A friend said I should put my 16 year old schipperke on this stuff.

She was sheared short in Aug and the hair is
growing back in real patchy. Some long n shaggy
like it should be. Other areas on her sides and
top of hips are 1/8" fuzz.

She also stinks even fresh out of the bath.
Both these are claimed to be cured in their ads.

I'd appreciate any experience with this stuff as
it's very expensive. $70/90 days worth incl shipping.

I would say age and health are big factors for what you are describing. I have no experience with dynamite and really had no clue of the cost.

She's very lively and seems healthy
other than cataracts, hearing and
throat is trying to close up some.
Cough's at times.

She does her version of running inside and out.
when I tease her she'll run around the table and
around thru the kitchen. OR stand and test bite while I tease her grabbing her mouth, ears or butt/tail, chases her tail like a pup at times.

Too bad her sight and hearing are going. Life span for this breed is 16, oldest on record is 19. She'll be 16 the 10th of March.

Thanks for the reply Reb.

Our mini schnauzer is 13 and he’s starting to show and feel his age.
He sleeps in our bed and it’s hard on him jumping up and down now.
Like you I would do whatever it took if it helped him get healthier.
Are you going to try the dynovite? Do you give yours any vitamins, fish oil?

i think biebs uses this (on himself)

I ordered a test run of 90 days and some
of the liquid. $85 or so.

We'll see. Believe I'll call the groomer for
a touch up and bath.

With this half assed knee replacement and
half my spine screwed down it's so hard
and painful to kneel in the tub to scrub
her down.

WTH, Sam & Donald sent us some play money
just as well spend it on something worth
while.

Thanks for the replies.

George

I use it for all 5 of my hunting dogs and they love the licko chops. I feel it helps there coats and digestive tract. Been using it for years

Thanks. Midnight don't like the stuff, over two
weeks now and eats hardly any of it.

Took awhile to start eating her food with
fish oil on it. She's getting used to that.
but, takes days to eat a pkg of food with the
powder on it.

She'll be 16 next week. it's good to see her losing some of the fat from lack of eating too.
so it's not a total waste.

Hell I shot over 250 prairie dogs many a day
with my '06 and 110's. No idea the vel or load
now. Plumb hot though. That's all I had besides a .22 for many years. Believe I used 4895 for those too.

One thing that impressed me doing that was there wasn't anything left for the coyotes. Just a red
misted triangle from where they were when hit til it was used up.

Same load did one hell of a blow up job on coyotes too.

Might be your rifle is too light weight to cut recoil down. IF that's it, hang a brick on it.

Just yanking your chain a bit is all with what I did as a kid.



Maybe that's why you can't even give a dog a bath. Hell I could scrub down elephants.

Obviously.

Or he would not have fallen in love with a Blaser!

Damn, Saeed, THAT'S FUNNY!!

I started our red heeler on dinovite and canine support last year. We used both products for a few months and did see a small change.
The vet at her next check up did blood work and found the issues to be due to a thyroid problem.
She had patchy hair that was very course, off smell and no energy.
The meds from the vet for the thyroid fixed her and she is full of energy and less grumpy(female lol)and just as fluffy as ever. Her breath and general dog smell is a whole lot better too.

Sad news. Midnight died last night.
Just turned 16 last week.

She paced around for two days and a night.
Scared, tried to hide in some of the most
ridiculous places. 4-5" space behind a freezer.

I went looking for her and she barked once every few seconds. Finally saw just a bit of her butt sticking out. Wedged in so tight I couldn't pull her out by the scruff of her neck. Finally pulled her out by the back legs.

About 9 I put her in her bed in the bedroom and closed the door. I went to bed about 12 and stepped over her.

Got up to p about 4am and she was stiff.
I'd asked a friend the evening before to stop by and dig the hole. Man I sure was glad as I'd never been able to do it.

She's out of pain and panic now. Buried her today. Had her just about 10 years near as I can figure. Mighty sad to watch her go thru it all.

George

Very sad to hear this George.

Sounds like you gave that dog a great life.

Thank you. I gave it my best.

She was happy all the time.
I laid down on the floor with her Thursday.
Told her I loved her, turned and kissed me.

Mighty sad to lose them, but, it's all part of
the life of sharing pets it seems.

George

Never easy to lose a member of the family. Dogs fill a special need for us I believe.

In answer to your original question, yes, Dinovite can help with a number of canine issues. We've been using it for quite a number of years with our Labs.
It apparently doesn't taste too great, lol. Haven't had a dog yet that didn't take some conditioning and cover food, like the Lick O Chops stuff they sell. Bacon grease works well also.

A Dog's Prayer
Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the
loving heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience
and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.
Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of
my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.
When it is cold and wet, please take me inside... for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to
bitter elements... and I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth...
though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow
in the warmest home in all the land... for you are my god... and I am your devoted worshiper.
Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you
when I suffer thirst. Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to
walk by your side, and stand ready, willing and able to protect you with my life, should your life be in
danger.
And, beloved master, should the Great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me
away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal
rest...and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.
--Beth Norman Harris

That's very nice and I thank you Ron.

George

You're welcome George.

Bless you George. You followed the poem for sure. It was a happy dog that left you. That is the only cost of owning them. As they leave part of your heart goes with them. Be Well, Packy.

thanks Packy.

George
