General Product Information

Q: Can all of your natural pet food supplements be used together or will I overload my pet?

A: Natural pet food supplements should be chosen for your pet’s individual nutritional needs. The vitamin supplements we promote work very well together and since they are all very unique and different, they will not overlap and harm your pet. You may use all the pet supplements at once, or chose the ones that fit your particular pet’s needs. Call or email us with your questions and we will help you consider products that are most appropriate for your pet’s needs.

Q: What is the shelf life of the natural pet grooming products you make?

A: All of the pet grooming supplies have an indefinite shelf life. Since they all contain herbal extracts, they can be used safely for many years. The extracts themselves are their own natural preservatives.

Q: Someone recommended Flax Seed Oil as a good supplement for my pet’s skin and coat. What do you suggest?

A: Any oil added to commercial pet food may produce some temporary beneficial results for your pet’s skin and coat, but we recommend VitaGlo Dream Coat for optimum health. Many people are under the false impression that Flax Oil is a good choice, but the reality is that Flax Oil only contains Omega 3 and 6 Fatty Acids. Many veterinary studies reveal that the best Essential Fatty Acids for dogs and cats come from a variety of sources, including Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid and Gamma-Linolenic Acid as well as the Omegas 3 and 6 — all of which are found in Dream Coat. This is the only product we know of to provide a complete, full spectrum blend of essential fatty acids.

Q: Do you have anything for chronic eye discharge?

A: Many pets have chronic eye problems and the cause is generally two-fold. Some pets are bred to have "peke faces" and therefore have bent tear ducts. Debris can clog in the bend and the waste backs up in the tear duct, spills out on the face and produces ugly eye discharge. Try using the Cloud Nine Herbal Eye Wash, which opens up clogged tear ducts and cleans them out. This natural product is great for eliminating bacteria in the eyes, which can cause swelling and redness.

Q: Any suggestions for adding fiber to my dog food? I know my vet has stressed that she wants my dog on a low fat, high fiber food.

A: VitaGlo Vita-Mineral Mix is a great source of raw fiber! It also supports your pet’s digestive and muscular-skeletal systems, as well as maintain your pet’s stress level.

Q: Isn’t Tea Tree Oil poisonous to cats?

A: Both Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve and Cloud Nine Herbal Dip are completely safe for any pet. We don’t use anywhere near the amount of pure concentrated Tea Tree Oil that could cause toxicity in cats and our solutions are obviously diluted with other ingredients — in 20 years, we’ve never harmed a pet. Rest assured our products will only make your pets happier and healthier.

Q: Both my dog and cat have perpetually greasy coats. Even after I bathe them, they’re still somewhat oily.

A: Your pets are not emulsifying the fatty waste in their bodies. Use our VitaGlo Vita-Mineral Mix. It helps to push the waste out of the body through normal channels and not out onto the skin and coat. It’s also a sign that the food you’re using is not a high quality product. You could switch to Spot’s Stew to support your pet’s skin and coat.

Specific Products

Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve

Q: Where can I apply Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve?

A: Our Herbal Healing Salve is lick proof and stick proof, so it’s no problem near the mouth or on any part your dog can reach. It’s safe and even when licked would never harm your pet! Your dog won’t be able to lick it off. It will only work into the area better — and likely have even greater results.

Q: My dog likes to lick the Cloud Nine Herbal Healing Salve when I use it on his skin. Is this bad for him?

A: There is nothing in our product line that could hurt a pet. Actually licking the Salve is very soothing and will help it penetrate into the problem areas and make it more effective. Some people have said that their dog liked it so much that they even ate an entire jar when the owner wasn’t looking. Always keep your products in a safe place to avoid any unwanted situations. Accidentally eating even a whole jar could cause a little loose stool, but there shouldn’t be a problem.

VitaGlo Dream Coat

Q: How long does it take see a difference in my dog’s coat when using VitaGlo Dream Coat?

A: Depending on the size of dog and symptoms, you can notice changes and differences in a matter of days. For a larger dog, 100 pounds or more, expect 2 to 3 weeks. Also remember Dream Coat never stops working, so you should never stop using it. We believe every pet in the world should be using Dream Coat daily.

Q: I’m starting my animals on VitaGlo Dream Coat and I’m wondering if the serving suggestions on the bottle are for daily servings or should be given at each meal?

A: Dream Coat dosage is per day. You can divide the dose between multiple daily meals, or just give the full dose with one meal.

Q: Should VitaGlo Dream Coat be refrigerated after opening?

A: We recommend that you keep Dream Coat in the refrigerator after opening. If it gets a little cloudy, just take it out and place it on the counter for a few minutes before you need to use it. A quick stir later and all is well.

Remember, don’t stop using it and it won’t stop working! Dream Coat works wonders and really gives you and your dogs the coat of your/their dreams!

VitaGlo Vita-Mineral Mix

Q: Is the VitaGlo Vita-Mineral Mix to be used in wet food or only as part of a raw food diet?

A: Our Vita-Mineral Mix can be used with dry, wet, raw, or whatever kind of food. YOU MUST ADD WATER (or Spot’s Stew broth) to Vita-Mineral Mix before feeding it to your pets because it has yeast in it and needs to expand OUTSIDE a pet’s tummy, not inside. In addition, it supports your pet's digestive and muscular-skeletal system, as well as helps to maintain your pet's skin and coat.

The Vita-Mineral Mix is a raw pet food supplement meaning that it is not processed at any time and the ingredients are indeed raw. Just remember to add water before adding it to your pet’s food.

Q: I noticed you use Montmorillonite in your Vita-Mineral Mix. What is it?

A: Montmorillonite Clay is a wonderful source of trace minerals. It’s tasteless and odorless and provides all the same beneficial properties of kelp. It’s actually the seabed that kelp grows in, but dogs and cats don’t mind the taste. It absorbs easily and is very digestible.

VitaGlo Xtra-C

Q: Should I keep my VitaGlo Xtra-C in the fridge?

A: You don’t have to refrigerate the Xtra-C. Keep it in a cupboard at home. Just be sure to keep it stored in a cool, dry place.

Q: Can you overdose your pet on vitamin C?

A: Vitamin C is hard to overdose on because the body will flush out whatever it doesn’t need.

Q: I have been using Calcium Ascorbate and Sodium Ascorbate for many years as part of my pets’ supplementation. How does Xtra-C compare?

A: Both Calcium and Sodium Ascorbate provide some beneficial Vitamin C, but since they’re buffered — they are generally less potent than pure Ascorbic Acid. Calcium Ascorbate contains calcium, which could throw off the important calcium-phosphorous ratio in your pet’s system. No pet needs additional sodium in their diet, so we don’t recommend that either. Since Xtra-C is pure Ascorbic Acid, you are actually getting the most potent Vitamin C (5,000 mg. per tsp.) on the market today. Why provide your pets with a product that boasts fillers. To get your pet accustomed to this supplement, start by using half the recommended dosage for a few days until their bodies become used to it and gradually increase until the desired results are achieved.

Q: My cat just got over a bladder infection. I ordered some of your Xtra-C supplement. Do you think it will help?

A: Yes, Xtra-C will help maintain your pet’s good bladder health, as will our VitaGlo Daily Greens, and of course, a diet of our Spot’s Stew. If your cat is having recurring bladder infections, you should examine the food you are feeding. Grains make a cat’s body more alkaline, promoting a greater chance at bladder infections and urinary tract problems. Cats do not require grains in their diet at all.

Cloud Nine Herbal Dip

Q: I don’t like putting harsh chemicals on my pet, and prefer natural aromatic oils. How much Cloud Nine Herbal Dip should I use to make an herbal spray for my pet?

A: Use 1/2 teaspoon with 16oz of water in the spray bottle! Enjoy!

Dinner Party

Q: Do you think your Dinner Party could be added safely to my dog’s food to increase her appetite?

A: Dinner Party would surely stimulate her appetite as well as aid in the digestion of the nutrients. We would also recommend our Spot’s Stew as it is the most optimal diet for any pet.
