Is your dog or cat chewing too much grass?

Pureganic Pet Health Mineral Powder is a natural, organic, nutritional supplement for our companion animals. It's easy to use, just sprinkle on their food.

Saber began to get sick

After all the years of raising, breeding, training and showing dogs I thought I knew everything I needed to know about nutrition for my dogs health and hadn’t given much thought to the need for mineral supplements until I almost lost one of my dogs from a mineral deficiency.

I moved to a new place back in 1996 and within a few months my Ridgeback male "Saber" began to get sick.

The first symptom I noticed was "obsessive" grass eating, which he would later vomit back up. A little grass chewing is O.K., but Saber was down right mowing it!

Next he began hunching up with abdominal cramps, developed diarrhea and began to stagger.
His diet hadn't changed and I couldn't find anything toxic he could have ingested.

Luckily, I have a great veterinarian who quickly ruled out poisons and diagnosed him with Pancreatitis.

This is also known as "Garbage Gut", a condition dogs develop when they've eaten indigestible, intestinal blocking substances which can lead to Malabsorption Syndrome.

Doc said to recheck the whole property and I did. No garbage, rotting deer carcass, bones, offal
(or awful) things were out there.

Next Doc said to check his stool.

(My dog's that is.)

First I had to find it! Then I had to sieve it. Not fun, but at last I found the culprit! Clump after clump of clay!

The soil in the area had a high clay content and he was getting a steady supply from all the grass he'd been chewing.

So what was wrong with his diet that compelled him to overgraze? His dog food was good and hadn't changed.

What about water?

I was using the existing storage tank and rainwater collection system while my well was being drilled. Rainwater does not contain the minerals that water, which has percolated through the ground, does.

So, nature compelled him to find another source! I was lucky to have such a good Vet help me find the answers, before it was too late.

Because the Rhodesian Ridgeback is a large breed dog, I buy a 50lb. bag of food.

I add about ¼ cup of Pureganic Mineral Powder to the dry food and mix it into the top 8 inches and repeat as the bag empties.

It looks chalky at first but is later absorbed into the feed.

For small dogs and cat food a pinch mixed in with their regular pet food, once daily should be enough.

Sandy,

This stuff is great. As you know I work nightshift. I am no longer tired and burnt out. I have much more energy. I have a cat who suffered from lymes disease with after effects of stiffness and muscle pain. I also put him on the minerals and manna. It's been a month and he's playing and picking on the other cats again. It really did my heart good to see that. I really thought it would eventually be his end. Will be ordering more manna.

Thanks again, Lorraine

Sandy, Thank you

Sheri has been giving them to all the animals. We have been giving our cats minerals for two years and their health has improved dramatically.

Since they are Persian or half Persian we can see changes in their fur fairly quickly. Their fur went from dull to shiny and the quality improved too. By that I mean the loft and density was better. Our ten year old Persian female escaped and got pregnant so we were quite concerned for her health.

We fed her a teaspoon of minerals daily with each bowel of dry food and water. She really liked that. All five of her kittens were delivered easily and were perfectly healthy.

Actually they were more than perfectly healthy.

They are so calm and intelligent with such good personalities that we ended up keeping the entire litter!

Thank you Sandy for the Pureganic Minerals.

They are an important part of our life and we so appreciate your efforts.
