Q: How do I determine the proper dosage to give my pet?
A: The dose is determined by the size of the pet and the severity of the symptoms (lack of energy, lethargy, etc. as commonly seen in senior pet). The dosage is 2-6 capsules, twice daily. Examples: 12# or less (1-2 caps/twice daily); 13# - 50# (2-4 caps/twice daily); over 50# (4-6 caps/twice daily). Start with higher loading dose first week or two, then find best effective maintenance dose.
Q: Can I overdose my pet on Spice of Life Formula?
A: No, not as long as you stay within the recommended dosing guidelines (an exception may be that a very large pet - 100# or more, may need to dose a bit higher). This is an all-natural, herbal combination found to be safe and, generally, without serious side effects. The formula has beneficial properties with long-term use (unlike most conventional drug therapies).
Q: What other products are available to help the senior aged dog or cat?
A: We have several products that are excellent for problems commonly seen in the senior aged pet. Among these is Eye See Clearly (cataracts), Lame-eze Full Treatment Packs (pain), Nuroplex (liver support); Healthy Fresh (digestion and coat), etc. See our Shop by Symptom tab for more information on these and others.
Q: Can I put the Spice of Life Formula in my pet's food?
A: The capsules can be opened and put in food; however, sometimes you can't be sure that your pet is eating all of it this way. You can try some tricks to get him to eat the capsules. One way that works well for most pets is to melt a thin piece of cheese in the microwave, then wrap the sticky cheese all around the capsule (most pets will just wolf it down this way). Another option is to hide the capsule in a small meatball of canned food (dog food or even canned cat food ). Of course, you can always try wrapping the capsule in a thin slice of lunch meat, or even putting peanut butter or cream cheese on it. Another option is to open the capsule, dilute in water, and either mix into food or syringe directly into pet's mouth.
