyorrhea which inflames the gums and tooth leading to loose teeth and pus.
Caries which is the loss of calcium of the tooth leading to cavities.
Plaque which is the tartar build up causing bacteria to form, causing periodontal sickness.
Tartar which is a calcium build up on tooth surfaces.
How Do You Clean Your Dog’s Teeth?
Good Oral dental care requires a good natural product without chemicals or preservatives. There is one product that fits the needs of oral dog care for your dog and that is safe and natural. A spray is convenient and easy to use such as Pet Alive Oral Health Spray.
A dog needs all natural ingredients that removes plaque and tartar as well as the bacteria in the mouth and throat areas which collect bacteria.
How to Use Oral Care Products for your Dog:
If your dog has heavy tartar build up or has not had its teeth brushed start with one application in the morning and one at night time before bed.
Use a soft toothbrush or your finger with a plastic glove to massage the product into the back teeth which are harder to get to with a toothbrush. Or just use a handly spray product such as Pet Alive Oral.
I recommend both methods especially if you have never put your fingers in your dog’s mouth. It might be a little strange for them at the beginning but as they get used to your finger/toothbrush they will adjust to it and actually enjoy it.
After the 30 days of 2 applications a day you can reduce it to one per day but you will notice a distinct sweet smell coming from your dogs mouth and breath will be a lot more tolerable.
If you really wish your dog had better breath, check their teeth and do start an oral dog care program to protect your dog’s shiny white teeth.

” One Nation Under Dog” is a dog book written by Michael Schaffer is a book every dog lover should read! As Michael puts us into the world of dog – and all the trappings of pet care we can see how this domesticated animal has turned into a family member. As I began reading about their “first dog” Murphy I recalled how I got my latest addition to the family and the joy of having a dog.
Murphy’s story is one of the doting parents who “for the love of dog” we follow in the same footsteps as Mike and his wife travel through the world of a 43 billion dollar industry growing into the next century. The history of dogs is particularly amusing and an eye opener for dog owners on what to look out for -in case you fall into the trappings of dog ownership.
Besides the dog lattes, Bully Sticks and puppy birthday parties – the upscale urban dog today the author takes us through pet bereavement to the pet food industry. The care and feeding of Fido is explained by looking at the stories of obsessions and the changes in our culture from politics to social morals and finally the economics of pet ownership.
If you own a dog you owe it to yourself to get this book and avoid your dog becoming a Prozac-Popping Puppy. Just simply to avoid the dog park no-no’s and teach yourself how to get accustomed to the new world order – of the dog.
This is a must read book -and highly recommended-and special thanks to Mr. Jason Liebman of New York for sending us a copy of the book – it was a great read!!

Just released is that the First Dog’s name is : Bo and he is a refugee from the Kennedy’s.
So far Bo will make his debut on Tuesday afternoon at the Whitehouse which should be a spectacular event for all dog lovers.
He is a Portuguese Water Dog approximately 6 months old and is black with white markings especially his front paws which look like two socks. In any one’s eyes he is completely and utterly adorable. The Top Dog will be making press release information available and coverage begins Tuesday afternoon. The Puppy looks mature for his age or shall we say Portly. Portuguese Water dogs are known to be good swimmers, friendly, energetic, loving to kids, but also strong willed leaders
The Lillibed Company from Europe has already given President Obama gifts of a Presidential Bowl and Presidential Bed for the new arrival at the Whitehouse.
We are sure Bo will fit in nicely and will carry out his duties with diligence and care and make us dog lovers proud.
Obama Sasha and Milia Greet the First Dog
A happy tail wag was had by all. In the midst of hostage taking, a recessive economy and job losses – we can all use a good news story. Better times are ahead and we have to enjoy the wag of a tail as life’s simple pleasures are priceless.

While in Europe President Obama has received gifts from the Czech Government which were given to the Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek to give to the First Family for their First Dog. The bowls and beds were made by the Lillibed Company of Europe made especially for First Dogs of America -namely the Obama’s First Dog.
The Presidential First Dog's Bowl
You have to had it to the Europeans -they have class. This dog bowl for instance is just exquisite and made from fine porcelain of the best quality -not Chinese cheap made of lead. No no…not so. The Presidents First Dog bowl is fired 4 times and hard kilned made from Czech raw production materials.
The Bowl is engraved with the words: “American’s First Dog” on the inside. This is just the beginning of the tasteful way this bowl is made and with a braided 24 karet gold band around the bowl it is encrusted with SWAROVSKI blue crystals and other studed stones on the ensignia.
First Dog's Bowl Presidential Seal-24K Gold
A bowl to make even Bernie Maddoff or Donald Trump -jealous.
The front of the bowl reads Bowl of the First Dogof the United States as you see in the picture above. These classy bowls are also dishwasher safe. Now why didn’t some one in the US start making these bowls before the Europeans?
Gifts for the First Dog from the Czech Government

I just had to take some pictures the other day as my dog and I walked along the beach at the nearby Lake and feeling the warm spring weather I felt that there is nothing more simple and pleasurable as a walk with your dog.
You forget about the madness of your job, and the people that disappoint you through their own shortcomings and the state of the world today. You tend not to think about how greed has brought us to a world economic disaster on one particular street in New York. It slipped my mind that “One Manical Psychopath” is shooting rockets over in North Korea and they are aiming the missels in our direction.
What I did feel positive about was that I keep my dog healthy and happy for the rest of its life – and give it as much love as possible for life is fleeting and terminal at some point.
My dog Whoopie- has a very positive effect on my life – she brings me a laugh when I need one…and playfulness to keep my heart young. I was reading in the chair the other day and she brought me one of her stuffed toys and just left it hanging in her mouth. It cracked me up with laughter -just the expression of ” hey..forget the nonesense” – let’s play for a while. Well I did and it took me away from a very negative occurance.
Life is short and pets certainly in this world provide such comfort to us – especially in hard times. If you do not have a pet in your life -go and adopt one in an animal shelter after you have considered what dog adoption entails. You will never regret owning a pet of your own and there are many who need homes right now. Get in touch with the Human Society or your local Animal Shelter.

The prestigious Westminster is the Super Bowl of Dog Shows and now has its winner for the 2009 show and it did not fail to please the judges or the audiences. The final group of dogs or Best of Breed included dog breeds such as: a Scottish deerhound named after Tiger Woods the golfer.
Another dog was a Puli which is like my own dog a corded breed that have dreadlocks and are part of the Sheep herding breed. There was also a Scottish terrier in the finalist group picked by the Westminster judges
The Winner is a 10 year old Senior Spaniel named “Stump” and he won the best in Show at the Westminster. Stump is an amazing dog and the oldest dog ever to have won a Westminster Show competition in over 133 years of its history.
Stump in dog years is about 70 years old ! What a trooper he is and to have survived a medical condition in 2004 which almost killed him he is also truly a hero. The other contender in 1999 for “Oldest Westminster Dog Show Winner” is a Papillon who was only 8 years old and won against stiff competition.
You would think that his gate was slower, and his movements due to arthritis but Stump did not show any effects of age related problems and did not slow down one bit thorough out the show’s activities.
Stump had a very shiny coat looked good with his floppy ears flailing in the wind and was as confident as any trooper would be but had his own laid back style won the hearts of many. Stump beat out the big dogs like the giant Schnauzer and the Standard Poodle that were amongst the finalists at the Westminster Dog Show.
Last year we reported that the Beagle named “Uno” which means one in Italian won the 2008 Westminster Competition and now Stump the Spaniel is proud elder statesman of the 2009 Westminster Championship Winner.
You may be confused today with the choices available in pet supplements and vitamins at your local pet store and even more when shopping online.
A good rule on buying supplements for your pet is to buy the very best quality as it is worth the price.
Most dog foods do not contain enough nutrition for your dog even if the advertising claims say new and improved you have to look at ingredients.
Supplementing your pet’s diet is not only saving you money on vet bills but also keeps your dog in a good healthy condition.
Buy from a Reputable Company:
Many companies will just cut corners on quality ingredients and offer substandard vitamins and supplements. But there are companies on line that have longstanding reputations to uphold and we recommend those very highly.
Organic supplement companies use natural ingredients with no chemical additives, colors, fillers, and useless ingredients. A good supplement company will have their own testing laboratories to test their products and even give them to their own pets.
Stick with the Basics:
A good multiple vitamin in one pill is much desired by pet owners since giving a pet a pill is not easy. Vitamin B is extremely helpful as is Vitamin A and D. A good essential fatty acid supplement will help with dry, or itchy skin and coat problems.
Some vitamins are available in liquid form which is easy to administer with a spoon or sprinkled on food.
Natural vs. Synthetic Supplements:
Vitamins that come from natural sources such as plants are far more effective and preferable than those that are imitation or made from chemicals in a lab.
Again quality makes the difference and you would rather pay a few cents more per pill than to buy something that is not effective and not worth the money. Always using natural supplements is the best advice in finding a supplier of the best for your dog.

This new study also reinforces other studies of the past that also confirmed this trend towards more alternative and natural health medicines amongst cancer patients.
